Hoosier Daddy

Campaign '08: Rush Limbaugh is given both credit and blame for helping Hillary Clinton to a narrow victory in the Indiana primary. He says he's trying to kill the Democrats' chances in November. We prefer to call it an assisted suicide.


When Limbaugh launched Operation Chaos, a sort of get-out-the-vote strategy turned inside out, some thought it was a ratings stunt. El Rushbo's influence was thought to have waned since the glory days when he helped propel the GOP tsunami of 1994.

Not so. David Axelrod, Obama's top strategist, credited Operation Chaos with Hillary's two-point victory in Indiana and sent an e-mail to reporters Tuesday night asserting that 7% of the votes in Indiana could be attributed to the "Limbaugh effect."

Obama won big in North Carolina. Sen. John Kerry told reporters: "If it hadn't been for Republicans taking Democratic ballots, they (the Obama camp) likely would have win in Indiana, too. There really is no masquerade now — Rush Limbaugh was tampering with the primary and the GOP has clearly declared they want Sen. Clinton as a candidate."

Au contraire, Sen. Kerry. They want Sen. John McCain as a president. Rush has said it was never about which of them loses, but about our guy winning. It was about interrupting the cult-like Obama euphoria long enough for reality to sink in. And sink in it did. In helping to extend the primary campaign, Rush did a great public service.

The protracted Democratic debate gave Rev. Jeremiah Wright a second 15 minutes of fame and allowed Obama's association with crooks and influence-peddlers such as Tony Rezko and violent terrorists such as Weathermen William Ayres and Bernadine Dohrn to be more thoroughly examined.

Don't you just love it when the Dims burn up their own money instead of money they've extorted from honest taxpayers?

LOL!

All of which might have been important if the national media didn't have their collective lips all over B. Hussein's arse.
