HIGH POINT/RALEIGH, NC -- These days, Hillary Clinton is all the rage among conservatives.
Rush Limbaugh's "Operation Chaos" -- an attempt to convince his Republican listeners to cross over and vote for Clinton in the Democratic primaries -- continues. Last week, Bill O'Reilly turned his "No Spin Zone" into a two-day infomercial for Clinton, featuring an adoring interview in which he lobbed one Katie Couric-style softball after another at his home state Senator.
Conservatives have found common cause with the Clinton machine in seeking to bring Barack Obama down to earth.

Operation Chaos is playing with fire. We will be burned big time by Clinton if we succeed in getting her nominated. Obama is our last hope of keeping her out of the Oval Office. Let him take her out once and for all in the Dem primaries. We can deal with him later.
Obama can easily be beaten in the Generals. Hllary will walk all over McCain, and McCain will let her.
If McCain looses this election. It will be his fault.
If you live in Ind. or NC )or any other state yet to vote) and are thinking about crossing over to vote for Clinton, please DO NOT do it. We can not let her get even closer to a chance at the White House.
Remarkable but true. The grim prospect of Hillary is superior to the junior straw dog senator from Illinois.
Yes. He will make it easy for Clinton to win.
Obama has also made it easy for his opponents (both Hillary and McCain) to win. He (Obama) is on the road to self-destruction, and he is getting weaker by the day. People are starting to take a second look at him, and they don't like what they see. All it will take is the defection of a few delegates, and the Dem nomination is Hillary's. Obama could be gone by the end of the summer.
A McCain and Obama contest would be between two weak candidates. That's the only type of opponent McCain can beat.
If you put McCain up against Hillary, she will win. She is tenacious, young(er), and toughened by recent contests. By then she will have the MSM machine firmly behind her.
Why risk it?
Let Obama take Hillary out first, and the rest of the Dem party with him in November.
Never forget that if McCain loses this election, it will be his fault...IMO McCain has as much of a chance against Hill as BHO. To win, McCain will have to keep his foot out of hibig mouth and that is unlikely.
There's a lot more at stake than the White House.
President Bush certainly "Upgraded the Court" to the stature intended but there's more to be done.
Hillary's Living Document theory is dangerous. Obama's brain is scrambled. Dangerous Times. God Protect Us.
“Don’t Stop Worrying About the Clintons”
Didn’t Fleetwood Mac make a song with that title?
I believe that Chaos is the correct action. Hillary has too much baggage to win the presidential race. Note that the writer, who doesn’t like O. Chaos, was critical of her fantasy promises during her last speech. He obviously doesn’t think much of Clinton either, just like the majority of voters. Ergo, get Hillary nominated and the Repub 527s will destroy her.
Obama will go down in flames just as soon as some brave guy in the MSM closely question him about BLT and reparations. In a TV appearance, Meet the Press, I think, Obama clearly stated that his deep loyalty was to the church and not Rev Wright. I believe that statement boxes him in to being an advocate of BLT and reparations. But someone has to publically pin him down, and it ought to be done before the primary. Maybe someone’s holding it back with the intention of springing it at the most opportune time. (?)
I agree...the damage to Obamalamadingdong is done. He is not so “messianic” a figure as he was portrayed: he is just a mess.
Lots of good issues to hit him with now and he is a weak fighter in the clinches.
So by all means let him be the nominee and send the Clintoons back to Chappaqua.
If there was no Operation Chaos, Obama would have sailed to victory. Hillary is killing him. McCain is just not strong enough to take on Hillary. We needed Hillary to kill Obama but not who will take care of Hillary?
Perfectly stated
—I thought of that as the key statement in the whole article—
It’s The Nation, a communist rag. The article is about Hillary using racism to win. Demonrat on Demonrat.
I saw Hillary on a TV program yesterday discussing her gas tax holiday proposal. In a five - six minute discussion, she said that she would “take on the big oil companies.” It was every other sentence out of her mouth - “...take on big oil, ...fight the big oil companies, ...tax big oil’s profits, etc.” I counted at least six references to “big oil.” One might get the impression that “big oil” is her opponent in the election. She is so annoying.
IMHO, Op Chaos is genius.
Both Hillary and Obama have an equal chance of defeating McCain - and because of Op Chaos, those odds are now 50-50 at best, where they were at one time both shoe-ins to defeat McCain.
The point is that it doesn’t matter who the nominee is. But what Op Chaos guarantees is that whomever is left standing after the battle OC will push them to, the one left standing will be a bloody mess almost irreparably damaged by the other candidate.
In addition to that, the losing candidate’s supporters will grow to loathe the winning candidate as the process lingers and the fight becomes dirtier. ESPECIALLY if Hillary wins.
Obama’s supporters tend to be younger and loonier; hardened in their messianic attachment to their candidate. Many will find it easier and more fulfilling to teach Hillary a lesson, or simply lose interest and stay home.
So Rush is right. It’s up to McCain, in the end, to defeat the beaten and bruised nominee Denver will produce. Without Op Chaos (and the Hillary attack machine that Op Chaos allowed to do its work) Dems of all stripes would have been coalescing behind Obama long ago, and McCain would be trailing by ten.
And the longer Hillary can stay in it, the more beaten up by the MSM (who is long in the tank for Barry) she will be.
Have to admit that I was a foot soldier in Operation Chaos here in Pennsylvania who voted for the beast. However it is becoming clear to me that the false prophet is the weaker of the two in the general. Think that what has happened in the rat primary has been a plus for republicans. How can it not be good when your opponents beat up on each other? I’m convinced that there is no way that Hussein does not get the nomination if for no other reason than the fact that it will be said by his core supporters that it was stolen from him. He will go into the general a weakened candidate and the beast will be put out to pasture.
