Faux Journalist: Criticizing Romney's Record at Bain Capital is Like Birtherism

[onehandle]

Liz Claman hosts a show on the Fox Business Network, the Murdoch outfit that exists solely to carry the water for the MOTUs on Wall Street. And on "This Week" Sunday morning, she did just that -- suggesting that any criticism of Willard's record at Bain Capital is akin to claiming the president was born in Kenya.

BROWNSTEIN: -- broader point, though, when Rush Limbaugh called the Georgetown student a slut, Romney was almost silent. Rick Santorum said Kennedy made him want to throw up. Mitt Romney was silent. These were all opportunities to identify yourself as kind of a more centrist. And he's not taking it. And it is having a cost. If you look at some of those upper middle class, socially liberal, economically moderate white voters, Obama is holding them -- especially the women -- and that is the thin margin that is keeping him on top, and I think it's a consistent challenge for Romney.

CLAMAN: Both of these people, President Obama and Mitt Romney, better get off the whole birther issue, the cars on dog roofs, the Bain Capital, these are side shows. Americans care about the main act and that is jobs, the economy. And at this point, we're not seeing enough jobs. The economy incrementally getting better, and where are the ideas? We better start presenting them.

Stop talking about Bain Capital -- it's a distraction! Except when Mitt Romney does it.

4. How does this compute, I wonder, when with the other side of their mouth

they hold his tenure at Bain up as his major qualifier for being president???

ERROR!! ERROR!1!! ALERT!!1! DOES NOT COMPUTE!!11!!!

5. Rmoney actually was at Bain

These things are the truth. Birtherism is delusional.

To get to his point that they are "side shows" because people care about the economy - then Rmoney and Bain are very relevant, since it has to do with Rmoney's money experience.

6. "Let's talk about jobs and the economy" is Republican code for "let's hate on Obama"

It means lay off criticizing any Republican challenger and only focus on the guy in office. If Republicans really were concerned about growing new jobs, they would run away from Romney as fast as they could because of his terrible track record for growing jobs at Bain and as Governor of Mass.
