I\u2019m doing show prep.  And I get a text message from Kathryn who\u2019s in with the dogs in the kitchen.  She says, &#8220;Are you in this Batman movie and you didn\u2019t tell me?  Is this Batman movie about you?&#8221;  I said, &#8220;What now?&#8221;  She says, &#8220;I can\u2019t go anywhere without reading about you and this Batman movie.&#8221;  And I finally, in that moment, folks, I finally figured out what\u2019s going on.  <a href=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/?p=15105\">I outed them.<\/a>  Forget the creator. I don\u2019t care that the creator created the character Bane in the Batman movie back in the \u201990s.  It doesn\u2019t matter.  The Democrats clearly were going to try to link this villain to Mitt Romney.  And I outed \u2019em.  They\u2019ve even got a couple Democrats admitting they were gonna, Chris Leheinous and Jon Stewart.  And they\u2019re still trying to do it. <\/p>\n<p>You know, independently of the producers and the actors and all the people associated with the movie, they saw it, they were gonna try to make the linkage, and now I\u2019m out there basically accusing them of that, so they\u2019ve got their backs up.  They\u2019re acting like I\u2019m some sort of conspiracy creep.  But I outed \u2019em.  I have shined the light of truth, as it were.<\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Think about how frail your position must be if you really (and don\u2019t doubt me on this) think that you can score political points by associating a villain in a movie to an American human being running for office. If you really think you can do that, if you think you must do that, where are you? How pathetic is your current situation if that is a campaign strategery, trying to link a movie villain to a candidate? And don\u2019t fall for it. They were going to do it.  They\u2019re still gonna do it.  Letterman is already doing it.<\/p>\n<p>Jon Stewart\u2019s gonna do it. Chris Lehane is doing it. They\u2019re already trying to do it.  The problem is I outed \u2019em, and because I outed something they were really going to do, they\u2019re now doing what they always and predictably do: They\u2019re trying to make me look like an idiot.  A tinfoil-hat conspiracy kook. When all I am is Rush Revere warning you in advance, &#8220;The Liberals Are Coming!&#8221; I see them hit the trail before you do.  And what you\u2019re gonna have to do is, if you don\u2019t admit it yet, you\u2019re gonna have to start admitting it. <\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m always right about it. <\/p>\n<p>Four years ago I said, &#8220;I hope he fails.&#8221; I didn\u2019t want any of this.  I knew we had a guy who didn\u2019t like this country.  I knew we had a guy that had a chip on his shoulder about this country.  I knew we had a guy who didn\u2019t respect the American capitalist system.  I knew it! (New Castrati impression) &#8220;How did you know it, Mr. Limbaugh? How can you know it when nobody else did?&#8221; Everybody could have known it!  All you have to do is understand liberalism.  You don\u2019t even need a high school diploma to understand this.  It\u2019s that easy!<\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"585\" height=\"325\" src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/g8evyE9TuYk?rel=0\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>RUSH: I\u2019m not hearing much about Bain. And now they\u2019re fit to be tied because I said that they were gonna try to link the Batman villain &#8220;Bane&#8221; to Mitt Romney &#8220;Bain.&#8221; They\u2019re fit to be tied. Do you believe it\u2019s two days they\u2019ve spent on that? Kathryn asked me last night, &#8220;Are you in this movie and you didn\u2019t tell me?&#8221; Is this movie&#8230;? By the way, for you movie producers, look at this! I\u2019m not even in a movie, and look at how much publicity you\u2019re getting about it. Imagine what would happen if you put me in a movie!<\/p>\n<p>This Batman flick, I\u2019m sure it was eagerly anticipated and it was gonna have a big audience. But it\u2019s being talked about in places it wasn\u2019t gonna be talked about. It\u2019s now got controversy attached to it. And the bottom line is that when people watch this, when they go see it&#8230; Remember we talked about the first Dark Knight movie? <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/online.wsj.com\/article\/SB121694247343482821.html\">Andrew Klavan wrote a piece<\/a> in the Wall Street Journal (I quoted from it extensively) in which he made the point that the Batman&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Well, the Dark Knight movie, the one with Heath Ledger as the Joker. That movie, without being braggadociosly up front about it, was all about the triumph of conservative values. Evil gets beat, good guys win, and people doing the right thing triumph. And Klavan made that point. And I spent a lot of time talking about that. And this movie is the same way. If you want to make a political connection, if Romney\u2019s anybody in this movie, he\u2019s Bruce Wayne. He\u2019s the rich guy.<\/p>\n<p>Bruce Wayne has put the costume away. In the movie he\u2019s gone away. He\u2019s tired of being Batman. He\u2019s down on his luck. He\u2019s a little depressed. He\u2019s still got the butler around, but he\u2019s not too happy. And then some new villain comes out; claims he\u2019s going to take over Gotham and gonna destroy everybody. Batman puts the uniform back on, goes into high gear and saves the day. And he\u2019s the rich Bruce Wayne. He\u2019s the rich guy, milquetoast, boring, dull.<\/p>\n<p>The same way they characterize Romney, that\u2019s the good guy in the movie. The attempt to make Romney into the villain isn\u2019t gonna work. It\u2019s the exact opposite. In fact, the producer &#8212; or the creator, Chuck Dixon &#8212; says that the villain in this movie is almost&#8230; I forget his exact words, but he links the villain in this movie to Occupy Wall Street. And yet the Democrats are out there trying to say Bane is Bain. I think this exposes the frailty of their position. They\u2019re trying (and I outed \u2019em) to link this villain to Bain Capital, and they\u2019ve given up on <a view=\"line\" href=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/?p=15133\">&#8220;Romney is a felon.&#8221; <\/a>They moved on from that.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: So I\u2019m in the library last night, and I\u2019m doing what I always do.
