I don’t think “Operation Chaos” was a good idea on many levels. However, I think the thing that sank both Rush and Hillary was the fact that Obama - or, at any rate, the people manipulating the Obama sock puppet - had been organizing for a long, long time, and neither Rush nor Hillary was aware of or prepared for this.

Actually, this has been discussed here before.

AFAIK there’s no actual evidence that significant crossover registration occurred - the test would be to examine registration numbers in open primary states where there was not a strongly contested Republican primary, before and after operation CHAOS, and see if he could discern a consistent difference. But even then as complicated multiple factors were in play it would be hard to determine for certain that cause of any differences.

For what it’s worth, my guess is 1) that this was almost exclusively an intramural affair between the Democratic candidates and that CHAOS made little difference one way or the other and 2) on general principles it’s probably a good idea to avoid such efforts unless you can be reasonably certain of their outcome.

[Obama sock puppet - had been organizing for a long, long time]

I agree - this is exactly the communist/socialist training in gear. This is what they do from the “ground-up” - organize.

As long as the people in the US stay tuned to the MSM - and continued to get spooned fed - then the Democrats will continue to win elections. It’s not that they have to say anything important - the news will always blackmail and smear the competition!

This is how communism works - take your enemy out within the perspective of the public - then after they lose their credibility - they can easily be wasted behind closed doors.

It’s websites like FR that keep the rest of us informed - and it is here that we must build in numbers by convincing people to turn off their TV’s and start to think for themselves once more!
