This ad, and the Romney campaign response, and the rightwing outrage over the Romney campaign response, has been the major headline story of the past 24 hours, has consumed the right wing conservative blogs, Fox News, Limbaugh, and the airwaves of the left, too, and is the major political story continuing today.
It was the story on 100% of political shows last night and this morning.
See other thread about this from yesterday, http://www.derbytrail.com/forums/showthread.php?t=47850, where Pointman called discussing this major political story a mindless attack nobody cares about. |
Now lets get past Riot's nonsensical attempts to deflect from the facts here and unfairly disparage me and get to the real facts:
* Bain Capital bought GST mill in 1993.
* Romney left Bain in 1999 to run the Salt Lake City Olympics.
* Bain closed the mill in 2001.
* Joe Soptic lost his job, but his wife Renae retained her job
and her own health insurance at Saver's Thrift Store.
* Renae loses her job and
her own health insurance at Saver's in 2002 after sustaining an injury.
* In 2006, a full 5 years after the steel plant closed, Renae is diagnosed with cancer and passes away soon after.
This ad is a despicable attempt to smear Romney with absolute lies and is supported by the Obama campaign. Obama's attempts to distance himself from it are more lies, Obama is still taking money from this PAC and Soptic is featured in at least three other promos by the campaign.
Obama's continued attempts to throw lies out with the success of the mindless blindly believing them (see Riot) is disgusting.
