Rush Limbaugh Strategy Works for Clinton In Guam

[progressive25]

Exposed Story

Guam -- Has the Rush Limbaugh strategy helped presidential candidate Sen. Hillary Clinton run a tight race in Guam?

Republican and Independent voters switched teams yesterday making a predicted caucus blowout for Democrat candidate Sen. Barrack Obama a razor tight race with Obama only beating his rival Clinton by 7 votes.

Conservative talk-show host Rush Limbaugh has been urging his minions for months to switch parties and vote for Clinton in caucuses and primaries were it is allowed. He and many other conservatives believe that Republicans have a better chance of maintaining the White House with Sen. John McCain running
against Hillary.

While the Clinton campaign team is spinning the close race in Guam as a victory, the fact that non-Democrats made the caucus a tight race has not gone unnoticed and worries some.

1. It doesn't matter anymore Rush.

And guess what? That strategy won't work against Obama in the GE. Dumbass.

[Zachstar]

2. Why has the FCC done NOTHING to him?

After his comments before?

[INdemo]

7. Like every other Federal Agency...They are run by Bush appointee's

and they do what the RNC tell them to do.

[VolcanoJen]

3. Look for a repeat in Indiana.

Another open primary, another chance for Operation Chaos to fuck Obama over.

[progressive25]

6. True words!

Can't add anything else that says it as clearly.

[Zachstar]

8. How many open primaries are left?

[VolcanoJen]

13. I believe WV is closed. I know KY is a closed primary.

In KY, if you were a registered Republican or Independent, you actually had to switch your registration to Democrat by December 31, 2007! So no chance of Operation Chaos padding Hillary's margin there.

Not sure about Oregon... does anyone know?

[Zachstar]

22. Ah that is good news.

Ky is going to be hard enough as it is. Atleast now Obama has halfway of a shot at getting through to the democrats there. Hopefully he can atleast cut Clinton's lead by half and Increase his lead in Oregon.

[VolcanoJen]

25. I attended a really great, fun fundraiser for Obama last night in Newport, Kentucky.

It was held at a bar, and we had a great band, a packed house, and all kinds of fun games that people could participate in with a donation. My favorite was "Pin the Obama on the State."

It was hilarious watching people who'd had a few cocktails being blindfolded, spun around and led to a map where they had to stick an Obama sticker on a state he'd won. A lot of people hit the ocean, and we'd say "He hasn't won the oceans yet... BUT HE WILL!!"

I can't remember the last time I had so much fun. Obama support is STRONG in northern Kentucky!!!!

[Zachstar]

27. Well we need to work HARD to build support ALL over the state!

I hope everyone is phonebanking!

35. Too bad Kentucky and West Virginia

are supposedly hilary States. And too bad those people in Guam listen to a traitor like rush I'll fuck you over limpbaughs.

[Qutzupalotl]

45. Oregon is a closed primary.

People had until April 29 to register as Democrats to participate. There were about 62,000 new voters registered for this primary.

I got my ballot in the mail on Friday, and voted for Obama immediately. I'll study the downballot initiatives and candidates for other offices and mail it in (we're an all-vote-by-mail state).

Keep in mind that Oregon can vote TODAY and any day up until May 20...and Obama's leading in the polls!

4. Wasn't Hillary expected to win big in Guam?

[RaleighNCDUer]

11. That's the way I heard it.

My understanding is that it was supposed to be heavily in her favor - so now that it wound up a squeaker they make the claim that it was Obama's all along and a tie shows he's lost momentum.

[TheCowsCameHome]

5. Rush is a player, but only in his drug-altered head

He is going to look like an even bigger asshole (if that's possible) when a Dem wins the WH in November, thanks to his push for Hillary.

I wonder what his dittoheasds will think of him then. They are already alarmed at his stupid games.

[Clovis Sangrail]

10. Rush wins with the ditto heads either way

If a Dem wins the whitehouse he gets talkshow fodder.
If McCain wins he claims success.

[TheCowsCameHome]

15. Rush loses either way.

He is already stuck with a candidate he hates. He did not get Reagan II. Not even close.

No matter what happens in Nov., the hard right has already lost. They have a candidate they did not want or heartiy support. McCain is an anchor around their collective necks, and they are panicked ovet it.

[TheFarseer]

12. he's getting pissed off calls every day

from people mad that he's making a second Clinton administration a possibility. I think he's pissing himself with delight that he might get to throw rocks at a Clinton for 8 more years.

[TheCowsCameHome]

19. He can throw all the rocks he wants, but his followers will tar and feather him

if they think he screwed them with his bloated ego Operation Chaos trip.

Let him whine all he wants - I enjoy hearing him cry like the cowardly baby that he is.

[Butch350]

34. People like Rush..

Live for controversy. He just loves the attention.

[nevergiveup]

9. I can't imagine Rush

being popular in Guam. I think massive phone banking from the Obama campaign turned what should have been an easy Hillary win into a "by the nose" win for Obama.

[kevinbgoode]

14. Republicans for-a-day crossed over in large numbers

and that was reported before any of the counting.

[VolcanoJen]

16. Here's a post on Limbaugh's site about Operation Chaos efforts in Indiana.

It's hard to stomach, but if you're curious, have a look:

You can buy Operation Chaos hats and t-shirts too! :puke:

[JVS]

17. Who the fuck listens to Rush in Guam?

[progressive25]

18. Ditto Heads

Repubs & Independents

[JVS]

20. Is he even broadcast there?

[VolcanoJen]

26. He's on Armed Forces Radio, and Guam is one big military base.

So yes, I'm pretty sure that Drug-Addict Lard-Ass is well-heard in Guam.

[bigbrother05]

31. Ding, ding, ding

On AFRN at least 2 hrs a day, usually delayed to play during the local noon-2 time frame. Broadcast on AM & FM. Would be a very popular station with anyone living there to get music and news.

[Barack_America]

32. So Armed Forces Radio broadcasts a guy who plays "Barack the Magic Negro"?

That's just wonderful.

I'm sure that our African American men and women in uniform greatly appreciate that.

:wtf:

[frickaline]

33. wow ... that's just .... wow ....

:banghead:

If this is true, I'm speechless.

I'm hoping: http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=132&topic_id=5807800&mesg_id=5808680

...is correct.

[mrreowwr_kittty]

36. When I was in the Navy stationed overseas, Rush was on AFRTS radio every day.

No opposing viewpoint. I hear that recently they were forced to include some programming from the left.

[ForeignSpectator]

38. Don't forget the phony soldiers.... n/t

[Barack_America]

39. ?

I don't get it.

[ForeignSpectator]

41. Didn't limbaugh make that remark about soldiers...

that uttered criticism about Iraq/Afghanistan being "phony soldiers"? He himself, dodging the draft, that is sooo xxxxx

If you google it, I am sure you will find something about that... or search here on DU...

[Barack_America]

43. Thanks, I'll look it up.

It sounds vaguely familiar. Though my brain has a special "quarantine" section for things I hear from Limbaugh, Coulter, etc. ;)

[ForeignSpectator]

46. I bet that section of yours looks like this...

Mine does... :hi:

[LTR]

29. He's not on any commercial station

Here are a few lists:

http://radiostationworld.com/locations/Guam/Radio.asp
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Guam_radio

There's one talk station in all of Guam, and it doesn't carry Rush.

As for AFRN, I'm not sure how much of Rush's show they carry there, if at all. Or even on what frequency. Maybe shortwave, but would that even get ratings? I honestly think Rush has no coverage in Guam. Therefore, I doubt anyone there has any idea about this so-called "Operation Chaos."

[TheCowsCameHome]

21. Do they have electricity and radios in Guam?

[JVS]

24. I'm sure they have electricity. Radio might be another issue as that requires audiences large...

enough to support broadcasting (at least for commercial radio), there is also shortwave though so I guess they could pick up signals from far away.

[FARAFIELD]

23. Spin what you want OBAMA netted 3 delegates

Him and Hillary split the pledged but (as usual) she was out orgainized and his slate of supers came in at 4-1, man he did it again.

[pompano]

28. A Democrat for a day?

Don't Republicans have House and Senate race primaries when they are trying to unseat an unchallenged incumbant Democrat?

[bigbrother05]

30. With so few voters, probably one of the few places it could have an impact

Going into the last, largest precinct, Obama ahead by about 200 votes. With only about 4,000 voting, it doesn't take too many ditto heads to make a difference. Aren't there 500 provisional ballots? There will be more to come on Guam.

[Helga Scow Stern]

37. Friends in Guam say

that the place is absolutely abuzz with this election. The only Republican that I know of there said she's becoming a Dem for a day so she can vote for Obama.

[kwenu]

40. Garbage. I see people in Guam wanting to matter for a change not responding to Limpballs.

[Buzz Clik]

42. Geezus. It was essentially a tie for all of four delegates.

[npincus]

44. somehow, I don't think they're Rush fans over there.

[Faryn Balyncd]

47. rush is inflating hillary's apparent support everywhere.

[NJmaverick]

48. Does Rush's show air in Guam?

[MJJP21]

49. I think

Having listened to Rush for a good many years I now think that Rush in his twisted little mind wants Hillary to win. In his twisted mind he doesn't think Barack has a chance which would force him to support someone he really despises by the name of McCain.Anyone who listens to Rush knows he has often bragged that his show is most popular when the opposition is in the white house. Another point is who is most likely to reimplement the fair broadcast idea which would force an alternate opinion to one being broadcast on the air? I think it would be Obama rather than Hillary. Could you imagine Rush going against some truth on a daily basis? I think his show would fold within a year and he knows it.
