So Mitt says, "Corporations are people, my friend." By the by, the person wasn't Mittens' friend. It was a sarcastic put-sown of a person Mittens considers a rube for even asking the question..
But, if Mittens is right, then Stephen Colbert is correct to question if Mittens is a serial killer. His time at Bain was full of "creative destruction" in search of capital and profits. If he killed people (and corporations are people, my friend) - at the same rate he killed corporations he would be in jail.

Poor choice of words, of harbinger of death!! You decide.
