Mitt Romney Gets Rolling Stoned: Former Music Mag Dedicates Latest Edition to Bashing Romney
Posted by Jim Hoft on Wednesday, August 29, 2012, 9:07 AM
The state-run media springs into action…
The former music magazine known as Rolling Stone published three hit pieces on Mitt Romney this week. And, the cover story was written by unhinged lib Matt Tiabbi famously known for spitting on the corpse of Andrew Breitbart after he passed away earlier this year.
Here’s the cover:
This came in the email:
In the upcoming issue of Rolling Stone, Matt Taibbi looks at how Mitt Romney and Bain Capital staged an epic wealth grab, destroyed jobs – and stuck others with the bill.
“What most voters don’t know is the way Mitt Romney actually made his fortune: by borrowing vast sums of money that other people were forced to pay back,” Taibbi writes in the cover story. “This is the plain, stark reality that has somehow eluded America’s top political journalists for two consecutive presidential campaigns: Mitt Romney is one of the greatest and most irresponsible debt creators of all time. In the past few decades, in fact, Romney has piled more debt onto more unsuspecting companies, written more gigantic checks that other people have to cover, than perhaps all but a handful of people on planet Earth.”
Also in the magazine, on newsstands Friday, Tim Dickinson looks at the federal bailout that saved Romney, including the government documents that show that the legend crafted by Romney is basically a lie.
Dickinson writes: “The federal records, obtained under the Freedom of Information Act, reveal that Romney’s initial rescue attempt at Bain & Company was actually a disaster – leaving the firm so financially strapped that it had ‘no value as a going concern.’ Even worse, the federal bailout ultimately engineered by Romney screwed the FDIC – the bank insurance system backed by taxpayers – out of at least $10 million. And in an added insult, Romney rewarded top executives at Bain with hefty bonuses at the very moment that he was demanding his handout from the feds.”
The articles by Taibbi and Dickinson are in the upcoming issue of Rolling Stone on newsstands Friday. They are online at:

It might make a difference if anyone other than out of work, sitting in their mama’s basements, stoner losers actually read Rolling Stone.

Well slap my butt and call me Charley, the Rolling Stone casts a stone of hatred and arrogance at ‘normal’ America. Tolerance thy name is now hatred.
Tamminator commented:
They all got their orders from the White House. They’re so obvious in all of their moves now that it’s laughable.
Finncrisp commented:
The idiot boys of the left have no idea how anything works. I am struck by the hit pieces about Bain – as if saving a company was supposed to be 100% successful, and those who take on that task do not deserve the compensation they get for taking on that most difficult task.
In baseball, super star hitters fail at least 2/3 of the time. What do these people not get about real life problems?
Crass envy is disgusting.

Regardless of whether this statement is true or not what irony!
“What most voters don’t know is the way Mitt Romney actually made his fortune: by borrowing vast sums of money that other people were forced to pay back,”
What in the world does this author think Barack Obama is doing?
chuck in st paul commented:
Let’s say it’s true – Romney screwed the taxpayers for 10 million. Obysmal screwed us for five TRILLION (so far). Now… which one to I want to vote for… hmmmm, let me think… [/sarc, for those in Rio Linda]
Spider commented:
More echo chamber stuff for the left – they really impress themselves.
Will it influence any voters?
Highly doubt it.
Finncrisp commented:
Also showing a blank page and suggesting Bain has something to hide. Look at all the stuff Barry is hiding – virtually everything – college records, birth records why he has used multiple social security numbers, some issued from states he has not lived in – ever.
Bain is protecting information out of respect for their clients – something these idiots have no concept of…

Works for me. Old Clint definitely knows how to “build” a movie.
Knock ‘em dead, Clint!

Ironic that unless Romney created more than $5 trillion in new debt, the author of this piece is campaigning for one of those “handful of people.”

Jan Wenner became a very wealthy capitalist thanks to all the left-wing sheep in America.
Lightwave commented:
Matt Taibbi has been going after anyone on Wall Street for years now…including Timmy “Turbotax” Geithner.
This is a man who is so completely and utterly deranged that he believes Obamee isn’t socialist enough, and writes almost daily that rich people are the problem and that the proletariat needs to demand the nationalization of the entire financial sector. He won’t be satisfied until the state runs every aspect of your life, down to your breathing schedule because it’s SOOOOOOOOO UNFAIR that CEOs make more money than the pimple-faced kid working the register at Mickey D’s.
If there is a living, breathing example of Jonah Goldberg’s “Liberal Fascism” it’s Matt Taibbi.
Spider commented:
This crap caters to the hard 20% who aren’t going to change their vote, who cares.
Artur Davis talked about 6 million O voters who might have realized they made a mistake.
The R’s need to focus some out reach to those folks, they will determine the election.
Finncrisp commented:
Spider – it is underway at Romney victory center phone banks. Find one near you – I did.
donh commented:
Its a very well done characture of Mitt on an animation art level. …The choice of coloring and motion in the feet give Mitt an anti opposite image of the walking – Mr. Natural – greatful dead character …> http://www.stickerchick.com/RCrumb/b1310.jpg
Ragspierre commented:
Matt Taibbi is…by his own admission…one of the lowest forms of life on the planet. A truly excremental being.
bizjetmech commented:
“…staged an epic wealth grab, destroyed jobs – and stuck others with the bill.”
Are they sure they are talking about Romney?
Patty commented:
It seems success isn’t a good thing, anymore. When did that happen, when the empty suit Obama took office.
Come November this will come to an end and America’s ingenuity and greatness and pride will be restore and those of us can grow stronger and richer monetarily and in mind.
No rag of a magazine or the surrogates of Obama will take our faith in Romney and his extraordinary success away. Look at the empty suit in the White House he has done nothing for the economy and has no business sense.
5 trillion in debt and this rag of a magazine is bashing Romney for his success when Obama has done nothing for the success of America.
Trash and bash of a man who has given more to those in need and has done it for the good of others. Obama and the Rolling Stone make perfect partners they love to dish out the trash.

“…the legend crafted by Mitt Romney is a lie…”
As opposed to what? The legend crafted by barack obama?
