[div id=excerpt]
The "soon to be released" film, titled "King of Bain: When Mitt Romney Came to Town," - was made by a former [font color=red]Romney[/font] advertising adviser. Its contents mirror attacks that have been made for months by political surrogates of President Barack Obama on Romney's years as the chief officer of the Bain Capital investment firm.

"For the first time, this film will show what Bain Capital actually did," said Rick Tyler, a senior adviser to Winning Our Future, a pro-Gingrich super PAC that acquired the rights to the movie on Friday. The super PAC is posting a two-minute trailer from the 27-minute film on a website Saturday. "They targeted companies … they raided them … and thousands of workers lost their jobs. This is not capitalism. This is predatory," Tyler said.

As first reported Friday night by Peter Boyer of The Daily Beast, the movie was commissioned by Barry Bennett, a conservative activist who heads Alliance for America's Future, a group whose principals include Mary Cheney, a daughter of former Vice President Dick Cheney, and which does not disclose its donors.

Tyler declined to discuss where the Gingrich super PAC came up with the funds to buy its South Carolina ad spots. But several political sources say that the super PAC has been in regular talks with Sheldon Adelson, a billionaire Las Vegas casino magnate.

I find it rather entertaining to see the Newt beat up on Mittens and vice-versa. Heck, it'd be wonderful to see all of the GOP primary candidates spend their dirty money dog-piling on each other.

Thanks for the video. BTW funny pic-- does anyone else think that the tall guy bares a striking resemblance to Ann Coulter?

Was it an intentional misspelling of the word bane meaning: 1.a person or thing that ruins or spoils: 2. a deadly poison
death; 3. destruction; ruin. 4. that which causes death or destroys life:

It wouldn't surprise me if it were some sort of sadistic play on words given the mans callous attitude toward firing people.
