Clearly the video is slanted politically, but while a few details are fuzzy the essential facts are Bain bought these companies, squeezed them for everything they could and loaded them with debt, then sold them off and made a killing. The employees all lost their jobs and the investors that bought them from Bain lost their shirts.

But that wasn't the point I made. The point is that there has now been a seed of information planted in the minds of the GOP working class folks. Information that would NEVER have been listened to had it come from a democrat or non-rightwing media outlet. That is that it is not an attack on the free market to criticize one company or one businessman. That seed has the right wing establishment folks freaking out in a big way! Now Gingrich is being branded a socialist! LMFAO! We'll see where this goes over the next 9+ months.

P.s., As for the "Bain Bomb Fizzle," what some guy wrote in the financial times is hardly unbiased or going to be well-read on main street.
