Time Text
Ha.
How you?
As Howard Dean said, all your Republicans in Tennessee, Alabama.
Pickup trucks, gun racks in the back.
Nice to have you with us, Rush Limbaugh, the Excellence in Broadcasting Network, the Limbo Institute for Advanced Conservative Studies.
Telephone number if you want to be on the program today, 1-800-282.
2882.
The email address is L Rushbow at EIB net.com.
Ladies and gentlemen, I want to start the hour here by restating the origins of Operation Chaos and the goal.
Because I am continuing to receive mail, email, uh, from people, you who listen to this audience, who are getting panicked and paranoid that Mrs. Clinton's going to end up winning this whole thing.
And that it will be my fault.
And that if that happens, you are never ever going to listen to this program again.
May we go back, uh, ladies and gentlemen, and restate the purpose of Operation Chaos.
It is important for all of you operatives to know it I cannot handle and will not tolerate dissension in the ranks.
And I will not tolerate less than a positive energetic attitude as we approach another battle.
Two more battles tomorrow.
The purpose of Operation Chaos was to politically bloody up Barack Obama when we started this, or started this right before the Texas and Ohio primaries in Cork Eye.
The Republican Party and Senator McCain had made it clear, had made it plain they were not going to be critical of Barack Obama.
At the time, Obama was sailing to what appeared to be a surefire victory.
Operation Chaos was formed for the express purpose of keeping the Democrat primary system alive as long as possible.
And who better to bloody up Obama politically than the Clintons?
He has to be bloodied up.
He has to be taken off that game of Messiah that he was on.
This has worked.
The purpose of Operation Chaos was not to see to it that either one of these two is the nominee.
We at Operation Chaos, your commanding officers, do not think we have that kind of power over this race.
That's not the objective.
The Democrat primary is going to turn out however it turns out.
It's going to turn out on the basis of the superdelegates and how they wish to go.
Now I have advised and addressed superdelegates on this program on numerous occasions last week, telling them that they should not fear what they are fearing, and that is going ahead and nominating Obama, because if they take it away from him, even though he's losing all these primaries, they will forever lose the black vote.
They will not.
They have done far more damage to black people in this country with 50 years of liberal Democrat policies than taking a nomination away from Obama would ever do, and blacks continue to vote Democrat.
They stay with the Democrat Party.
That's not a fear that the superdelegates need to have.
So please understand the purpose of Operation Chaos.
We're not we're we don't have a crystal ball here.
We have no idea who the nominee is going to be.
Really don't.
I mean, the uh the conventional wisdom is it's Obama's.
Okay, fine.
The purpose has been to keep this in its work.
You have to admit, Obama has now been taken off his game big time, and he hasn't gotten it back.
The drive-bys are circling the wagons trying to get him back on his game.
And he I saw his speech last night in Indianapolis.
I watched it's not the same Obama.
It wasn't a bad speech, but it wasn't the same Obama.
It was not there was nothing lofty in it, there was none of this messianic stuff, nothing about the future and hope and change.
He got issue specific and spent most of his time criticizing Senator McCain, who in turn has said he will not turn around and criticize uh Senator Obama.
So the purpose of this has succeeded beyond our wildest objectives.
Keep the primary going.
Uh if if these uh primaries tomorrow turn out, let's let's say that Obama wins them both, uh, even what by the smallest Of margins.
The drive-by media is going to be ecstatic.
Even the New York Times, which endorsed Hillary, has basically thrown her under the bus, along with Obama trying to throw right under the bus.
And they, for all intents and purposes, have chosen Obama.
Not on the editorial page, but the front page news reporters covering the campaign.
It is clear that the drive-by media threw out once Obama.
There are even Joan Walsh, who's the editrix of Salon.com has admitted we have the soundbite, that the most of the drive-by media hate Mrs. Clinton.
They despise her.
The uh the uh largest element of support that she's getting, if you can call it support, is via Operation Chaos.
What this tells me as your commanding officer is that had Operation Chaos not been implemented, this would have been over long ago, and we'd be dealing with a far different Obama than we are today.
An Obama that has not been damaged, an Obama that has not been brought down to Earth, an Obama that would not have been seen as just an average round of the mill politician.
And for whom do we have the thank for that?
None other than the Reverend J. Wright.
The Reverend J. Wright, he's just politician, is saying what he has to say, and that's what really burned Obama up, because Obama really does think he's special.
Obama think he is unique.
Obama thinks he is a cut above.
He's been brought down now.
Operation Chaos has as its objective exactly what has happened here.
It is not in our battle plan, sort of like Operation Desert Storm was not to take out Saddam.
Operation Chaos is not to determine who wins the Democrat primary.
It is to see to it, that it extends as long as possible, that the superdelegates have to make the choice in the process committing political murder, and that hopefully this goes on through the Democrat convention in August 25.
25, 6, the 25th through the 28th with the Republican convention following the very next week.
Now, last night, before Mrs. Clinton took to the stage, took to the podium in Indianapolis at their Jefferson Jackson dinner, she received news, and I am told this from inside sources, that uh Mrs. Clinton's people told her that uh her internals show her losing Indiana.
They told her this just before she took the stage and made the speech last night.
They don't think, according to the internal polls, the Clinton campaign that she has it in uh in Indiana.
Which tells me, when I when I heard this last night, and I trust the source, by the way, I don't think I'm being played here.
Uh I uh trust the source.
It simply told me last night that if Mrs. Clinton's own internals show her losing Indiana, it's time to give her a push today.
And so the orders were issued in our first hour from here at headquarters.
All of you who have registered Democrat, you Republicans who have registered Democrat, vote Hillary to keep this going.
Don't worry about who wins the nomination.
That's not the point now.
Uh, it is not something over which we have any control, but we can influence how long this thing gets dragged out.
Now, the Zogby poll is interesting.
Zagby was uh this is on their internet site yesterday, both Indiana and North Carolina.
In North Carolina, it's Obama 48, Clinton 39, so that's nine-point spread for Obama.
It should be pointed out that Obama has turned around and doubled back and gone back to North Carolina.
His original plan did not call for him to be in North Carolina today.
He was going to stick it out in Indiana, but he's doubled back and gone back there, which tells me that his internals are showing that it's tightening up there.
Now, this was supposed to be a massive landslide runaway because of the black vote.
But you also can't factor out, and Howard Dean didn't help things last night, because in North Carolina you got a bunch of good old boys.
You got the blue-collar white voters that Hillary can is is succeeding in getting, thanks to Operation Chaos in Pennsylvania, Texas, and Ohio, but Obama can't get them.
He didn't pull them off, and he spent a lot more money in North Carolina than he intended to.
In Indiana, it's a statistical dead heat.
Obama 43, Clinton 41.
This is as of May 2nd and 3rd in both states.
4341 is Obama a statistical dead heat.
Mrs. Clinton was uh was fought by the conventional wisdom to win this one.
However, her internals, prior to her speech last night said that uh it looked bad, that her people didn't think she could win, hence the orders from headquarters today.
Uh and and you might want to smirk at Zogby, but his numbers in Pennsylvania, he got the exact percentage.
Got the exact percentage right.
Uh, don't know if that'll hold true in Indiana once the votes are counted uh tomorrow night.
So if she doesn't win either, the drive-bys are just going to go orgasmic over Obama.
And you're going to hear calls for Mrs. Clinton to once again get out.
And the pressure will be brought on Bill Clinton to tell her it's over.
Can we can we stop this?
This is causing all kinds of problems in our party.
When they really don't want to put the pressure on their superdelegates, what does she stay in?
What does she do?
Uh does she stay in to try to dominate West Virginia and Kentucky?
Yes.
The one thing she is, you know, she's she's a fighter.
She is not a quitter.
She's not going away no matter what happens tomorrow.
Uh and I don't think there's going to be a blowout in either state.
We know we don't know.
We'll have to wait and see, but she's not going anywhere.
No, no, startly, I know what you're laughing about in there.
Don't even I'm not I'm not giving her a pep talk.
Snerdley thinks I'm giving her a pep talk, but she is a f for credit.
Have you forgotten who we're dealing with here?
We are dealing with the Clintons.
This is the thing.
this is the thing that she has lived for.
And it's the reason she put up with all of that excrement daily being married to that lug head that she's married to.
This was the payoff.
She's just gonna say, Congratulations, Obama.
You've run a really great race, and I'm heading back to the kitchen to make cookies.
You know they don't quit.
And with the drive-by media lining up all against them, that's just gonna that's gonna fuel them up even more.
Oh, way to go, Dawn.
Wait, wait ago.
Wait a minute.
This is why she thinks I have a crush on her, because I am I'm giving you honest political analysis.
Ladies and gentlemen, and more of that is right around the corner after this.
That didn't take long for PETA to demand all kinds of changes in a horse racing over what happened to eight bells at a Kentucky Derby on Saturday.
And who is PETA?
You know, the drive-by media runs an organization, uh, runs a story saying that PETA is seeking the suspension of who is PETA?
It's a couple of people with a fax machine.
Anyway, more on that as the program unfolds today.
Let's go to Indianapolis.
This is Brian.
And Brian, it says here that you are an election inspector in the uh in the primary tomorrow.
That is true.
Uh an inspector is in charge of a polling location.
So my job tomorrow is a polling location that has approximately 800 voters, and to make sure that the election goes in accordance with the law.
Now, are you guys, are you election inspectors uh assigned by party or you show up as nonpartisan?
By party.
And right now in Marion County, which is Indianapolis, the Democrat Party holds uh appointments.
But I've been doing this since 2000, and they've had problems getting reliable people, so they're still uh using a number of Republican old Republican inspectors.
And you are you are one.
And I am one, yes.
You're a Republican inspector.
I'm glad you called, actually, because there is some confusion uh about crossover voters tomorrow and the fact they might be breaking the law, uh, their efforts to intimidate them from actually following through and voting.
Could you explain to us what the rules are?
Exactly.
In fact, what I wanted to do was make sure that that people understand that are gonna be voting anywhere in Indiana what the process is.
The process is if they are challenged, it has to be by a Democrat in their precinct.
Somebody walking off the street unless they are a credential challenger, which you know, somebody has to give me those credentials and I have to recognize them as being a democratic challenger in that precinct.
But only another voter in that precinct can challenge them.
So in our location, we've got two precincts right next to each other.
Okay, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait.
I thought I heard just two confusing things.
You said somebody walking off the street, unless they're credential challenger, cannot challenge one of these voters, but you said another voter in the precinct can.
So you mean that if an Operation Chaos voter, a Republican crossover is in line, and right behind or right in front of them is a uh another voter, that voter can ask the Operation Chaos voter to be challenged.
Correct.
And challenged by somebody like you.
Um I cannot challenge them on party affiliation.
I can only challenge them on voter fraud.
Okay, so well let's let's not confuse this.
If somebody in line wants to challenge an Operation Chaos voter, what do they do?
They they step up and say I I wish to challenge that party affiliation.
To who did that but who do they say that to?
To us, to the election officials.
To you and the election official then what do you do once that has happened?
That person challenging must be on my poll list.
Okay, if the person is on your poll list, the person challenging is on the poll list, then what?
I have a form to fill out.
I have the challenger fill out why they are challenging.
Why are they re registering you mean Oh no the ultimate the challenger has to fill out a form why they are challenging.
Yep.
Okay, well I want to get to what happens to the person being challenged.
That person then responds on the backside and they have two choices.
One, you know, to mark that they voted in the last general election for a majority of uh in this case Democrat Party or if they didn't vote to say that they will vote for a majority of Democrats in the upcoming general election.
Okay, so it's sort of like on an election official election form they got to swear a loyalty oath.
Um I wouldn't put it that far sounds like the I don't know I mean it's there's an Indiana code that that repeats all of these words but yeah I I'm not being an attorney I don't know what uh the penalty of statute is but again as you have stated multiple times how are they going to prove it.
But there's one more important point that I'd like to make if I could there are a number of reasons to challenge a voter other than party affiliation and as we heard from the Supreme Court our ID law now is is valid and if someone doesn't have proper ID and still wants to vote, I give them what's called a provisional ballot.
It's segregated and it's dealt with after the election day by the county election board a challenged voter on party grounds does not vote a provisional ballot.
They vote a regular ballot.
This is important for Operation Chaos operatives to understand.
If a democ and I would expect uh would tell you Operation Chaos voters tomorrow to fully expect to be challenged they're looking for you.
This caller Brian in Indianapolis is a poll watcher he's an elections official you are going to be challenged and the point he just made is crucial you after having been challenged can vote.
You will not be given your vote is not provisional it will count and you fill out the form after you've been challenged and you say whatever it says that you've got to say because the only way that they can find out who you voted for is if you tell them and it's none of their business you don't have to tell anybody who you voted for, correct?
And that's the law.
That's the law.
All of this is the law so this is basically an intimidation factor.
Don't tell me the Democrats don't think there's anything to Operation Chaos.
We know there is because they're mounting this kind of intimidating challenge.
This is who these people are, folks.
Brian, I'm really glad you called and explained this.
Is there anything else people need to know before you go?
I just wanted to make sure that people don't vote a provisional ballot if they're charged on political party grounds, that they vote a regular ballot, because I have seen confusion.
The procedures are very well documented, very well laid out.
They give us a handbook.
We've got a handbook from the Secretary of State as well with all of these things in it.
But I have watched inspectors in other precincts on different occasions do it right.
wrong.
On I want to make sure that people going in to vote in Operation Chaos know what the process is so they can very very politely say I believe I vote a regular ballot.
I don't vote a provisional and when they go and look up the procedures that's exactly what it is.
I appreciate your call Brian I will make sure that these uh rules are passed on to our operatives uh as the program unfolds for the remainder of the afternoon.
Thanks very much for taking your time it's it's a pleasure I've uh been listening to you for seventeen years, ever since I was in college, and uh it's uh quite an honor to actually speak to you.
Thank you, sir.
I appreciate that.
Uh let me just let me just reiterate.
If you are challenged, if you're an operation chaos voter, if you're a Republican that's registered Democrat for the first time tomorrow.
And if somebody in line challenges you and you should fully expect this.
If you're challenged on party affiliation, do not let them make you vote provisional.
You can vote regularly, not provisional ballot.
It will count.
Don't let them intimidate you.
If you show up and you know they got the new voter ID law.
If you're challenged on ID, that's a different matter.
They will take a provisional ballot there.
Do not be talked out of this tomorrow.
Okay, we are back, and as usual, uh Rush Limbaugh meeting and surpassing all audience expectations on a daily basis.
I want to speak a little bit more about this intimidation that will no doubt happen in Indiana tomorrow as Democrats attempt to challenge you, Operation Chaos Voters.
We've been through this before.
There are a number of things that you can do to avoid being challenged.
Here is a partial list.
Do not bathe tonight and do not shave if you are a man.
Wear jeans.
Sandals, flip-flops, birkin stocks.
Uh another thing you can don't tuck your shirt tail in.
Another thing you can do is hold your head up very high so that you appear to be snooty and elitist.
And looking down on everyone else.
Act confident, do not act afraid, do not act like a suspect.
Act like a Democrat.
Keep talking about how much you love Obama.
How you can't wait to vote Obama.
Now, one thing you have to consider, you people vote by precinct.
So you probably are going to be showing up at the polling place with some people who will know you.
Your neighbors, some people who will recognize you.
Those people know where your ideals lay.
Some of your friends may know that you're an Operation Chaos operative.
Some may not.
So will your neighbors try to go in when their fellow neighbors are at work?
This is another thing that you can do, folks, and make sure do not, you know, most Republicans in the primaries in the election vote before work.
They get up very early and they go in before work.
This is another thing you can do.
Vote at 10 o'clock in the morning to two o'clock in the afternoon, skipping the lunch hour.
When other people are working.
Any number of things that you can do here to avoid being challenged, but you still have to go into this tomorrow, fully expecting uh to be challenged.
Now, if you get challenged and these poll directors, these uh uh poll workers uh challenge you to have to say that you voted majority democrat or republican in the past and will do so in the future.
One of the things you have to keep in mind they're doing is disenfranchising moderates.
Because what's a moderate supposed to answer to this?
You know, a moderate by definition votes for anybody and everybody, and it's never a straight party ticket.
Any number of ways that you can go about this, ladies and gentlemen, have fun with it.
But whatever you do, do not be deterred, do not be intimidated, because at the end of all this, nobody is allowed to know how you voted once you went into the booth.
Carmel, Indiana, this is Carl.
I'm glad you waited, sir.
Welcome to the EIB network.
Hi, Russ.
I'm a senior in high school, and Bill Quinton visited it.
Really?
When when was Clinton there?
Uh, this was about a week ago.
Monday.
And girls safe?
What?
Girls safe?
Uh, hopefully.
Uh this is interesting because in Carmel, we're a very staunch Republican area, and let's put it this way whoever wins Republican primary in this area wins the general election.
So it's clearly him pandering to Republicans are going to go over and vote for Hillary.
He said who wait a minute, who said it's pandering?
Well, no, this it's obvious because the region that he my high school where he came to, it's a very Republican area.
Oh, you mean for Clinton to come in there?
Yes.
Well, I think I think no, I think if I understand you right, I think what Clinton's doing is simply his own command.
Clinton doesn't like to take orders from people, he's just doing his own operation chaos.
I mean, there's no reason for Republicans to vote for McCain.
So he's heading in there and trying to persuade you and others to uh to vote for Hillary.
Is that is that basically what's happening?
Yeah.
So he's he's joined Operation Chaos.
Yeah, that's what he's been doing.
I thought it was very interesting that he would come to such a Republican area.
Well, there's no question, this is this is just another indication of the the just impressive is all get out impact of Operation Chaos.
Tony in Chicago, thank you for waiting, sir.
You are on the EIB network.
Rush um Windy City Ditto's from the town that invented modern day election fraud.
Thank you, sir, very much.
I had one quick comment to make.
What's that?
Well, you have been on the uh drive-by media for weeks now about Operation Chaos.
I thought after Super Tuesday, you were irrelevant.
What happened?
Oh, no, it wasn't after Super Tuesday.
It was after the Republican primary in Florida that I was irrelevant.
That's right.
That's why I listened to you to be Because my man was Romney.
I said on the Thursday of the uh of the weekend before the Florida primary, I said, okay, time to vote, time to vote, Romney, and of course McCain won there, and so the drive-by is gleefully uh wrote stories of my irrelevance and that the day has passed and it's long gone.
This is a cycle.
I mean, this has been happening since I started on this show in 1988.
Do they not remember that?
Uh do they not remember it?
Of course they remember it.
They're just trying to make it stick.
Oh.
Now I do uh have one comment to make, if I may.
Sure.
You converted me from a moderate liberal Democrat right after college because my first job I had to drive around a lot.
Congratulations, sir.
And then I caught on the EIB network.
Poor kid, full need student in college, food stamps the whole bit.
Now I'm a conservative Republican.
And what are you doing for a living?
Oh, I work in the transportation industry, but I also spent twelve years working in higher education.
Wow.
So um is that when you were a a lib?
No, no, I was a libr uh uh just after college.
And then uh it took me all of a one summer to figure it out of listening to you.
And then I worked I was about the only conservative uh in the cafeteria while I was working in higher ed.
Have you uh has do you know of any of your friends to whom this has happened?
Oh, uh a couple, not not many though.
Oh, they won't admit it.
How if they do, they won't admit it.
Well, that's typical.
That means they probably haven't, because once you see the light, as you have, you want to do what you have done here.
You want to call the home office and proclaim it.
You want everybody to know that it's happened to you.
Right.
And one thing I'm proudest of is my family and I, my brothers and I, we have broken the cycle of democratic induced poverty.
Well, God bless you, sir.
I think it's I think it's great to hear and I appreciate your taking the time to um to hear about this from Chicago, no less.
That's Tony, I appreciate it.
All right, folks, you have to go to commercial break here pretty soon.
A couple things I need to tell you, I got a call this morning from uh from our old friend over at the Fox News channel, Martha McCallum.
Uh and they ask frequently for me to appear on Martha's show, which happens to air at the same time mine does.
Uh she's on the air right now from one to two Eastern Time on the Fox News Channel.
And I routinely tell them I'd love to, but it's just unless we do a full-fledged simulclass like simulcast like we did that one time, would we it it does it's not gonna work.
But they were relentless.
And so their hook is Hillary Clinton saying that she's known for a long time that I have a crush on him.
They want to ask me about this and some other things.
So I agree to do it.
Now the the original plan is, well, the plan is uh we go to commercial break here from about a minute and a half.
In that commercial break, I am then going to start the interview on Fox.
Because what I'm gonna say there, you have already heard.
You don't need it repeated.
It's a three and a half minute break, and I and they get after telling me they wanted to talk about Hillary and the crush, I then got four other questions they said they wanted to ask.
Which is not possible to squeeze.
I mean, I'm barely going to be able to answer one question in three and a half minutes.
So what's probably going to happen here, and I just I just want you people to know this, after our commercial break and the bumper starts, probably will still be in the final stages of the discussion with Martha McCallum on her show.
So at that point, uh after the commercial break and the bump, we will JIP join in progress the remaining moments of my uh conversation with Martha McCallum during her show.
Uh but again, it's stuff you've all heard uh countless times, but I just wanted to alert you to it.
Uh so in case we don't squeeze it all in in a commercial break.
By the way, have they established contact with you and everything's fine?
Okay, good.
It's a good thing I asked that before committing to this.
How's the connection sound?
Iffy.
Uh no, folks, that's another thing.
The audio connection, we do phoners with the Fox News channel.
There's a lot of reverb and line noise on it and so forth, so and I warned them of this too.
But uh anyway.
Forty-five cents.
Yeah, I understand that.
Everybody now shouting at 45 seconds for I know I'm the one that coordinated this.
Just it's you know, it's never gonna stop.
It's never gonna stop.
Everybody else thinking they can do this better than I can do.
Be right back.
Don't go away.
We now join Rush, being interviewed by Martha McCallum, already in progress.
So Martha, you are now on the EIB network with your final question.
Hi there, thank you.
Hi, everybody.
Uh Russ, let me ask you one more question.
Do you ever think that you might have created a monster in this situation?
Do you think that Hillary Clinton is strengthened by all of this, and that she could then beat John McCain in November if she's the nominee.
A lot of people in my audience I would say a lot, but I do get some emails from people who are a little worried that we've revived Hillary here, and there's a lot on our side of the aisle.
There is a tremendous amount of fear of the Clintons, and I keep telling people, look, she puts her pants on one leg at a time like all the other guys.
There's no reason for all of this fear.
She has been revived.
I haven't created a monster.
We don't have the ability to choose their nominee.
Remember, their nominee is going to be chosen by the superdelegates, not by Democrat voters.
Then it's up to McCain to beat her if she gets the nomination.
I frankly think Obama's gonna get this.
That's the point of this has been to extend it exactly as it has been extended, have these people go at each other's throats.
Uh, you know, Obama's now been bloodied up, he's no longer this messianic candidate.
Uh she already has half the country that hates her according to disapproval numbers.
So we've we've succeeded here even beyond our wildest objectives.
All right, Rush.
Very interesting as always to talk to you.
Thanks for letting us join yourself for a little bit and hi to all your viewers.
Have a great show, and we'll talk to you soon.
Thank you, Martha.
Thank you, Russ.
Take care.
You bet.
Martha McCallum uh of the uh live desk at the Fox News Channel.
I warned you people that we'd be getting to the last question uh because I knew we wouldn't be able to squeeze it in in all three and a half minutes.
Now back to the phones to Anita in Dallas.
I'm glad you waited, Anita.
Welcome to the EIB network.
Oh, we lost Anita.
Oh, darn it, Anita was a Democrat.
She was gonna tell me what a great job uh that we are doing vis-a-vis Hillary.
Is she a Hillary supporter, Mr. Snerdley?
Is that why she oh she's that explains it.
Uh in case, ladies and gentlemen, you missed audio soundbite number eight.
In case you missed this, Friday night, CNN's election center, Campbell Brown talking to Ariana Huffington of the Huffing and Puffington Post and the Washington Times Tara Wall.
This piece is worth it alone to hear Ariana Huffington pronounce Operation Chaos.
At any rate, Campbell Brown said to Ariana Huffington, you believe that there's some troublemakers out there, don't you?
Well, it's not really a matter of opinion or belief.
It's a matter of listening to Rash Limbo, who has launched Operation Chaos, and he suspended it for a day while he thought maybe Obama was in real trouble, but he has reinstated it.
And he's urging um his ditto heads to go and vote for Hillary Clinton because he wants to prolong uh this primary.
He wants ideally a win for Hillary Clinton.
And uh that so that is that could have an interesting uh impact on the race.
I don't know too many self-respecting Republicans that are actually going to vote for Hillary Clinton.
I mean, I think some of that has got to be a little bit of dog and pony just to make a point.
Well, you know, Rash Limbo has a lot of followers.
They may not be Self-respecting or respected by others, but nevertheless, they could very well go and do whatever Ash Limbo wants them to do.
They could be challenged.
Indiana has some quirky rules about challenging people who do not vote for the other party in good faith.
So it could be a long time before we know the results.
Ariana Huffington, even going to the point of pointing out that we suspended at an operational pause for one day and then reinstated Operation Chaos.
A quick timeout, ladies and gentlemen.
We'll be back after this obscene EIB profit center break.
Hey, welcome back, folks.
I want to pick up on something that I mentioned to you earlier in the program and on Fox just now with uh Martha McCallum.
The drive-by's, in fact, in the in the uh stacks of stuff I have today, the drive-bys have already circled the wagons around Obama.
They think he's weathered this right stuff, and now they're back in love with him, and it's just it's a full-fledged orgy.
It's Obama everywhere, puff piece after puff piece after puff piece.
Uh, and if if uh he happens to win these two primaries tomorrow, it doesn't matter if the margin's close, it's going to get even worse.
I just want to warn you.
To show you how bad it is out there for the drive-bys in Mrs. Clinton, and to show you how things have changed.
Sunday morning on CNN's reliable sources, the uh the host Howard Kurtz spoke with the editrix of Salon.com, Joan Walsh, about the Reverend Wright.
And Howard Kurtz says, Do you think one of the reasons that rights become such a huge issue for the media is that we're now in a period where journalists are being far more critical of Obama because he's in political trouble.
I was struck when I got to Iowa and New Hampshire in January by how our media colleagues were just swooning over Barack Obama.
That is not too strong a word.
They were swooning.
And reporters, white reporters, black reporters, reporters of every race, we want to get beyond racism in America.
So he was inspiring.
I understood it, they're human, they responded.
The downside, though, is that they hate hate Hillary Clinton, most of them.
Hate is not too strong a word.
And so there was such a double standard.
Well, most of them think she did.
Most of them, that may be unfair.
And I agree with you that uh there's uh that a lot of journalists just saw Obama as a uh a vehicle to a post-racial society.
Yeah, well, how phony was that.
Obama never has been about post-racial.
That's the purpose of Operation Chaos.
Obama was riding this wave of of untouchableness.
Uh, and he was said to be not even a racial candidate.
And when the the civil war erupted in this party.
Everything about this party is racist.
From the Clintons playing the race card to everything else.
Now, I don't doubt the drive-by's loved Obama, but it's not because they're pro-racial.
They're just they're just they just want to see black people do well.
That's what I'm telling you.
Because of guilt, these are civil rights activist liberals.
And it's going to make them feel better if Obama does well.
But the real interesting thing here is Joan Walsh talking about the abject hatred for Hillary.
Now, when did that happen, folks?
I mean, you think back to the 90s, and you think back to Mrs. Clinton's time in the Senate, and you think back to when she was expected to be coronated.
And I first suspected something was awry when they started the puff pieces on Obama around a year ago.
And the puff pieces on Obama were just, you know, building him up with with no substance whatsoever.
Why is the media doing this?
Remember, we all talked about it.
And our theory was that the drive-bys just needed some excitement.
And the theory back then was that actually Obama is just a challenger to show, allow Hillary to show she can overcome opposition, that she can overcome adversarialness because or adversity, because there was this clear path to the nomination for her a year ago.
Do you understand how?
I mean, it's slam dunk.
It was going to be a coronation.
And then out of the blue comes Obama, and we're cynical about it.
And we're saying, nah, this is this is just so Hillary can, you know, show she can do well in a fight and overcome these obstacles and so forth.
Uh it appears that we were wrong in that analysis.
It appears that there has been a lot of pent-up energy of dislike and resentment.
And I think a lot of it is that the drive-by's uh maybe not a vast majority, but a clear majority of the drive-by simply got tired of pimping for these people and covering for them throughout the Lewinsky stuff and the Paula Jones stuff and the Jennifer Flowers stuff.
And here comes this clean and pure as the wind-driven snow, new guy that can make them get rid of their guilt over America's sin of slavery and so forth.
But now Joan Walsh, they all hate her.
What does that say?
We'll take a brief time out.
