Will Rush Limbaugh Be Indicted for Voter Fraud? »

Posted By not2needy 1 year, 7 months ago in News

In case you missed it, Rush Limbaugh, the nation's top-rated talk radio host, was urging Republicans in Texas and Ohio to skip their party's primary on March 4 and instead cast a vote for Hillary Clinton in order to prolong the fight between her and Barack Obama. And that Tuesday, as media in both states reported, thousands of Republicans did just

    FTA:

    And on Wednesday, the day after the Ohio primary, Fox News asked Clinton if she owed Limbaugh a thank you. "Be careful what you wish for, Rush," she replied. Later that day, Limbaugh played the Fox tape on his show and said, "How do you interpret this, folks? She could have said thank you. She could have said thank you! In fact, I was expecting in her victory speech last night to be thanked.

    "I helped give Mrs. Clinton the biggest and happiest moment and night of the campaign season so far, maybe her life, and she tells me, "Be careful what you wish for, Rush"? Why, that sounds like a threat, does it not? I've got a Democrat presidential candidate threatening your host. Why, I am stunned! After all I did ..."

    An evil troll and dope addict. No conscience, bigot!

    Also FTA:

    While this all makes for great talk radio and sounds like fun, there is one catch: What Limbaugh encouraged Republican voters to do in Ohio was a fifth-degree felony in that state, punishable with a $2,500 fine and six to 12 months in jail. That is because in order to change party affiliation in Ohio, voters have to fill out a form swearing allegiance to that party's principles "under penalty of election falsification."

    Prosecute that SOB, don't talk about it, do it. That bunch needs consequences.

    I've got no problem with them prosecuting Rush for this if they can prove there is something there. As long as they do the same for the Democratic pundits who encouraged the same behavior in the Republican primary. More than one of them, possibly The Huffington, too, encouraged Democrats to switch registration and vote for Ron Paul. For less than altruistic reasons.

    LMAO! I'm afraid, though, it would take some doing to go over the list of those who voted, and see if they were registered republicans previously. Then of course they'd have to swear they took Limbats advise, or even heard what he said. Kind of ironic that the slob is saved by 'liberal' protections of the burden of proof.

    I wish it would amount to something. Unfortunately, the guy gets away with having 10,000 prescription pills, getting caught with illegal Viagra on his way back from the underage prostitute wonderland of the Dominican Republic and now tries to continue to pervert Democracy. After seeing what happened in Ohio in 2004....no, I don't have any hope at all that this will amount to anything. Maybe when monkeys fly out of my...

    The bigger question I think is why are Republicans so afraid to compete fairly in the marketplace of ideas?

    "The bigger question I think is why are Republicans so afraid to compete fairly in the marketplace of ideas?"

    THAT is the root of all their evil. They cannot compete fairly.

    It should be illegal anywhere to attempt to influence an election through fraudulent actions. Crossover voting for nefarious reasons is a fraudulent action, no matter what the law says (in Texas, it is perfectly legal).

    I am glad that the fraud didn't do any thing more than give Hillary the appearance of a victory in Texas. After the dust settles she might have earned fewer delegates than Obama. The repugs could do their dirty deeds in the ballot booth, but they didn't dare show up for the caucuses, thus Obama at worst, gets a tie in delegates.

    How that drug addled blowhard, who has no morals, no honor, and only a passing acquaintance with truth, could have so many loyal listeners is a mystery. Oh wait, no morals, no honor...of course!! birds of a feather!

    Rush Limberger is another evil loyalist. There's really nothing good to say about these conservatives who fool themselves into thinking they have some moral high ground. There comes a point where it becomes ridiculous to support Bush or McCain.

    wow! what a hatefest going on here...

    sorry, but how on earth would these charges be proven? Last time I looked, there were supposed to be secret ballots, so exactly how would you know who someone voted for? Are you suggesting we not only have to tell who we're voting for, but that we have to vote for whomever for "approved" reasons? Who gets to approve the "approved reasons?"

    If I am registered to vote, and I am who I say I am, how on earth can my vote be fraudulent?

    "Operation Chaos" is awesome! McCain is too much of a wuss to attack Obama (who is just begging to be asked some tough questions by SOMEONE) so may as well let Hillary do the dirty work.

    And my point would be this:

    Republicans and Independents have every right to cross over to vote for whomever they want to vote for. Just as Democrats have crossed over to vote for McCain to prevent Romney from getting the nomination. This is a democracy after all. You can vote for whomever you want for whatever personal reason you wish. That is America.

    Get to the point you spineless freaks. You are all upset because your candidates are tearing each other apart. And they will not stop for the good of the party. That is the difference between Republicans and Democrats. Democrats care more about political power than they do about the the good of the country. Hillary would ride the Democratic Party into the ground if she thinks she can win the Whitehouse. Obama too.

    The interesting story is, it it had not been for all the Repugnicon crossover votes Hillary got - votes she has NO EARTHLY CHANCE of getting in the general election - she lost both Texas and Ohio in a landslide.

    So much for the sudden Hillary momentum.

    To respond to something you said above Mogger. If the days when Democrats had a pair is referring to the days when the Democrats (modern Republican party) were nothing more than a bunch of white-trash racist Metathesiophobe? Then I would rather be a limp-wristed liberal. You are the worst kind of human imaginable moggy

      Silly article, not even the Ohio dems are considering this.

      FTA: "But Michael Slater of Project Vote, a nonpartisan group that designs voter registration drives for low-income people, said GOP meddling in the Ohio Democratic Primary was a clear-cut example of fraudulent voting,..."

      From the Project Vote site: "Several of these ID laws have prompted lawsuits from voting rights advocates, because they disproportionately impact the elderly, students, women, people with disabilities, low income people and people of color."

      So, just about everyone except middle and upper-income white men. Surely just a coincidence.

        Rush had nothing what so ever to do with what vote I cast. I think there were more than a few other people here in Ohio which were capible of doing their own thinking also.

              That Rush Limberger has a brain that sees narrower and narrower. He was poppin ludes because he couldn't keep looking at that face in the mirror- realizing what a narrow-minded, selfish, unrepentive, and conservative sack of crap he had become.

              I accidentally had this guy's radio show on one day and he was blasting John McCain. What's his story? Is he waiting for the law to change so Bush can get a third term?

              I think he and his Republican buddies are angry that they could not get more of the same and that the American public actually got to choose three people who they think will succeed in office.

                ahhh poor liberal weenies, it hurts so much to thank the country as a whole does not think the way you do. You may be able to get a majority of lefties here on Libscape to ramble on about Limbaugh but it really kills you to that he has the largest audience of any talk show or tv news show. That creepy Al Franken and Air America dies on the vine so you have to turn to hate speach here. He can not be indited for anything. If I told you to jump off a bridge and you did does that make me a criminal or you just plain stupid.
