defrogYr Liberal Hollywood Obamaganda headline of the day:
[Via Def Agent jasonfranks and The Mary Sue]
This is the most awesome conspiracy theory ever.
Just listen to this:
Well of course it’s not. It couldn’t be more obvious. Granted, Bane was created as a character almost 20 years ago, and Christopher Nolan decided to use Bane for the third Batman film back around 2009-2010. But c’mon, of all the Batman villains they could have picked, they picked the one that just happens to sound like a company that Mitt Romney used to work for?
WHAT ARE THE ODDS?
Okay, I know, I’m giving this far more attention than it deserves. Limbaugh has long since demonstrated that his broadcasting style involves pretty much zero research in whatever topic he decides to riff on that day, and I remain convinced he does this mostly for the attention, and/or to fuck with people. Or possibly the SEO gains. I think he enjoys being flame bait. So really, I’m just playing into his hands here.
Still.
Incidentally, Rush’s “point” in bringing this up is that lots of people are going to see this film and associate Bane with Bain, and that Team Obama is somehow banking on this to work in his favor:
Uh huh. I have five American dollars that says the “discussion” only existed in Limbaugh’s head before he mentioned it.
The Bane of yr existence,
This is dF

RUSH: 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. The movie has been in the works for a long time, the release date's been known, summer 2012 for a long time. 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?
Well of course it’s not. It couldn’t be more obvious. Granted, Bane was created as a character almost 20 years ago, and Christopher Nolan decided to use Bane for the third Batman film back around 2009-2010.

And there's now discussion out there as to whether or not this was purposeful, and whether or not it will influence voters.
Uh huh. I have five American dollars that says the “discussion” only existed in Limbaugh’s head before he mentioned it.
