Guest theloneranger100@aol.com Posted March 28, 2008 Share Posted March 28, 2008 Yup........"Operation Chaos" Marches ON!........Heehee........... "Limbaugh safe from voter-fraud charges Radio host encouraged fans to vote Democratic Friday, March 28, 2008 2:59 AM THE COLUMBUS DISPATCH 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." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
