Matthews: Shame on All Who Took Part in Rush's 'Operation Chaos.'

Rush Limbaugh's "Operation Chaos," the effort to urge conservatives and Republicans to vote for Hillary Clinton in order to prolong the Democratic nomination battle, certainly annoys MSNBC's Chris Matthews who, during primary coverage Tuesday night, denounced the "mischief-making" by "a talk jock." In the 11:30 PM EDT half hour, Matthews offered a "Keith [Olbermann]-style special comment" about how "anyone who voted to screw up the political system of this country with the purpose of mischief should carry that with them the rest their lives." He called it "a ridiculous way to use the vote for which people fought and died," sarcastically remarking: "I hope you're proud of yourself."

[Califreak]

Yes. Payback is a bi*ch ain’t it?

[ExTexasRedhead]

Tell Chrissy what a gonadless, POS Liberal schmuck he is. There’s nothing lower than this human waste with a big mouth. There are those of us willing to climb in the gutter with these scum to fight on their terms. Surprise, surprise!

[mickey finn]

Operation Chaos is worth it just to see this clown get upset.

Run Hillary, run!

[katykelly]

Yup, Chrissy gets a nose bleed every 30 days.

I think Matthews and his ilk should see it differently. Rush is the equivalent of the journalist who sneaks a gun into an airplane. He is showing the serious flaws in the current primary system. I would not have participated in Operation Chaos, (for one thing, voting in a Dem primary sometimes makes it harder to be a Rep precinct chair, etc. later on), but he did both parties a service by showing them that they have to tighten up their systems.

Chris Matthews and MSDNC once again prove their political intellectual superiority.

I have the same single finger raised for Chrissy as I do for BO and the rest of the RATS.

I told a lib that I had a solution to the energy problems of our country. He was intrigued.

Then I said, with the federal level mandates for CFL bulbs and 1.5 gallon flush toilets,

we could hook up generators to the founders spinning in their graves and have all the electricity we’d ever need.

A baffled look, of course, was the only reply.

[nikos1121]

I think this operation chaos was a joke and I’m embarrassed by it. It was stupid and in hindsight makes RUsh look like the jerk the libs think he is. He’s spending over time bashing McCain and acting like O’ Reilly, thinking that he can annoint anyone. As it turned out O’ Reilly’s interview with Hillary may have actually hurt her. I doubt if you’ll see Obama on his show. The dems caused their own operation chaos.

Matthews offered a “Keith [Olbermann]-style special comment” about how “anyone who voted to screw up the political system of this country with the purpose of mischief should carry that with them the rest their lives.” He called it “a ridiculous way to use the vote for which people fought and died,”

Hey Chrissy — ANY attempt to destroy liberalism in the USA is the highest honor one can pay to those who’ve fought and died for this county.

[Right Cal Gal]

Whatsa matta, Chrissy? Couldn’t you with your powerful TV show counteract Rush? Everyone acted within the law so shaddup and siddown.

Must kill you when you see Rush’s audience numbers....

[KarlInOhio]

He called it "a ridiculous way to use the vote for which people fought and died,"

Chrissy, did you feel the same thing about the Gorons cheering as they threw out military absentee votes in Florida in 2000? They were disenfranchising the people who were actually fighting and dying at the time.

[Revolting cat!]

Operation Dumbo Fello Follo Limo Limbo!

[The Great RJ]

Operation Chaos succeeded brilliantly and kept Hillary in the race far beyond when she really should have quit. Thanks to Hillary’s no holds barred campaign, many marginal Democrats now see Obama as not being anyone they identify with and might vote for McCain.

[messierhunter]

What's shameful is the attempt to deter people from casting a vote for any one they wish, for any reason they wish. There's nothing "democratic" about controlling the reasons for which people can vote. Matthews and the others are trying to limit, and thereby destroy, the fundamental right our brave men and women died for.

Funny that when "independents" and crossovers voted for McCain it was perfectly legitimate, but when republicans do it for a democrat, it's shameful and should be prosecuted...

Liberals do not believe in inalienable rights, they believe that they should have the power to bestow rights until they're used in a way that they do not approve, at which time those rights can be revoked.

[God luvs America]

[PSYCHO-FREEP]

I can see why those Democrats would vote for McCain, he is clearly one of them.

[Godwin1]

This is silly! All kinds of democrats and other liberals crossed party lines to vote for Their Guy McCain. They effectively gave us an election with a choice between tweedle dee McCain and tweedle dum like minded liberals Obama or Hillary.

[ElPatriota]

... ROFL...

[alarm rider]

I grew up in South Texas. There, the dead voted for Lyndon Johnson, sometimes twice or three times. It was commonly known as the “graveyard poll”.
