One can only presume that cackling sloth Rush Limbaugh is missing all the attention he received earlier in the year when he labeled women on birth control sluts, because he seems to have emerged from his ladyboy sex dungeon this week hell bent on firing all of the shockingly stupid bullets in his big, bloviator’s gun in a desperate ploy for relevance.
As you ma have heard, he kicked off the week by saying that he has no doubt that President Kenyan-Commie McNegro secretly hates America, the country that lifted him from obscurity and made him the most powerful man in the world. Now today he’s making the case that Dark Knight Rises is an elaborate plot cooked up by liberal Hollywood elitists to destroy Mitt Romney.
Here is a thing Limbaugh actually said on the radio today, in all seriousness….
Have you heard this new movie, the Batman movie, what is it, The Dark Knight Lights Up or whatever the name is. That’s right, Dark Knight Rises. Lights Up, same thing. Do you know the name of the villain in this movie? Bane. The villain in The Dark Knight Rises is named Bane, B-a-n-e. What is the name of the venture capital firm that Romney ran and around which there’s now this make-believe controversy? Bain…Do you think that it is accidental that the name of the really vicious fire breathing four eyed whatever it is villain in this movie is named Bane?
In other words, what anyone who’s not delusional can clearly see is an unfortunate coincidence for Mitt Romney, whose dealings with his former firm have been the target of increased criticism and ridicule, this ass wart sees as a years-in-developing conspiracy to bring down an opponent of the guy the socialists have been conspiring to put in power since he was conceived in the early 60s. Nevermind that the movie’s been in development for years and that Bane as a character has been around longer than Romney on Bain Capital have been in the public eye.
Never forget that there are people out there who actually listen to what this fool says.

Wow. Just…….wow.
I……i…i quit humanity.
The only thing that can be added to this is a Picard face palm.
It’s clear Rush is just saying all of these stupid things in order to sully the good name of Geddy Lee.
+1
There aren’t enough faces to palm for this.
I honestly don’t know which is worse: that he’s saying these things because he honestly believes them, or that he’s saying them just to stir the pot and get attention.
Either way, he’s an ass.
Come on, Patty, he can’t possibly believe the things he says … can he??? *shudder*
I doubt it. But, somehow, saying stuff like this just to cause trouble is worse than actually believing it.
Agreed. Because I’m sure at least one of his listeners actually would believe it. (OK, many of his listeners, but I was being optimistic.)
No no no, DC were able to deliberately make Bane the villain all those years ago because of Mittens’ time travelling qualities.
It was done retroactively.
Like his retroactive retirement from Bain Capital? That makes sense….
Wow, what a fucking moron. It scares the shit out of me that people listen to this and other right wing propaganda…..I just don’t know if I want to live any more. I’m taking the next rocket out of here.
I saw the dark knight yesterday. it was boring. So Bane buys Wayne Enterprises with other peoples money, dissolves the company and outsourced crime fighting to India. Bane makes a ton of money and the outsourcing cripples Gotham’s Economy. Personally I think it was too political but, the special effects were awesome tho.
Furthermore, J.R.R. Tolkien was obviously a left-wing clairvoyant, as he otherwise would not have referred to the One Ring as “Isildur’s Bane” and the Balrog as “Durin’s Bane”.
In fact, who is responsible for the word “bane” being introduced into the English language to begin with? Karl Marx?
You know too much. Run! Run for your life!
The left-wing spin on all this will be that Mitt Romney hates Batman,an American icon, and therefore hates America and is not fit to be president.
Plausible,no?
You’re good — very good — but I don’t think hating America disqualifies one from being president. Any more.
I… love this.
He should come down on Joel Schumaker next, because somehow he was psychic enough to smack Bane around back in ’97′s Batman & Robin.
Limbaugh makes me want to vote Democrat in the same way Bill Maher and Sorkin make me want to tattoo GOP 4EVAR!!! on my forehead. Fuck politics, that is all.
Seriously Cajun Boy stop injecting politics into my beloved Upproxx entertainment site. That nonsense is turning me into an alcoholic.
/lying of course, would drink heavily anyway
You all do realize that Limbaugh was just talking about this news story that came out last night. He hardly could talk about Batman. I doubt he knew who Bane was before reading it. [washingtonexaminer.com]
Ummm… yeah. He was discussing the ongoing idea instigated by some Democrats, and described in the Washington Times blog here:
[www.washingtontimes.com]
which references this Washington Examiner editorial: [washingtonexaminer.com]
So… it’s a stupid idea, but not one from Rush. It’s more the Democrat adviser and “liberal blogs” that are being the idiots… Rush was commenting on their ideas, and saying that yeah… some people are so brain dead out there that they could be dumb enough to make such an association, and that people that stupid are likely to be Obama voters, and they “will” be voting in large numbers come November.
but hey… just quoting the first part of the setup to take a potshot at Rush…. not surprising. That passes for quality these days, eh?
To be fair, Rush says stupid, insane shit every single day, so to think that this originated from his mouth isn’t too much of a stretch. He’s a pathetic excuse for a human being who craves attention more than a poorly-behaved 3-year old and absolutely loves saying things that rile people up. As long as people are paying attention to him, he’s happy. Doesn’t matter what the content is. He’ll say it.
Of course Bane is meant to mock Mitt Romney, and don’t bother telling me that Bane became a popular comic book character more than two decades ago.
If the gay Mexican commie-symp terror-Nazis could travel back in time to plant those “documents” and “news” stories “proving” Obama was born in Hawaii in the early 1960s, then they have easily stopped off in the early 1990s to plant the Bane/Bain seed at D.C. Comics as well.
Come on, people. It’s just simple science. Does Rush have to spoonfeed you everything?
Don’t forget that while they were time-traveling back to Hawaii to fake Obama’s birth records, they stopped off and invented whatever that font was that CBS “News” let Dan Rather use to try to invent some jive about W’s military service. Those people are good.
It doesn’t bother me that he says these asinine things. He makes his living being a political jester. What does bother me is that people listen to him and take him seriously.
The Romney/Bane photoshop above is indeed mine. Thanks for sharing the link and giving credit. Here are several more I made back in January: Putting the Bane in Bain Capital . Enjoy. (If you use them elsewhere, please link. Thanks!)
