My friends are passing this Future Rolling Stone article around as anti-Romney progaganda. I need to tear this apart. You folks are great at analysis and I have used your comments successfully in debates/discussions many times in the past. Thanks for your thoughts.

Are printed copies of the RS free (as they should be)?

Greed and Debt

I'm confused. Is Bain Capital 15 trillion in debt?

Wasn't it Comrade Obama and The Marxist Show who sang, “On The Cover Of The Rolling Stone?”

“We take all kind of pills and have all kind of the thrills and the boys won't leave us alone...”

I can’t believe they are still publishing Rolling Stone. Most of us grew up and moved beyond that BS a long, long time ago.

Being debt-free is obviously racist.

No doubt RS is a partisan, but it’s true that not everything connecting with Bain should be trumpeted as morally acceptable.

RS is good as torn up to use in the event you do not have regular cat litter, to be the cat litter itself.

Fannie & Freddie crashed the economy, not Bain.

Sometimes the best way to get a message through, is by using a political cartoon. This one fits.

Are those old dopes-smokers still publishing this rag? When the over-65 crowd passes on to their reward, let us hope that this Lefty mouthpiece will perish with them

Anxiously waiting for Matt Taibbi’s scathing takedown of Obama’s corrupt takeover of GM... which destroyed the pensions of school teachers. And Taibbi’s devasting article about leftist Paul Krugman’s work for Enron. And his truth-telling piece about George Soros hoarding billions of dollars that he made from insider trading, while the poor suffer. And.... (/Sarc)

This is a recent cover, in case you thought you were missing something.

... self-righteously anal, thin-lipped, Whitest Kids U Know penny pincher who'd be honored to tell Oliver Twist there's no more soup left.

What I would tell my friends, if I had any friends inclined to read RS, is that when I got to this line in the 3rd paragraph I realized nothing that followed would be anything other than hyperbolic bullshit, and I found something better to do with my time. Then I would dare them to say exactly the same thing but substitute white for black, and then chastise them for being a racist pig. Lastly, I would ask them how much as a percentage of income they gave to charity, and wonder aloud how that compared to what the penny-pinching white boys gave.

It's jolting and probably extremely deceptive for him to write about essentially the same dynamic that Ayn Rand did in Atlas Shrugged as though it were something new, right down to Lenny Patnode, a latter day Eddie Willers. For someone who demands a rigorous intellectual spread sheet from his readers, he fails on the big ideas and the small details as well; for instance, Obama's big bundler Jonathan Lavine actually was hands-on at Ampad http://abcnews.go.com/blogs/politics/2012/05/top-obama-donor-tied-to-bain-layoffs/

What are you doing with leftie friends who read this rag?

You’re known by the company you keep, you know.

Bain ripped Ampad to shreds and dumped the workers out of the street to find new jobs or die, while sucking up all their pension money. That’s just a fact. It’s what corporate raiders do. Not looking at WHY Ampad was vulnerable in the first place, however, is the giant cricket in this story. Outsourcing and giving all sorts of tax breaks to importers while jacking up an ocean of regulations and taxes within the US is what REALLY killed Ampad - Bain was just the scavenger tailing the end of the pack to attack the crippled.

Without the Rat & RINO wholesale sabotage of American business, companies like Bain would be far fewer, have to work far more ethically, or roam elsewhere in the world to stay alive.

My friends are passing this Future Rolling Stone article around as anti-Romney progaganda. I need to tear this apart. You folks are great at analysis and I have used your comments successfully in debates/discussions many times in the past. Thanks for your thoughts.

P.S. - I forgot to end my Post #27 by advising you to - therefore - ask your friends why Ampad was vulnerable to Bain in the first place.
