Operational pause over. The question, quite simply, was whether the media would use yesterday’s feeble spin session as an excuse to tack back towards Hillary, thereby warranting an OC re-think, or if they’d remain face down in the tank for St. Barry. Question answered. Thus does Operation “Better the Pragmatist than the Leftist” recommence.
Two clips here, the first the meat of it and the second a little something for dessert.

Operation Chaos back again
Mojack420 on April 30, 2008 at 2:27 PM
Wow.
That was quick.
Et tu Brute on April 30, 2008 at 2:28 PM
We need Hillary to win the nomination so Obama’s supporters will write him in during the general, splitting the vote. If Obama wins the nomination, Hillary supporters fall in line and vote for Obama.

I just knew someone would snag that Ace plug.
JammieWearingFool on April 30, 2008 at 2:31 PM
Yay! Go Hillary!
LimeyGeek on April 30, 2008 at 2:34 PM
I don’t know if he did it earlier, but what’s cool in the second clip is that he didn’t feel the need to have to identify who MKH is.
eeyore on April 30, 2008 at 2:35 PM
I was starting to feel a little queasy about having cast a vote for Hillary, but it looks like BO is still the man for the left.
Go get ‘em in NC and IN.
forest on April 30, 2008 at 2:38 PM
I sure hope this works. We don’t need bho or hc for POTUS. I just hope a great number of black voters will vote R. I’m not all that thrilled with McCain, but he beats the daylights out of the other two.

Second look at lesser of two evils!
lorien1973 on April 30, 2008 at 2:41 PM
I hope all of the democrats and the anti-McCain people don’t get their wish this November 2nd. And I hope that I get my wish and McCain not seek reelection for 2012. (or if he chooses a good conservative Vice President and he or she runs in 2012.)
wise_man on April 30, 2008 at 2:42 PM
Ever notice how Wright looks and sounds like Hitler, at a Nurembug rally? The histrionics … the rhetoric … the hate … the masses of followers.
It’s all there.
OhEssYouCowboys on April 30, 2008 at 2:43 PM
MKH gettin’ a shout out from El Rushbo. Congrats!
CP on April 30, 2008 at 2:43 PM
Maybe Rush is unfamiliar with the phrase: Careful what you wish for.
Or maybe he really thinks Hillary would be a better president than McCain and is looking forward to snatching the once-in-a-lifetime defeat of a conservative majority on the Supreme Court from the jaws of victory.
Or maybe he thinks Hillary would be a better Commander In Chief than John McCain and would better prosecute the war against the jihadists.
Or maybe he’s just stupid.
Typhoon on April 30, 2008 at 2:44 PM
But….but…..I really want to vote Dan Burton out of office in the primary. What am I to do?
Dr.Cwac.Cwac on April 30, 2008 at 2:46 PM
Darn it man, your imagery just scared me a little…
Et tu Brute on April 30, 2008 at 2:47 PM

If Hillary gets the nomination there’s going to be a huge schism in the Democratic party. Black America either will vote McCain or just stay home once the fireworks are over at the Democratic National Convention. While I think McCain can beat either of the 2 Dems…I think it’s a home run if it’s Hillary because the Obama voters (the black and the young) will not turn out for Hillary.

I’m sitting here listening to the last two calls of his show, and rolling on the floor, laughing hysterically.
This is just too funny!
Do Hillary, Obama (and friends), the democrats intend to administer the country, let alone health care, they way they are administering this primary?
rockhauler on April 30, 2008 at 2:58 PM
RedLasso sucks….I always get an error and we don’t block anything like that here at work.
ChefJeff on April 30, 2008 at 2:59 PM
It’s only a shame Rush Limbaugh and Operation Chaos have no power or influence whatsoever. If you believe otherwise you’re an idiot.
CABE on April 30, 2008 at 3:04 PM
Rush just had a lady on,a bit confused about “Operation
Chaos”,he told her “Trust your Commander-in-Chief”!Haha.
Kudo’s to U.S.S Ace of Spades,and the lovely MKH from Rush!
Operation Chao’s is back in operation,all leave is cancelled
and special operation’s and seals will be parachuting behind
enemy lines for additional chaos!Hhahahha.
canopfor on April 30, 2008 at 3:06 PM
Rockhauler,
I’m in Iraq and won’t get to listen to Rush 24/7 until tomrorow morning. I can’t wait to hear these 2 phone calls…it will be like Christmas morning I can tell already! My Rush membership is the best purchase I ever made!

Onager on April 30, 2008 at 3:09 PM
Careful with the “Hitler” comparisons to Wright - the left makes that comparison so promiscuously with GWB, and with such profound intellectual dishonesty, that any such comparison in the media, regardless of the veracity of it, is rendered to the fringes of partisan blather.
Wright is simply a bitter, insane, racist demagogue with delusions of pastoral grandeur - he’s not a genocidal murderer who’s commanding real armies killing real people, driven by visions of world conquest. Hitler and Wright could both be described as delusional, just not having exactly the same delusions.
Trouble is that now, whenever there really is a valid comparison to Hitler with anyone holding a governmental leadership position, (Ahmateenywad, for instance)it is immediately discounted and history is free to repeat itself.
Fishoutofwater on April 30, 2008 at 3:11 PM
I suspect Howard Dean and the superdelegates think differently. But, it is a lot of fun, isn’t it? Perhaps you don’t think so.
a capella on April 30, 2008 at 3:12 PM
The drive-by media seems to think that there is influence here. The sheer numbers of listeners to Limbaugh’s program would suggest there is some influence. The McCain types in Congress that want to reinstitute the “fairness doctrine” cite Limbaugh, Hannity, and Ingraham as reasons why the First Amendment should be further curtailed from the rights John McCain gave away under the premise of CFR……
Where is your proof that there isn’t some influence here?
highhopes on April 30, 2008 at 3:13 PM
JetBlast,
Thank you, and all, for your service to our country. If I had the money, I would see to it every military person, who wanted it, had Rush on the 24/7.

Or maybe you have no idea what Operation Chaos is about. Read the name again.
John McCain’s ability to win depends entirely on the weakness of his opponent. Obama’s perceived weakness is functionally dependent on the amount of time he spends in the primary getting shredded by Clinton, Inc. (since McCain and his staff are too milquetoast to attack him head on).
As it stands, there are two likely scenarios for the Democrats. One, Obama limps into the nomination after spending tens of millions fighting a fellow Democrat and a highly contentious, possibly lawless, convention. Two, Hillary slimes into the nomination after a highly contentious, certainly lawless, convention which will both leave the Democrats fractured and without a coherent narrative.
Rush is doing the only thing that actually will help McCain, because honestly, McCain is a sub-par candidate on his own.
Oh, and if you think he’s going to nominate a conservative to the bench to replace JPS, Ginsburg or Kennedy, I have two words for you: Harry Blackmun. Republican nominated, beloved by hard leftists. McCain will do as he’s told by the Senate Democrats and nominate a known quantity to the bench. In fact, every leftist on the court save Breyer and Ginsburg was nominated by Republicans to the right of McCain.
Please can the SCOTUS canard. It doesn’t hold water.
spmat on April 30, 2008 at 3:14 PM
Oh, man. I think we could have done without the “my glorious naked body” part of it.
Attila (Pillage Idiot) on April 30, 2008 at 3:15 PM
its really sad when the republican candidate is this weak. I mean ALL the candidates are this weak, but I expected that we’d keep out dignitude intact and not resort to strategeries like this.
beefytee on April 30, 2008 at 3:19 PM
One knows that Op Chaos is working because the MSM is working so hard on saying that it is not.
Speaking of the MSM NO RECESSION. No matter how hard you all tried to hurt the citizens of the USA you failed. How sad that liberals have to actively work to hurt the country to satisfy their need to gain power to hurt the country.
jukin on April 30, 2008 at 3:24 PM
Delicious.
Hillary closes the gap in North Carolina, then wins big in Indiana? MUAHAHA!!
The question is who is harder to win back, blacks or women? Answer blacks. Hillary’s Hispanic voters are going to break for McCain, Hillary’s white voters are going to split. He can’t win but he has to get the nod to keep the black vote. And the racial demagoguing by confronters, and leftists against all things white/Republican/conservative is going to turn the Democrat party into an open sewer, on national television, on a nightly basis, for months…
And lets remember what part of Obama’s record has not been exploited? That’s right, he’s pro abortion. Very pro abortion. His defense of his voting record will be constitutionally based, which leads very nicely into his potential SCOTUS appointments. (Even Bill Clinton was smart enough to not endorse the gruesome pratice) That is a formula for losing the middle. Team McCain must be delirious at the prospect of confronting him on this, it just makes the elitist, liberal, out of touch with mainstream America label all the more sticky.
Then there is the this. What happens to Obamas views on abortion if this reeneters the news cycle as Obama defends his view on
late terms abortionsinfanticide? A group of black pastors highlighting the massive amount of black pregnancies ended by planned parenthood, will surely cause him to squirm. Obama will probably end up in Wright scandal type spinning trying to take all positions at once. Juxtaposed against the stalwart stances of John McCain, Obama will become less and less appealing to the middle that did not vote in the primaries.Theworldisnotenough on April 30, 2008 at 3:26 PM
Oh CABE!!!! Lighten up! Enjoy the battle and the nose tweeking Rush loves to do!
Vince on April 30, 2008 at 3:28 PM
Now barry is taking counsel from phlegger, the abortion pushing priest. This needs to be put in barry’s face next.

Excellent summation of OC.
Nichevo on April 30, 2008 at 3:46 PM
We have been chortling with laughter in our family over Operation Chaos. I especially enjoy his nose tweaking comments that he is fighting with Howard Dean for control of the DNC. It’s been the bright spot to brighten the political dismals of conservatives this campaign!!
INC on April 30, 2008 at 3:47 PM
My sense of humor may be different than yours, but this whole op chaos is a hoot.
By the way, just finished Michael Yon’s ” Moment of Truth in Iraq”. It confirmed many things I’d already concluded, and slapped me in the face with a couple of things I hadn’t.
I’m doing what little I can to help from this side. You need popcorn?
rockhauler on April 30, 2008 at 3:50 PM
Howdy! Thank you for your service and keep up the yeoman’s work you guys are doing over there!
spmat on April 30, 2008 at 3:57 PM
didn’t join up for OC in NC. wanted to vote for the downticket. NC needs a republician gov. hopefully with alot of independents going democratic in the primary. THe NCGOP can nominate a real conservative for some key state gov positions this time around. i have little hope but the taxes and incompentance of the democrates are starting to be seen statewide.
unseen on April 30, 2008 at 3:59 PM
That actually made me crack up.
He has such an awesomely twisted sense of humor sometimes.
apollyonbob on April 30, 2008 at 4:08 PM
No, no, that was the funniest thing! My wife asked me what the heck was I laughing at.
cjs1943 on April 30, 2008 at 4:10 PM
I think I’m going to throw up. I may have grown to be right-wing, but my feelings about Limbaugh are unchanged since my moonbat days.
thuja on April 30, 2008 at 4:15 PM
Sorry Rush, I’ve got one good R that I really want to support and some bad Rs I want to vote against. I’m minding my own yard next Tuesday.
Brian Paasch on April 30, 2008 at 4:30 PM
rockhauler,
Looks like I can listen to Rush tonight after all. We just had a rocket attack here in Basrah and since I got thrown out of bed anyway, I might as well stay up and listen since I won’t be getting any sleep anytime soon anyway.
My favorite is when Rush says the name “Jesse Jacksooooone” or when he imitates Billy Jeff’s voice. What a total ‘hoot’.
JetBlast on April 30, 2008 at 4:35 PM
Sorry, no sale.
Personally everyone on the right who buys into the whole silly “Operation Chaos” idea makes me a little sad to be on the right myself.
The heart of the idea seems to be that the average American is so stupid that without some string-pulling on the part of their betters involved in the whole affair, Americans who aren’t political junkies would just have followed the Obamamania phenomenon slack-jawed and vapidly all the way to inauguration day.
To me, that makes you all really not that much different than the left, who also view Americans as too stupid and gullible to do “the right thing” and elect redistributionists to vote them some nice chunks of evil rich money.
I’m not buying any of it. I also think that all of you are missing the point on McCain. There’s a lot of hate in the country right now on the right and the left. And I think the middle is sick of it. I know you’d love to get your rocks off hearing McCain rip Obama a new one on a whole host of things, but you’re in a tiny, tiny minority of people.
Most folks bemoan the loss of honor, of courage, of self-sacrifice, of civility and restraint.
Now I’m not saying McCain’s run an absolutely perfect campaign, but I do think he’s running a good one; I think he’ll make the points that need being made in the fullness of time and not on the schedule of people who need to fast-forward to the end and get their jollies RFN.
And finally, if you think SCOTUS is a canard, I think you’re very much wrong. I don’t know for a fact that McCain won’t nominate someone I’m in complete agreement with. But I do know for a fact that Obama or Hillary will.
And that once they do, there won’t be any salvation. And there’ll be no one on the right that can weigh in on the choice or counsel or alter it by one, damn word.
And that is enough reason to fight for me.
Typhoon on April 30, 2008 at 4:40 PM
Obama or Hillary will not, that is to say.
Typhoon on April 30, 2008 at 4:42 PM
Very understandable. It’s that potential conundrum that makes me glad that, other than the Presidential primary, the partisan primaries in Wisconsin aren’t held until September.
steveegg on April 30, 2008 at 4:42 PM
Couldn’t say it better myself.
steveegg on April 30, 2008 at 4:43 PM
Mad props for use of the word: milquetoast
beefytee on April 30, 2008 at 4:53 PM
No amount of OC will match the absolute flood of new Democrats registering to vote in every primary thus far. If we are really interested in making up the 10% and rising hit we took in congress and having a Republican in the White House, it’s going to take more than a little Rush tomfoolery.
Republicans do not believe in John McCain, so if he is elected, expect his numbers to be very low and add to his one-term-lame-duck status before he even gets into office.
Chaos. Control. Chaos. Control.

So everyone that signs up as a dem will vote for a dem? Or maybe since the dem race is the only interesting national race people have decided to be “in the big race” come Nov they maybe plenty of reasons to vote a different way. Most new voters to do vote straight party tickets. Those straight tickets are voted by long term party memebers. Those that have drank the kool-aid long and deep for many years. No the new voters are just as likely to vote R as D when Nov rolls around esp if the congress continues to fiddle while gas goes up. the environwackos will bury the dems when gas hits $4.00 or $5.00 and the Dems can not explain why we are not drilling?
Of course it would be better for Rep if Bush got up every day and told the tale.
unseen on April 30, 2008 at 6:00 PM
Limbaugh’s a paper tiger. He couldn’t even influence an election in his own party. Hillary’s victories in Ohio, RI, Texas, and Penn were all expected months earlier. I’m interested in seeing if she can win Indiana. If not, I’d say he’s just full of himself.

go back to the senate, get some experience and actually DO SOMETHING.
