Rush Limbaugh Going To Jail?

I doubt it, but Democrats in Ohio and Pennsylvania are raising a stink about it.

Personally, I think the Democrats are rather dumb to raise a stink about this.

First, the most you’re going to do is get Rush fined and make him a bit of a martyr to his conservative audience. But even that is a long shot.  How are you going to figure out which voters were doing Rush’s bidding and which weren’t?  And of those, how are you going to figure out which ones don’t actually buy into the loyalty oath Democrats in Ohio make you sign before you can vote in the primary?

Second, you’re basically admitting that his influence is so great that he’s able to reach out and disrupt the Democrat party.  Rush thrives on attention, especially when that attention proves that he’s getting under the skin of liberals.

The Dems would be better off ignoring him.  Not that it would make him go away.

Comments

The real hypocrisy here is that the Dems do this kind of stuff all the time, but when a conservative does it back to them, they get their panties in a bunch.  They should man up and shut up already.

Since my conversion to Conservativsm after 9/11 I have noticed that Conservatives, Republicans in general, are way too nice when it come to dealing with the vicious Left.

As one who used to believe prior to 9/11 what my peers believed ie., that Rush was a right-wing nutcase out to destroy America (even though I never listened to him), I understand why the Left goes after Rush so often, he has the spine to take on the vicious Left.

syn on March 29, 2008 at 04:56 am

syn, yes they seem to be unable to take it.  One difference is that they try to do their dirty work under covers so to speak like Teddy 1965 monkey around with our legal immigrant percentages.  When honest people point out these things, they get accused of being underhandedt!

The Supreme Court has unanimously ruled that it is unconstitutional for any government official to question a citizen about who they voted for or why they voted as they did.

Loyalty oaths are also unconstitutional, anti-American, and extremely offensive in a free society. That must be why only the Democrat party has them.

Yeah Rob, it’s “dumb” to expect people to be honest, and to respect the primary principle that our nation was founded on.

You are a classic representation of all that is bad with the American right.  Congratulations on supporting voter fraud and for not seeing anything bad in deception, fraud and destroying the democratic process.

You have proven to me that you are indeed an imbecile.

The ”primary principle”? Founded upon?  Have you been playing ”buzz word bingo” again, Hannitized? Please, please please show me where in the founding documents the ”primary principle” is invoked. (Or mentioned!)

Then, after that fruitless endeavor, tell me how it is bad for Obama to encourage Republicans to cross over (to the dark side) in the primaries, and vote for him!



For any voter trying to choose between the two candidates for commander in chief, there is no better test than this: When American strategy in a critical theater was up for grabs, John McCain proposed a highly unpopular and risky path, which he accurately predicted could lead to success. Barack Obama proposed a popular and politically safe route that would have led to an unnecessary and debilitating American defeat at the hands of al Qaeda.

It is a FELONY to vote fraudulently.  Proving it, is another matter.  Supporting the idea is enough to judge character.

104.041 Fraud in connection with casting vote.--Any person perpetrating or attempting to perpetrate or aid in the perpetration of any fraud in connection with any vote cast, to be cast, or attempted to be cast, is guilty of a felony of the third degree, punishable as provided in s. 775.082, s. 775.083, or s. 775.084.

104.16 Voting fraudulent ballot.--Any elector who knowingly votes or attempts to vote a fraudulent ballot, or any person who knowingly solicits, or attempts, to vote a fraudulent ballot, is guilty of a felony of the third degree, punishable as provided in s. 775.082, s. 775.083, or s. 775.084.

Principles of Constitutional Interpretation

Constitutional interpretation, or constitutional construction, the term more often used by the Founders, is the process by which legal decisions are made that are justified by a constitution, although not necessarily correctly. Constitutional controversies are about whether an official act is consistent with, and authorized by, a constitution or constitutional statute or court decision. Since a constitution is a law, and the supreme law within its domain, and authorizes statutes and other official acts which have a textual expression, the principles of constitutional interpretation are essentially the same as the principles of statutory or judicial interpretation.

Most legal scholars recognize six main methods of interpretation: textual, historical, functional, doctrinal, prudential, equitable, and natural, although they may differ on what each includes, and there is some overlap among them.

Founding Fathers Primary Principle of Constitution #6

Equitable. Also called ethical. Decision based on an innate sense of justice, balancing the interests of the parties, and what is right and wrong, regardless of what the written law might provide. Often resorted to in cases in which the facts were not adequately anticipated or provided for by the lawgivers. Some scholars put various balancing tests of interests and values in the prudential category, but it works better to distinguish between prudential as balancing the interests and values of the legal system from equitable as balancing the interests and values of the parties. It arises out of the Latin maxim, Æquitas est perfecta quædam ratio quæ jus scriptum interpretatur et emendat; nulla scriptura comprehensa, sed sola ratione consistens. Equity is a sort of perfect reason which interprets and amends written law; comprehended in no code, but consistent with reason alone. Coke, Littleton, 24.

That is what is wrong with the United States today. These academic constructs for interpreting the Constitution have so perverted the Constitution as to make it wholly meaningless and we have no human rights under it at all. I have a novel idea, read the freaking words and follow exactly what they say. Words have meaning and unless the words in the Constitution mean exactly what they say then we can never trust it to guarantee our liberties at all.

I get so angry over our bastardized, prostituted legal system in this freaking country, it is so obscene that we don’t even know what the definition of “is” - “is!” I say first cane most viciously every damn lawyer in this country until they stop perverting the law for partisan reasons or for their selfish economic interests.

Now, look up the words “basic tenants”. Maybe you should be the one “looking up”, since a “tenant” is someone who occupies a property.  The word you were trying to use is “tenet”, but you still fail to connect your claim of Rush doing something fraudulent in this case to any legal tenet of any sort.  The simple answer is that no law was violated, and no fraud was perpetrated. Then see if you can tie them into the relevance of the basic trust that the founding fathers assumed would be honored by the people in a democracy.

There are the Canons of Statutory Interpretation that were generally accepted by all in Western jurists and then came the Communist-inspired Critical Legal Studies form of Deconstructionism, whose entire purpose and intent is to tear down the existing legal infrastructure so that a New Communist Order can be built on its ruins.

So, don’t listen to this ambiguity, or Living Constitution crap—that’s just Commie BS in sheep’s clothing.

The way law is interpreted (or should be interpreted) is:

1) Plain language, and, in case of ambiguity;
2) Look to the Legislative history to elicit the drafters’ intent (travaux préparatoires when looking at foreign or international law)

This is greatly simplified, but that is the basic gist of how it should be done.  The alternative is to cede all lawmaking authority to those unelected and in-office-for-life judges, who rule however the hell they feel like ruling by torturing words and meanings until they fit the outcome they want to arrive at.

Thereafter a legislature (legis - law; slature - to write) will be complete surplusage, since we now have the functional equivalents of US-based Imams to rule over us.

You are absolutely wrong.  There is no fraud being perpetrated.  Party affiliation is voluntary, and can be changed at the whim of the individual voter.  You’re just wrong, and are trying again and again to cover it up with bullshit.  You’ve been schooled, and aren’t bright enough to absorb the knowledge.
Furthermore, Rush is simply expressing his opinions, and hasn’t coerced or deceived anyone.  I think that is a Constitutional principle; it’s called Free Speech, and is there somewhere, I think it’s called the First Amendment.  You can look it up.

There is nothing wrong with voting LEGALLY.  To vote fraudulently is a FELONY…

H,

In a very real sense, you have no one to blame for your angst here than yourself and your fellow liberal Democrats.  Time and again your side has vehemently opposed the most basic control over voter fraud… a simple requirement for a picture ID.

If you are unwilling to support curbs on even the most fundamental form of voter fraud, you can hardly expect to be taken seriously now in this situation.

Furthermore, if your Democrat party sets the rules for their primary elections, as your side has been trumpeting to Democrat voters in Florida and Michigan of late, and those rules include so-called “open primaries”, you are hardly in a position to yammer about fraud when someone takes advantage of the very rules that your side set to begin with.

People legally registered, as they are free to do, and legally voted for the Dem of their choice.  They have a perfect right to do that, so no fraud of any sort was perpetrated.(or any “freud”, either) You continue to spew meaningless bullshit, completely devoid of any facts or truth.

I don’t need to keep explaining to you why dishonest voting is fraud.  You don’t give a shit anyway.

You keep playing dumb in order to make your little teenie-bopper argument.

These people have no intention of voting for Dems in the primary.  They are only disrupting the democratic process to cause chaos.  Thus, the name of the project Rush is heading up.

To do this is FRAUDULENT.

You are a dishonest man Robert, and the tiny, little, tinie bit of respect I had for you was lost in this post.

You are not a decent man.  And again, I take great pleasure being a better one than you.

Before we begin to move this discussion to providing IDs at election time.

May I pleae have your agreement that changing party affiliation for the purpose of causing problems for the Democrats is Fraud and not the kindo of fraud that can be proven?

Welcome to the debate by the way.  A smart and honest fellow such as yourself is desperately needed.

These people have no intention of voting for Dems in the primary. They did, so you have no point here. They are only disrupting the democratic process to cause chaos. They voted.  Get over yourself. Thus, the name of the project Rush is heading up.

Not only do you have no sense, you have no sense of humor, either.  Rush is laughing at you, and you’re too stupid to realize it.  That’s not a crime, btw.  Dems should be laughed right out of business, until they come back to America.
I realize you want to quell any diverse opinions, like any other leftie fascist, and so you wish with all your might that you can trump up some bullshit that would silence Rush, but you and the Dems/MSM have failed miserably, like you always do.
There’s a simple reason for this:  Lefties are feelers, and conservatives are thinkers.

Ah c’mon fellas.

The commies just have their panties in a knot because Limbaugh has torn a page from their playbook and is using it against them.

They’ve been doing this crap for years (see McCain 2000) , particularly in open primary States.  They did this to squeeze out true Conservatives in Virginia, leaving us in the Commonwealth in the same situation we now face nationally (a choice between openly-Left and Stealth-Left) .

Moreover, keeping an intercenine struggle going between different factions of your enemy is also a long-accepted form of warfare.  What do you suppose Ronnie Raygun was doing by ensuring there was no clear victor in the Iran-Iraq struggle?

By keeping Iraq propped up, the Iraqis and Iranians were slaughtering each other for at no real cost to the USA. 

a former official said that he personally had signed off on a document that shared U.S. satellite intelligence with both Iraq and Iran in an attempt to produce a military stalemate

All’s we needed to do was to keep it going, get a bowl of Cheesy-poofs and kick back the recliner and watch the fireworks.

We’re doing the same thing between the Obamination and the Hildebeast.  We know we’re going to get screwed in this election (unless a Third Party candidate like Jesse Ventura rides into the rescue just as we are about to get raped and scalped) —but we can at least enjoy the Calico Cat and the Gingham Dog fight in the meantime.

H,

You are atop that which is often referred to by your fellow liberals in other tenuous situations as a “slippery slope.” What you describe is likely invidious, but it is hardly fraud in the legal sense of the word.  No more so than “mis-speaking” about all the sniper fire that greeted you and your adolescent daughter on your arrival in Bosnia nearly a dozen years ago.

The problem with “changing party affiliation for the purpose of causing problems for the Democrats” is that there is no way to prove beyond a reasonable doubt the true intention of the person who changes their party affiliation.  Particularly with the intentionally lax controls put in place by the very Democrats who are no (delightfully, in my view!) screaming “Foul!”

I can sympathize with your frustration over this, but as I noted above, your side has no one to blame but yourselves.  If you opposed more basic curbs on more basic types of demonstrable voter fraud in the past, your self-righteous indignation over the issue now probably isn’t going to be taken very seriously.  You guys left the door open… deliberately.  Its a little late to complain about just who wandered in, and what their true partisan allegiance might be.

So Hannitized, do you think Obama should be charged with voter fraud since he is running commercials in Pennsylvania to change party affiliation and vote for him in the primary? 

I mean Obama is a start guy and he must know most of them will probably vote for McCain in the general election.  So, did Obama commit fraud for urging republicans to do just what Rush urged them to do?



A political party cannot be all things to all people. It must represent certain fundamental beliefs which must not be compromised to political expediency, or simply to swell its numbers.

What you describe is likely invidious, but it is hardly fraud in the legal sense of the word.

There are laws that prohibit “voting fraudulent ballots” (scroll up), but what I said earlier is that is impossible to prove.

104.16 Voting fraudulent ballot.--Any elector who knowingly votes or attempts to vote a fraudulent ballot, or any person who knowingly solicits, or attempts, to vote a fraudulent ballot, is guilty of a felony of the third degree, punishable as provided in s. 775.082, s. 775.083, or s. 775.084.

If someone pays you to vote for Hillary, that is “voting a fraudulent ballot”.  If someone tells you to do vote for Hillary out of malice, that is also “voting a fraudulent ballot”, but it is one that is impossible to prove, unlike the exchanging of money.

No more so than “mis-speaking” about all the sniper fire that greeted you and your adolescent daughter on your arrival in Bosnia nearly a dozen years ago.

They are different it that there is no law for exaggerating or lying.  There are laws that prohibit voter fraud.  It really is that simple.

The problem with “changing party affiliation for the purpose of causing problems for the Democrats” is that there is no way to prove beyond a reasonable doubt the true intention of the person who changes their party affiliation.  Particularly with the intentionally lax controls put in place by the very Democrats who are no (delightfully, in my view!) screaming “Foul!”

Requiring an ID card before casting a vote puts elderly and the young at a disadvantage for voting.  So many elderly don’t drive and loose ID cards.  Hell, even some military don’t have state ID’s or drivers licenses.  This is vastly different from the intentional malice that is at the heart of Rush’s plan.  You know this.

OMG.  Robert, here is a hint.  Voting for whom ever you want, HONESTLY, is not a crime.  Changing your party affiliation out of malice, to cause Dems problems, is FRAUDULENT.

Do you know what that word means? 

In criminal law, fraud is the crime or offense of deliberately deceiving another in order to damage them – usually, to obtain property or services unjustly. [1] Fraud can be accomplished through the aid of forged objects. In the criminal law of common law jurisdictions it may be called “theft by deception,” “larceny by trick,” “larceny by fraud and deception” or something similar.

I’m sorry I have to ‘splain this to you so many times, but all Americans are free to change their Party registration at any time, and for any reason.

Robert,

This is the last time I am going to say this to you.

Changing your party affliation from R to D to purposefully cause malice to the Dem party fits the legal definition of FRAUD.  Even moreso if they plan to vote R in the general election.

Changing your party affiliation honestly is perfectly fine.  But of course that is not what Rush is doing.

This is why he calls it operation chaos.

Hannitized on March 29, 2008 at 11:25 pm

Do you really not know the answer to that question?  Do you have any evidence that Rush paid anyone to vote?  I repeat, he neither coerced anyone nor offered any inducement to do anything.  Those voters who legally voted in the open primary did so of their own free will.
Paying people to vote, like JFK’s dad did in the ‘60 election, is certainly not legal, so now you know.
You’re still spewing irrelevant bullshit.

Here’s a hint for you:  If you don’t want crossover voting, don’t have open primaries.  I think they’re stupid, anyway.  We have McCain because of open primaries, and for the same reason you hypocritically criticize Rush for.  We have been saddled with McCain because of crossover voting in open primaries; why aren’t you whining about that?

Haha.  Robert...you are deliciously ignorant.

Malice...is a result.  Malice can either be intentional or reckless as a result.  It can be implied or expressed.  Expressed malice is what Rush did.  You think I dropped the fraud claim, because you are dim-witted.  But Fraud can not be proven unless express malice has occurred and a cooperating party admits to the crime.

The evidence that you ask is all over the radio.  It’s in Rushs campaign title “Operation Chaos”.  The chaos that has been expressed is intended to cause the Democratic party harm.

Now, put all of those words together and what do you get?  Expressed malice that was intentionally trying to cause the democratic party harm.  That is the definition of Fraud.

I can’t believe I have to have these very simple arguments with you.  You are totally irrational and illogical.

Here’s a hint for you:  If you don’t want crossover voting, don’t have open primaries.  I think they’re stupid, anyway.

I don’t care about crossover voters.  I like the fact that we can bring Rs over to the Ds.  The difference is we want them to stay for the GE.  This is the American way.  What we don’t want is people swithching from Rs to Ds during the primary only to switch back during the GE, before Oct 25th.

We have McCain because of open primaries, and for the same reason you hypocritically criticize Rush for.  We have been saddled with McCain because of crossover voting in open primaries; why aren’t you whining about that?

Because I don’t believe that.  You have McCain because Republicans voted for him.  If they didnt, you guys are screwed because his numbers were half that of Dems.

Again, free Americans are free, in an open primary, to vote as they wish; that’s what “open” means.

Absolutely, but they can’t do it Fraudulently, that’s a felony.

You should have your right to vote taken away, you aren’t smart enough or honest enough to deserve one.

The fascist who expressed this thought (remarkably spelling all the words correctly this time!) tries to laugh off this distasteful, undemocratic expression as the “low hanging fruit” of an argument easily dismissed. Note: He does not disavow the sentiment!
Having revealed his true nature, he continues to try to obfuscate his position with a lot of cut and paste, talk about fraud (which is completely off topic!), attempts to insult other people’s intelligence (and failing miserably: calling them “bafoons” (sic) What a maroon!), and parroting language he has heard adults say here: namely, we are tired of trying to educate him. It’s so darned cute when Hannitized stamps his little foot and says he’s tired of educating us!
