Time Text
Ha.
How are you?
Welcome back, the nation's most listened to radio talk show, hosted by me, Rush Limbaugh.
That's why it's called a Rush Limbaugh program here on the EIB network.
Meeting and surpassing all audience expectations on a daily basis.
Operation Chaos continues.
Operation Rush the Vote.
The Boston Globe has finally discovered it today.
The Allentown Morning Call has discovered it today.
And even at The Nation magazine, very liberal magazine, they've discovered it.
This morning on C SPAN's Washington Journal, the uh the guest is the nation's Ari Melbourne.
Uh caller said, Could you uh you tell me what you think of Republicans crossing over to affect a Democrat primary?
Rush Limbaugh, for example, has been urging his listeners to go and vote actually for Hillary on the theory that she would be easier to beat.
I think it's wrong.
Uh and I think that basically you should vote on principle and not go and try to make trouble on the other side.
I really don't think that's stuff at pounds based stuff.
It's a good healthy way to exercise our democracy.
In some states, these are state law issues, but in some states it's illegal.
In Ohio, for example, um, there is actually a good faith test.
If you are saying I am doing this in bad faith, because I'm not really in this party, that can be illegal.
Uh and so people should know that, and people should not break the law.
And it depends on the state party rules.
Uh, for those who are interested, wired uh the website and magazine had a whole piece about this about how basically Rush Limbaugh, who's urging that in Ohio, was effectively urging people, if they did it in bad faith, to break the law, and that's important.
I never urged anybody to break the law.
This is this is so comical.
They are so agitated over this, they just can't stand it when their own tactics are turned back on them, folks.
They just can't stand.
They get to muck up our primaries all they want, they get to cross over, they get to do anything they want, choose our nominee and so forth.
We get involved in theirs.
And by the way, this is not just about uh getting Hillary nominated because she'd be easier to beat.
This is about causing chaos.
This is about continuing this soap opera for a whole bunch of reasons.
They and the reasons run from the political, and they are obvious, to the simple fact also that this is fun.
I mean, this is the party, it's supposed to be so put together, so well wired, so forward thinking, and they uh you can mess them up.
Uh like I say, folks, this is the last hour.
We may wake up one morning in November and be miserable and unhappy, but we will have the memory of more fun months leading up to it.
Uh well, no, I'm not predicting anything in November because I have no clue.
Nobody else does either.
Um Nora O'Donnell on Friday afternoon on uh uh DNC TV was just she was in a crisis.
She was beside herself, freaking out over the uh Reverend J. Wright story, and asking openly asking on the air, how do we get away from this?
I don't even kind of know where to go from here, quite frankly.
I mean, it sort of seems like I don't even know how these candidates can talk about policy because it seems like every day someone's asking them to apologize for the comments of their supporters.
I mean, Rush Limbaugh went nuts today on his program about this story.
How do we get away from this?
Well, get this primary over with for one thing.
I think part of the problem is that this thing never ends, and the differences between Hillary and Obama are actually quite small on policy grounds.
That's Michael Crowley, their senior editor of the New Republic.
He's right to get to end the primary.
That's what we are preventing.
We are giving Mrs. Clinton enough reasons to hang in there, and of course Obama is too, because Obama has, you know, he stepped in it big time here with the Reverend J. Wright stuff.
And make no mistake and John Pedarch writes about this today on commentary on their website.
Uh Hillary's hanging in there because she's hoping and maybe planning on uh the fact that Obama's gonna have a series of crises.
Uh he's not battle tested, he's never had negative ads run against him, uh, and to see how he responds to it.
Uh, she clearly is hoping that he can be damaged enough that superdelegates will say, screw the primaries, we need to win.
We've got an electability problem with Obama.
That's what they're hoping happens in the Clinton campaign.
That there is some something ha like this, uh something else to head down the pike with that will cause superdelegates to think, my gosh, this guy can't win.
We're gonna have to support Hillary.
Uh and and by the way, uh I wouldn't doubt that the Clinton team is already trying to put that thought in the heads of many, many superdelegates, which is why I think Miss Pelosi is out on television Sunday talking about the damage to the party if that would happen.
Because see, Nancy Pelosi, the last person Nancy Pelosi wants to see be president is um is Hillary.
Because I mean that that that means Pelosi's no longer the Queen B in Washington.
She wouldn't be the most powerful woman there, Hillary would be.
I don't think they get along that well anyway.
I don't think they're that close uh for a uh you know host of of reasons that lead largely to female competitiveness.
So people don't talk about female competitiveness much, but it's there.
All right, Juan Williams weighed in on the uh Obama saga.
This was Fox News Sunday with Chris Wallace during the panel discussion.
Uh Wallace said, hey, does it say anything about him that he's a member of this church and he's a member of Reverend Wright's flock?
Of course it says something about him.
He joined this church really to solidify his credentials as authentically black and authentically a part of that South side Chicago uh community, because it's the largest church there, and Reverend Wright is well known, not only in Chicago, but nationally.
And he's known for making these outlandish comments.
It's very key here that unlike uh the notion that Barack Obama wants to advance that he didn't or wasn't aware of it, I find that unbelievable, uh, or that this is a crazy uncle speaking out, he'd he this is a man who he chose to be associated, was not a family member, he chose to be associated with Reverend Wright and saw advantage in it.
It speaks to his character and it speaks to the judgment, which is the basis on which Barack Obama has been running his campaign.
There was more, too, because uh Wallace said one what what do you think it says about Obama's character and his judgment?
Obama who says he wants to be transracial, that he wants to be the crossover.
I mean, he is the fruit of a generation.
This is the closest black people ever been to having a president of the United States of America, and suddenly you see, wait a second, he's playing games and corners here on the race question.
He's not being straight ahead and saying, you know what, I stand astride racial polarization.
He's saying I play racial polarization at one moment to my advantage, Reverend Wright.
Next moment, I will distance myself and and disavow Reverend Wright when that's convenient too.
It's it's that's why I say for me, it just strikes wait a second, I want to know you.
I want to know what you think and who you are, and in this case I realize I don't.
That is exactly right.
What everybody is asking is does Obama believe this stuff himself?
And the reason they're asking the question is because he hasn't, up until he was forced to, renounced parts of it.
He hasn't left the church.
He hasn't said one thing against Reverend J. Wright, uh, well, other than telling Reverend J. Wright he was too over the top in his sermons, so he couldn't do the prayer at Obama's presidential announcement.
Well, look at it this way.
Why would Obama join a church like you?
He joins his church twenty years ago.
Now, twenty years ago, do we know what Obama's political ambitions were?
The Clintons say, yes, that in kindergarten he wrote essays on being president, and they tried to club his ambition with that.
But 20 years ago, do we really I mean I haven't read his book.
Maybe, maybe taught I'm sure he talks about it in his book, but 20 years ago, let's just let's I I don't want to guess here, because it's obviously in his book uh what he thought about his political future 20 years ago.
The why else write the book.
But if if he didn't, 20 years ago, if he wasn't thinking about a political career, if he was just thinking about, you know, good time community organization and so forth.
He joins this church for now, he has to have been, he has to have had a political future in mind.
Now, did that include being president?
You know, he he's half white and half black.
So he has to come, if he's gonna do politics in Chicago, he's gotta he's got to get a base.
What a better way to get a base and go to this church to make a church.
So he goes there, and uh, as it was suggested in some written piece last week, I forget who wrote it, but this is a way to establish his civil rights credentials, his street cred with that group that he's going to need support from uh in any political race.
But did he know 20 years ago, 10 years ago, that he would be running for president?
Or did he just think he would run for the state Senate, maybe the United States Senate, but did he know that he was going to run for president?
If he knew ten years ago that he was going to run for president, one might assume that he would get out of this church because he would have to anticipate that this stuff that's come out now would come out.
So we might want to safely uh guess that he had no intention of or never saw himself running for president.
That's why he didn't quit the church.
But despite all that, it still comes down to this.
Does he believe this stuff?
And that's what Ju Williams is saying.
We don't know.
We don't know.
No, we don't.
You can assume he doesn't, because he sounds reasonable in his speeches when they're written, are all fancy dancey, but look, Bill Salmon, I want to go back to Bill Salmon in his book entitled Meet the Next President, uh, talks about the socialist beyond socialist philosophy of Reverend J. Wright.
Wright advocated a redistribution of wealth that went beyond socialism.
The congregation was required to embrace economic parity and disavow the pursuit of middle classness.
Now, have we heard this from the Obama campaign?
Yes, we have.
When Rush, when?
When uh call your attention to Michelle My Bell Obama, who was in Ohio.
Remember what was the town that's uh having a metal block.
Zanesville or something like that.
Not Zanesville.
They might have been youngstone.
Some they they went to a town where the employment and the per capita income are well below the national average and so forth, and she told women in that audience.
Don't go to corporate law firms, uh, don't go into big business, don't go to work for corporations.
Uh and at the time, I said, okay, this is a nice little attack on Hillary, because Hillary had been a corporate lawyer and a board member at Walmart.
But at the same time, she's telling these people don't seek high-paying jobs.
Don't go into the helping industry, go in and change bedpans, become nurses and nurses' aides, library, all these other things.
She was she was advocating that people get themselves out of the so-called rat race, don't get into competition for income dollars, don't try to get on the middle class track that wasn't her words, but she's urging people to do exactly what the philosophy of Reverend Wright's church is, folks.
So Juan Williams' question, who is this guy?
We don't know is a good one.
Quick timeout, back with more after this.
And we are back, Rush Limbaugh, half my brain tied behind my back, just to make it fair.
Last year, April 30th, 2007, New York Times article.
Reverend Wright, who has long prided himself on criticizing the establishment, said he knew that he may not play well in Obama's audition for the ultimate establishment job.
Said Reverend J. Wright, if Barack gets past the primary, he might have to publicly distance himself from me.
I said it to Barack personally.
He said, Yeah, that might have to happen.
Well, now, this is April 30th, 2007, not quite a year ago.
Uh Reverend Wright, this is the second time now, Reverend Wright has been found or discovered to have said things that indicate Obama knew full well what Wright was saying.
So where does that take us?
That takes us to is Obama lying.
Which takes us to character.
Is he lying when he says he didn't know what was going on in the church when he wasn't there?
Is he lying when asked?
Well, didn't some of the congregation members call you up and say, Well, you should have heard what you missed on he said it never happened.
You know, one thing, Barack, I gotta help you out here.
If you're gonna try the lying routine, you're gonna have to get better at it because the standard for great liars has already been established.
Bill Clinton owns it, and you're not in his league, and you're gonna have to really work on this and practice if you're gonna try to go that route to get to the White House and to stay there.
Listen to this.
Donna Brazil this week with George Stephanopoulos.
She said, Donna, why this bubble up now, I guess, and why why didn't he get ahead of it before?
Because look, we're at a moment in a campaign where the kitchen saint strategy is in full force.
The vet is in full force.
I've known Jeremiah Wright and actually Jeremiah Wright is one of the more moderate black preachers.
Just go to a church down the street from my house, and I see put women coming with their hats on the other side of the head because they have been lifted up.
What?
Hats on the other side of the head because they have been lift.
This guy is one of the more moderate black preachers.
Mark Halperin, Time.com, and the round table discussion responded to this.
Here's why I think it matters a lot.
The only chance Hillary Clinton has of being the nominee, the only chance I believe John McCain has of beating Barack Obama if they face each other is if he is defined as an unacceptable, either general election candidate for the Democrats or president in a general election.
And this goes as the the biggest challenge I think he's faced on that front.
He's still introducing himself to the American people.
The right wing attack machine.
Cable news, talk radio, the internet went crazy on this, and they will not stop.
And so Brazil added this.
His narrative is someone who's trying to bring reconciliation.
And that generation uh wanted to basically talk about recrimination.
And I think that's the strong thing that Barack has to navigate.
I'm sure he sat in church when the preacher says something that would make white people uncomfortable.
I've sat in church when I've been uncomfortable.
Well, there's a difference between uncomfortable and rhetoric that is absolutely disqualifying.
Again, I'm thinking in the short term, do the Democrats want to send him into the general election as they're not.
He has repudiated and denounced those comments.
What else can he do?
He's not going to renounce the good Lord Jesus Christ.
So apparently we got we have a strategy here, folks, it's played out really well.
Obama embraces the guy, and they planned, they knew a year ago that if Barack Obama got this far, he's gonna have to distance himself from Wright.
Wright knew it, and Wright was cool with it.
So uh they've been waiting for this moment to happen.
They were prepared for it.
I don't think well uh Barack has not handled this well at all, but regardless, uh it is what it is.
People on the phones have been waiting for a while.
Let's see what's there to Roseburg, Oregon.
This is Jim.
Nice to have you here, sir.
Rush, I love you.
Uh mega 20-year listener dittoes.
Um listen, I called uh originally to talk about Operation Chaos.
Yes, which I love.
Uh, but I really want you to rethink this rush the vote for Hillary, because I I do take her at her word when she says, uh be careful what you wish for.
Rush, yeah, she said that.
But she said it with a smile out there, Jim.
Well, yeah, she did, of course, but we need Obama to be the nominee.
And uh we cannot let her get get near this thing.
I mean one thing I've learned is is not to underestimate the Clintons.
Uh true.
But let me ask you a question.
Sure.
Uh this Reverend Wright stuff.
Yeah.
All of a sudden it shows up on YouTube.
Now I know you can go buy his sermons.
His sermons are videotaped.
You can buy videotapes of his sermons.
So the Clintons have had to know the stuff's out there.
Why did they use it?
How come it takes somebody anonymously posting this stuff on YouTube for it to get discovered?
I mean, the reason I ask you the question is how come the Clintons are losing this if they are so invincible, if they are so unbeatable?
How come she's in this circumstance in the first place?
Why is it that we assume these people are are superhuman when they're not?
Well, uh you know, I do uh I uh like you, I question the timing.
Why they didn't use it earlier is beyond me.
I'm not really sure.
It's too f it's too late to affect uh the delegate count.
No, but they're they're looking at um everything, they think everything's gonna come down to the big Mo.
And I think that, you know, this is the time, and they knew this was the time.
Oh, and listen, can I can I comment on this, Reverend Wright thing?
Yeah, you gotta I got about a minute here, but I've got it I've got an exact parallel.
Uh there was a time in my life when uh my ex, when I was with my ex and she decided to become a switch hitter.
Uh play for the other team, play for another sport, if you get my meeting.
She became a lesbo.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And uh Well, that's horrible.
That's terrible.
That's horrible.
Well, hey, no, actually, it's the best thing that's ever happened to me.
But that's a different story.
I got you.
Yeah, yeah.
Now, I could have ridden uh a wave of anti-gay sentiment in my church that was incredible.
And my pastor decided they were going to publicly out her, denounce her, thus fanning the flames.
I've got ten seconds.
Did you tell him not to do it?
I went in there and I told him he better if he did, he'd better have a good lawyer and pack a big lunch because I would own their church and that character.
Okay.
And a few other things.
You know it, and I know it.
By the way, left out Nobel Peace Prize nominee in that uh list.
You can never take that away from me.
Get this.
Former Senator Lincoln Chafee, the lone Republican senator to vote against the Iraq war has called Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton, one of the Democrat Bush enablers who failed to stand up to the president.
In a new book, Chafee, who is backing uh Barack Obama, skewers Clinton and other Democrat White House hopefuls who said they were duped by Bush into voting for the war.
Being wrong about sending Americans to kill and be killed, maim and be maimed is not like making a punctuation mistake in a highway bill, Chafee writes.
They argue that the president duped him into war, but getting duped does not exactly recommend their leadership.
Helping a rogue president start an unnecessary war should be a career-ending lapse of judgment, in my view.
Lincoln Chafey coming out hard against Mrs. Clinton.
Continues.
Want more evidence of Operation Chaos.
Let me go through the list here.
From the uh Chicago Tribune on uh what was Sunday.
Obama prepares for full assault on Clinton, contender to take aim at Clinton's ethics.
Obama getting ready for a full assault, and so one of the things he's doing to get ready for the full assault is uh is is trying to unload controversies.
So on Friday, Obama held extended conversations with the uh the Chicago Tribune and the Chicago Sun-Times about his long-time relationship with indicted developer and fundraiser Tony Rezco.
Uh also Obama is gonna make uh public his tax returns for several years before 2006.
Documents he previously has provided to the Tribune and other news organizations.
Now, okay, so it's a big deal.
He comes out and he says that Rezco played a much bigger fundraising role uh for Obama than anybody knew.
Now he does this on a Friday.
A, that's you know, that's a document dump.
He does it also in the midst of the Reverend J. Wright controversy, so that was totally overlooked, but he did get it out there.
So what he's trying to do is unload controversies involving him, get it out there, uh because he is preparing a full frontal assault on Mrs. Clinton on ethics, on her lack of tax returns being released.
He's gonna attack the uh the donor list, the Clinton Library Massage parlor.
He is going to attack uh Mrs. Clinton hiding in the National Archives and at the Clinton Library Massage Parlor, her records when she met with the president when she was first lady and what she did, he's gonna start hammering all this, and so he thinks to start hammering, he's got to have his dirty wandry out there.
So hell's bells, folks.
It might well be that Obama put this preacher stuff out there himself.
Well, speculating here sturdily, don't you know and then there's Bill Clinton.
I don't know.
You're gonna have to listen to this.
This was on Good Morning America today.
Uh co-host Robin Roberts talking to Clinton in the lower ninth ward in New Orleans, and she said to him, President Clinton took a break from his hective campaign schedule to launch his global youth movement, but the politics politics of the day never too far from his mind.
We'll just chill out here and let all the voters have their say.
Uh my gut is it's gonna come out all right.
I think we need to let all the people vote.
I think it's important not to overreact here.
This has been a fairly mild election.
I just think that these things happen.
It's just politics.
It's not that big a deal.
Now, uh, you might say, Well, what's the big deal about that bite rush?
Why are you even wasting time playing it?
Let me explain.
I I mean, it it's it is it possible he has just undermined his own wife's candidacy and chances of victory with superdelegates.
When Bill Clinton says, you know, we just chill out here and let all the voters uh have to say my gut is gonna come out all right.
I th I think we need to let all the people vote.
Well, by the time all the people vote, we're not going to have a winner.
Now, what voters is he talking about here?
The assumption is that he's talking about average American Democrat voters, not the superdelegates.
But could he be uh those people are voters too, Limbaugh?
You're very smart.
You're very you know, I'm one of these people.
Limbaugh, I I I do this better than anybody else.
I look to you, I tell you something right to your face it isn't true without lying.
And that's what Obama can't do.
Uh when Obama's lying, you know he's lying, but when you when I'm lying, you know it, but you don't care.
In fact, you sit there and you marvel, you wish you could do it too, right.
So we don't know what he's talking about here, but it could be interpreted that he's just undermining his um his buds uh electoral chances with the elite superdelegates.
Here is Jerry, as we go back to the phones of Fort Myers, Florida.
Nice to have you here, Jerry.
Thank you very much for taking my call.
It's an honor to be on your show.
You bet, sir.
Thank you.
All right.
Uh, a couple of months ago, I was researching the various candidates' positions on on different topics.
You actually do that?
Yeah, yeah, I I I do that.
Uh you know, I try to take a look at uh you know at the field um and and just see what it is that that you know different people think and and and geez, just try to be informed, you know.
Do you do this with Democrats too?
Uh well, I was researching Obama in in this case.
Because you were thinking maybe of voting for Obama?
Oh God, no.
No, no, no, I'm not I'm I mean well I I'm I'm uh I'm genuinely curious.
Most most people spend most of their time researching people they hope to vote for, they want to vote for to find out if it's uh gonna be a waste of time or if they're if they're uh worthy of their vote.
But well, actually, you know, I I'm of the opinion probab uh the the uh the listener to your show, the the average or most probable listener is probably going to research the field simply in order to know what they're talking about.
Well, I'm glad to hear that you're doing that.
And then uh you're probably right about the uh audience of this program.
Well, what did you find when you researched Obama?
All right.
Well, I found that he had opposed legislation in Illinois, which came to be known as the guilt by association legislation.
Apparently he was successful in his opposition of this thing.
And what it would have done is made it uh a parole violation, or or at least illegal in in some capacity, for someone who is on parole to uh associate with a known gang member or criminal.
Okay, it would have made it a felony.
And his reasoning, and I'm I'm sorry, I don't have all the all the stuff in front of me.
Wait a minute.
Okay, so there was a there was a what was this called?
It was called the guilt by association.
The guilt by the guilt by association bill, and he voted against it.
Yeah, he was he was against this.
He was against penalizing people who were on parole for hanging around with racketeers.
You got it.
So he wanted he wanted people on parole to be able to hang around with the criminal element in a reasoning, his reasoning, I I find a parallel to the Jeremiah Wright situation in his reasoning at that time.
What he said uh in in concept, and I don't know his exact words, uh, so I don't have a quote, but what he said was that the black youth uh w were so intertwined with gang culture and uh in their everyday life uh and family and and just the people they know on the streets in school, that they would never be able to get away from uh from these associations, uh family members and such.
Oh, wait, hell Where is Al Sharpton on this?
You just had Barack Obama say that the whole black community is criminally disposed, convicted, and that it's a it it's impossible to inv avoid the criminal element when you're hanging around in a black neighborhood.
That's right.
He said he said that they had no choice, so they all get a pass.
Now by extension, a couple of things come up for me.
One, is it is this how he excuses himself from his own associations, from heirs, from the black liberation rhetoric, does he think that as a black politician yet he might be saying yeah because of my race or because of my business I can't avoid criminals.
I can't avoid 'em.
I so you know William Ayers the weather underground or Resco, uh Reverend J. Wright, I can't avoid these you can't hold me accountable.
So don't guilt by association is against the law in Illinois it'll be against the law in the Obama administration.
Exactly.
That's this is funny.
This is hilarious.
But again, note who it is that's insulting the black neighborhoods of America.
It's Barack Obama.
That's that's that's precisely that's precisely correct.
And so I mean I can't understand that his his vision for uh any sort of positive change if he believes that the black community is only united by their lowest common denominator what on earth does he think he's going to do as president except impose big government this is important because it gets back to what Obama's real view of the country is and we don't know.
We really we really don't know.
We know other people are writing these flowery speeches for him David David Axelrod we know that the preacher says what he says we know that Michelle Obama's out there parroting some of what the preacher says so it it these are these are valid questions but we've got to get this to Hillary.
Where did you find this in your research do you remember do you remember the source?
I don't remember the name of the website but I was googling uh Barack we can find it we can find it the guilt by association legislation we'll find it again we got to get this to Hillary see th somebody in a Democrat side needs to come out and say during this legislation debate in Chicago Barack Obama voted against the guilt by association bill because he said it's not possible for young blacks or any black to avoid the criminal element in their neighborhoods.
Baby we gotta get and welcome back Rush Limbaugh and the excellence in broadcasting network mechanicsburg Pennsylvania Billy next great to have you here sir hello hi Rush it's a pleasure to speak with you.
Thank you sir very much I I just want to uh give you a little bit of information Senator Obama has joined the uh Chaos Crusade with you in the um in the uh on the morning radio I heard him advertising today uh encouraging Republicans and independents to vote for him in the Democratic primary and then he informed us how we could go about that.
And he told you you got to register and before March twenty fourth we needed to change our registration uh by March twenty fifth.
And uh so I just want to let you know that he's uh he's joining in in your program.
Now let's go back grab audio sound bite number one this clown from uh from the Nation magazine was on uh it was on the C-SPAN's morning journal today uh and and he said that what I'm doing is uh constitutes violating the law so I guess now that means that Obama is too Rush Limbaugh for example has been urging his listeners to go and vote actually for Hillary on the theory that she would be easier to beat.
I think it's wrong uh and I think that basically you should vote on principle and not go and try to make trouble on the other side.
I I really don't think that's uh the the basically a good healthy way to exercise our democracy in some states these are state law issues but in some states it's illegal in Ohio for example um there is actually a good faith test.
If you are saying I am doing this in bad faith because I'm not really in this party that can be illegal uh and so people should know that and people should not break the law and it depends on the state party rules uh for those who are interested wired uh the website and magazine had a whole piece about this about how basically Rush Limbaugh who was urging that in Ohio, was effectively urging people, if they did it in bad faith, to break the law, and that's important.
All right.
So the Nation magazine is now going to have to lump Obama in with me as a lawbreaker.
Now, why is Obama doing this?
He's doing this to counter us, folks.
He's doing this because we're having so much success with Hillary crossovers of the Republican Party voting for her.
So Obama has joined the fray running ads on radio stations in Pennsylvania, urging Republicans to cross over vote for him to tell him uh and telling them how to do it.
How to register, when to do it, and the deadline is, I think a week from tomorrow.
Uh March 25th.
Well, I don't know about redoubling the efforts here.
Snartley, uh, I don't no no here's I'm not sure we have to redouble the efforts.
I think with Obama out there, I think Obama will redouble the efforts.
The Hillary supporters in the Republican Party will hear what Obama's doing.
And this will this I think they'll know of enough.
You realize every day there are 20 news stories on this.
I haven't even touched that stack here.
Let me start with it now.
I mean, there's no more informing of the voters that needs to take place.
They don't need marching orders.
They don't they're already revved up to do it.
This is from the York, Pennsylvania Daily Record yesterday.
Voters switch parties to prep for primary.
A large number of Republicans have changed affiliation to have a say in the 2008 outcome.
Sandra Reed of Gettysburg has been a Republican since she was old enough to vote.
But Tuesday, she and her husband Vernon went to the Adams County Courthouse and they became Democrats.
Yeah, we were registered Republicans who will always be Republicans.
But we want to help Hillary get the number one position for the Democrats, said Sandra Reed, who's 70.
So we're switching for the primary to vote for Hillary, then we'll switch back and we'll vote for McCain.
That's what the Reeds did.
They got the idea to influence a Democratic race from conservative radio talk show host Rush Limbaugh, she said.
Limbaugh recommended his listeners temporarily switch party affiliation to give Clinton a boost and uh vote out Obama.
Uh Monica Duttko, the Adams County elections director, has seen a steady stream of Republicans switching over to the Democrat Party.
While she does not ask why they're switching, some have told her that they're switching at the suggestion of Limbaugh.
You know, this is going to be with me and us folks for the rest of our lives.
This is in the Nexus database.
The you know, Operation Chaos, the rush the vote effect.
Even if, and I'm not saying this is the case, even if what we're doing is having no effect, the drive-bys and Democrats still think it is.
And so they're reporting it as though it is.
Now we know it is, but I mean we we could have probably pulled this scam even without it working.
Because this is what they fear from talk radio in the first place.
Yeah, we're having too much fun while we're doing this.
We're enjoying it.
Oh, picture McGreevy.
Did you hear about this little guy comes out and says, hey, I was the third guy in the trio?
Which means that Mrs. McGreevy had to know that uh, but we don't know whether the guy's being truthful or not.
Uh anyway, it's it is these Democrats at the top and their sex lives of proclivities so forth, sick.
Here is uh Michael Cohen.
More chaos, Wall Street Journal.
The divided Democrats.
While divisions among Democrats there are not as severe, a drawn-out nomination fight could leave the party critically short of the time it'll need to build a winning campaign.
Recent exit polls show that 20 to 30% of Democrat voters will be dissatisfied if their candidate loses a nomination.
Those numbers will likely increase if the battle between Mrs. Clinton and Mr. Obama intensifies, especially if it ends in a bitter squabble over delegates at the convention.
Story goes on to talk about how royal the party is.
We are doing this.
We are keeping hope alive.
We are keeping Hillary alive, and that is keeping the soap opera going.
And this the Democrats deserve this.
I mean, they believe in a segmented society.
They believe in pay catering to women and catering to blacks and catering to union people and so forth, and making each as big a victim group as they can.
They deserve this kind of division.
They are being devoured.
Oh, yeah.
Obama planning a major speech on race tomorrow, ladies and gentlemen.
