Rush Limbaugh: 'Operation Chaos' A Success In Extending Nomination

Did Rush Limbaugh disrupt the primaries today? He certainly thinks so; discover Operation Chaos:

RUSH LIMBAUGH: Greetings my friends. Greetings special operatives and commandos. I am commander-in-chief, US Operation Chaos. Rush Limbaugh, [inaudible] broadcast excellence for the next three hours. From behind the Golden EIB microphone at the heavily fortified and bunkered EIB Southern Command in Palm Beach, Florida.

I just got an email right before the email started. It said, "Rush, you are the lead at TIME Magazine.com. This is madness." So I went there, and it's Mark Halperin's blog, and there is a picture of me in a blue background with all kinds of stars surrounding my beautiful face and head. And the headline above this graphic is "Chaos?!" with an exclamation point and a question mark, and it references this story that I'm holding here in my formerly nicotine-stained fingers. The Indianapolis Star today on its website is updating turnout and other aspects of the primary vote in Indiana today. And the headline of their 10:51 am report was "Hardcore Republicans voting Democrat." And the TIME Magazine blog says, "Listen to Limbaugh Crow About This at Noon Eastern." I think they have a link to my website.

"The two precincts at Broad Ripple Family Center selected Republican Jon Elrod over Democrat Andre Carson in March's special election..." Blah, blah, blah. "But by 9 a.m., just 21 voters in one of those precincts had requested Republican ballots -- out of 168 cast. "Amid heavy turnout, Republicans appeared to be crossing over in droves today in Marion County, Indiana, and suburban counties, where fewer Republican voters might impact down-ticket primary races. At the Broad Ripple center, nearly 400 voters -- out of 1,800 registered had turned out in the first few hours of voting." Republicans crossing over to vote in the Democrat primary, Operation Chaos.

I have also been receiving field reports via email today both at my website email address and the elrushbo@eib net dot com address, from people, commandos, operatives, reporting that they have followed orders and fulfilled their duty. Nobody's been challenged. The Indiana voters all say that they have not been challenged, and they were hoping to be. They had themselves steeled and ready for it, many of them have showed in tie-dyes, flip-flops, holding their heads up and looking down at their noses like their liberals, effete snobs. You know, showing up in battered pickup trucks and this sort of thing, and nobody's challenged them. In fact, some of the people show up and they ask for a Democrat ballot, and the poll worker says, "Why, what are you going to do?" He says, "Operation Chaos," and they just laugh. "Oh, is that what's going on here?" one poll worker said.

Here's another one from New Albany, Indiana, which is right across - it's Louisville North. Received a call from one of Obama's operatives. She asked me if I was going to vote for Obama in the primary. I said, "No." She asked me who I was voting for. I said, "Operation Chaos." The Obama worker laughed and then said, "Okay" with a positive tone to her voice and thanked me for my time.

Rush, at 8:15 am this morning I voted for Hillary Clinton in the Indiana primary. It was tough. I showered twice, I threw up a little in my mouth, but I did it. It was an honor to follow your orders. Matthew Sullivan, [some town], Indiana.

Greetings from small-town Indiana. Well, I got up late this morning, put on my old tie-dye, rode my bicycle to polling place. The lady asked me, "Republican or Democrat?" Almost swallowing my tongue, I mumbled, "Democrat." I cast my vote for Hillary. The day gets worse. The beer store is closed on election day. I can't even get the taste out of my mouth. But I'm a loyal soldier. Chris Long.

Hey, Rush. My bride and I went in this morning at nine o'clock to vote - this is North Carolina Operation Chaos update. We changed to unaffiliated in North Carolina last month, did our part for Operation Chaos. After we submitted our pen-marked ballot, no machines in Garner, North Carolina, I took my official Operation Chaos hat out of my front pocket and I put it on. I then took the "I Voted" sticker that they hand out after the ballot's submitted, and I pressed it above the word "operation" on my hat. The looks I got as we left were priceless. Most were smiles, some men laughed, two women just frowned. By the way, I also had my "Camp Gitmo" t-shirt on under an unbuttoned cover shirt, double-whammy time. The election workers were commenting on the high turnout for our area, but I don't know if that's the case statewide. Big Al in Garner.

[munkii]

so much for the party of morals..

[ajax2]

The huge numbers of Republicans voting for Huckabee, and Romney show a massive Limbaugh failure of biblical proportions.

[NoSillyName]

How many more years must we be subjected to this BLOWHARD and his dimwitted dittoheads?

[Chavez08]

Note to Howard Dean: It's time to inject the same kind of sabotage into the GOP.

Get off your ass and wipe these Federalist pricks off the map.

Does anyone have Limbaughs address?

[BethStuart]

Here's a piece from Limbaugh's profile at Wikipedia. Even his mother didn't think much of him:

His father and mother wanted him to attend college, so he enrolled at Southeast Missouri State University. But he dropped out after two semesters and one summer; according to his mother, "he flunked everything", even a modern ballroom dancing class. His mother was not entirely surprised.

[4wehttam]

Don't these people have any sense of decency??? Soldiers are fighting everyday for the rights that we have in America and for him to stomp on our democracy is a sacrilege; and he thinks not wearing a lapel pin makes you un-American, what the hell do you think is worse LimBALLS???!!!

You malicious prick, I hope you say or do something illegal soon, so your ass can get fired or sent to jail.

[clintfatigue]

More like Operation Douche Bag.

[thundermummy]

To be precise, Operation Anal Polyps.

[JeremyO]

Operation Chaos is what the Republican party will look like after November 5 when President Obama has a majority Democratic House and Senate after a few dozen Republicans are booted out. Of corse Rush will do everything in his party to be counterproductive to advancing American policy, how's that go: Pride comes before the fall?

[newshawk14]

A number of years ago in CA, someone put up for sale, a bumper sticker that said, "Don't Vote,
it only Encourages the Bastards". I was rather amused by It, however the judge was not, and
threw the book at him. I think that what Russ Limbaugh has tried to do, is far worse, and really
deserving of a prison sentence, and not some nice country club prison. The man is an
unredeemable scumbag, who is more than willing to subvert our democracy.

[indiethinker]

What a pathetic statement about the desperate state of "conservative" Republicans that they will blindly follow this buffoon in attempting to subvert elections. They're so morally bankrupt that they think the only way they can win is by sabotaging the Democratic primary process. How proud these chickenhawk patriots must be of themselves!

[Christober]

Exactly. These people are just plain wierd. "It was an honor to follow your orders." Matthew Sullivan, [some town], Indiana. and "But I'm a loyal soldier." Chris Long
What the heck is that? We have to understand that these type of people are incapable of thinking for themselves. They feed this crazy man's Oxycontin filled ego as they pretend to be engaging in some kind of military operation where Oxylimbaugh is some kind of grand leader. Gawd!!! It's rather depressing to know that their are people that stupid actually voting for anything. Obviously Oxyhead has these delusions of grandeur where he is the beloved leader. All he needs is a souped up military uniform and mirrored sunglasses and there is no doubt the mindless masses like those above would consider him their "big brother" or "dear leader". Perhaps we should call him Mommar Stalin Pinochet OxyLimbaugh. Yeah, that sounds about right. NO wait, we should add the "third" for theatrical effect. Mommar Stalin Pinochet OxyLlimbaugh III (the third). I don't know who the first two would be but I'm sure the grand puba of pain pills would find the title fitting,considering his ego. Of course his followers would have to pray that he doesn't get a pimple on his rear before a battle, he would then have to exclude himself.

[TheJibreelaMonsters]

Close one however Chaos prevails in the battle of the Hoosier State. Press on to West Virgina

[Tages72]

A success, yeah. Obama is now the Democratic nominee, pally. Some freakin' operation. And you still have the balls to dump on the French for being losers? The only losers are the "voters" who participated in this scam. Chris Matthews was right to call out these freaks for messing with something untold generations have DIED for. In fact, they're dying even as I write these words.

Rush Limbaugh's hate-mongering would make Joe McCarthy squirm. This idiot is no Republican, no conservative, he's not even a patriot. He merely thinks he's Howard Stern, forming his own little cult of avid listeners, all ready to jump high when Rush says so.

All bark and no bite. Just another moron who will fade away with time, until some people in this country develop brain cells to ignore such buffons from popping up again.

Until then, somebody PLEASE parachute Limbaugh over Baghdad with an M-16 while all hell is breaking loose. Let's see how much he enjoys playing soldier then! And send in his damn posse along while you're at it.

[clintfatigue]

Say good bye, Rush. Operation Chaos is just another cynical ego game for you but it's meaningless now. You are going to fade into obscurity during the second week in November, never to be heard from again. Enjoy your retirement and remember, One Day At A Time.

[wingman1]

S C U M B A A A A A A A A G!
Roll him in manure and put him in jail where he belongs.

[JR49]

I just say one thing. It is time that somebody takes this man and close him to the mental hospital where he belongs..but well we are in United States of America where even voice of mentally sick man can be heard...so it is all good...I am sure he would close radio if noody paid attention to him...I mean if newspapers and MSM stopped talking about him...it would be his end.

[TNT2008]

It's never been about "Operation Chaos"! When it comes to Rush it's always about "Operation Get A Load Of Me"! This is what a true male chauvinist pig looks like.......what a puke!

[lvogt]

Limbaugh successfully got himself talked about.

[SharonB]

Rush is interested in two things...

1. Rush
2. Money

He realy enjoys having high ratings, too. But, he is head over heels IN love with Rush and Money.

[CarlyCorday]

3. The Oxycontin high

4. Sex that can't be bought in the United States

(Wait, what kind of sex can't be bought in the United States??
Oh good gosh, never mind!)

[TheRealFish]

SharonB: You forgot one - Drugs.

[Christober]

Yeah, see how this sounds. Drug Rush Money. You like?

[LiberalBuzz]

AND of course Rush Osamabinlimbaugh is doing the work of all Anti American Anti Democracy people around the world.

I would love to have someone in a serious place, an actual big time name call him out in public and ask him why he hates America and why he hates democracy to the point where he would try to put democracy in such a bad state? Why he would try to undermine democracy.

I've always known he was a horrible horrible human being but even now I am still amazed at just how low he keeps sinking in his non stop attacks on democracy and the American way.

[drblack]

So this is the guy with the trained monkey right?
I just can't figure out who this is and why anyone cares.
He looks very unhealthy.
He does look like Butters from South Park after he grows up. Though without the charm.

[CarlyCorday]

Eric Cartman. Butters is adorable. Please.

[larstein]

Rush is a demon, a trickster. He loves it, it fits him. His cult of dittoheads are damaged people, possibly stuck in drudgy jobs, overstressed, and kinda pissed at life generally. They are ripe for Rush's smooth and silky message of voting fun. They don't care, they've already given up. They know the Gop's going to lose big in the fall. They'll do anything Rush wants. Why not? His solopsism is so voracious he thinks corrupting the democratic process is patriotic.

[raskolnikov72]

Can't this guy go to jail for this? Oh, I forgot, you can defraud voters all the time - like Obama's zero vote totals in Harlem.

[JRandomPoster]

In theory, yes. It is a closed primary in Indiana (and Ohio). Legally, he has committed conspiracy to commit voter fraud.

Will he? Probably not.

[SharonB]

Well, you would have to prove that those voters switched their registration just to vote in the primary and not because they actually changed party affiliation. And, when they change back to registered repubs, they can just say the person that they wanted to win didn't.
Very hard to prove.
But, it is very wrong.

[JRandomPoster]

Confessions available via Rush's web site transcripts.

[JRandomPoster]

Looks like Hillary's Pyrrhic victory is pretty much covered by crossover voters, Rush inspired or not.

It will be interesting to see what the Hillary campaign's statements tomorrow are.

[libertad]

This guy is such an idiot. It won't matter though - his party will be out on its ass in November.

[ChironexFleckeri]

Once you factor in the Chaos vote, Indiana is really a win for Obama. There were record numbers of Republicans that voted in this Democratic primary.
