Guest you lose Posted March 28, 2008 Report Share Posted March 28, 2008 Limbaugh safe from voter-fraud charges Radio host encouraged fans to vote Democratic Friday, March 28, 2008 2:59 AM By Mark Niquette THE COLUMBUS DISPATCH Like Politics?

BuzzRadio talk-show host Rush Limbaugh has been telling his audience for days now that he could be indicted for encouraging Ohio Republicans to take a Democratic ballot in the March 4 primary in what he calls "Operation Chaos." Could that actually happen? Not likely, Ohio officials say. "We have no intention of prosecuting Rush Limbaugh because lying through your teeth and being stupid isn't a crime," said Leo Jennings, a spokesman for Democratic Attorney General Marc Dann. When asked whether she has concerns about what Limbaugh did, Secretary of State Jennifer Brunner, a Democrat, replied, "I think it's very bad form, but I think most voters are intelligent enough to make their own decisions." Limbaugh's "Operation Chaos" in Ohio, Pennsylvania and other states holding presidential primaries is designed to help presumptive Republican nominee John McCain win the Nov. 4 election. The idea is to encourage Republicans in those states to vote for Hillary Clinton as a way to prolong the Democratic fight for the nomination with Barack Obama, possibly making it more difficult for Democrats to unite in the fall. Some critics have complained that Limbaugh is improperly encouraging voters to break the law. In Ohio, party-switchers are supposed to sign a form attesting, under penalty of election falsification -- a felony -- that they support the principles of the party whose ballot they are obtaining. But Jennings said it would be difficult to prosecute anyone because they also have constitutionally protected freedom of speech and it's hard to prove voter intent. "You can't just make the assumption that someone is lying," Jennings said. Neither Limbaugh nor a spokesman could be reached, but Limbaugh has a transcript posted on his Web site addressing listeners concerned about being charged with voter fraud. "I wouldn't worry about it," Limbaugh said. "Look at this as a badge of honor, ladies and gentlemen. If anybody gets indicted, if anybody has to go jail, it will be me -- and I'll do my program from jail for the short amount of time I will be there before I am excused and the charges dismissed. "I had the temerity, ladies and gentlemen, to tinker with a tradition, a liberal Democrat tradition: voter manipulation." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Rushjudgement Posted March 28, 2008 Report Share Posted March 28, 2008 Governor Patterson........please call your office! @ Limbaugh is about as pertinent to modern politics as the horse and buggy is to modern transportation. He now is resorting to hijinx instead of discussing issues (not that he did that before, mind you). Nobody takes him seriously anymore. I think, as I observe, that most people look at him a little sadly, a man who could have made a difference, but instead chose to make a mockery of himself.

Guest Guest Posted March 28, 2008 Report Share Posted March 28, 2008 While you sweat Rush and his insignificant life and show, here's what's going on in the real world: http://www.cnn.com/2008/WORLD/meast/03/28/...main/index.html BAGHDAD, Iraq (CNN) -- Baghdad was on virtual lockdown Friday as a tough new curfew ordered everyone off the streets of the Iraqi capital and five other cities until 5 p.m. Sunday. That restriction didn't stop someone from firing rockets and mortar rounds into the capital's heavily fortified International Zone, commonly known as the Green Zone. One slammed into the office of one of Iraq's vice presidents, Tareq al-Hashemi, killing two guards. Tell me again how I'm surrendering. How the battle for Baghdad has been won for awhile. How al qaeda is on the run. Please.......... tell me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why have there been no attacks here since 9/11????? Why???? Because Bush did what he said he was going to do. That is what upsets you the most. If the dems want to end our involvement over there, they can do it tomorrow. They won't, why? Because they know more than you do about what is going on over there. Call Hillary, Call Schumer, Call Hinchey. Tell them to get our troops out of there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, I do not, but it is VERY apparent that you do. You seem to be one of the few people left who insist on drinking the Limbaugh Kool-Aid. Good luck with that. @ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good luck with that. @ You are laughable as portrayed on everyone of the DNC networks (abc-cbs-nbc-cnn-msnbc-cnbc-pbs) for the last 4 weeks they hyperventilate on every word that rush speaks. He is the DNC biggest worry other than the fact that the people in this country have actually figured out what their two star candidates are really all about. Can You say OPERATION CHAOS!!!!!!!!!

I am neither a democrat nor would my views be considered liberal. Unlike you, I can think freely for myself without having a political party or an overweight has-been on the radio telling me what I should think. Keep it up, and you'll keep us laughing. Thanks!
