Pro-Gingrich group’s Romney attacks channel Ted Kennedy
By Cameron Joseph - 01/11/12 02:20 PM ET
The attacks from a pro-Newt Gingrich group on Mitt Romney as a “corporate raider” echo similar charges made by an old Romney opponent: Sen. Edward Kennedy (D-Mass.).
The late Democratic icon made startlingly similar arguments as Gingrich, a former GOP Speaker of the House, when he faced Romney in a 1994 Senate race. Kennedy ended up winning the election.
The pro-Gingrich group is running ads that criticize Romney's years at Bain Capital, the private equity fund he once headed.
The ads run by the pro-Gingrich group use footage from an anti-Gingrich documentary, including testimonials from workers in Marion, Ind. who were laid off when there company was bought by Bain.
“You’re going to be on a hit list, you know that,” says one in a trailer for the movie.
“It hurt so bad to leave my home because of one man who has 15 homes,” says another.
Kennedy's campaign also used footage of workers who said Romney had cost them their jobs. In Kennedy’s ads, one worker said Romney “basically cut our throats,” while another said “he’s cut our wages to put money back in his pocket.”
Gingrich has defended the new ads, saying he was glad to have the support from the outside group.
Many Republicans are worried that the attacks will hurt Romney in the general election by reinforcing an argument Democrats have made for months.

Right wing rips Gingrich, Perry for attacks on Romney, capitalism
By Justin Sink - 01/11/12 12:31 PM ET
Conservatives are savaging Newt Gingrich and Rick Perry for their attacks on Mitt Romney’s years at the private-equity firm Bain Capital.
The attacks from Gingrich and Perry, whose presidential campaigns are on life support, are meant to resonate in South Carolina, the next state on the GOP calendar and a place hit hard by the economic downturn.
Yet in slamming Romney as a corporate raider, the two candidates fighting for their party’s right-wing might have done what Romney never seemed capable of: rallying conservatives around the former Massachusetts governor’s campaign.
The influential Wall Street Journal editorial page denounced the criticism as “crude and damaging caricatures of modern business and capitalism” on Tuesday, saying that “desperate” GOP candidates “sound like Michael Moore,” the left-wing filmmaker and provocateur.
Other prominent conservatives similarly bemoaned what they viewed as liberal attack tactics that will be copied by President Obama’s campaign in November.
Conservative talk radio stalwart Rush Limbaugh said Monday of Gingrich’s criticism that “you could have read this in an Occupy Wall Street flier.”
“You could, after all these bites, say, ‘I’m Barack Obama, and I approve this message,’” Limbaugh said.
Former GOP vice-presidential candidate Sarah Palin on Tuesday warned on Fox News that candidates should shift the debate from “anti-capitalist mantra to what it is that the GOP really represents in free markets.”
