Wait, is this article by the same Froma Harrop that compared the Tea Party to terrorists and at the same time runs the “Civility Project”? The same Froma Harrop that the Daily Show just skewered (with video right here on FR) for being so biased that when made directly obvious to her she still couldn’t see it. Kinda amusing that an article by this woman would be used to attack a venture capitalist company - even one run by Romney the chameleon. Sorry, but my guess is there is more to this story than what Harrop is telling us. I don’t think these attacks on capitalism are the right way to go. There is plenty about RINO Mitt to attack from the right without sounding like a bunch of occutards.

These are no more attacks on capitalism that attacks on abortion are attacks on the practice of medicine.

Yep. Same on. She says civility should rule except she, herself, doesn't have to be civil becasue she's alway right therefore anyone who disagrees with her doesn't deserve civility.

Read my post in #14 and you’ll understand.

Yep. One in the same. Wouldn’t read a thing this woman writes. Waste of time.

would be used to attack a venture capitalist company

I haven't seen any criticisms of Bain's venture capital side -- all the criticisms (including the this one) are of the private equity side that did turn-arounds.

Attacks on capitalism? YOU think this is capitalism?

[Mister Da]

I agree. Some folks here are so obsessed with attacking Romney they’d knock down their own momma to spit on Romney.

Clearly, many of them have no idea what venture capitalists do or why they are beneficial in a free enterprise system. Apparently, they favor some type of REGULATIONS to restrict buyouts or outside capital, the loss of jobs resulting from scrapping or relocating unprofitable parts of a business, or the complete scrapping or relocating of a business & its assets, BY ITS OWNERS.

Apparently, attacking Romney trumps even private property.

Come on. Every single thing done under the umbrella of "capitalism" isn't worthy, honorable, and above reproach. I'm sure you'll agree that just because one can do it doesn't mean one should do it.

Romney is NOT a Republican; he is a Democrat posing as a Republican.

Bain is one of the largest donators to the Democratic Party. What you’re trying to defend as being Capitalism is actually Democrats without ethics in business! For them, any means justifies the end if enriches themselves.

Worth repeating. Because it's the most intelligent post on the thread.

May we have the shole story, please? And may we have it from somebody who knows more about business (and life outside the ivory tower) than Froma Harrop -- who knows nothing about anything?
