I assume the img1.fark.net tag is for yourself, dumbass submitter.

Can't you see Limbaugh's cute little, *cough*, strategy?

 
eddyatwork [TotalFark] 2008-05-07 09:27:06 PM  
It's their best strategy. Play on the racism that exists in the US. It's here, but people won't admit it.

"I now believe he would be the weakest of the Democrat nominees realize that Hillary doesn't have a chance so I'm changing my game plan," Limbaugh, among the most powerful voices in conservative radio, said on his program.

Christ. I doubt even his most illiterate listeners are going to buy this bullsh*t.

You're kidding right? Some of those people don't know what to talk about during the day if he doesn't spoon feed them his particular brand of hate.

The nasty fight between Bush and McCain in 2000 didn't damage Bush's campaign against Gore. The nasty fight between Obama and Hillary won't damage Obama's campaign against McCain, it will strengthen it.

 
rppp01a 2008-05-07 09:37:42 PM  
Damn. He's gained a lot of weight. I don't think it is because he ties half his brain behind his back. I don't think that's his brain, either.

If only there were some way to vote against Rush Limbaugh.

 
robsul82 [TotalFark] 2008-05-07 09:46:05 PM  
So Rush is going to pretend one of the stated goals of this, making Hillary the nominee, never was one and instead act like Obama's weaker than Hillary now?

Brilliant, pillpopper. Brilllllllliant.

 
CravenMorehead 2008-05-07 09:49:35 PM  
His real goal as stated by Olbermann this evening will be revealed when Obama beats McCain. That goal is to give the Republicans 4 years to heal and come up with a new candidate to beat Obama.

 
abuttino [TotalFark] 2008-05-07 09:56:02 PM  
Greenlighting stories about this asshole makes it look like news.

This guy doesn't matter even if he thinks he swayed yesterdays Indiana Vote.

Dumbass tag is definitely good for subby for making this guy news, again.

Well, of the polls I've seen, she's currently doing better vs. McCain than Obama.


Yeah, because she wins both Ohio and Florida in them. You really think that had a chance of holding for six months? Come on.

It would appear to be ncreasingly unlikely. The 40 year-old coalition of actual (Goldwater) conservatives and radical regressive theocrats looks to be dying (or on life support).

Domionism has peaked and flamed out, leaving nothing to take its place.

I hope.

And she has a lot of experience against the GOP attack machine. This race however, will be the first for Obama that he's faced any sort of real opposition. If Obama was a clearly stronger candidate, the Democratic machine would have pulled Hillary out her misery long ago. But they're still sitting on their hands-waiting until they HAVE to make that decision. Perhaps they are still holding out hope that some sort of catastrophe befalls Obama's campaign, and they get the greenlight to ignore the popular vote and get to select who they perceive as the stronger candidate for the general election...

 
Sgygus [TotalFark] 2008-05-07 10:09:50 PM  
I believe Limbaugh called his strategy "Operation Chaos". He's sill working it.

No, as in national polls pitting McCain vs. Obama and McCain vs. Hillary. The latest poll I heard on the radio (a day or two ago) had Hillary beating McCain and Obama losing.

Obviously they won't necessarily hold, but it's interesting nonetheless.


NYT-CBS: Obama leads McCain by 11 points, Clinton leads McCain by 12 (new window)

Not exactly.

Wow. Do you really believe that, or are you just trying to convince yourself?

You really think there's a chance in hell Clinton could win the general? That she's a stronger candidate than Barack "I have more campaign funds and more primary votes than anyone on history, ever" Obama?

Any poll right now is meaningless. Once the Dems have a candidate you will see real numbers, and they won't be pretty for the republicans.

F*ck Rush Limbaugh. His commentary is neither entertaining nor is it qualified or insightful.

He just got diagnosed with Parkinsons disease.

It really is quite hilarious watching republican shills trying to give "advice" to democrats for the upcoming election...

You shortsighted bungholes had everything and you blew it... big time. I'm not a huge fan of democrats, in general (though I do like Obama),but it's going to fun watching the republicans gnashing their teeth and pulling out their hair for at least the next four years...

Truthfully, I don't think either one of them is the slam-dunk the Dems should have in this election. Hell, if they had nominated Biden, Richardson or even Edwards, we wouldn't even be talking about about it. And I don't disagree that Obama is popular-at least among Democrats. But whether or not "flyover" country is prepared to put their bitterness, bibles and guns aside-that's another story entirely. The DNC party elders know this. They also know that Hillary has the fortitude to run a vicious, bloody race. Obama? He's still an x-factor. Maybe he does. Or maybe there's another Rev. Wright or Bill Ayers out there. Or worse. With Hillary-they know what they're getting.

This is why primary elections should not allow crossover voting.

The Republicans have their nominee. So they can fark up the Democrats by voting for whichever candidate they believe will be weaker against McCain.

But they better watch out. In the future, there will be campaign years when the Democrats will have their nominee while the Republicans are still fighting it out.

Was there ever, outside the White House, and era of Bush-Cheney conservatism? National Review (an actually intellectal source, unlike Coulter/Rush, which are there for laughs) never seemed to like them.

 
bibli0phile 2008-05-07 10:56:30 PM  
My interest is not in what percentage of Democratic voters cast their ballot for whom, but rather the number of Democratic voters. I remember hearing after my state's primary that they had a massive turnout of Democrats. (Republican voters were about the same as prior years.) I don't think that this can be completely attributed to "Operation Chaos".

What implications could this increase in Democratic voters have for the election?

 
Obscure 2008-05-07 10:57:25 PM  
PascalsGhost: Is the racist white mid-America ready to vote for a brother.

1) Obama is half "white mid-America" himself.

2) Racists aren't going to vote for the dem in any case. (Although didn't McCain father an illegitimate black child? I keed!)

The issue, as always, is swing voters.

Actually, I'm going to sit back & watch all the shiat happen. No matter who wins things are going to get worse. I'll enjoy the fact that the Dems will get the blame for it. I'd rather Hillary fark things up, but if Obama does it, better for the Repubs in 2012. Maybe by then we'll have decent candidates.

Rush and Rush heads, operation chaos is a joke. This is the reason why people hate you.

 
Fuzzyshrimp 2008-05-07 10:58:21 PM  
I'm for Obama. As Wanda Sykes said on Jay Leno one night, "How you gonna blame the man when you are the man?". When Obama gets elected, all the excuses and whinings are over. Welcome to the real world.

Bullshiat. National Review just started "not liking" them like every other right-wing dickhead in the country.

 
DrForrester 2008-05-07 10:59:27 PM  
You are all just jealous of Rush because his followers are so damn stupid they'll follow him through three divorces, drug abuse, and getting caught buttfarking little Dominican boys, just because he makes shiat up that helps them justify their Republican-fueled hatred for all people non-white, non-male and non-hetero. Admit it.

You must be new. This has happened before. The difference this time is that the Dems see it happening blatantly and they're whining about it.

You just proved every republican who said that Obama is going to be held to a lower standard because of his ethnicity right. It is a little early to pull the race card don't you think? To imply that the major reason that citizens would vote against Obama is his race works against any minority running for office in the future. If you look at the left, people like Clarence Thomas, Condi Rice and Colin Powell have been victim of some of the most blantantly racist attacks possible, defining them as Oreos or Uncle Toms, or race traitors. To say that some one needs to subscribe to a particular political ideology becuase of their skin color is to judge them on nothing but pigment, this is the definition of racism. I think there is much more racism on the left than the right. Which party has a former Klansmen in their ranks? (here is a hint, he is a senator from West Virginia)

Voting against Obama does not make anyone racist, it just means they do not want another liberal in the white house. Voting for Obama becuase of his race would be racist.

It has never had an effect on this level.
