Re: The Bain Bomb fizzles
"...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!"
A very perceptive observation, Buck. The Right has always dismissed any criticism of their economic policies as an attack on capitalism, therefore, Socialism.
They have likewise dismissed any criticism of their foreign or military policies as an attack on America, therefore, Treason.
Its delightful to see them caught in their own ideological bear trap for a change, and comforting to know that every potential Palin, Perry or Gingrich supporter now has this contradiction firmly lodged in their mind, placed there by what is to them a totally authentic source. From this day forward, the term "vulture capitalist" has become part of the language,
and it has a perfectly legitimate etymology.
You're absolutely on target. The Right is freaking out in a big way. Look how quickly they moved to discredit your post! 8)
