Mr. Bimbo came out and claimed the villain in the new "Batman" film was a liberal plot. His fiction isn't fact.
Whenever we need comic relief, there's always Rush Bimbo. I mean Limbaugh, whose blabbings to his Dittoheads get easily lapped up.
Well, he's done it again. Told them a lie. And a big one. (Did you expect anything else?)
He told his listeners July 17 that the villain Bane in the new Batman film "The Dark Knight Rises" was a liberal plot. Never mind that the spelling is different.
"This evil villain in the new Batman movie is named Bane. And there's now a discussion out there as to whether or not this is purposeful and whether or not it will influence voters. It's gonna have a lot of people. This movie, the audience is gonna be huge. A lot of people are gonna see the movie, and it's a lot of brain-dead people, entertainment, the pop culture crowd, and they're gonna hear Bane in the movie and they're gonna associate Bain. The thought is that when they start paying attention to the campaign later in the year, and Obama and the Democrats keep talking about Bain, Romney and Bain, that these people will think back to the Batman movie, ‘Oh, yeah, I know who that is.’ There are some people who think it'll work. Others think you're really underestimating the American people to think that will work."
Stupidity knows no bounds sometimes.
Politifact.com slapped him silly with a lengthy response as to why he is, yet again, being very stupid.
The bottom line, say Politifact: "Bane entered the Batman storyline in 1993. That’s more than a decade before Romney first ran for president in 2007."
Ouch.
Bane's creator, Chuck Dixon, on his message board, also called it "ridiculous." And this was before Limbaugh leveled the charge. He predicted it was coming.
"I saw it on FB like two hours ago," he wrote on his message board. "Ridiculous. Tho' I got a cold feeling in the pit of my stomach that Rush may pick up on this. And (that) would be the second time he pegged me and (co-creator) Graham (Nolan) as liberals on his show."
Dixon, by the way, says he's a conservative, though with stupid pronouncements like this coming from that side, maybe he should consider a change.
Update: I posted this below, but I thought I'd add it here as well.
Limbaugh may have done Obama a big favor in putting this idea out there:
"A lot of people are gonna see the movie, and it's a lot of brain-dead people, entertainment, the pop culture crowd, and they're gonna hear Bane in the movie and they're gonna associate Bain."
