Mitt laundered Death Squad money!

Among the Bain investors were Francisco R.R. de Sola and his cousin Herbert Arturo de Sola, whose brother Orlando de Sola was suspected by State Department officials and the CIA of backing the right-wing death squads, according to now-declassified documents.

Romney could also have thanked investors from two other wealthy and powerful Central American clans -- the de Sola and Salaverria families, who the Los Angeles Times and Boston Globe have reported were founding investors in Bain Capital.

While they were on the lookout for investments in the United States, members of some of these prominent families -- including the Salaverria, Poma, de Sola and Dueñas clans -- were also at the time financing, either directly or through political parties, death squads in El Salvador. The ruling classes were deploying the death squads to beat back left-wing guerrillas and reformers during El Salvador's civil war.

The death squads committed atrocities on such a mass scale for so small a country that their killing spree sparked international condemnation. From 1979 to 1992, some 75,000 people were killed in the Salvadoran civil war, according to the United Nations. In 1982, two years before Romney began raising money from the oligarchs, El Salvador's independent Human Rights Commission reported that, of the 35,000 civilians killed, "most" died at the hands of death squads. A United Nations truth commission concluded in 1993 that 85 percent of the acts of violence were perpetrated by the right, while the left-wing Farabundo Martí National Liberation Front, which was supported by the Cuban government, was responsible for 5 percent.

Anything for a buck.

I saw that this morning. I wish I could say I was surprised...(for real)...but I'm not. That sleazebag will do anything to fatten his personal bank account(s).

Do you really think that Obama can keep running away from his record all the way to November?

Squirrel!

He doesn't have to, all he needs to do is show the American Voters what a sleaze Romney is, and how dangerous Romney would be for America, and Obama's record will seem benign in comparison. Very few presidents get a lot done in their first term, especially when they start in a recession......I think the American people will give him 4 more years rather than take a chance on Romney.....

If you are right, the next generation is screwed. Obama has no idea how to improve our economy, and is unwilling to lead on the tough choices. 4 more years of this lack of leadership would be devastating to the next generation.

Hey but all his butt buddies are gonna get some mo stimulus$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

Title is incorrect. If the accusations are true, it should read, "Death squad sponsors also bought into Bain capital". Death squads don't make money, they are an expense.

Interesting how none of the neo-fascists even attempt to refute the truth of the story. But it gives each of them another chance to use "Obama" in a sentence.

this is all you can come up with, you are really grasping for them straws, how stupid are you really getting. Romney did went to Bain, just so he could launder money for death squads. We know it is true cause it is in the huff and puff and a democrat said so. We know how reliable that is NOT.
