CNN:

He has publicly urged Republicans to vote for Hillary Clinton to keep the divisive Democratic nomination fight alive, but talk radio host Rush Limbaugh said Wednesday it's Barack Obama who he really wants to be the party's nominee.

"I now believe he would be the weakest of the Democrat nominees," Limbaugh, among the most powerful voices in conservative radio, said on his program. "I now urge the Democrat supereldegates to make your mind up and publicly go for Obama."

Rush is on his Gasbag Holiday, compliments of Hillary Clinton.

The Repubs are done. Operation Choas was just a cover for the fact that the Neo-Con has totally destroyed their party, and the real conservatives are leaving in droves to be Independents or Democrats.

I think that this is a more accurate assessment; Limbaugh and his ilk thrive on self-contrived issues; after November he's going to have to go back to railing about the Democratic President to the 25% of the population that will never get it.

This is so funny !

Rush is becoming increasingly irrelevant , except for those who don't have brains.

By making statements like this , he just tries to hold on to his ever diminishing listeners .

I'm glad he is saying this. It shows what a charlatan he really is .

And , Arianna, why are you giving this baboon any recognition ?

I personally don't care for his show, I don't think its a good program.

However, I never understand why people insist how irrelevant he is becoming, or other conservative hosts for that matter. Their ratings never really waver much, unlike the left leaning shows, save for a very few names. I can't seem to turn on a news program on any channel without his name being mentioned, and for the same reason, and I am tired of hearing his name!

Even his critics agree that his little campaign has had an effect on the voting in the Democrat elections. Enough so that s few states are trying to ask people about their voting backgrounds or getting them to sign "pledges". That would not happen if he was irrelevant.

A certain talk host has put forth the theory that Operation
Chaos was only cover for the fact that Republicans are
crossing over to Obama in droves. .

Rush's reversal is only proof that this talk host is right.

Republicans really are fleeing their party.

If Rush hadn't given McCain cover, it would have
been apparent from the start that McCain can't
carry his party.

That feels true.

But if the Republicans are crossing over to vote for Hillary more than for Obama, that tells me Hillary is the least repugnant to people who only recent supported neocons.

I want the candidate who is more different from the neocons than Hillary. Obama 08

Serious questions:

Why is Murdoch paying hundreds of millions in bribes to Chinese Communist leaders?

Why do Limbaugh and Murdoch throw unwaivering **public** support to the Communist Government in China?

Why did Reagan force the "Soothing Policy" on Red China during the peak of Communist aggression in the region?

Why did Nixon go to Mau and kiss his ass without providing details of trade negotiations? Where is Bush while Communist China is cracking-down i Tibet, Taiwan?

It wasn't Kennedy or Carter or Johnson...­This is documented proof that only Republicans support Communism.

When did Limbaugh decide to become a Communist Sympathizer? Why does he hate America so much?

"The enemy of my enemy part?"

LOL!

Are you sure you know which end of the K-Bar you're supposed to hold, or are you waiting for your fingers to heal before trying again?

I'm not. Limbo is deaf and dumb and his listeners are deaf, dumb, blind and born to follow. Sun Tzu isn't a flip flopper. Another post had it wright: they see that they're days are numbered.

I happen to be a Military Historian; rest assured, Sun Tzu would have found Rush a boorish amateur at best, and an easily neutralized opponent thanks to his moral and physical torpidity, his intellectual and moral bankruptcy.

Then again, IMHO Sun Tzu would have found the misrule of the entire Bushevik regime to be a perfect example of everything he advised rulers *not* to be, from corrupt and untrustworthy as a matter of course, to clueless about the nature of one's enemies, and even how to launch, conduct, and conclude a war.

Sun Tzu would no doubt have dismissed Rush as the blowhard stooge he is, and manipulated him into disaster accordingly with Rush's own words. Kinda like what honest Americans have been doing with increasing frequency. Funny how history has ways of repeating itself...

Rush always did remind me of Hermann Goering with a microphone and cigar in his mouth.

I am so glad that Democratic super-delegates finally received their instructions from Limbaugh. Now all they have to do is go vote the way he wants them to.

Hilarious!

Here's how to get rid of Rush and his mouth:

1. Send an investigative reporter down to the Dominican Republic.
2. Head to Casa de Campo.
3. Find ANY of the private security guards on duty.
4. Show picture of Rush
5. Flash 30,000 pesos (about 100.00)
6. Ask about his viagra purchase.

What a gasbag. His secret plan was to get Obama elected all along? Rust Limpballs is a legend in his own mind as addled as that may be from his drug addiction. I don't think so but say anything to save face. But we need to thank Rust Limpballs for helping to keep the intensity of the Obama tsunami going. Rust, thanks for all of the free publicity. And remember, Rust, sometimes it matters more that people are talking about you regardless of what they are saying.

No, he's just discovered that Obama is significantly weaker than Hillary, that's all.

No mystery.
