RUSH: Well, another superdelegate in the House of Representatives has announced her endorsement for Barack Obama. This is Lois Capps, who represents a district on California\u2019s Central Coast. She\u2019s the third member of Congress to announce an endorsement of Obama today, the day after he responded sharply to Reverend Wright. Snerdley, during the break here at the top of the hour, said, ‘I don\u2019t understand this. How can these superdelegates, how can they think they\u2019re going to win with this guy now?\u2019 It\u2019s not about that anymore. Folks, I have come to a profound conclusion. The Democrats\u2019 frame of mind has changed dramatically. They went into all this a year ago thinking it was a slam dunk. It was going to be Hillary, and she was going to win in a landslide. Then the Obama phenomenon started with the press coverage and the puff pieces, and it didn\u2019t really matter to them, they thought whoever, then they all got excited about Obama because he was this messianic guy, was going to unify everybody and people were fainting and all this. This is juxtaposed against what they think is the country\u2019s hatred for Republicans and George W. Bush and the war in Iraq and all this, the country\u2019s desire for new taxes, and they thought it was a slam dunk. It was going to happen regardless who they nominated. <\/p>\n

Then all this stuff started happening. Obama started losing big states. Hillary started coming on, thanks to Operation Chaos. Reverend Wright surfaced in a national way, and the wheels came off of this. Now you have the superdelegates really with no choice but than to vote Obama. He is leading in the delegate race, and if they pull this away from him, yank it out, and give it to Mrs. Clinton, they\u2019re scared to death what\u2019s going to happen to the black constituency, the black vote, so they\u2019re now operating out of fear. They have done a total 180. They\u2019re operating out of fear, not confidence, not any bravado. They are not convinced by any means they\u2019re going to win this. They know they\u2019ve got problems, but they think their problems will be worse if they went with Mrs. Clinton. Also in the House, there\u2019s a figure, there is a person of some stature in the House of Representatives, who has a vested interest in seeing to it that Mrs. Clinton stays in the Senate, and that figure, that lone figure, is Nancy Pelosi. <\/p>\n

We are smack-dab in the middle of the Queen Bee Syndrome here. Trust me when I tell you this, my friends; look at me; don\u2019t doubt me. The last thing Nancy Pelosi wants is Hillary Clinton in the Oval Office, because that would make Hillary Clinton queen bee, not just of Washington, but of the country. Nancy Pelosi will not tolerate that. That\u2019s why you\u2019re going to start seeing a number of Democrat superdelegates that are members of the House, and they all are going to start flocking to Obama. There\u2019s another reason, too. I said, ‘Snerdley, you have to understand these superdelegates watch the Drive-By Media,\u2019 and they watched the Drive-By Media last night and they\u2019re looking for damage control on this Obama press conference yesterday. What did they see? ‘Wow, what a courageous speech. What a courageous thing to do. What a brave thing to do that Barack Obama did. Why, that showed guts, that showed tenacity.\u2019 So, as far as they\u2019re concerned, the Democrat superdelegates that watched the Drive-Bys, they think it was a slam dunk; they think it was a home run. That is probably the best explanation I can give to anybody to suggest why the superdelegates are not at all alarmed. Well, they are alarmed, because they\u2019re now operating out of fear. So this has implications for Operation Chaos. <\/p>\n

As you know, Operation Chaos was put on a temporary operational pause yesterday because we wanted to gauge the Drive-By Media reaction to Obama\u2019s press conference, \u2019cause if the Drive-Bys had piled on in a commonsensical way like everyone else that\u2019s watching this with common sense is piling on, it might have been necessary for me, C-in-C USOC, Commander-in-Chief US, Operation Chaos, to issue new orders, and that would be to prop up Obama in North Carolina and Indiana. However, those orders will not be given. The original orders remain as they were. Vote Hillary. If you are one who is crossing over, a registered Republican registering now Democrat in these two states, Operation Chaos orders are for next Tuesday to continue the plan as originally implemented so as to do whatever we can to keep this chaos ongoing. These two states could be crucial. If Obama loses both of these — now, he might — you know, Indiana, that\u2019s a toss-up, and he could be in trouble there. But in North Carolina he\u2019s a little bit ahead. North Carolina he\u2019s owned ever since this got started. If Mrs. Clinton can pull an upset in North Carolina… folks, you never know what can happen other than the continuation of Operation Chaos. <\/p>\n

Now, back to Obama, I mentioned the New York Post had a story today that has a whole different take on the relationship between Obama and Reverend Wright, and it\u2019s by Fred Dicker, who is the New York state editor for the New York Post. And he writes this: ‘The Rev. Jeremiah Wright would be happy to see Barack Obama\u2019s presidential campaign derailed because the pastor is fuming that his former congregant has ‘betrayed\u2019 their 20-year relationship, the Post has learned. ‘After 20 years of loving Barack like he was a member of his own family, for Jeremiah to see Barack saying over and over that he didn\u2019t know about Jeremiah\u2019s views during those years, that he wasn\u2019t familiar with what Jeremiah had said, that he may have missed church on this day or that and didn\u2019t hear what Jeremiah said, this is seen by Jeremiah as nonsense and betrayal,\u2019 said the source, who has deep roots in Wright\u2019s Chicago community and is familiar with his thinking on the matter. ‘Jeremiah is trying to defend his congregation and the work of his ministry by saying what he is saying now,\u2019 the source added. ‘Jeremiah doesn\u2019t care if he derails Obama\u2019s candidacy or not … He knows what he\u2019s doing. Obviously, he\u2019s not a dumb man. He knows he\u2019s not helping.\u2019 The source spoke yesterday about Wright\u2019s motivation for thrusting himself back into the news.<\/p>\n

‘Wright has said the reason he has begun granting interviews and making public appearances now is that he wants to defend black churches. But the source said the preacher\u2019s motivation is much more personal. The source noted that the roots of Wright\u2019s disillusionment with Obama began last year after the Illinois senator unexpectedly yanked him from participating in the public announcement of his presidential campaign. ‘That\u2019s why Jeremiah revealed … that he had actually been at the [announcement] hotel and prayed privately with the Obama family before the official declaration.” He wanted everybody to know that he was there, even though Obama had disinvited him. ”Rev. Wright, as well as other senior members of his church, believe that Obama has betrayed over 20 years of their supposed friendship.\u2019 The source added, ‘After 20 years of loving Barack like he is one of their own, after he was embraced by this congregation as a brother in Christ, after his pastor was a father figure to him and gave him credibility in a city he had not grown up in and in a black community that was suspect of someone from Hawaii and Harvard, he thanks him by not allowing him to speak publicly at his announcement last year? A lot of people in the church believe they were there for this man when no one else was, and a lot of people don\u2019t believe it any more when Obama claims he loves the man who did so much for him.” <\/p>\n

So this is one story. It\u2019s New York Post\u2019s Fred Dicker talking to a source deep in Chicago with roots to Jeremiah Wright who says Wright is hurt, taking this personally. If this is true, an interesting question, can we expect Wright to, say, book himself on Charlie Rose? Can we expect Wright to speak out further, if this is true? Hopefully so. If he doesn\u2019t care whether he derails Obama\u2019s presidential campaign — and, by the way, it might be, in terms of Reverend Wright\u2019s own business, it might be in his best interests if Obama does lose, because then he could point to the white devils, the United States, a racist country, who denied ‘the first legitimate, clean, articulate black candidate,\u2019 quote, unquote, Joe Biden, a chance at winning the White House. I don\u2019t think we\u2019ve heard the last of this, ladies and gentlemen, and if we haven\u2019t, if Reverend Wright pops up somewhere with a continuation of this, it\u2019s going to be fun to watch, and it\u2019s going to be great to see how the Drive-Bys react to this. They\u2019ll have to turn against Jeremiah Wright. (interruption) Yes, Mr. Snerdley? Hm-hm. Yes. Hm-hm. <\/p>\n

Mr. Snerdley, our Official Obama Criticizer, by the way, has wanted me to pass on to you that he is convinced that the radical elements of the Congressional Black Caucus, which is about every member, probably right now and yesterday, on the phone with Reverend Wright, saying, ‘Shut up. Don\u2019t say any more. Go back to Chicago. Move into your house in the white neighborhood behind the gate, and don\u2019t say another word.\u2019 Could be the case. But would Jeremiah Wright pay attention to these people or is he independently minded enough, is he hurt enough, is he angry enough, does he want to destroy Obama and the Democrat Party? He\u2019s out there trying to rehab himself. He thinks he\u2019s out there trying to help Obama and now all of a sudden the whole country is dumping on Jeremiah Wright including the Democrat Party and the Drive-By Media. We\u2019ll see. We\u2019re dealing with a volatile personality here, there\u2019s no question. We\u2019ll be keeping a sharp eye on this. <\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: Listen to this. This is from the National Journal Hotline today. The headline, this little item in the Hotline: ‘Democrat Superdelegates Look to Limbaugh for Guidance,\u2019 and here\u2019s the item: ‘How serious is the threat of a Hillary comeback? Rush Limbaugh today called a temporary pause in Operation Chaos, his effort to push Republicans to vote for Hillary in the Democrat primary. Limbaugh says Obama may be so damaged by the Wright fallout that it\u2019s no longer certain Hillary would be the weaker Democrat candidate in the general election. If Rush sees it that way, might the superdelegates start seeing it that way, too?\u2019 asks the Hotline. The Hotline is this inside-the-Beltway journal and has been around a lot longer than any of the blogs. ‘Democrat Superdelegates Look to Limbaugh for Guidance.\u2019 Well, I have never assumed that the superdelegates are listening to this program; but after this, it could well be the case. So let me take a moment here, ladies and gentlemen, and address the Democrat superdelegates; given the likelihood, according to the Hotline, that they are taking guidance from this program. <\/p>\n

You guys have got trouble! You guys have trouble — and I want you to understand something, you superdelegates. The whole purpose of Operation Chaos was not to select one of these two. That\u2019s up to you. You got these two. It\u2019s your decision. Operation Chaos simply sought to create what has happened: chaos, to keep your battle going and to make your decision even tougher. The ultimate objective — if you want to say the endgame of Operation Chaos — is to see to it that neither of your candidates can win by virtue of pledged delegates resulting from primary votes, leaving it up to you. Now, as to what I\u2019m seeing today — and again, I\u2019m addressing specifically the Democrat superdelegates with total honesty, candor, and respect — is that you think Obama did not damage himself yesterday. In fact, I think it\u2019s because you people… You know, we know what media you watch, the Drive-Bys, and the Drive-Bys can mislead you as to the opinions of ambling Americans; you know, the bitter clingers out there; the people who make the country work. They don\u2019t dig what\u2019s going on here with Obama, and they don\u2019t understand how 20 years of a relationship go by and Obama is just now start to figure things out.<\/p>\n

Mr. and Mrs. Superdelegate, you have to understand: The people of this country do not believe they know more about Jeremiah Wright now than Barack Obama does. Barack Obama\u2019s trying to make it look like he didn\u2019t know this guy, who he was. Now, you got a problem here, because the Drive-By Media sanitized this yesterday and last night, and they talked about how courageously Obama dealt with this. And if you guys in the superdelegate class watch the Drive-By Media; you\u2019re going to be fooled into thinking most people think this is now over and that Obama weathered the storm — and that is not the way Americans outside the Beltway, outside the media capitals of Los Angeles and New York, are looking at this. So I understand that those of you superdelegates in the House, you\u2019re being pressured by Nancy Pelosi; your boss, your speaker; because she doesn\u2019t want Mrs. Clinton in any more powerful position than she currently is; and so she\u2019s urging Democrat superdelegates in the House to line up behind Obama. <\/p>\n

You are making decisions based on the wrong things. In this case, Pelosi is strictly thinking about herself being the most powerful woman in Washington after November, whether your party loses the White House or not. The way we see it here at Operation Chaos, you have huge problems — and I think it is time for you to start asking yourselves the important question, which was the important question a year ago, even six months ago: Who can win the presidential election? You have a candidate so damaged in Barack Obama, who has fallen so far off his lofty perch. He has gone from messiah to trash collector in inside of a month. Well, I don\u2019t want to insult trash collectors, but he\u2019s no longer the messiah. People are no longer fainting. My friend Pete Wehner made this point. Up until Jeremiah Wright hit, this campaign was about Obama and what he wanted people to think of him in terms of who he is — not what he stands for, not what his issue positions are — and now Obama has succeeded in actually amplifying that. Now people are wondering, ‘Just who is this guy?\u2019<\/p>\n

He was getting away with masking that, but when you make a campaign about yourself rather than your vision, you\u2019re having problems. I don\u2019t envy the position of those of you who are in superdelegate positions here because you have a tough call. But if you think — I just want to give you one bit of warning; I\u2019m doing this in the spirit of unity and working together, crossing the aisle, trying to be genuinely helpful to you Democrat superdelegates — if you think that Obama has weathered the storm, and if you think that Obama is not damaged by this Wright fallout, you are making a mistake. He is very damaged, and you know what? You know it, too. You\u2019ve known it in your hearts and your minds for a long time. You know you have a flawed, inexperienced — and now very unlikely able win — candidate who you are being forced to get behind for a host of reasons; among them Pelosi in the House demanding that Hillary get no further than where she is: that gas station in South Bend, Indiana, where I just saw her. If Nancy Pelosi had her way, Hillary would stay at that gas station and pump gas. On the other side of the equation, you\u2019ve got the black vote. You\u2019re worried if you take that away from Obama after he does have a lead in the pledged delegates, you\u2019ve got big-time trouble. You do. You have serious problems. The Barack campaign is sending out Michelle (My Belle) Obama tonight on CNN to address the Wright issue, and she is one angry woman. She is one angry woman. And this is also, by the way, to counter Mrs. Clinton appearing on the Fox News Channel tonight on the O\u2019Reilly Factor. This isn\u2019t over, superdelegates.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: One other thing, ladies and gentlemen. I want to go back to this note that Cookie made me aware of in the last hour from the Hotline yesterday. The headline: ‘Democrat Superdelegates Look to Limbaugh for Guidance.\u2019 <\/p>\n

‘How serious is the threat of a Hillary comeback? Rush Limbaugh today called a temporary pause in Operation Chaos, his effort to push Republicans to vote for Hillary in the Democrat primaries. Limbaugh says Obama may be so damaged by the Wright fallout, that it\u2019s no longer certain that Hillary would be the weaker Democrat candidate in the [general] election. If Rush sees it that way, might the superdelegates start seeing it, too?\u2019 I got to thinking. This just doesn\u2019t come out of the ether. This just doesn\u2019t come out of nowhere. I mean, the Hotline just doesn\u2019t make stuff up. The people at the Hotline, you\u2019re not going to have somebody speculating about this. I know how the Drive-Bys work. They don\u2019t come up with something original. They get faxes. They get phone calls. They get e-mails, story ideas. Somebody is out there talking about this, that the Democrat superdelegates might be looking to me and Operation Chaos for guidance on what to do here. And, lo and behold, even though it\u2019s true that Lois Capps of California…<\/p>\n

Do you remember what Lois Capps is famous for? You\u2019ll remember when I tell you. Lois Capps, Democrat congresswoman from California in some budget bill, wanted something like 150 or $200,000 for tattoo removal. People had tattoos and she wanted to set up federal government tattoo removal centers for people who wanted to reverse the self-mutilation that they had engaged in. That\u2019s who she is. Anyway, she announced. She\u2019s the third member of the House today, superdelegate, to announce she\u2019s going for Obama. However, Ike Skelton, who is a member of the House from Missouri — he\u2019s from outside Kansas City — came out for Hillary today. As Missouri goes… As Missouri goes… This is a direct result of Operation Chaos. Now, this little Hotline item did not come out of nowhere. Somebody in the superdelegate ranks is paying attention to Operation Chaos. Given that, I wish to address you again. I did address the Democrat superdelegates last hour, knowing that they are listening. I want to expand on my remarks of the previous hour, because I\u2019ve been thinking about this.<\/p>\n

Since this obviously didn\u2019t come out of nowhere, those of you in this audience who are Democrat superdelegates who are undecided, there\u2019s one thing I have to tell you that you are wrong about. You have obviously switched from an attitude with an air of confidence to fear. You are operating now totally out of fear, and here\u2019s what you\u2019re afraid of. You don\u2019t have to admit it to each other, you don\u2019t have to admit it to me by calling, but be honest with yourself. You know in your heart that the guy who is leading in the pledged delegate count is damaged, damaged big. You may want to try to pretend that the Drive-By coverage of his press conference yesterday has put this behind him, that Reverend Wright is now out of the public eye and that no damage has been done; and if there was any damage, it\u2019s been fixed and repaired. You know if you are a Democrat superdelegate that that\u2019s not true. You know you got somebody here who has fallen off a very high pedestal. <\/p>\n

He\u2019s gone from messiah to average, ordinary, run-of-the-mill, inexperienced politician. Yet he\u2019s your leader. And all the news is that the superdelegates are lining up behind him, and you\u2019re worried about this, and your big fear — and trust me, I understand this. Your big fear as a Democrat superdelegate is that you know he can\u2019t win in November. You just know it. You know in your heart he can\u2019t win. This depresses you because you thought you\u2019ve had it won for the past year. You know he can\u2019t win. You don\u2019t like Mrs. Clinton, either. You\u2019d just as soon see them gone, as Jeremiah Wright is supposedly gone. But you know he can\u2019t win. Yet you\u2019re afraid to not vote for him, for one reason: You are afraid of causing a permanent fissure in the black community which votes for your presidential candidate at a rate of 90 to 92% every four years. You own the bloc of votes known as the black community, and you are scared to death that if you award this nomination to Mrs. Clinton \u2019cause you know Obama can\u2019t win, that you will forever lose the black vote; and I want to assure you, that is not the case. <\/p>\n

Very often, almost unilaterally this is true: Decisions made within the confines of fear are wrong. And you are occupying your position right now as a superdelegate, you are in total fear. So what you\u2019re thinking is skewed. You know he can\u2019t win and you\u2019re scared to death of losing the black vote forever. And I just want to assure you, Democrat superdelegates: that will not happen. Your party has done far worse to the black community in this country than simply snatch victory away from a potential presidential candidate. For 50 years, the Democrat Party has insulted the black community. You have — with the best of intentions, I might add — with the best of intentions, via the war on poverty, the civil rights movement; you have destroyed the black family and still they vote for you, to the tune of 90 to 92%. You have done so many more damaging things to the black community than simply snatching the nomination from Obama. <\/p>\n

I wouldn\u2019t worry about it if I were you. Even if there is temporary anger, even if Reverend Sharpton does promise to cause trouble; by the time November rolls around, you will have succeeded in convincing the black people that vote for you that the biggest threat they face is John McCain. You will have succeeded, and you know it. You\u2019ve been doing it for 50 years. You have no trouble convincing black voters that their biggest enemy is the Republican Party. You know how to do it. It\u2019s in your playbook. You don\u2019t even have to think it up. You don\u2019t have to memorize it. You know it; it pours out of your heart. So you don\u2019t have anything to worry about here. So my advice to you, as the commander-in-chief in US Operation Chaos, is: Follow your instincts. Your instincts are that Obama cannot win, and your instincts are right! This is a horrible position he has put your party in, with Reverend Wright and all of this. Don\u2019t worry about pulling the nomination away from him. As long as you tell people you\u2019re doing what you think best.<\/p>\n

They might disagree with you, but they will never challenge your motivation. You tell \u2019em you\u2019re doing what you think best for your party and for your country, and the black voters who might be a little angry at the outset will come along as they always have. And then, if that doesn\u2019t work — but it will. I that doesn\u2019t work, Democrat superdelegates; if there is an anchorage hubbub and if there is a little anger, and the Reverend Sharpton is out there rabble-rousing; you just continue to tell the black population of this country, like you\u2019ve been telling them for 50 years, that what you\u2019re doing is for their own good. You might even imply that you so desperately want a black president in this country, but this guy is not the guy. This guy, as president, would do more damage to the advancement of civil rights because of what you\u2019ve seen. You have to be very careful of the way you express this, but you know I\u2019m right. This is not the guy. So don\u2019t worry about pulling those delegates and the nomination away from him. Follow your instincts. Do what you think best. You\u2019ve been destroying black people for 50 years, and you still own \u2019em — and you will own \u2019em after doing this.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
