RUSH: Listen to this from Barack Obama, yesterday, in Greensboro, North Carolina at a campaign event. He\u2019s talking about his former pastor, the Reverend Jeremiah Wright. <\/p>\n

OBAMA: This is somebody who was preachin\u2019 three sermons, at least a week for 30 years and got boiled down, they found five or six of his most offensive statements, boiled that down into a half an hour sound clip — or a — a — a half-minute sound clip, and just played it over and over and over again, partly because it — it — it — it spoke to the racial divisions that we have in this country and it tapped into some of those divisions. I — I hope people don\u2019t get distracted by that. <\/line><\/p>\n

RUSH: Too late.<\/p>\n

OBAMA: We cannot sooolve the problems of America if every time somebody somewhere says something stupid, that everybody gets up in arms and we forget about the war in Iraq or we forget about the economy.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Nice try, Barack, but the dirty little secret is that you, sir, are the candidate of ‘unity.\u2019 If you are the candidate of unity, why can\u2019t you even bring your own party together? Why can\u2019t you and Hillary get together and solve this, instead of having Operation Chaos prolong all of this disunity? I mean, these people are starting to tear each other apart now. This is great, by the way. This is exactly the purpose. When we sat down and designed Operation Chaos, this was exactly the purpose. This guy can\u2019t unify anybody, and now he\u2019s blaming us for his pastor. <\/p>\n

(playing of Obama apology spoof)<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: Operation Chaos. Did you see Mrs. Clinton last night by any chance on the Fox News Channel with Greta Van Susteren? They\u2019re not going anywhere, folks! I told you yesterday. She\u2019s talking about a credentials fight at the convention! <\/p>\n

They have no intention of losing this nomination, and Clinton\u2019s out there saying to Obama, (doing Bill Clinton impression) ‘Hey, look, pal, you know you\u2019re sitting out there and you\u2019re acting all upset, all these attacks. If you don\u2019t want to get hit, then you don\u2019t get in the ring. If you don\u2019t want to get hit, then don\u2019t get in politics. You\u2019re going to have to man up out there, man. You\u2019re acting like wimp and a little baby. If you think we\u2019re going away, you can\u2019t unify. Ask Limbaugh. Limbaugh knows. He knows me, he knows us, you\u2019re whistling Dixie down there pal. You don\u2019t want to whistle that too loud where you\u2019ve been lately.\u2019 <\/p>\n

So they\u2019re having all kinds of problems uniting people here, and Obama is the lead unifier, and it ain\u2019t going to happen. <\/p>\n

In fact, Joe Klein, at TIME Magazine, has suggested, ladies and gentlemen, that if they actually go to the convention and it falls apart there, they have their credentials fight, that the superdelegates, just take a hundred superdelegates to say, ‘Nope, we\u2019re not voting for either of these two. We want Algore.\u2019 Joe Klein at TIME Magazine is suggesting Algore and Obama as the ticket. Mr. Klein, you know the Clintons as well as any of us, and you know that that isn\u2019t going to fly. <\/p>\n

So Operation Chaos, ladies and gentlemen, is unfolding before our eyes in ways we wouldn\u2019t even have dreamt of. It is delightful to see. At the Christian Science Monitor today, there\u2019s a story by Dante Chinni, and it\u2019s actually quite hilarious. The guy\u2019s headline is this: ‘Rushing to Register? Limbaugh\u2019s Efforts Not Yet Showing Signs of Big Effects in Pennsylvania,\u2019 which is wishful thinking on the part of the Drive-By Media. But by the end of this guy\u2019s piece he\u2019s not so sure that Operation Chaos won\u2019t have an impact, details coming up. In the meantime, on Fox &amp; Friends this morning on the Fox News Channel, Gretchen Carlson is talking with the official judge of the Fox News Channel, Andrew Napolitano who looks — and he\u2019s a friend of mine, don\u2019t misunderstand — he looks like an adult Eddie Munster. Judge Napolitano is asked the following question by the lovely and gracious Gretchen Carlson. ‘Hillary Clinton claims victory in Ohio in the state\u2019s Democrat presidential primary. Now some of the voters who may have helped her get that win, could go to jail.\u2019<\/p>\n

NAPOLITANO: It\u2019s true that they could face jail. It\u2019s true that some election commissioners in one county in Ohio want to investigate this. It is extremely unlikely that they would ever go to jail for exercising their right to vote in somebody else\u2019s primary. Rush Limbaugh was participating in a great American institution. This has been going on for a hundred years. You vote in your opponent\u2019s party and you vote for the weaker of the candidates in your opponent\u2019s party. <\/p>\n

Look, the Supreme Court has ruled unanimously that no government official can interrogate you as to who you voted for and why you voted for that person.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Nor can they sit out there and have loyalty oaths as they did in Ohio. So it\u2019s going to be very interesting to watch these next few months, ladies and gentlemen. Who\u2019s going to fix this? Who is going to fix the mess the Democrat Party\u2019s found itself in? Harry Reid gonna fix it? Howard Dean gonna work it out? Superdelegates, are they going to settle this? What, are we being had? Senator Obama, we are told, is first an instrument of hope and then an instrument of change. Obama and his followers say that his biggest asset is bringing both sides together. His both sides are liberals. Both sides in the fight on the Democrat Party are liberals. Some might call themselves progressives, but others might call themselves liberals. But that\u2019s another story for another time. Obama and his followers and his adorers have decided he can bring us all together, that he can reach across aisles, he can reach across oceans. Who knows, he might be able to reach across galaxies, bring people together, to find common ground from the mountaintop, and so, my friends, Operation Chaos is now facing its greatest challenge. Will Obama show his proclaimed talents, reach across the aisle to the Clinton campaign — have you ever stopped to really consider this? This fight is between liberals and liberals. The war is between liberals and liberals. If you can\u2019t unify liberals, how in the world can you unify anybody else? If he can do it, then he might be able to put an end to Operation Chaos, which is now facing its greatest challenge if Obama shows his proclaimed talents to reach across the aisle to the Clinton campaign. If Obama can convince her, her being Hillary, then he might well convince the rest of us. <\/p>\n
