If so, then he has successfully tampered with the votes--an incredible power.

I think you’re wrong.  The people that crossed the party lines were following the law and voting the way they wanted to.

I suppose now we’re going to be told who we may or may not vote for.

The Debate is over!  Global Whining has been confirmed.

If Limbaugh’s influence did substantiate a difference enough in the Indiana primaries to enable Hillary to win then he HAS influenced the votes.  In a way, he has tampered them.

The issue is not the legality, although Rush’s actions might come under the scope of the Fairness doctrine, but whether or not Rush was ethical.

Is that too much power?

Was it ok for the lefties in the press to push John McCain or Bob Dole?

The Debate is over!  Global Whining has been confirmed.

I think that rather than concern over Limbaugh exercising his free speech rights to suggest that Republicans do something that was entirely legal and within the framework of rules set by the Democrats themselves, the focus should instead be on explaining why the millions of voters in two states, Michigan and (ironically) Florida, have been completely shut out of the nominating process.

The decision of when to hold a state’s primary is not that of the state party, but of the state legislature which must appropriate the necessary funds to pay for the primary election.  I find it an incredible bit of hypocrisy that the party that screamed “count every vote” for the past 7 years now blithely excludes the votes of its own party members in two states.

It will be amusing to watch the Democrats try to win in either Michigan or Florida this November.

“Poverty of goods is easily cured; poverty of the mind is irreparable.”

Limbaigh is not a reporter. He’s a commentator, and opinionist, if you will. He’s not objective, as a reprter of events should be, he’s subjective.

He expresses his opinions. If people choose to follow his lead, so be it. On the other hand, if people choose to critisize his opinions and he has to pay a price for them, so be that as well. Look at what happened to Don Imus and more recently Randi Rhodes when their opinions went too far.

And, no, I’m not his biggest fan by any means. But he has the right to an opinion as much any person who wants to haul up a soapbox on a street corner and spout off. Or write on a blog for that matter.

He has a bigger soapbox, that’s all.

Election ‘08 - We Are So Screwed

Limbaugh’s actions are legal, but I think it goes against my own personal taste of election ethics.

Bat One: Why did they exclude those two states?
Has the legislature not been able to provide necessary funds?

Good question.  What of MSNBC and the obvious bias of Keith O?  Talk TV?
Rush does not pass himself off as a reporter.  Similar to Air America who do the same thing.  Is there anyone who thinks that liberals, democrats and others influenced the nomination of John McCain?  Anyone can influence people.  Bloggers, back fence talkers, friends, radio, TV, newspapers.

Communism is evil

Those two states had earlier primaries than the Democrats allowed.  Excluding their delegates was their punishment. 

They had votes and Hillary won both of them, although Obama was not on the ballot in Michigan.

I don’t know that advances the count every vote argument.  But then Democrats aren’t about that.  They are more about counting every vote for them.

The Debate is over!  Global Whining has been confirmed.

Why did they exclude those two states?

The DNC set rules as to when each state could hold their primaries. Michigan and Florida both set the date of their primaries ahead of the dates permitted by the DNC (perhaps wanting greater influence in selecting the party’s candidate?).
The DNC penalized them (see: “disenfranchisement") by not allowing their delegates to be seated at the convention. (That’s if they stick to their rules and Hillary can’t get them changed!)

Those who think the party or the country, will be “taught a lesson” by handing the levers of power over to the liberals will learn a lesson, but it will be at the expense of our country and her liberties. And there are no guarantees that the party or the country will come out stronger, more conservative or better positioned to win elections against the incumbent liberals.

I need to learn to type faster!

Pilgrim: it was not an opinion. it was an “Operation”!

He said it himself, he spoke to his millions of listeners in a mockable but serious tone of instructions on an operation to sabotage the elections. “I am a unifier.  I bring unity to the people”

To me, his contempt of America’s liberals draws the line there when he conspires an unprecedented action of taking over our sacred American elections.

The power to vote is OUR power.  The one power that the people have.

I love how lefties think that burning a perfectly good American flag is “free speech”, but when it comes to a conservative expressing his free speech rights, they whine about it.  Typical leftie double standard.

"If the good men are silent only the wicked are heard.” - Edmund Burke

Whistler, RZ, you both take good points.  Points that I also have serious issues on and won’t hesitate to take a stance against.

There will always be influences, but public conspiracies to tamper with the natural flow of elections IS different.

although Obama was not on the ballot in Michigan.

True, but 45% of voters voted against Hillary for “unpledged” candidates! OUCH.

Again, the MSM influences votes on a cultural and brainwashing level that I loathe, McCain was influenced as well but it was NOT a public conspiracies to tamper with the natural flow of elections!

...public conspiracies to tamper with the
natural flow of elections IS different.

“Public conspiracies”???  Now you’re just making things up.  With a secret ballot(like we have here in the US) there is no way to predict the “natural flow” of any election.  When the MSM lies about Republicans to influence an election(Dan Rather), is that one of your so-called “public conspiracies”?
How about three years of lying during the Plame trial?
Was that another one of your “public conspiracies”?

You make a mockery of the First Amendment, freedom of speech and freedom of the press(including electronic media).  What you really want is censorship of any view that diverges from leftie ideology.

"If the good men are silent only the wicked are heard.” - Edmund Burke

ooo, the public conspiracy thing.  How ominous, not. 

Do you want to know what bugs me?  Why is it that Iowa and New Hampshire have all of this influence on who becomes President. 

It’s a bullpoop system and if any state wants to ignore it I’m fine with it.

How about all of these states that haven’t had their chance to vote?  North Dakota had an early caucus but my candidate had already dropped out.

The Debate is over!  Global Whining has been confirmed.

Public conspiracy.  At least it was public.  It was legal.  It was opinion.  Personally, I think that we all gained from this drawn out contest.  Without a close contest we would not have known about Obama’s racist pastor, or his close association with a domestic terrorist.  Soon we may learn more about an Iraqi monetary influence.  Would that be a conspiracy?

Communism is evil

Is Rush Limbaugh overstepping his responsibilities as a reporter in Operation Chaos: his instructions that his listeners switch over and vote for Hillary in Indiana to create for a chaotic and drawn-out battle against Obama, weakening the nominee?

Duh, were the alleged switch-overs coerced?  Did he hold a gun to their heads?  Did he bribe them?  You say No?  Then this is a nothing story.  Anyway, Rush should have the same right as anybody to speak his mind regardless of ANY potential effect on his listeners.

Being liberal is never having to admit you’re wrong

To illustrate the absolute nonsense dirl is trying to peddle, isn’t every political campaign “a public conspiracy to tamper with the natural flow of an election”?  Don’t the candidates and all their functionaries attempt to get people to vote for them who might not otherwise do so?  Isn’t it the goal, as a matter of fact, of each candidate’s campaign to interfere with what might be considered the “natural flow” of every election?  Without such “public conspiracies”, how would any challenger get elected?
Isn’t the “natural flow” to re-elect the incumbent, who was previously chosen by the people?
This whole line of thinking is pure nonsense.

"If the good men are silent only the wicked are heard.” - Edmund Burke

It is perfectly legal, I don’t want to infringe the first Amendment.

But you know what else is legal? burning the flag, the MSM and its brainwashing, and so is Rush’s mass coagulation of his listeners on a mission to sabotage and disrupt the Indiana elections.

They’re legal, but for a man like Rush, who I love as a Republican pundit, I think it was rather below him to do such a thing.

I’m glad you understand my term “public conspiracy” RZ, because you are right, at least it was public.  But of course, it couldn’t be achieved in any other way.  It wouldn’t have been massive and thus effective.

I actually love the outcome of his “Operation Chaos!”, but I dissent with the action that it took to produce these lovely results.

Burning the flag is legal, but that doesn’t make it RIGHT.  With our own freedom and thus responsibility, we must choose not to abuse it.

Docdave, you’re right.  It isn’t much of a problem or an issue.

I, personally, was outraged at the audaciousness of Limbaugh’s move as an idol conservative who sticks to moral principles.

That isn’t leadership qualities to me.  I want people’s thoughts on that.

dirl, I really don’t have much of an opinion on Rush especially as I don’t listen to him very often [I’m not into talk radio).  However he seems to satify a market need and in the long run that is all that matters, assuming he isn’t breaking any laws.

Being liberal is never having to admit you’re wrong

That isn’t leadership qualities to me.  I want people’s thoughts on that.

DailyKos did the same thing for their state Republican runup and to torpedo their liberal but honorable senator who is now an independant.  If DailyKos does it, it might be legal but it is unquestionably unethical.

I’m an electoral purist, lay the cards on the table and vote for the one you agree with most and is the least sleazy.  I could be wrong but I don’t believe it actually changed anything, hard to tell with a race this close though.

...Rush’s mass coagulation of his listeners on a
mission to sabotage and disrupt the Indiana elections.

More bullshit from you.  Rush advocated for the candidate he wanted in that election, which is what every American is entitled to do.  He was right to do it, as he wants the election to turn out the way he wants, just like everyone else who expresses an opinion.  Your desperate spinning is nonsense.

Dirl asked for opinons on whether Limbaugh’s “Operation Chaos” crossed the line.

Rush has had a lot of fun with this over the last few weeks while pundits and candidates have rationalized the effectiveness of OC or whether it even really amounts to anything.

Until there is factual, emperical data available, we are all speculating on whether OC really existed or worked.

Does Rush have the right?  Absolutely?

Should he do it?  Well, that’s a more personal matter which each of us must decide for ourselves.

One fact is certain:  Cross-party voting in primaries has been going on for decades.

"If the good men are silent only the wicked are heard.” - Edmund Burke

As far as the subject matter of this thread is concerned, the real problem for the Dems isn’t Rush, it’s their own identity politics.  You have two Dem special interest groups pitted against each other: women and blacks.  If the Dems were really sincere about their desire to help blacks, they shouldn’t have run anyone against Obama, and ditto for women and Hillary.  They have to throw one of their special interest groups under the bus here.  I am sure that Hillary would have contested this to the bitter end, Rush or no Rush, so while I do find it entertaining, I doubt it’s really significant in any way.
I’m enjoying the lefties twisting themselves into knows trying to make Rush wrong for exercising his free speech rights, while they never comment on the barrage of Dem propaganda emanating from the MSM 24/7.

“Trolling” is a fishing term; it consists of dragging one or more baited hooks slowly through the water, trying to get something to take the bait.
Lefties who come here and try to bait conservatives with wild and inaccurate accusations are “trolling”.
It’s not honest disagreement.
Dirl’s title was trolling, but he did seem to solicit opinions later in the text, but his own comments were highly opinionated, as if his mind is already made up.

And yes, Graves, I realized Limbaugh is not a reporter from about the 5th post on this subject.

So, has he crossed the line as an entertainer?

I also qualified my statement about him successfully tampering with the elections by saying “If so...”

Either way, I wanted input, and I’ve got some, to note: this has been going on for decades.

I’m glad Pparets has taken it upon himself to defend what is misunderstood in my absense, albeit right or wrong.

This is my first post.  I admit, the title does resemble “trolling” although that was NOT my intention.  I’ll keep it in mind the next time I post.

dirl,

I don’t agree that Rush Limbaugh “tampered” with the Democratic Primary.  He appears to have influenced it, and that is fine in my estimation.

Especially so given that despite my loathing of her and her husband, I have reluctantly concluded that she’d be less of a foreign affairs disaster than Obama.

It takes candidates as bad as Clinton and Obama to make McCain palatable in comparison.

Y’all do know that your boy Limbaugh has admitted to being nothing more than a water boy for a gop party he had lost faith in, doncha?

LIMBAUGH 11/9/06: Now, I mentioned to you at the conclusion of the previous hour that people have been asking me how I feel all night long. And I got, “Boy, Rush, I wouldn’t want to be you tomorrow. Boy, I wouldn’t want to have to do your show. Boy, I’m so glad I’m not you.” Well, folks, I love being me. I can’t be anybody else, so I’m stuck with it. But the way I feel is this: I feel liberated, and I’m just going to tell you as plainly as I can why. I no longer am going to have to carry the water for people who I don’t think deserve having their water carried. Now, you might say, “Well, why have you been doing it?”...

…I’m not trying to tell you that this is about me. I’m just answering questions that I’ve had from people about how I feel. But there have been a bunch of things going on in Congress, some of this legislation coming out of there that I have just cringed at, and it has been difficult coming in here, trying to make the case for it when the people who are supposedly in favor of it can’t even make the case themselves—and to have to come in here and try to do their jobs. I’m a radio guy. I understand what this program has become in America and I understand the leadership position it has. I was doing what I thought best, but at this point, people who don’t deserve to have their water carried, or have themselves explained as they would like to say things but somehow don’t be—aren’t able to, I’m not under that kind of pressure.

So he carried water when he knew they didn’t deserve it.

Shill?

Yeah, I think that’s called being a shill.

And you trust this turd?

I think Rush was much better when he didn’t take himself so seriously. Back when he had the lady yelling for the fems, and the “frogman” singing I Ain’t Got No Home.
