Operation Chaos – Utter Political and Broadcasting Brilliance

In my early twenties, I had the fears that many people had about the environment. I was reading the stories about our being on the edge of an apocalypse just as we were finally achieving peace with the Russians (which, as I now know, was actually the victory of America and Ronald Reagan over the suddenly hapless Soviet Union). And I believed all of it.

And then, for the first time, I starting hearing a compelling guy on the radio whose show was exploding in popularity, explaining the whole environmental movement and what it was about. I couldn’t believe how much wasn’t being reported about things like acid rain and tree destruction. I have been a huge fan of Rush Limbaugh ever since.

People can say what they want about Rush. He has become possibly the most powerful figure in American politics of the last fifty years. Because of Rush Limbaugh, there is Sean Hannity, Ann Coulter, Laura Ingraham, the Drudge Report, Townhall, Fox News. It took one radio host to show broadcasting and publishing businesses everywhere that there was a big market of people disgusted with left-wing media bias. That bias still exists with the large majority of newspapers and networks in a huge way, but it is growing smaller by the day. The New York Times is preparing for huge layoffs for the first time ever.

When Democrats like Harry “The War Is Lost” Reid tried to take Rush’s “phony soldiers” comment out of context to actually demand that his stations reprimand him…after Reid himself had just called our fighting men and women losers…Rush took Reid’s letter, signed by most all the Democrats in Congress, and sold it on ebay for $2 million. He took the money, matched it himself, and donated the $4 million to the Marine Corps Law Enforcement Foundation. He also asked Harry Reid to put in a contribution of his own, which Reid refused to do (despite having the financial ability to do so thanks to his slimy land deals while senator). Rush turned a government attack on a private citizen into a complete and utter embarrassment for a shamefully behaving political party.

Similarly, since the media gleefully pronounced Rush’s irrelevance after moderate John McCain secured the Republican presidential nomination, Rush has begun Operation Chaos…and he has landed such devastating blows on the left wing media and the Democratic Party that they still don’t know what has hit them. I have been watching Operation Chaos unfold and I don’t think I have ever had more fun following politics.

Rush is encouraging conservatives who won’t be voting in the meaningless Republican primaries to cross over and vote for Hillary. This will keep her in the race, thus continuing the battle between the two, encouraging the Clintons to “bloody up” Obama politically, since the Republicans are too wimpy to do it. It will also expose Democrat racism, drain them of cash, and cause utter chaos within the party up to the convention in Denver.

I was at first annoyed that Rush was discouraging his audience from putting Hillary away for good. But I was so, so wrong. It has been a phenomenal success. More and more, Obama is now seen not as a charismatic, uniting leader, but as an extreme left wing radical with, to say the least, disturbing associations. The “Drive By” media is desperately trying to get Hillary out of the race, knowing it will slow down criticism of Obama. Howard Dean is actually looking like the relatively sane voice in his party, which is no small achievement. And Obama himself is showing his true colors, calling rural Pennsylvanians who don’t support him God-clinging, gun-toting morons as only an elitist liberal can.

Obama spent triple the money in the battleground commonwealth of Pennsylvania and not only lost to Hillary but got creamed. And more and more he is being seen as unelectable. There is no way any of this could have happened had he locked up the nomination by now. The media would be studiously ignoring Jeremiah Wright, Bill Ayers, and Cling-gate--dismissing them as overblown attacks from the right-wing hate machine--were none of them in the tank for Hillary, or at least someone who stands a better chance against John McCain.

The greatest part of all is watching Rush taunt them. He isn’t doing any of this behind the scenes. He is open, honest, and clearly describing what is going on. Rush sometimes even informs the liberal operatives listening to his show what he’s going to do next. Like he always says, he knows these people like every square inch of his glorious naked body. And with Operation Chaos, he is proving it. He is demonstrating, with media sound clips every single day, how the left would rather choke on cement than give him credit for having so much influence.

He has even openly advised the Obama campaign that they could put a stop to all of it simply by acknowledging Operation Chaos. And Obama and the Democrats continue to cut off their nose. Rush knows full well that their egos and arrogance won’t ever, ever, EVER allow them to admit that he has gotten the best of them.

It is brilliant politics, and historic radio.

It has to be the most fun he could ever have been having in his whole career. For years the "tolerant" and "understanding" left wing media and Democratic Party have attacked him mercilessly, genuinely attempting to destroy his life for not falling in line with them. Now he is shoving it up their arrogant, elitist asses so hard that liberals are struck dumb not knowing what to do.

Don’t mess with Rush.

God Bless you Mr. Limbaugh. You have made politics an absolute blast lately.
