Rep. James Clyburn (D., S.C.) described Mitt Romney and Bain Capitals record as one of raping companies in a Tuesday interview with MSNBC.
ANCHOR: But, congressman, what about the counterargument to that? What about the counterargument that these attacks on Bain Capital many see them as an attack on free enterprise as well.
CLYBURN: This is not an attack on free enterprise. I would say to you, [unclear] free enterpriseI dont take contributions from payday lenders. I refuse to do that. Thats free enterprise. but theres something about that enterprise that I have a problem with. And theres something about raping companies and leaving them in debt and setting up Swiss bank accounts and corporate businesses in the Grand Caymans. I have a serious problem with that.
Despite Clyburns remarks, the congressman has previously taken money from private equity giant Blackstone Group. Blackstone announced Tuesday it will buy Motel 6 for $1.9 billion.

Still, Romney needs to get in front of this. If he can't or won't defend Bain, attack from another angle.
I think Clyburn confused ‘raping’ with ‘rapping’.
To someone with an ounce of political acumen it could be a teachable moment.
That’s OK Jim. Mitt told them to put a little ice on it, like your hero Slick did.
The Democrat legislatures have been raping Republican taxpayers for 70.
