    Mitt Romney’s “Bane/Bain” problem with the new Batman movie

    This topic is really about the media's focus on Limbaugh making fun of this, and their almost total ignorance of how liberals first brought it up. As usual, Limbaugh reports and makes fun of something, and then gets blamed as if he was the one who first said it. Much like the Barack the Magic Negro song.

    July 2 - Romney plans trip to Israel as Bain problem hits the big screen - Video on NBCNews.com

    Limbaugh didnt mention it till July 16.

    Re: Mitt Romney’s “Bane/Bain” problem with the new Batman movie

    The drive time DJ on my local talk radio show was into this this morning and as far as I'm concerned it's a total nothingburger.

    Obama had his picture merged with that of the Joker a while back so it isn't totally unexpected that the Bane/Bain comparison would be made.

    Of course the Obama/Joker was far more creative where this just kind of comes off as a desperate whine.

    People who don't listen to Rush on a regular basis have no idea what he is talking about most of the time.

    Rush is plain and simple "Free Market"; nothing wrong with that as he isn't subtle about it.
    I may disagree with some of his supposedly finer points on the subject as well as his collective bias towards poor people (he doesn't care how they got that way) but he caters to his audience.

    Some people don't like his sarcasm.
    I love sarcasm.
    I can listen to anything he says that doesn't deal directly with how the market will work it out.

    I always find it strange that only reasonable people agree with me.

    The keyword is "listening", not simply tuning in your radio.
    I had a conversation yesterday with the guy who loves Rush and I asked him what Rush spoke about?
    He started telling me Rush spoke about the Free Market, the Free Market and the Free Market.
    I asked about context and he started telling me Rush spoke about the Free Market, the Free Market and the Free Market.

    Yo guy, tell me again why I should have listened to Rush today?
    But REALLY listen and REALLY tell me.

    Re: Mitt Romney’s “Bane/Bain” problem with the new Batman movie

    A lady called into Rush today and said she told her boyfriend she wouldn't listen to Rush because he was a bigoted blowhard, or something to that effect. Her boyfriend asked her is she ever listened to him and she said no, that is just what she had read about him. Her boyfriend asked her to listen for a while and she got hooked. She found out that what libs say about him is not at all true.

    The secret IS to listen for yourself and not take anyone else's word for granted.

    There is a reason I DO NOT listen to Lush. He makes wild ass statements like this which is stupid.

    Meaningless schoolyard drivel.

    You have to appreciate irony and sarcasm if you listen to Rush. He makes information sharing entertaining for me. He says wildly outrageous things at times just to get a rise out of libs. He also makes comments that you can totally misinterpret if you don't listen on a regular basis and put the comments in context.

    The frequency on which he makes this disclaimer varies on the political climate.
    Under GW he was in the following order...
    "I am and always WILL be..."
    [1] A Republican
    [2] A Conservative
    [3] An Entertainer

    Under Obama he is in the following order...
    "I am and always WILL be..."
    [1] A Conservative
    [2] A Republican
    [3] An Entertainer

    And then once every six month or so he will remind his audience that his job is to entertain and generate revenue for his sponsor.
    He's safe, because the overwhelming number of his listener "tune-in" but don't actually "listen".

    These are his statements and I was one of the few who noticed his hypocrisy and tuned him out.
