Rush: “Ladies and gentlemen, I want to start the hour here by restating the origins of Operation Chaos and the goal, because I am continuing to receive mail, e-mail from people, you, who listen in this audience, who are getting panicked and paranoid that Mrs. Clinton is going to end up winning this whole thing and that it will be my fault and that if that happens, you are never, ever, going to listen to this program again.”
“Former US president Bill Clinton said he would back his wife Hillary if she became secretary of state but has even bigger political hopes for their daughter Chelsea.”
Of course it is only speculation, but it appears that Hillary’s strong showing in the latter primaries bought here leverage with the Obama administration. Even if Rush wasn’t as successful in “Operation Chaos” as he crowed, he still could have tipped some of the critical primaries in the Hildabeast’s direction. In doing so he allowed Hillary to, not only maintain her future presidential viability, but to enhance it by building a foreign policy resume. This will allow Bill to continue to launder bribes from America’s enemies and funnel half of them to Her Thighness’ 2016 campaign, and prep for the run of Web Hubbel’s daughter, Chelsea, in 2020.
Rush was too cute with his “Operation Chaos”. We will pay and he will get richer. I thought he was against redistribution of wealth.
Limbaugh did not run McCain’s campaign...Limbaugh was not the guy talking about walking across the aisle....
Out of operation chaos things came out like jeremiah wright,bill ayers and what not...
Limbaugh wasn’t the guy who couldn’t out maneuver obama in a debate
If there is any blame it certainly isn’t limbaugh’s
I agree.
I voted for Hillary in the Indiana primary which she won.
Obama is a far more dangerous foe than Hillary.
We just don’t know yet where all his money came from.
He didn't want her to win the nomination.
He just wanted to stir the pot.
He's just an entertainer. He makes politics a lot more fun! If he were a political operative, the FCC would shut him down.
Of course. Can you imagine him calling Hillary Clinton on the phone and saying to her "This is what we want you to do."? It's laughable. But no matter, the whole point to her taking the SoS role is to replace Biden in 2012 and then run in her own right in 2016.
I am not blaming Rush for McCain losing, but for helping Hillary stay so close as to empower her.
Amen brother. When you have a stake over a vampire's heart, you don't stop for a coffee break!
First, her job won't end in 4 years- Condoleeza's didn't. Second, had he destroyed her in PA, Texas, and other big states, she would have had no power over him.
Remember, the PUMA vote never materialized. It was a bluff to get state. It worked.
Not to my knowledge
I have found quotes of him bragging about how well it was working though. I'm not saying that Rush lost it for McCain, just that he could have helped to swing a couple of key states and kept Hillary in the race thereby giving her power--power she used to get state.
Then try a review of Article I, Section 6 of the Constitution:
“No Senator or Representative shall, during the Time for which he was elected, be appointed to any civil Office under the Authority of the United States which shall have been created, or the Emoluments whereof shall have been increased during such time”
Hillary voted to increase funding of the State Department. She cannot be SOS.
Entertainer is the usual moniker that the left uses to describe Rush. As far as what he wanted or didn’t want, the pot wasn’t stirred that much. 0bama still won the nomination. And Rush only advocated that his listeners vote for Hillary in the primaries. If he was truly trying to stir the pot, he would have advocated that his listeners also vote for 0bama on several occasions, but he didn’t.
They already have a way around it
What an intelligent response! (Not). I’m sure I can count on you to be one of my listeners.
You seem to know everything, and especially what other people are doing wrong.
Surely you could do such a trivial thing as become a talk show host and leader of the free world.
Get back on your meds. You’re truly flipping out. Sounds like you can’t hold an intelligent discussion.
As he has readily admitted. Why some folks ignore this is beyond me.
Sounds like you're one of those people who blames everybody else for your problems.
If it matches Papa Webb, how does that help—you have no proof of the source and chain-of-custody of the samples.
All you’d potentially gain is exposure to Arkancide, whether through litigious or physical channels.
Has that musty old document been restored to effectiveness? Since when?
