What is the conservative argument in defense of this kind of shit?

FREE MARKET 4 LYFE INVISIBLE HAND

i gotta give it to the obama campaign i thought swiftboating romney this summer as the evil outsourcing bain guy would be a thud but it ended up working out. not a slam dunk or anything but it doesnt look like it will go away

I don't think it's worked very well at all

well his unfavorability ratings are way up there and he's still projected to lose even after the omgz amazing debate perfprmance. kind of hard to think that image of him had nothing to do with it

It's absolutely repulsive how the W campaign smeared the guy who actually went to Vietnam. That's a pretty poor comparison to make with Bain's gutting of businesses and outsourcing of American jobs, which has less to do with his opposition's characterization of him and more to do with the reality of how a firm like Bain Capital actually makes its money.

This isn't even a flaming pinko commie socialist view. Ask Ronald Reagan's budget director:

if i made money doing it i made the right decision q.e.d.

killtrocity, you do realise you are just parroting the Obama campaign narrative, right?

I'm not saying that this isn't an important issue or whatever, but, yes, you do realise you are just having your strings pulled, correct?

i dont think what they did to kerry equals the bain attacks. i just think both are similar in that they attacked the oppenent early before most voters had an opinion of the candidate. people like us knew who romney was for 5+ years but most of joe schmoe america just now found out

I'm not even sure how to respond. Why does talking about an objective reality make me a parrot? We're talking about an undisputed fact here, and unless you're arguing in favor of Bain Capital's practices then you're a parrot as well. If that's the case, then reveal yourself and I'll respond "you do realize you're a parrot for _______ campaign's narrative, right? I mean you might be making true statements but _______ made the same statement, so you're his puppet, you get that, right dude?"

To be completely honest, I am not familiar with the Obama campaign's specific narrative. I don't care enough about it personally. I have my own perspective.

Perhaps a better question for jczeroman:

Why are vulture investors good for the free market?

Yes but what facts are you talking about, in what way, and with what aim?

Either/or fallacy. One can agree with every single point you make and still point out that it is the narrative which the Obama campaign has inserted into the discussion.

Yes, you can only react to facts that campaigns have not inserted into the discussion.

otherwise you are nothing but a parrot.

Not what I'm saying.

Folks may want to manufacture generalisations from what I've said here, but that would be stupid. All I've mentioned is that in this particular instance, you might as well be reading a press release.

honestly you don't really say much of anything anymore except "you're wrong"

I couldn't think of a way to counter this without confirming it.
