Abrams praises investigation of Limbaugh's Dem primary 'dirty tricks'
David Edwards and Nick Juliano
Published: Tuesday March 25, 2008
This month's primaries in Ohio and Texas resurrected Hillary Clinton
from the political graveyard for the umpteenth time this election
season.
Conservative talker Rush Limbaugh is taking credit for Clinton's
continued presence in the race after encouraging Republican voters to
switch parties before those two big states voted March 4, and he has
called on Pennsylvania GOPers to do the same before their state votes
April 22. Limbaugh's listeners are worried about an election fraud
investigation, which could result in criminal charges for voters in at
least one Ohio county.
MSNBC host Dan Abrams says the right-wing radio host's aim is "to
subvert democracy and inject dirty tricks into the Democratic
nomination process."
"I've said it before, I think it's un-American to encourage people to
vote for a candidate they don't want to win, in order to corrupt the
process," Abrams said. "But in Ohio, it may also be illegal."
He went on to discuss a probe in Cuyahoga County, which includes
Cleveland, where Board of Elections officials are launching an
investigation into crossover voters to determine whether any are
guilty of election fraud, a felony. Results of the investigation will
be released March 31.
It's unlikely that Limbaugh single-handedly swung the results to
Clinton in either state, as was his stated intention. Clinton and her
Democratic rival Barack Obama split Republicans in Ohio, and Obama won
Texas Republicans, according to network exit polls.
In Ohio's Cuyahoga County, which includes Cleveland, the Plain Dealer
reported that a "staggering" 16,000 Republicans switched parties to
vote in the March 4 Democratic primary. Some GOP voters openly
acknowledged their intention to meddle with the opposing party,
writing messages like "For one day only" on pledges voters are
required to sign indicating they will support the party whose primary
they are voting in.
As staggering as the Cuyahoga County figure seemed, exit polls suggest
crossover voters may have been even more prevalent elsewhere in the
state. Nearly 325,000 voters cast a ballot for either Obama or Clinton
in the Cleveland area, so Republicans accounted for about 5 percent of
the Democratic turnout. Statewide, Republicans made up about 9 percent
of the Democratic primary electorate, according to the exit polls.
Obama has touted his support among independents and GOP voters --
so-called Obamacans -- and while some crossover voters told the PD
they voted for Clinton to set up an easy target for John McCain in the
fall, others said they thought Obama would be an easier opponent.
Plenty of Republicans also voted Democratic out of heart-felt beliefs,
to be sure, as the GOP struggles in what is expected to be a rocky
election year.
In Pennsylvania, Obama's campaign was working hard to get supporters
to switch their registration from independent or Republican to
Democratic. He even ran a radio ad reminding those voters that Monday
was the last day they could register as Democrats to vote in the April
22 primary. Meanwhile, Limbaugh also has said he has "operatives"
registering Republicans as Democrats to vote for Clinton.
Between March 10 and 17, the most recent timeframe available, more
than 14,000 new Democrats registered to vote in Pennsylvania and
29,000 voters switched their registration to the Democratic party, the
Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
Before Pennsylvania goes to the polls, the Cleveland, Ohio-area
elections board will release the results of its investigation. Some
ballots containt possible evidence of voter fraud, which in Ohio is
punishable by up to a year in jail and a $2,500 fine.
"I'm looking for evidence," Sandy McNair, a Democratic member of the
county's elections board tells the Plain Dealer. "I'm not interested
in a witch hunt. But I am interested in holding people accountable,
whether they're Democrat or Republican."

It's an OHIO law that they're investigating dumbass, not federal.
Your paranoid hatred of Bush is showing.
Go right ahead and try to ignore the First Amendment and attack
Rush. And go right ahead and try to prosecute Ohio voters for
voting as they see fit.
You're only driving people away from the Dem party and increasing
Rush's audience.
The desperate loons are claiming that it's illegal to change your
registration.... what a hoot

Oh, I don't know about this one. A radio host tells his minions to go
out and break the law, some of them go out and break the law, and it's
the radio host's fault?
Far be it from me to defend Limbaugh, but for Chrissakes, this is
insane. I just don't see how he's responsibility for the stupidity of
the idiots who listen to him and do what he says. Isn't this much like
those mothers who tried to sue Ozzy Osbourne because he supposedly
told their kids to commit suicide? Whatever happened to individual
free will. The schmucks who chose to break the law in Ohio should be
prosecuted, not Limbaugh.
I'd much rather see him thrown in jail for doctor shopping, or other
things he IS responsible for.
Changing it for purposes of election fraud may well be illegal.
Especially since some of those right wingers were stupid enough to
write in that that was their intent on the forms.

Republicans are sick and tired of Democrat "mean" tactics, and are
fighting back in kind.
And now you want to arrest Rush Limbaugh for thought crime
violations? You want to arrest citizens for casting votes for the

I must admit, it would be tons o' fun to see Democrats defending the
concepts of thought crimes and loyalty oaths (not loyalty oaths to
America - oh goddess, no - that would be as insane as wearing an
American flag on one's lapel or walking out on a Minister while he
screams "God DAMN America" - but loyalty to the Democrat Party.) Oh,
here's another turd in the punchbowl in regards to your dream of
shutting down free speech - in almost every case, nobody bothered to
ask for the Loyalty Oath To The Democrat Party be signed.
> I'd much rather see him thrown in jail for doctor shopping, or other

.
Please list ANYBODY who's EVER been arrested in Florida for a first
offense doctor shopping pain killers after an operation after
volunteering entering rehab. Here's a quick clue - it's never
happened. Rush's enemies have been looking for years, and have come
up empty handed. But then, what is the law for, if not to be twisted
around to arrest people who criticize Democrats?
.
One question, though; how can you have a conspiracy when the two
people supposedly involved have never had contact with each other.

Well, in this case, they're right. How far do we take this? If Thom
Hartmann tells his listeners to join a protest, and they end up
arrested, should we also go after Thom, because he told them to do
it?
Same way a hired gun for the mob who has never spoken to the head of
the family can stil be part of the same conspiracy. It is enough that
the mob boss makes his wishes known.
They really can't be that stupid. At least I hope not. I can't stand
Limbaugh, but he has the same freedom of speech as everyone else. How
chilling would it be to free speech if, every time you said something
controversial, you had to worry about some moron taking you too
literally and breaking the law, based on what you said?
If someone who voted actually broke a valid law, that person should be
prosecuted, if appropriate. But when some lamebrain hears Limbaugh say
something, and does exactly that, it's not Limbaugh's fault. Limbaugh
can't help that he attracts an audience of morons... well, it is, but
he can't be held responsible for their moronic activities.

Well, I'm actually kind of surprised to see Democrats going down this
road. This is a clear free speech issue. I can't stand Limbaugh, but I
also defend his right to free speech unequivocally. And blaming him
because someone did something stupid on his say-so is simply
ridiculous. If Randi Rhodes told her listeners to climb the White
House fence, and several of them did it, you can say she's stupid for
telling them that, and you might make a case for civil responsibility,
if Secret Sevice killed them while doing so. But would she be a
criminal? Of course not.

As usual, you missed my point. I was talking about his responsibility
for actions. Immediately, you go into defensive mode...
But I will say this... doctor shopping is the rich person's equivalent
of forging prescriptions, or breaking into a pharmacy and stealing
meds. it just goes to show that there is a chasm between justice for
the rich and justice for the poor...
And you were so willing to forgive Michael Moore in 2004.
Well...it is the silly season.

Fact is that there was no law broken.. and even if there was a valid
law that was Constitutional and applied to a person pledging
allegiance to a political party, and if that pledge was actually
administered to the individual, the fact that it's completely legal
to change your party registration nullifies any claim that one cannot
change their mind at any time.... You'd have to prove what he was
thinking at the time he made the pledge....
Please, please, let some big Democrat try to push this thing....

Ah, playing the class hatred card, huh? So, tell me, just why
wouldn't middle class or poor people doctor shop?
Ohio is an open primary state, thus a person cannot vote "when he

Once again, Old Zepp finds himself on the wrong side of the issue. It
is not that "right wingers" are above the law, it is that they also
have the right to FREE SPEECH.

case.

Last month, Jacob Sullum wrote an article for Reason magazine's website
about Richard Paey, a 45-year-old father of three in constant, chronic
pain from a car accident, back surgery, and multiple sclerosis. Unable
to find a doctor after moving to Florida, Paey covertly obtained the
painkillers he needed for relief. Because the painkillers contained
oxycodone (the drug war's latest fashionable target), and because Paey
obtained more than 28 grams of the drug (about 60 pills), he was
arrested last March for drug trafficking. Paey was tried and convicted.
Though both prosecutors and jury conceded that Paey wasn't a dealer,
their hands were tied by uncompromising drug-war policy

I find this phenomenon fascinating...
You're the second wingnut in this thread who seems to miss the fact
that I agree with you, that Rush Limbaugh should not be prosecuted for
anything.
Instead, your knees jerk so far into your chins that it rattles your
brain, and you see things that aren't there.
The "crime" is necessarily hypothetical at this point, isn't it, given
that no one has even been charged with anything at this point.
So put the knee back and re-read what I actually said, and not what
you decided to read that wasn't there...
Do a google search on Richard Paey. Nation Review has a story about him

This from vallely who claims that Limbaugh is convincing many
Republicans to cross over and that Democrats did the same thing. When
asked for proof he posted numerous links. One reported that McCain was
trying to get votes from independents and Democrats. Another was a blog
saying a Democrat had urged people to vote for McCain, one was a story
saying he would not do as well in Michigan as he had done in 2000 and
one was a video showing McCain claiming victory. The one thing that had
in common was that none of them backed up his claims.
Here's a couple of major differences between Richard Paey's case and
Rush's:
Mr. Paey was caught committing crimes. Rush was not.
Mr. Paey stole perscription forms from his doctor, and filled them in
himself. Rush was never accused of that.
Mr. Paey's doctor was in New Jersey, and Mr. Paey used the stolen
prescriptions forms to fill drugs in Florida, which means he crossed
state lines to commit a crime. Rush, as I mentioned before, was never
caught committing a crime.
Mr. Paey was offered a deal - he decided to take his chances with the
jury. Rush was not.
Mr. Paey was convicted unanimously by a jury. Despite two years of
investigation, and millions of dollars squandered, not enough evidence
was found to bring Rush's case to court.
Rush admitted what he did, and voluntarily got help. His treatment
has been 100% successful. There is no mention in the article of Mr.
Paey seeking drug therapy, but considering how onesided in favor of
Mr. Paey the article in "Reason" was, I can only assume that no
serious attempt at controlling his addiction was attempted.
.
National Review and Reason are now part of the drive by media?

Any other softballs that you'd like me to knock out of the park?
Where did I use those words?
Please show us where any of the links you posted made any mention of
your claims.

Ah, Miltie plonks another another person who disagrees with him. This
is Miltie's SOP when someone challenges what he says. Of course,
Miltie doesn't really have any plonking capacity and has been known to
reply to people he's claimed to plonk.
Don't confuse Georgie with facts. He's not very good with them.
That would involve trespassing, wouldn't it? Of course Zippy is too
stupid for words.
There's Milt claiming he can killfile again... even though google
groups has no killfile cardinality...
Milt makes up stories... He's kind of like Hillary in that respect.
Milt Shook is too stupid to find out what a Congressional page
does before claiming to have been one....

"Of course, between commuting an hour each way to and from the Capitol
every day, and trying to keep up with my studies in high school, and
play JV football (I was "too skinny" for varsity, according to my
moronic coach), and a few other extra curricular activities, I
wouldn't have had much time for that, anyway. Especially after I blew
out my knee in the fourth game of the season... damn... "

mornings and evenings at the Capital so they can attend sessions of Congress.

Apples to oranges. Breaking and entering is a crime in my state, but
crossover voting is not.

Doesn't freedom of speech override that?

If you believe that it does, then try it for yourself.
Really? I mentioned Limbaugh? Do cite.

Great self-description. I didn't mention Limbaugh, I addressed your
point about the crime involves one person who votes when he
shouldn't.
> The "crime" is necessarily hypothetical at this point, isn't it, given
> that no one has even been charged with anything at this point.
And no one will. The state of Ohio is not stupid enough to get into
the business of voter intimidation and violating the US Constution.
> So put the knee back and re-read what I actually said, and not what
> you decided to read that wasn't there...
"This crime involves one person. Basically, a person showed up at the
polling place, that person voted when he shouldn't have,"
This is what I responded to. Did you notice that you were speaking of
an Ohio voter, not Limbaugh??
Ohio is an open primary state, i.e. your premise of a "person voted
when he shouldn't have" is false.
