So they’re implying, ladies and gentlemen, that Operation Chaos, the operational pause was due to their report. I can understand. I can understand a local television station wanting to think they’re a factor in a major nationwide operation, and they’re doing a hard-hitting investigation out there, that’s what local TV news is known for. I don’t want to deflate them. I don’t want to ruin their day out there in the newsroom at WISH-TV, but the operational pause in Operation Chaos was due strictly to the Obama press conference yesterday while we awaited what I knew was going to happen, media reaction, because we had to determine what course of action we would order next given the media reaction to Obama yesterday. And I can just tell you, the operational pause is now lifted. Operation Chaos is back at full speed, and we have no change in direction, orders from headquarters remain exactly what they are: You are to go out and sustain the Democrat primary season by virtue of voting for Hillary Clinton. Nothing has changed, ladies and gentlemen, nothing whatsoever.
END TRANSCRIPT

When did Limbaugh become so outwardly crazy? I mean, I completely understand the utility of what he’s describing: means justify the ends, realpolitik, etc. The part that’s insane is the manner in which it is presented. Because Limbaugh’s broadcast is so personally identifiable, he is inextricably entwined with this effort to undermine the democratic process. Don’t get me wrong - there’s much worse than “Operation Chaos,” which is, in the end of the day, just a media prank.

Particularly when paired with Limbaugh’s egomaniacal delivery, Operation Chaos is a seriously morally questionable action.
