Limbaugh seeks to sow chaos in Democrats’ race
Sphere: Related ContentDemocratic Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton’s crucial Pennsylvania primary victory last week came with the help of a patchwork of political support: working-class voters, seniors, white men, Catholics, women and - maybe even the Great Satan.Rush Limbaugh may be his real name, but to millions of Democratic grassroots voters, especially on the left, the conservative icon who’s been called the most influential radio broadcaster in America reigns as the political Prince of Darkness.
Even more so during a 2008 presidential race in which Limbaugh has assumed a new title, “commander,” as he heads a drive dubbed “Operation Chaos,” a gleeful and, he argues, increasingly successful effort to wreak havoc with the Democratic primary system and its candidates, Clinton and Illinois Sen. Barack Obama.
Limbaugh’s effort, which began early this year, is a call to arms urging conservatives and Republican voters to re-register as Democrats - and create chaos in that party’s presidential nomination process by casting a vote.
The proof that it is working, Limbaugh says, is in the unusual turnout of turncoats: An estimated 100,000 GOP voters crossed over in Tuesday’s Pennsylvania primary. And he argues it’s no coincidence that TV networks last week appeared reluctant to rely on exit polling and waited more than an hour before calling a solid Keystone State win for Clinton. “Operation Chaos” loyalists have been following orders to mess with exit pollers en masse - by lying to them, Limbaugh says.
“The endgame is to see that neither of these candidates can win by virtue of the primaries,” Limbaugh told The Chronicle last week. “One or the other will win only when the superdelegates decide who they want. And whoever the supers choose will infuriate the loser’s supporters. More chaos.”

And now the circle of Evil is complete! BWWAA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA-HA!!!!
Seriously, how lame is it when a talk-radio host has an even-odds chance of completely screwing your entire political party?

I love the smell of desperation in the morning. And if I recall correctly, isn’t this “operation chaos” strategy taken from the democrat play book? Weren’t the socialist party faithful told to cross over vote against Guliani and Thompson when soros and company (the lsm) feared their nomination? It is too laugh. This is shaping up to be the nastiest contest EVER and damn if it doesn’t involve a supposed woman and a supposed minority. In America even tokens can run for President.
