Limbaugh backs off ‘Dark Knight’ Bane conspiracy, but insists ‘Romney is Batman!’
With election 2012 fully underway, Democrats and Republicans are busy grasping at the most vapid, puerile rhetorical attacks possible. Out of all that silly season rabble, conservative radio host Rush Limbaugh has somehow managed to come out on top with a conspiracy theory about the new “Batman” movie being timed to boost Democrats’ chances in November — but less than 24 hours later, he’s already backing off it.
“I never said that!” he declared on his Wednesday broadcast, in an apparent effort to take back his “The Dark Knight Rises” conspiracy theory.
“I have had more reaction to [the Batman conspiracy] than anything, including the Fluke thing!” Limbaugh insisted. “It has been — I’ve had my brother telling me that Twitter is going nuts. I’ve been getting hateful email, supportive email. More people are concerned about what I have said or what I didn’t say about a Batman villain than they are about their own jobs. It’s incredible!”
“I said the Democrats were going to use it,” he clarified. “Which they are! Jon Stewart is harping on it!”
