Rush Limbaugh spies link between Dark Knight Rises’ Bane and Bain

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 today’s show. He apparently acknowledged that the development of the Christopher Nolan film predates the current line of attack by President Obama’s reelection campaign, but even the pesky tendency of time to move in a linear fashion — retroactive retirements aside — can’t get in the way of a good conspiracy theory!


“So this evil villain in the new Batman movie is named Bane. And there’s discussion out there as to whether or not this was purposeful and whether or not it will influence voters. It’s 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 it’s a lot of brain-dead people, entertainment, the pop-culture crowd, and they’re going to hear Bane in the movie and they’re going to associate Bain. And the thought is that when they’re 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!’”

3. So the comic book writers "retroactively" named their villain to smear Romney?

The character has been around since 1993.

I guess once you start down the road of denying reality, ignoring little things like the linear flow of time is just as easy as anything else.

One's an evil genius plotting complete destruction off the death and suffering of others - and the other is a Batman villain.

I don't think this Bain/Bane idea would be believed by your average 6 year old.
