Only Rush would see Dark Knight Rises as some sort of anti-Romney conspiracy theory. Rush, you should really read more comic books, maybe then you wouldn't say such stupid shit. Wait, fire breathing, 4 eyed? Does Rush know anything about Bane? Ugh, the stupid hurts.
Do you think it is accidental that the name of the really vicious fire-breathing, four-eyed whatever-it-is villain in this movie is named Bane? The Hollywood Reporter quotes Limbaugh as saying on todays show. He apparently acknowledged that the development of the Christopher Nolan film predates the current line of attack by President Obamas reelection campaign, but even the pesky tendency of time to move in a linear fashion retroactive retirements aside cant get in the way of a good conspiracy theory!
So this evil villain in the new Batman movie is named Bane. And theres discussion out there as to whether or not this was purposeful and whether or not it will influence voters. Its going to have a lot of people, Limbaugh continued. The audience is going to be huge. A lot of people are going to see the movie. And its a lot of brain-dead people, entertainment, the pop-culture crowd, and theyre going to hear Bane in the movie and theyre going to associate Bain. And the thought is that when theyre going to start paying attention to the campaign later in the year, and Obama and the Democrats keep talking about Bain, not Bain Capital but Romney and Bain, that these people will start thinking back to the Batman movies Oh yeah, I know who that is!
