There is debatable evidence that right-wing radio and TV commentator Rush Limbaugh's "Operation Chaos" resulted in Sen. Hillary Clinton's narrow victory in Indiana's Democratic primary on Tuesday.
Operation Chaos is Limbaugh's effort to encourage Republican voters to reregister as Democrats or cross over in primaries that permit it, like Indiana's. A vote for Clinton, in Limbaugh's master plan, assures an extended Democratic primary, weakening the eventual nominee.
Of course, the egocentric bloviator is taking full credit for Clinton's win by only 14,000 votes in the Hoosier State. Limbaugh has a knack for taking credit for everything he promotes.
Imagine if the Democrats were conducting such an effort against the Republicans. You can almost hear the cries of "foul play" and worse from Limbaugh and his followers. He would go into hysterics.
Limbaugh craves attention. He got it with a front-page mention on his plan in May 8's Washington Post. He'll be crowing about it for days.
Limbaugh has built a huge audience of true believers. His listeners and viewers love hearing him ridicule and excoriate Democrats and even, now and then, Sen. John McCain.
Limbaugh delights in crushing people. He can dish it out, so let's see if he can take it.
When Mary Mapes, Dan Rather's producer at CBS, was fired over the controversial story of George W. Bush's draft status, Limbaugh ripped into her journalistic ethics. Mapes appeared at a seminar at Middle Tennessee University a few years ago and was asked about his charge.
"I don't need to be lectured on ethics by an obese, thrice-married drug addict,' she said to applause. The latter point was a reference to Limbaugh's problems with pain medication.
As for Limbaugh, he'll probably like this mention of him and his antics, even when it calls for undermining the ballot box.
Nope, not a hint of left wing bias here...........
I didn’t realize that lefties could be bitter too.../s
"We matter! We matter! I SAID WE MATTER!"
As clear an evidence as you will ever see that Rush is destroying the democrats!
Let’s complain now that there is no difference between the parties. Oh, yes, about the ethics of the RATS too!
They DID - with McCain...
Mary Mapes you are a nobody loser and Rush is at the top of his game for over 20 years. ENUFF SAID....
Sorry. Am I missing something? Other than the ad hominem, attacks which are bogus, what is wrong with Operation Chaos?
Nice objective “US News and World Report.”
.
Some cheese with that whine?
Some cheese with that whine?
He did. If memory serves Rush was all up in arms about independents and cross-over voters being responsible for McCain being the Republican nominee. Well, turn about is fair play.
Jealousy rocks. ;-)
Once again, they can't refute what Limbaugh asserts, so they resort to personal attack and call him names. And the morons in the audience confirm their lack of intelligence by applauding!
Truly an astounding display.
“Nope, not a hint of left wing bias here...........”
There’s plenty of “conservative” crybabies who have been saying exactly the same thing. Most of the Salem Radio crew, who take themselves Very Seriously. They resent Limbaugh making a mockery of that holy of holies, a primary election.
>> Limbaugh craves attention.
Wow! Just like you, Mashek.
Unfortunately for you, Mashek, that’s where the similarities end, because...
>> Limbaugh has built a huge audience of true believers.
... unlike YOU, driveby clown.
Controversial story???? You made up fake documents to take down a president during an election!
I love the fact that Rush is getting under the skin of the MSM. They can hardly contain themselves. I wonder what he will come up with next? LOL
