Operation Chaos. Now that it's essentially over, what was it about?

Most everybody knows this and this not meant as an insult them, but it is a
primer for those few that don't.  There is also a large contingent of
people
who flat don't care.  Tough cookies to them:

Operation Chaos Goals Restated for All You Nervous Conservatives
May 5, 2008


BEGIN TRANSCRIPT
RUSH: Ladies and gentlemen, I want to start the hour here by restating the
origins of Operation Chaos and the goal, because I am continuing to
receive
mail, e-mail from people, you, who listen in this audience, who are
getting
panicked and paranoid that Mrs. Clinton is going to end up winning this
whole thing and that it will be my fault and that if that happens, you are
never, ever, going to listen to this program again.  May we go back,
ladies
and gentlemen, and restate the purpose of Operation Chaos.  It is
im****tant
for all of you operatives to know that I cannot handle and will not
tolerate
dissension in the ranks, and I will not tolerate less than a positive,
energetic attitude as we approach another battle, two more battles
tomorrow.
The purpose of Operation Chaos was to politically bloody up Barack Obama
when we started this.  We started this right before the Texas and Ohio
primaries and cauci.  The Republican Party and Senator McCain had made it
clear, had made it plain they were not going to be critical of Barack
Obama.
At the time Obama was sailing to what appeared to be a surefire victory.
Operation Chaos was formed for the express purpose of keeping the Democrat
primary system alive as long as possible, and who better to bloody up
Obama
politically than the Clintons?  He has to be bloodied up; he has to be
taken
off that game of messiah that he was on.  This has worked.  

Operation Chaos has exceeded all objectives.  The purpose of Operation
Chaos
was not to see to it that either one of these two is the nominee.  We at
Operation Chaos, your commanding officers, do not think we have that kind
of
power over this race.  That's not the objective.  The Democrat primary is
going to turn out however it turns out, and it's going to turn out on the
basis of the superdelegates and how they wish to go.  Now, I have advised
and addressed superdelegates on this program on numerous occasions last
week, telling them that they should not fear what they are fearing, and
that
is going ahead and nominating Obama because if they take it away from him,
even though he's losing all these primaries, they will forever lose the
black vote.  They will not.  They have done far more damage to black
people
in this country with 50 years of liberal Democrat policies, than taking
the
nomination away from Obama, and blacks continue to vote Democrat.  They
stay
with the Democrat Party.  That's not a fear that the superdelegates need
to
have.  So please understand the purpose of Operation Chaos.  We don't have
a
crystal ball here.  We have no idea who the nominee is going to be.  We
really don't.  I mean, the conventional wisdom is it's Obama's.  Okay,
fine.
The purpose has been to keep this -- and it's worked, you have to admit.  

Obama has now been taken off of his game big time and he hasn't gotten it
back.  The Drive-Bys are circling the wagons trying to get him back on his
game.  I saw his speech last night in Indianapolis, I watched it.  It's
not
the same Obama.  It wasn't a bad speech, but it wasn't the same Obama.
There was nothing lofty in it, there was none of this messianic stuff,
nothing about the future and hope and change.  He got issue-specific and
spent most of his time criticizing Senator McCain, who in turn has said he
will not turn around and criticize Senator Obama.  So the purpose of this
has succeeded beyond our wildest objectives, keep the primary going.  If
these primaries tomorrow, let's say that Obama wins them both, even by the
smallest of margins, the Drive-By Media is going to be ecstatic.  Even the
New York Times, which endorsed Hillary, has basically thrown her under the
bus, along with Obama trying to throw Wright under the bus, and they, for
all intents and purposes, have chosen Obama.  I don't know about the
editorial page, but the front page news re****ters covering the campaign,
it
is clear that the Drive-By Media throughout wants Obama.  

Joan Walsh, who's the editrix of Salon.com has admitted, we have a sound
bite, most of the Drive-By Media hate Mrs. Clinton; they despise her.  The
largest element of sup****t that she's getting, if you can call it sup****t,
is via Operation Chaos.  What this tells me as your commanding officer is
that had Operation Chaos not been implemented, this would have been over
long ago and we'd be dealing with a far different Obama than we are today,
an Obama that has not been damaged, an Obama that has not been brought
down
to earth, an Obama that would not have been seen as just an average,
run-of-the-mill politician.  And for whom do we have to thank for that?
None other than the Reverend J. Wright, the Reverend J. Wright, he's just
a
politician, he's saying what he has to say, and that's what really burned
Obama up, because Obama really does think he's special.  Obama thinks he
is
unique.  Obama thinks he is a cut above.  He's been brought down now.
Operation Chaos has as its objective exactly what's happened here.  It is
not in our battle plan -- sort of like Operation Desert Storm was not to
take out Saddam -- Operation Chaos is not to determine who wins the
Democrat
primary.  It is to see to it that it extends as long as possible, that the
superdelegates have to make the choice, in the process committing
political
murder, and that hopefully this goes on through the Democrat convention in
August, the 25th through the 28th, with the Republican convention
following
the very next week.  

Now, last night, before Mrs. Clinton took to the stage, took to the podium
in Indianapolis at their Jefferson-Jackson Dinner, they received news, and
I
am told this from inside sources, that Mrs. Clinton's people told her that
her internals show her losing Indiana.  They told her this just before she
took the stage and made the speech last night.  They don't think,
according
to the internal polls in the Clinton campaign, that she has it in Indiana.
Which tells me, when I heard this last night -- and I trust the source, by
the way.  I don't think I'm being played here.  I trust the source.  It
simply told me last night that if Mrs. Clinton's own internals show her
losing Indiana, it's time to give her a push today. So the orders were
issued in our first hour from here at headquarters, all of you who have
registered Democrat, and you Republicans who have registered Democrat,
vote
Hillary to keep this going.  Don't worry about who wins the nomination.
It's not the point now.  It is not something over which we have any
control,
but we can influence how long this thing gets dragged out.  
 Now, the Zogby poll is interesting.  This is on their Internet site
yesterday, both Indiana and North Carolina.  In North Carolina it's Obama
48, Clinton 39, so that's a nine-point spread for Obama.  It should be
pointed out that Obama has turned around and doubled back and gone back to
North Carolina.  His original plan did not call for him to be in North
Carolina today.  He was going to stick it out in Indiana.  But he's
doubled
back and gone back there, which tells me that his internals are showing
that
it's tightening up there.  Now, this was supposed to be a massive
landslide
runaway because of the black vote.  Howard Dean didn't help things last
night, because in North Carolina, you got a bunch of good old boys.  You
got
the blue-collar white voters that Hillary is succeeding in getting, thanks
to Operation Chaos, in Pennsylvania, Texas, and Ohio, but Obama can't get
'em.  He didn't pull 'em off, and he spent a lot more money in North
Carolina than he intended to.  In Indiana, it's a statistical dead heat:
Obama 43, Clinton 41.  This is as of May 2nd and 3rd in both states, 43-41
is Obama, a statistical dead heat.  Mrs. Clinton was thought by the
conventional wisdom to win this one.  

However, her internals prior to her speech last night said that it looked
bad, that her people didn't think she could win, hence the orders from
headquarters today and you might want to smirk at Zogby, but his numbers
in
Pennsylvania, he got the exact percentage, got the exact percentage right.
I don't know if that will hold true in Indiana once the votes are counted
tomorrow night.  So if she doesn't win either, the Drive-Bys are just
going
to go orgasmic over Obama, and you're going to hear calls for Mrs. Clinton
to once again get out, and the pressure will be brought on Bill Clinton to
tell her it's over, can we stop this?  This is causing all kinds of
problems
in our party.  And they really don't want to the pressure on their
superdelegates.  What does she do?  Does she stay in to try to dominate
West
Virginia and Kentucky?  Yes.  She's a fighter.  She is not a quitter. 
She's
not going away no matter what happens tomorrow.  I don't think there's
going
to be a blowout in either state.  We don't know.  We'll have to wait and
see.  But she's not going anywhere.  Snerdley, I know what you're laughing
about in there.  

I'm not giving her a pep talk.  Snerdley thinks I'm giving her a pep talk.
Have you forgotten who we're dealing with here?  We are dealing with the
Clintons.  This is the thing that she has lived for, it's the reason she
put
up with all of that excrement daily being married to that lug head that
she's married to.  This is the payoff.  She's going to say
"Congratulations,
Obama, you've run a really great race and I'm heading back to the kitchen
to
bake cookies."  Do you think that's going to happen?  You know they don't
quit.  And with the Drive-By Media lining up all against them, that's
gonna
fuel 'em up even more.  Oh, way to go, Dawn, way to go.  This is why she
thinks I have a crush on her, because I'm giving you honest political
analysis, ladies and gentlemen.
