"Do You Think That It Is Accidental" The Villain Is Called "Bane"?
From the July 17 edition of Premiere Radio Networks' The Rush Limbaugh Show:
RUSH LIMBAUGH: Have you heard, this new movie, the Batman movie -- what is it, the Dark Knight Lights Up or something? Whatever the name of it 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. 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?
[...]
LIMBAUGH: Anyway, so this evil villain in the new Batman movie is named Bane. And there's now 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. This movie, the audience is going to be huge, 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 are going to associate Bain. And 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, not Bain Capital, but 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 will work. There are some people think it will work. Others think -- "You're really underestimating the American people who think that will work."

Okay then.
Also, if your company is synonymous with a word that means "scourge", that's not an authors problem that you named youself to sound like a super villain.
And apropos of nothing, I'm still pissed that movie Bane is no longer Mexican :|
Loser

1. Fatal injury or ruin: "Hath some fond lover tic'd thee to thy bane?" (George Herbert).
2a. A cause of harm, ruin, or death: "Obedience,/Bane of all genius, virtue, freedom, truth,/Makes slaves of men" (Percy Bysshe Shelley).
b. A source of persistent annoyance or exasperation: "The spellings of foreign names are often the bane of busy copy editors" (Norm Goldstein).
3. A deadly poison.
If we didn't know it already, this guy's a fucking mug.
You are a paranoid idiot and a douchebag. Please stop talking. The world need a lot less noxious fumes.
No love,
Nita

^ Actual gif of my actual reaction to this post.
And how is he still able to spew his hateful, ignorant, idiotic bile on air? Didn't his advertisers abandon him the last time he sprouted his misogynistic rage against Sandra Fluke?

...But...if the movie's been in production a long time, they couldn't have known that Romney would be the candidate...and...logic...centre...short
*head asplode*
Seriously, it's fascinating how Rush and others of his ilk can take something that would logically not support their point at all and twist it in a pretzel so it does.
ETA: Sorry, that last sentence should be "so it does, in some right-wing alternate reality." As...no, that still doesn't prove his point, no matter how you squint.
