Rush Limbaugh's "Operation Chaos" has Failed.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8ngiG4YbRR8

Despite your patently un-American attempt to thwart the will of the American People, you failed.

You, the ugly face of Clear Channel Radio, are a colossal failure Rush, and now you are shooting your own GOP candidate in the back.

You are a failure as a republican.

You are a failure as a man.

You are a failure as an American.





McCain Not A Real Man, Says Limbaugh
By JEFFREY FELDMAN
Posted June 6, 2008 | 12:35 PM (EST)

(snip)

Rush Limbaugh -- who likes to dress up as a general and command his listener's to foment political violence -- took time out this week to besmirch McCain's maleness, wondering aloud during if the Republican candidate could really count as "a man" in the wake of his speech in New Orleans.

(snip)

For playground-soldier Rush Limbaugh, when a Republican gives a speech that questions the effectiveness of government, that forfeits said Republican's status as "a man." What would have earned McCain his "I'm a man" badge? Blaming the destruction of New Orleans on liberals, of course (as if you had to ask).

But after reading that New Orleans speech by McCain -- the one that has been widely ridiculed in the media since he delivered it on Tuesday -- I noticed that McCain was actually trying to do something astounding. He was trying to use that speech (1) to bring Reagan-esque themes into the election and (2) to reframe this election as a referendum on "government," not a referendum on "Bush" (e.g., to undercut the Obama campaign's framing strategy).

(snip)

No wonder McCain gets called a sissy by Limbaugh when he tries to channel Reagan rather than bash Bush -- because Limbaugh has long since left the Reagan legacy behind in favor of the new violent rhetoric of the right.

And the irony does not stop there, because in all likelihood, Limbaugh's bashing of McCain will bully him into conformity -- will goad him into retooling his campaign into some kind of "liberals will kill you" message. The paradox, of course, is that this will mean that an actual war veteran - -who survived torture and still bears the scars of that experience on his body -- will likely allow his manhood to be questioned by a drug addict who cross-dresses as a general and equates salivating on cigars with public service. Rush Limbaugh, the quintessential military-dodging conservative coward, in other words, will humiliate the war veteran in this election.

13. From freeperland:
To: MNJohnnie
Rush was not successful getting Clinton the nomination but he'll work even harder to defeat McCain. Get conservatives feeling good about staying home in Nov. and teaching republicans a lesson. Think of his monologue if we have a President Obama.

Not successful? I'd say that's a euphemism for... FAILED.

22. I about choked on my morning coffee on the way to work the other morn
when I cut in to Rush to see what filth he was up to and heard him ragging on McCain -- at which he ended with "...and Democrats are not enthusiastic about their candidate either..." or some such crap. Oh, no, not at all, only 75,000 people showed up recently to see and hear and support Obama, but we're not enthusiastic, limpballs, no, not at all. :eyes:

At a minimum, I get a kick out of how he and Hannity (the only two I catch on am these days because they're on when I'm driving to and from work) are so breathlessly desperate -- they're gonna blow a gasket any day now! :rofl:

k'd and r'd

23. Oh, I don't know
he certainly succeeded in driving a lot of Dems into a frenzy, pitting both sides against the other.

Ignoring him might've been a better response.

24. It was all an ad lib by Limbaugh anyway...
When the dittoheads found out that he didn't know what the hell he was talking about, he had to make up some type of excuse. So he called it "chaos". What he really meant to say was that he was talking out of his ass - whistling past his hemorroids.

You know, the one that got him out of being tortured in Vietnam like John "less than a man" McCain.

29. There was no 'operation chaos'
Limbaugh attempted to step in and take ownership of the Democratic primaries, no more, no less. Some Democrats were willing to give it to him, for partisan purposes, but it was never more than a drug fueled fantasy.

Don't diminish his failure. :D

Operation Chaos should not be diminished.

36. But he's a success at being a media entity, for which he is paid more than handsomely...
If indeed that word can be used in proximity to Limbaugh. I don't think he ever really cared whether one or the other Dem candidate was in there. He'll be turning on that dime anytime soon if he hasn't already. And in the meantime...it's just more bumper-stickers, ball caps, t-shirts, lunch pales and jack boots for his briny/stank little ocean of ditto heads.

Until he is thrown in jail for the antics he perpetrates, it is all just a media circus
