Rush Limbaugh, between crowing about the success and attention of his "Operation Chaos," switched sides in the Democratic primary this morning.
"I now urge the Democratic superdelegates to go publicly make your mind up for Obama," he said.
Earlier, he said, "I'm now tempted to tell superdelegates to pick Obama because I now believe he would be the weakest nominee."
Limbaugh had been urging his listeners to support Hillary as the only chance for Republican victory in November, and to extend the Democratic primary. Exit polls and anecdotes suggest that many did.
Not sure there are really a lot of dittoheads among the superdelegates, however.
Also, he took an obligatory shot at McGovern, who just called on Clinton to drop out.
"Mcgovern in his lifetime wants to see someone lose worse than he did," he said.
LoL!
If nothing else, continuing will financially hurt her.
ATTABOY RUSH!
ROTFLOL!!! Rush nailed it.
guess politico does not get what Operation Chaos is all about...
Rush is truly having more fun than should be allowed.
Oh, for just one super-delegate with a sense of humor...
Right now, Rush is complaining about how the RAT voters in MI and FL are being “disenfranchised”. It’s gotten to the point where Limbaugh is parroting Clinton talking points, ranting on about the voting rights act and all. After the last two days, I have deep suspiscion that Rush Limbaugh is trying to get Hillary Clinton elected President.
You really think Rush wants Hillary to WIN?
More like reverse-reverse-psychology.
Mcgovern in his lifetime wants to see someone lose worse than he did
This is too funny. Operation CHAOS worked as well as could be hoped. At this point, Obama does look like the weaker candidate. As the media calls for Hillary to drop out, she will quietly win primary after primary, so this is a good time to try to finish her off.
From Drudge:
CONGRESSIONAL SOURCE: Hillary having trouble finding superdelegates who will meet with her... ‘No one wants to see her today’... Developing...
“I have deep suspiscion that Rush Limbaugh is trying to get Hillary Clinton elected President.”
You need to take a break from “Operation Chaos”. Limbaugh is simply having too much fun.
The more successful Rush is with this campaign the more effort the Democrats will put in to shutting him up. Expect a big push for the ‘Fairness Doctrine’ in the next year.
“guess politico does not get what Operation Chaos is all about”
I think your guess is correct. they should actually listen to the show.
Obama is not the weaker candiate. Though some of the bloom is off the rose, he has withstood the Wright affair in fairly good shape and there is a long time before the election. I predicted here that he would easily beat McCain and I see no reason to retract that prediction. IMHO, it is all down-hill for McCain (who got an artificial bump) from now on.
LOL! McGovern had better resign himself to the fact he is and will most likely remain the all time loser!
Is this stuff really going over your head????
But there are those who insist on taking Rush seriously.
“Not sure there are really a lot of dittoheads among the superdelegates, however.”
Not only that but many probably hate him. Rush is playing with their minds. He wants them so messed up there will be no decision before the convention. If there is no winner after the first ballo at the convention...what happens then?? Are the delegates released after the first ballot??
LOL, as he should. Keeping the in-fighting in the Dem Party is quite entertaining.
Rush will love to eat Hillary's carcass. Its like shooting fish in a barrel especially with the idiot husband she has strapped herself with. He is a political moron. Steals and gets caught grabs some stray stuff and gets caught. Hillary will be a home run for the the Rhinos.
The man with the cigar is nobody's fool understand that. I may not agree with everything he says or does but this time Operation Chaos is a huge home run for McCain. He has single handily kept the demoncrats at there throats for so long its funny.
The jackasses wanted a long primary to attempt to disenfranchise Pres Bush now there stupidity is coming back to kill them big time.
Listen observe and remember.

He doesn’t sound like he’s having much fun today.
“It is total chaos in the Democrat Party!”
- Rush Limbaugh -
No, no, all Limbaugh is doing is stirring the pot even more. By advocating the seating of the MI. and FLA delegates, most of which go to Hillary, he will rile up the blacks to levels from which they will not soon recover. It has the added benefit of holding the entire Democrat party up for ridicule because they aren't following their own rules. Remember they voted on NOT counting these delegates because they ran their primaries early and Hillary was right there voting to not have them counted.
It's hard to say if Limbaugh is driving OC or just playing of it, not that it matters. It has accomplished it's stated purpose and has taken on a life of it's own.
It is all ploy. Rusk knows what problems that a Hillary nomination would cause.
“Not sure there are really a lot of dittoheads among the superdelegates, however.”
Rush has had callers who ARE delegates though and unsure about going to the national convention...
Thanks geo. Rush’s long-anticipated endgame move kinda pulls the rug on the fun. The Demwits still have a few months now to straighten things out in private meetings, calls, and text messages prior to the convention.
Rush seems to have been quiet lately about his contention that the Dems crossed lines during the Repub primaries and "gave" us McCain. It would be nice to hear about the "boiler room orders" from the Dem side when McCain was running in the primaries. Turnabout is more than fair play, I guess.
This may be the first time in American history where the Dems picked BOTH Presidential candidates!
I used to be a loyal Rush listener, I'll never listen to him again.
Even McCain would try to clamp down on talk radio.
There is no suspicion. It's a fact. Rush thinks the beast would be good for ratings, never mind she'd destroy the country.
Come on, be honest with us. You've thought that for 2 MONTHS, not two days.
“Right now, Rush is complaining about how the RAT voters in MI and FL are being “disenfranchised”.

It’s called sarcasm.
Are you really that clueless?
There is no where on the map that Obama can make up those loses.
Rush knows this, which is why he wants McCain to face the filthy banshee.
Along with the Weekly Standard crowd, Rush prefers Hillary because he thinks she is better on foreign policy.
It must be going right over my head. Rush announced with glee that “former Redskin quarterback” and “conservative Democrat” Heath Shuler (D-NC) pledged his superdelegate vote for Hillary. It just spooked me. This didn’t sound like someone having fun with it, it sounded like someone who is an activist supporter of a candidate.
“He doesn’t sound like he’s having much fun today.”
He’s a great actor. For a moment I was feeling some sympathy for Hillary earlier in the broadcast.
Wanna bet? I’ll put 100 dollars down that Obama will win.
NOOO! It’s super secret double reverse pyschology.
NO. I think he honestly believes Obama is the weaker candidate.-
My guess is that will happen this year and to keep things uniform the person who loses that big will also have Mc in his name. Hope I'm wrong, but that's my feeling.
However, I just heard him say again Op Chaos was never and isn't about picking a nominee; it's about helping the Dems beat each other up all the way to the convention floor.
The longer this lasts, the more divided the Dem party gets and no matter who becomes the candidate, they won't have enough time to heal and unite the party. Many black voters have said they will "sit this one out" of even vote for McCain if Barry is snubbed. If Barry wins, many current Hillary supporters will go McCain.
If the Dems crossed lines in the Rep primaries to vote in McCain, then Operation Chaos is the countervailing strategery.
Besides that, it's FUN to watch! Those who will "never listen to Rush again" are missing some GREAT entertainment!
Trust me. It is going a mile over your head. I must admit...while it’s fun watching Rush tweak liberals, it’s almost as fun watching the “conservatives” who just don’t get it.
“You really think Rush wants Hillary to WIN?”
He wants anybody BUT McCain....
