Stupid Republican idea of the day

Rush Limbaugh: New Batman movie is anti-Romney propaganda

How can the Republicans hope to win out over (what they think are) Democrats smart enough to plant a foreigner in America as a baby knowing that someday he would become POTUS?

And now they think Democrats are smart enough to start this by having a guy create a comic book character in 1993 with a name that sounds like their POTUS nominee?

How can they possibly think that Democrats are idiots, but they are smart enough and prescient enough to do things with 20 or 40 or 50 years that plant seeds to be harvested decades down the road?

:smack:

Actually, upon further consideration Rush and the Republicans are just getting out in front of the obvious Bain/Bane jokes so that they can say “See? We told you they’d try to conflate the two!” Which is a smart idea disguised as a stupid one.

Which might have worked… except that Rush apparently stole the joke from the previous night’s episode of the Daily Show.

Well, the Dems have obviously learned their lesson from Batman, they’ll win if they’re prepared.

I’ll go out on a limb and assume that a right-wing publication was responsible for this story.

I’d quote the whole thing - it’s very short - but apart from board rules against it I’d hate to ruin the punchline for you.

Do have a click - you’ll enjoy it.

Considering the site (apparently retroactively to clarify, since the main title is still the same) added “conservative” before “blogger” to the quote and the page name, I’d say it’s a safe assumption.

Heh - it was actually “reporter” (as per my quote, which was a C&P from the article as was) before becoming “conservative blogger”.

And another would-be Breitbart goes down in – well, “flames” is rather too grand for this sort of idiot-level screwup, innit? More like stepping in dogpoo and not realizing it till you’re trying to crash the party.

To be fair, they could have been engaging in a diabolical plot to detract from Bill Bain’s presidential run and were ousted in that attempt by his not engaging directly in politics.

Oh and I engaged in a bit of childish nonsense for ten seconds in MSPaint…

Why not put us into liquidation?
Your punishment must be more severe…

As far as I can divine from the Dark Knight Rises ads though, it seems to be a polemic against polemic uprisings and the necessity of charismatic magnanimous entrepreneurs for society. Lordy knows there are no objectivists in comics. Wonder how Rush would respond to a well written Green Arrow film?

Because we are that good! :smiley:

Dear Republicans,

You know what, I’ll level with you. The birth certificate IS fake. Obama was grown in a vat not more than 10 years ago through cloning processes derived from aborted fetus stem cells. We went back in time to plant the newspaper birth announcement. Everyone in Kenya got paid off with taxpayer funds to hush up about his real birthplace (wait, didn’t I just say he was grown in a vat? That’s how good we are, Obama is a natural born Kenyan AND a 10 year old clone).

Don’t fuck with us. Now that you know this, you know how powerful we are and the lengths we’ll go to in order to keep him in office. Rush serves as a good reminder of how stupid conservatives are, but he can easily be aborted by using our time machine.

Let’s be reasonable. We’re smart enough and ruthless enough to do all of this, plus remove all traces of WMD from Iraq right under Bush’s nose. You WANT people this brilliant to run the country. You know we are just that damn good. So don’t fight it. We’ll acknowledge all of this in Obama’s presidential memoirs because by the time he’s done being president, we’ll have Universal Health Care, welfare mothers will be all given Cadillacs, and NPR and CNN will team up to form a 24 hour porn channel of miscegenous sex in order to eliminate the white race through abortions and race mixing. Then you guys can have the country back, we’ll have accomplished our ultimate goal. Until then, don’t make us use the time machine to kill Reagan. Infecting him with Alzheimers was hard enough, don’t make that effort worthless

Thanks,

The idea underneath a secret conspiracy is that it remain secret. Nice work. You will be eaten first!

I chuckled.

Things like this undermine the institution of marriage as is properly understood, being the legal merger of two people who cannot stand one another.

She should have strung him along for a while instead of being gracious, you know, just for fun.

It just gets better and better:

So… it’s a computer-generated forgery with pencil annotations used to enter the information into the computer? :confused:

(Of course, it’s not hard to crack the sooper sekrit code Arpaio is seeing on Obama’s birth certificate: “N1993R”)

What country was Giuseppe Arpaio born in? And can we send him back there? Wikipedia says Massachusetts, but I hear it’s “unreliable.”

Note that it’s actually a plea for 4% economic growth. How do they hope to get there?

A consumption tax? Targeted immigration? You’re going to get 4% growth from those things? Tell me about your chocolate and booze weight-loss diet!

Massachusetts is sometimes unreliable, what with electing Romney and all.

Avoid them. A strict diet of brown rice, tofu, and raw vegetables will guarantee you lose weight. And the will to live.
