Huntsman To Field: Cool It With All The Bain Stuff

Jon Huntsman is not happy with his rivals’ attacking Mitt Romney over his time at Bain Capital, and he’s telling them strongly to knock it off.

From the Washington Post:

“If you have creative destruction in capitalism, which has always been a part of capitalism, it becomes a little disingenuous to take on Bain Capital,” Huntsman told reporters Wednesday after a campaign appearance at the University of South Carolina in Columbia. “I think it’s more instructive to look at governor Romney’s record as governor.”

This is pretty much the same line Rush Limbaugh and other conservatives are taking as they attack Newt Gingrich and Rick Perry for going after Bain.
