is limbaugh screwing with ACA phone centers? WARNING LINK INSIDE TO LIMBAUGHS SITE

ok first let me apologize and let me also inform you I already turned myself in for what you are about to see.
I know this is disgusting but sometimes you have to clean up vomit and this unfortunately is that time,
I was driving to work I think Thursday,and scanning the radio dial looking for something to listen to .
it scanned past Limbaugh and I heard during the pause a discussion of something called "operation chaos" (anyone?) and the ACA phone centers.
it sounded sinister so I scanned back.
he was discussing with a caller the idea of having his listeners jam the phone banks to assure as much trouble as possible.
he weaseled out so as to allow himself deniability if it came back to bite his ass but the idea was bandied about and discussed fully as to how and who would do it.
here is a piece of it
RUSH: You mean as they are trying to repair it, our listeners will just deluge Obamacare with phone calls and log-in attempts and that kind of thing?
and here is what is going to get me a trip to pizzatown I fear
I wanted to find the audio so I went looking and I found it right on his own website with a transcript
here is a link to it and you can read it yourself if you must

i apologize for linking to this but sometimes we need to look when something ugly rises
now excuse me while i go wash my eyes my ears and await my fate.

He started these operation chaos with Clinton, when Bill was president. The vote in democratic primaries is part of it. Good news, his listeners are far from the height of 20 million. They are literally dying off
