When Rush Limbaugh is your inspiration
By Tolu Olorunda
When Rush Limbaugh is your inspiration, call a listed Psychiatrist. Those who listen to the self-amusing talk-radio-show of Mr. Rush Limbaugh, understand the irreversible-tragedy of paying critical deference to his often malnourishing and reprehensible anecdotes. Rush Limbaugh at best, is a caricature of that undesirable element of adamant-conservatism.
In the preceding weeks of the Super-Tuesday primaries, Rush Limbaugh “urged” his Republican listener-base to unethically and illegally cross-over their alliance, and vote for Senator Hillary Clinton, the Democratic rival of Senator Barack Obama. This battered logic, is a political sting-operation only Rush Limbaugh and the like can possibly conceive. The “objective”, and I use the word lightly, was to dissipate Senator Obama’s electoral chances, and force a Senator Clinton vs. Senator McCain National Head-up match.
This pathetic agenda is structured upon a regrettable foundation, given the event that Clinton is perceived openly by Conservatives as a weaker opponent—(Patriarchy Renewed). In spite of the immorality and idiocy involved, some voters (who pledge allegiance to the Republic of Rush) actually hearkened to his call, and like every noble steward, now face the twinge of their little-considered actions.
Like the old saying goes, for every action there is a reaction, and Rush Limbaugh’s present albatross couldn’t yield more validation. Last week, The Board of Election in Cuyahoga County, Ohio, launched an investigation into possible illegal crossover voting in the State's 2008 presidential primary. In Ohio, such irregularity constitutes a fifth-degree felony, punishable with a $2,500 fine and 6 to 12 months in jail.
Now that the chickens have come home to roost, the agricultural question of the day remains: Will Mr. Limbaugh accept the responsibility of impressing upon his minions an unlawful act, or deny any involvement, despite substantive proof of both audio- visual and textual content. Either way, I suspect Arianna Huffington (Woman Extraordinaire) would find some solace, in the goddess of repercussion’s timely arrival.
In the year 2008, it is most depressing that there still is a considerable amount of “people” whose drive and motivation is the blather of lunatics like Rush Limbaugh. It is absolutely offensive to one’s dignity, to collate un-investigated advice from registered talking-heads. Looking down the line of concerned citizens, there is enormous encouragement from the seizure of this historical-electoral race by folks of an overlooked reality (The financially disempowered). But a long way to go, we definitely have in stimulating the consciousness of those who have historically voted on party-affiliation or racial-tribalism.
In parting words, I hope the souls of the “Limbaugh-Mannequins” are forgiven, and some courage is supplied the next time such an event repeats itself. Indeed he never fails to overwhelm us.
Peace!

Operation Chaos
Operation Chaos continues....
I sincerely doubt that Tolu
I sincerely doubt that Tolu has ever spent 5 minutes listening to the Rush Limbaugh program. It's likely that Tolu's knowledge of Rush, like most on the left, comes only from reading twisted intrepretations of his comments at Media Matters for America. Yes, there's ignorance on display here, but it isn't coming from Rush.
God Bless The Rush Limbaugh

"Will Mr. Limbaugh accept
"Will Mr. Limbaugh accept the responsibility of impressing upon his minions an unlawful act"
Never. No matter how much the partisan Democrats on the Cuyahoga County Election Board would like to make voting an criminal act for thousands of Republicans, it not. In fact, Ohio's Secretary of State said "...voting is the the form of free speech that enjoys the greatest constitutional protection."
If this attempt at voter intimidation by the Democrats continues, their Democrat chickens that are going to be ROOSTED. While thousands of Democrats and Republicans crossover to vote in the primary, the Democrats in Cuyahoga County decided to only investigate Republicans. Not only are they risking thousand of lawsuits for violation of these voters First Amendment rights, but also their Fourteenth Amendment right to equal protection. It appears that they Democrats on this election board endorse the right for the Democrats to crossover, but not the Republicans.
Then they have the problem that they ONLY asked SOME voters who voted in person to sign these "pledge forms", another 14th Amendment violation. On top of that, absentee voters could ask for any primary ballot without having to sign this form. This is a third violation of the equal protection clause.
Further, we could argue that since no county has ever enforced this law since it was put on the books 100 years ago, and that this law is unconstitutional, that this is actually a form of voter intimidation. This would be a violation of the Voting Rights Act of 1965.
I say, Democrats, bring it on. Let's see just how far you get before YOU face charges for violating the civil rights of these Cuyahoga County voters.
