Radio Host Rush Limbaugh Continues to Create "Chaos"

Thursday May 8, 2008
Election years were made for talk radio and if there's one man enjoying himself, it's Rush Limbaugh. Limbaugh's "Operation Chaos" - a mock on-air campaign to disrupt the Democratic primaries has drawn much ire from the left. Now, the talk show host is putting the word out there for Obama.

Alexander Mooney at cnn.com writes, "He has publicly urged Republicans to vote for Sen. Hillary Clinton to keep the divisive Democratic nomination fight alive, but talk radio host Rush Limbaugh said Wednesday he really wants Sen. Barack Obama to be the party's nominee."

"'I now believe he would be the weakest of the Democrat nominees,' Limbaugh, among the most powerful voices in conservative radio, said on his program," quotes the article.

Rush needs to get over himself. The fact that he is encouraging people to alter primary results by playing this game is disgusting. He is so arrogant that it is hard to believe he can even believe himself. And he needs to put a more recent picture of himself everywhere - one where his head matches the size of his new body. I’ve listened to his Operation Chaos efforts for months now and find it deplorable.

I guess it’s all right for the leftest
owned media to choose the republican
presidential nominee,but don’t let someone else choose who the leftest
choose because only THEY know what is good for our socialist country.

The fact that he hasn’t been arrested for election tampering is the perfect reason why we need a change government. What I’d really like to hear out of these conservative talk show hosts is something about McCain for more then 20 seconds at a time. Please tell us why we should vote for your wonderful candidate?
