Obama's Romney Bain Capital Attack Right Or Wrong?



Obama's Bain Capital attack, Lawrence O'Donnell's "oh-face" and Mexico. If you're not disturbed by the end of this episode, then there's something seriously wrong with one of us.

Question: Do you think Obama is exaggerating Romney's connection to Bain Capital?

As long as there is solid fact checking, any attack is ok.

Are you saying any attack is okay, regardless of its veracity, so long as an independent fact checking source can report whether the attack is true or not?

If so, don't you then run into the problem of politicians saying whatever they want and counting on voters believing them over the fact checkers, which don't get nearly as much media play as their ads?

is "Fact Checker" doesn't mean it always spews out facts. Romney tried to tout the fact checkers, didn't quite work
