Former Obama deputy press secretary Bill Burton is running the PAC that’s behind the absurd “Mitt killed my wife!” ad. This afternoon, Burton was on CNN attempting to explain himself. It didn’t go well. Here’s a screenshot that sums the whole thing up.
Bryan Preston has been a leading conservative blogger and opinionator since founding his first blog in 2001. Bryan is a military veteran, worked for NASA, was a founding blogger and producer at Hot Air, was producer of the Laura Ingraham Show and, most recently before joining PJM, was Communications Director of the Republican Party of Texas.
The MSM is still “all in” to protect Dear Leader; do not be deceived into thinking otherwise. CNN has made the calculation that should Romney’s surrogates reciprocate by producing ads depicting the Communist Kenyan through TRUE AND FACTUAL REPRESENTATIONS of his communist/islamist upbringing and associations, as well as documenting the astronomical numbers of lies on top of lies that this administration has propagated upon the American people, that he would be politically and socially finished. Forever. They are not being fair and defending Mitt Romney, although he may see it that way. They are trying to stop the other side from crossing that line and exposing the truth behind their Pol Pot on the Potomac.
If Romney or any pro-Romney superPAC does an ad linking Obama to Fast & Furious and the death of a border patrol agent I have no doubt CNN will equate it with this Priorities USA ad even though they are very different. There is real linkage with the Obama administration.
David Gergen on CNN just criticized the Obama campaign and pro Obama superPACs for their lies, but then equated “the other side” with “birtherism” talk. That is a false comparison because the Romney campaign nor any pro-Romney superPACs have put out an ad saying Obama was born in another country.
hmmmm
You may be onto something there.
Attempt to pre-emtively neutralize Fast and Furious by setting up a false parallel of Romney’s own “murders”. That could be the reason for the slimey and easily disproven slander.
“Pol Pot on the Potomac.”
Hehe. How about ‘Pol Pothead on the Potomac’.
The minute The President’s super PAC hits back the entire media cries foul in a loud concerted voice. It seems that Romney and his coordinated PACS can produce any lie they feel necessary, but when someone hints at the devastation that Mitt’s raiders have wrought then the playground bullies scream like little girls. The veracity of this story seems closer to the real truth of Mitt Romney than the edited ads we see taken out of context and “real people” who are willing to lie concerning who helped them build their businesses. I saw a man who suffered under a company that Mitt Romney was the leader of. This man was left with nothing and in the end….his wife died. Whether it was from the stress of the situation Mitt Romney created or the lack of resources it was still a direct result of policies that Romney sanctioned and profited from. If you are big enough to hit…..then you are big enough to get hit….suck it up.
1. GST was in trouble before Bain took it on.
2. Since 1999, Romney did not manage Bain anymore, though still listed as CEO.
3. GST was shut down in 2001. At the time, a bundler for Obama (yes, Obama) was in charge of Bain.
4. When GST was shut down, the man’s wife had insurance through her own employer. She subsequently lost that job.
5. In 2006, she was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer and died shortly thereafter.
NO ONE SUFFERED UNDER ROMNEY. HOLY CRAP. SO MANY DISTORTIONS.
Romney wasn’t “in charge” of the company. Even if he’d been managing Bain, he STILL wouldn’t have been “in charge” of GST. It had its own management, which did not do a good job, which is why it was eventually closed down. BY AN OBAMA BUNDLER.
SHE STILL HAD INSURANCE WHEN HE LOST HIS JOB.
IT WAS FIVE YEARS LATER BEFORE SHE DIED.
It’s like you guys don’t understand how facts work.
– nothing to lose his soul for the whole world — but for Obama????
They say they want to show how people were affected by the layoffs made by Bain while Romney was there or listed as CEO. They’re attempting to demonstrate the hardships people were placed under. What about the coal miners, the layoffs and closings that Obama and his EPA are responsible for? What about the hardships they now face? Or the employees from Delphi who were cheated out of their pensions and retirement benefits in order to satisfy the unions? Obama and his policies are responsible for much more hardship than Romney or Bane could possibly be held to account. Is it just me, or is the Romney campaign flailing on this?
Take him out back of the woodshed…
Bill will be compensated in ways few can even comprehend for mortgaging his credibility and, really, soul in service to the cause. In any case he won’t need either since, I’m pretty sure, he has no plans to ever seek honest work or salvation.
