If you thought that the whole Rush Limbaugh conspiracy of "The Dark Knight Rises" was ridiculous, then you're going to love this brilliant parody from last night's "Conan" on TBS. Host Conan O'Brien shows a clip of footage from "The Dark Knight Rises", with Bane's dialogue dubbed over with anti-Romney remarks.

Hey jackass, it WASN'T Rush Limbaugh's conspiracy.

Exactly, it's the liberals who thought up this garbage. People need to do a little research before everyone claims all this stuff.

Damn ever since nailbiter's article this type of crap has been filling the site. Sad thing is, nailbiter is a [frick]ing ron paul supporter but has instead given so much fuel for liberals to use against Conservatives based on false pretences

@superotherside- Conservatives ALWAYS get blamed. This article must either be removed or edited.

It doesn't matter who originally thought of this idea. The fact is that Limbaugh DID say it and he wasn't quoting anybody, he truly believes that it is a ploy to make Romney look bad. Truly, the fact that this is news is not that bad. It brings these kinds of things to the front of our brains so at least we are nationally aware of the similarity. Don't get so riled up commentors! This whole thing is hilarious!

JoeMomma29 - 7/19/2012, 7:13 PM
LOL that was funny!

@ LP4 you right it was not Rush who thought of this but he pushed the envelope and ran with the idea. And since Rush is a idiot of course everyone is going to make fun of him!!!!

@ dDubya72 you took my thoughts and words out of my mouth! Perfection!!!!!!

Agree with the others that it was the liberals who first made the comment and Rush Limbaugh went with it as a spoof to be ridiculous. I don't think he thought people would take him seriously. Like most, people tend to only read a snippet of a comment without the whole context and setting. With that being said.... Conan O'Brian is too funny! Still think his Thor stuff was the best.

read what rush actually said (before he back tracked and despite what he said about the democrats using it). he clearly stays that it is "no coincidence". what is there to misinterpret. he's a fat, cackling clown.

He said it so it matters.
That was kinda funny.

@brobinson The argument that liberals "take him seriously" in any situation makes me laugh. In any case, here's a link to a website with his full talk that you consider to be out of context:

@JoeMomma29 I love when agreement is shown online, for it is rare.

He meant it which matters most.

JoeMomma29 - 7/19/2012, 7:39 PM
The point we all need to agree on is Rush was an idiot for entertaining this thought even though it was not his to start with. It is just foolish thinking he ran with infact was is so funny is he made it sound like he discovered this theory! Awwww Rush go take some pain killers and keep that fat mouth shut!

Actually, the conspiracy theories have it backwards. Bane, the character was invented in 1994, before Bain the company. What really happened was, Romney named his company after the character Bane, to reflect their goal to conquer the world by any means necessary. He reed gonna use Joke, but didn't want to be confused with the ruling paper company.

If bashing conservatives is wrong, why does it feel so right?

STOOPUDR - 7/19/2012, 8:03 PM
Rolling not ruling. Damn auto correct. I am suprised Rush didn't use that excuse.

@Farkosaurus- Yeah and for a group that seem to defend free-speech, I find it funny that most liberal media tend to censor or blatantly ignore facts and words directed towards them. As you have just simply demonstrated

Again, for the record I'd stay away from any political articles (lest my silence be misconstrued for a hypocrisy).
STOOPUDR
STOOPUDR - 7/19/2012, 8:37 PM
LP4, who has said anything about censoring comments? Nobody wants to censor Limbaugh, then we would have less to laugh at. He had every right to say stupid crap, and we have every right to call him on it. Freedom of speech goes both ways. It does not protect from ridicule for stupidity.

Bane's voice in this clip sounds too rough and raspy.

Bane would speak anti-Romney garbage.

Why make fun of Limbaugh over prescriptions? Uh. President Obama did coke & marijuana.

@Gambit89- No, I am certainly not a limbaugh fan, personally I think he's annoying.

But this article is misleading. It wasn't limbaugh's conspiracy is my point.

@rokker- Funny

@Tainted87- I would take it "EZ" if people here were more well-informed before making eroneous articles spreading lies
LP4
LP4 - 7/19/2012, 10:48 PM
The fact that it really wasn't limbaugh's conspiracy and it was proven to NOT be his. Yet people still post articles saying it was his conspiracy is what bugs me. It is a lie.

Me personally- not a limbaugh fan. Refer to my original remarks in nailbiter's article about this very same topic and you will all see. I'm just tired of liberals having a field day attacking conservatives by blaming them for something the LIBERALS created
