Rush Limbaugh says his “Operation Chaos” played a significant role in helping Hillary Clinton achieve her 10-percentage-point victory in the Pennsylvania primary this week.

Operation Chaos is the leading radio talk-show host’s campaign to urge his conservative listeners to cross party lines to vote for Hillary Clinton. Limbaugh says the aim is to keep her in the race so she can continue battling Barack Obama and create chaos in the party, thereby aiding the Republicans this November.

“Were it not for Operation Chaos, Obama could win this by winning the primary process. But he can't now. Nor can she,” Limbaugh said on Wednesday.

“Both of these candidates need unelected superdelegates to be the nominee.

“So, unelected party hacks . . . are gonna choose the nominee. All the people that have voted in these primaries up to now will not be a factor. The nominee will have been delivered by party hacks, unelected superdelegates, and that is a dream come true for Operation Chaos."

On Tuesday, Rush told listeners as voters went to the polls: “Operation Chaos is succeeding exactly as planned and meeting all objectives.”

He pointed to the tens of thousands of voters in Pennsylvania who changed registration from Republican to Democrat in the weeks leading up to the primary and suggested they were “Operation Chaos operatives.”

Following Clinton’s win, the McClatchy Newspapers reported: “One out of 10 voters said they'd changed their party registrations so they could vote in the primary, according to exit polls. They broke for Obama by a margin of nearly 2-to-1.

“Yet late-deciding voters — including those who'd long been registered Democrats — broke heavily for Clinton. One possible explanation was the flood of controversial news about Obama in recent weeks, as well as his defensive performance in a debate last week.

“Another possible ingredient in the mix was mischief: Popular conservative talk-show host Rush Limbaugh for weeks urged his loyal listeners to register as Democrats to vote for Clinton and prolong an increasingly harsh battle that might benefit the Republicans.”

On Wednesday Limbaugh told listeners Obama could secure the nomination by acknowledging the success of Operation Chaos. "What Obama has to do is go out and say this [Hillary] win is artificial and this win is phony because of Operation Chaos,” he said.

“He needs to go out there and say, 'Why in the world is everybody taking this seriously? Rush Limbaugh had his listeners register as Democrats for one day to go vote for Hillary to prolong this. We're letting Limbaugh get away with making our party look like it's in a total sewer and a mess. This victory in Pennsylvania is illegitimate, is undeserved because Democrats did not vote for her. Republicans did.'"

Rush must be on drugs again. Hillary started with a 22 pt lead and it went down to a 9 pt lead.

Uh, Wabby.....your newest signature betrays your ( and Rush's, I believe ) real intent with this "Operation Chaos" bullshit.

While I do not think there are enough dumbasses out there to actually give this scheme validity....I can see it for what it is. The GOP wants to run against Hillary Clinton......they think McCain will at least have a prayer against her since she is more "polarizing" than Obama.

It is a lie to say that all Rush wants is "chaos". He...just like you wants Obama out because you know he'll have a great advantage in November.

Check this out....interesting source too!!!

You've got to stand back in awe of a man who has the gall to tell his listeners that it makes sense for the front runner to give up and let the second place take the nomination. I also admire the gullibility of his listeners who buy this stuff. :lol

Why isn't "Operation Chaos" being mentioned by the cable news politicos?
Why do they round off her win to double digits? A colleague of mine commented on a possibly different perception of the same results if Clinton's strongest precincts were held until the last. In that scenario it would have been an 8 point margin, later adjusting to a 9 point margin from the other direction.
In any case, all indicators from exit polls suggest that the bulk of Clinton support was from older white Republicans together with some aging women libbers.
The clintons have given us this little going away present....that is the ruination of the Democratic party.

rush is an idiot and only fools, idiots and people stupid enough to believe that there are WMDs still in Iraq pay any attention to this fool.

BTW, rush is losing it again. The big fat drug addict is calling for riots in Denver. http://www.americablog.com/2008/04/limbaugh-calls-for-riots-in-denver-at.htmlHey SuperDelegates, having fun yet? This is the kind of talk you're going to increasingly get if you let Hillary continue this charade in her effort to destroy our party. We've now got Rush Limbaugh calling for riots in the streets of Denver (something that should get him investigated by the police, the FBI and the Secret Service, and I also have a suspicion there must be an FCC rule or two about this as well - tell me his stations can't be fined millions for inciting violence - who's going to file the complaint?) In any case, expect more of the same, the longer the SuperDelegates let this ridiculous farce drag out. Had they nipped this in the bud weeks ago, we wouldn't now be talking about riots in Denver. It's only going to get worse and worse the longer they let this continue. Cowardice comes with a price.
