I remember it as you do. It was to get vote for Obozo because it was felt he could not win in the general.

Rush’s version is correct. It was to vote for Hillary.

i remember it more as making sure hillary didn’t get the nomination, not that obama couldn’t win...

i also remember telling my hillary hating friends at the time while you may hate hillary, obama was a danger to the nation...

My recollection is quite the opposite -- that "Operation Chaos" was about have Republicans vote for Obama in the Democrat primaries because there was no way Obama could win the general election.

My recollection is exactly the same. Early in the primaries, Obama was viewed an an outsider, without a chance against Clinton. Limbaugh proposed people register as Dems, to vote for Obama, to give Clinton a poke in the eye. Boy, was that ever a failure....

It was done to keep the Rats attacking each other for as long as possible.

I recall it as trying to keep the primary extended. I recall him supporting Hillary in states she was weak in.

No, I voted for Hillary in Indiana in 2008 as part of Op Chaos.

In Indiana you select your primary ballot (R or D) at the polling place.

I think the idea was to keep the race close and vote for whichever one was ahead. I think the endgame was to force a brokered convention, or force Hillary to cash in her super delegates and deny Obama the nomination so as to create...chaos.

It was to vote for Hillary, because I did it here in TN. My GOP choice was gone by that time (Fred Thompson) and I didn't like anyone that was left. We're an open primary state so I voted in the Democrat primary.

Rush is back on his meds...It was to vote for the idiot from Chicago that didn’t stand a chance in the General to keep Hillary out.

You are wrong.
Limbaugh said the republicans should change parties vote for Clinton to drag out the primaries before O could wrap it up.

This is my memory too.

This thread is a classic example of the workings of the human mind and why gaslighting works.

We would have been much better off if Rush’s plan had ‘worked’ and HRC had gotten the nomination in 2008. Sad to think of, but reality has turned out much worse.

I thought it was for Hilary. But on the same subject, I sometimes wonder whether the Dems are doing Operation Chaos back at the Republicans, by giving Trump overwhelming numbers that won’t appear at the general. just a thot.

Operation Chaos encouraged Republicans to register as Democrats and to vote for Hillary!

The goal was to extend the democrat primary season and keep Hillary and Barry at each other’s throat.
