Can Someone Verify--romney Investment In Clearchannel--limbaugh's Program

[KiwiMango]

I've read, but unable to verify yet--that Romney owns (or is heavily invested in ) Clearchannel. Clearchannel carries Rush Limbaugh's program.

As we all know, Limbaugh is propping up Romney (by trashing others and by structure pro-Romney callers to speak).

Can someone help out with this.

Aside from Rush being a windbag...is he baised for Romney because Romney controls Clearchannel?

Bain Capital purchased ClearChannel. Romney was a co-founder of Bain Capital.

Rush is compromised.

The Limbaugh/Romney connection needs to get out...this is bigger than Hannity/Fox/Guliania.

Thanks for link showing Bain/Clearchannel.

I quit Limbaugh years ago...propaganda tool for establishment.

We need to work to get this ROMNEY/BAIN/LIMBAUGH/CLEARCHANNEL connection out.

Rush is compromised.

I don't know how you can say he's compromised? Having a drug habit out in the open means he's untouchable on the issue. :rolleyes:

The deal has not closed by the way, so Bain does not technically own Clear Channel yet. The deal is expected to close this quarter.

Romney is not part of Bain anymore either........just so everyone knows.

When one is founder of a company...they may 'walk away' however remain invested in many ways.

Romney is worth upwards of $250 million.

I refuse to believe that Romney is fully disassociated from Bain.

Any data on this folks?

While he is not employed by the company he co-founded, he most certainly still has an ownership stake.

Please see page 41 of his personal financial disclosure form. In addition his individual Bain fund holdings are detailed on page 34.
