This makes sence. I could stand to listen to Rush if I took a handfull of painkillers!

So Rush Limbaugh has been caught buying Illegal drugs? In 1995, he ranted that all illegal drug buyers should go to jail. I always knew, with all my brain tied behind my back, that he was a hypocrite and a racist. I understand that he has been fired several times before for putting his foot in his mouth, but he always got away. Will he be able to bamboozle the public this time again? To all those ditto heads, your "Con" idol will soon be a real con. If his talent came from God, where did his stupidity come from?

I hope they send him to state pound-in-the-ass prison where he'll get sodomized by the african americans he despises so much. The fat pig.

You all need to calm down until the facts come out about the drug addiction. I have sympathy for anyone who is addicted and I can hardly believe that Rush was downing 100's of pills a day and staying on top of his show/ ESPN as well as a bright businessman. Behind you all the way Rush. ESPN Sunday colleagues didn't seem offended until someone told them to be offended 48 hours later. Irving even agreed with Rush - an he's black - so what is up with that?

Hearing loss is a side effect of synthetic opiate abuse. Anybody remember Rush's mysterious deafness? Those poor dittoheads were praying for the return of hearing and all along he was doing it to himself.

Gene. You're proof that crack doesn't smoke itself.

I always try to reserve judgement until more facts are released. That I may disagree with many things that Rush Limbaugh says means nothing, I will still refuse to pass judgement until there is more information available. What it comes down to is IF Mr. Limbaugh bought illegal drugs then he is no better than those that he rants against. It doesn't matter if drugs are normally prescription drugs or if he became addicted under legitimate medical care.

Same thing with Arnold Schwartzeneggar. IF he is guilty of doing anything illegal then he should be held accountable. I must say that the timing of these allegations is highly suspect in that they were released too late for any type of real candidate response. I also am not likely to take allegations seriously that are made anonymously or come from 20 to 30 years ago.

All I have to say is, if it's true then FOR SHAME! I'll give anyone who has a drug addiction compassion and sympathy but Rush's credibility is undeniably dubious if its true. I do not think Rush is a racist however, nor is he a fat pig, nor do I hope he gets sent to the pokey and sodomized. I hope he comes clean, recovers and apologizes and rebuilds his credibility and maybe loses some of his arrogance. Humility goes a long way. We all should try some now and then!

Look at the source of the information. One person has accused him, and of course,the worthless rag had to pick that up and of course, the authorities have to investigate. Celebrities are always targets and Rush is no exception. I would suspect that nothing will be found becuase there is nothing to be found. Right now, there is no more real evidence than one disgruntled employee. I will wait and reserve any judgement to the contrary when there is hard evidence.

I believe that Limbaugh has successfully pulled the wool over everyone's eyes. He has used the Donavon McNabb situation to cover his REAL reason for leaving ESPN. The Oxycontin addiction.
ESPN cannot have a person under investigation for MAJOR DRUG use in an industry with drug testing and constant examples of players being suspended for drug use. Limbaugh would stand as a constant exemplar for the double standard.

Look at the time line.
ON TUESDAY: Late in the afternoon ESPN issued a statement in support of Limbaugh. Late that night, approximately 10:30 PM at 11:00 PM Limbaugh issued a statement of resignation. At midnight ESPN accepted the resignation.
ON WEDNESDAY: AM the National Enquirer was on the street. Are we to believe that late Tuesday, the National Enquirer didn't call ESPN for comment or give some heads up on their story?

Limbaugh has made McNabb the reason for his discharge..... Its the DRUGS...STUPID

Rush spewed lies and promoted hatred for so many years. I could not believe anyone would put much faith in what he ever had to say because he was never willing to have someone qualified debate his distorted facts on the air.

Ya gotta love it!!! All these hatemongers out there musta' been left with their mouths hanging open during Friday's broadcast. Maybe it's God's way of telling him to shut up.

When you go to the doctor and have surgury, they always tell you what risk you have for it not working out, or even dying. But they don't tell you that you could become an addict from the pain killers after the surgury. We really need to help people faster, so that they don't spend this many years fighting the problem themselves.

God certainly has a sense of humor....
This definitely gives some credence to the saying "What goes around, comes around!"

I love it! Rush a dope fiend and then a Republican Pot smoking, sexual harrassing Nazi sympathizer for Governor in California! (Do you think that Ah-nuld can even state what the 3 branches of government are in this country?)

Brings to mind this old song..."Everybody plays the fool...there is no exception to the rule...it may be sad, it may be cruel...but everybody plays the fool...."

Conservatives..now it is your turn...:)

Well, he admitted it. That took some guts, considering how moralistic his fans are. I used to be a fan of Rush's up until about five years ago when I realized that he cared more about the fortunes of the G.O.P. than the U.S.A.
Speaking of the drug charges,(and I'm one who thinks drugs should be legal, along with prostitution and nudity,) Mr. EIB should do some hard time, just like the poor black kid who has to go to jail for carrying a joint!
But you know he won't spend one night in prison.

This is his 3rd rehab attempt. It's ironic that a newspaper that is known to spread lies is the source that helped expose his addiction.
I feel so betrayed. What a liar.
Would Limbaugh be forgiving if this happened to someone else without his right-wing leanings? Doubt it.
Just last week Rush implied he wasn't guilty...How do Clinton's shoes feel now Rush?

It's a radio show, people.
He's selling a product that people are buying, evidenced by the amount companies are willing to pay for advertising.
Get it?
Same as MTV, WWE, CSI, NFL Football.
As soon as the money stops flowing, his shtick is over. No more, no less.
Agree or disagree, it's just a radio show.
Don't take it so seriously.

Surprise, surprise… Rush Limbaugh on drugs… Anyone could have seen this coming from a mile away. It couldn’t have happened to a nicer person. His malice and discriminatory views coupled with his own hypocritical finger pointing is the exact reaction I’d expect from a failed political wannabe. Pop a few more pills Rush and fantasize that you haven’t ruined your reputation and your popularity

I am deeply saddened and frustrated by this debate. Whether you are conservative, liberal, or in-the-middle... whether Rush entertains you, bores you, infuriates you or enlightens you... the man's apparently addicted to narcotics, and he deserves treatment.

And if he is charged with crimes, he deserves a fair trial.

If he asks for it, he deserves forgiveness, just as we would all expect if we were in his shoes.

All that I see here is hate spewed back and forth.

Talk about hypocritical...

OK, now, let's be fair. Rush is a former fat pig, and a suspected racist, but is undeniably a hypocrite and a liar. What he said on ESPN wasn't racist per se, but that doesn't demonstrate that he isn't a racist---and his show has demonstrated time and again that he is.

As for Arnold, I think the obvious question is, does he have any qualifications whatsoever to govern, and the answer is clearly "no."

Now, Rush is hiding in rehab on the advice of his lawyer (hey, talk about suspicious timing!) and Arnold is governor of California. It is the beginning of the end for El Rushbo and Schwarzenegger both.

Get out and vote for Whomever is Running Against Bush in '04.

I think they should simply take a look at his own comments regarding drug use and punish him according to his own words.

Rush likes getting HIGH on pills! He blew it on 2 previous detoxes. Now he is going for a third. There should be a 3 strike law on detoxing. He bought what was reported as nearly 30,000 pills for his own consumption. No wonder he lost so much weight. A side effect of the drugs, nausea and loss of appetite too. His not talking about the "investigation" was on advice of his defense attorney. These charges are the same a crack or morphine( Oxycointin is synthetic morphine except 5 times as powerful). Taking controlled substances without a doctors prescription is against FEDERAL LAW besides state law. An ordinary person with these charges raised against him would be trying still to raise the money for a lawyer and bail money. This whole sorted story is going to make it harder for people who have diseases that REQUIRE these drugs from getting them. I have to take these drugs on a schedule and see a special addiction counselor monthly. Because of abuse of Oxycontin by some stupid people, I cannot get this medication any more. I have had to switch to another medication and just getting the new meds took 2 weeks! Imagine spinal degeneration pain without the proper pain meds. Oxycontin is a schedule 2 drug, the most tightly regulated pharmacutical in the country. Doctors have to count out on the pill prescription form out to the exact day till the next visit, maximum amount is a 30 day supply. New prescription is required by federal law. People in REAL pain over an extended period, years, have changes in their brain chemisrty. We don't get HIGH, we get relief most times. Look at the VA study of over 20,000 soldiers in pain for long duration. They were prescribed pain meds and didn't get the "high" or psychological addiction. Side effects of narcotics are too severe to really WANT them on
regular basic. Some are: Severe continuous constipation, take laxatives & emenas every day just to go. Unable to get any stinulation sexually, depresses centers controlling respiration etc. See www.webmd.com for the rest of effects of oxycontin. Used properly it is a wonder drug. But nearly anything can be used to get you HIGH, paint thinner, airplane glue, naptha(cleaning fluid) and the list goes on and on.

Rush admit it once in your life you ARE WRONG. You are an addict and failed rehab/detox TWICE already. No more chances. detox behind bars like those addicts you spoke about in your previous shows. Pratice what you preach, you old wind bag!

It is people like Rush who are the problem. We, people who have chronic pain, are being treated as criminals because of a few druggies! I am glad the truth is out. I can forsee the future of Rush: He will try to out-law oxycontin because he (was once) a drug addict. It is his fault, not the people that really need this drug.

Seems to me the "ditto heads" will back Rush no matter what, even when he fails to live up the standards he says is right & wrong and has showed no leniency or compassion to those he has fingered as wrong such as Clinton.
To the "ditto heads" Limbaugh is not an opinion to listen to, he is their cult leader. Anyone questioning the prophet is a "liberal" Clinton Kool Aid drinker. How asinine.
If someone is right or wrong its based on principle. "Dittoheads" seem to attack/dislike only those who disagree with Big Brother Limbaugh and if someone is similar mindsight they get the free pass.
That's not to say conservative principles are wrong. Just that these "dittoheads" don't know the truism that "Justice Is Blind".

It amazes me how much of an emotional reaction the very existence of Rush Limbaugh elicits in some people. He's not the president. He's not a governor. He's not a politician in any way, shape, or form. So, he's not a representative anyone has voted for or whose taxes pay for. He's a talk show host, and he's a human being with as many or more faults than the rest of us. Even he admitted as much when he informed his listeners on Friday Oct. 10th he is not a role model.

Whether or not you agree with him needs to end there. For mature people it does. And it might help if you actually listen to the man before you make accusations against him that are completely untrue. If you haven't listened to him or refuse to listen to him, you only make fools of yourselves by making such accusations. I suspect you are only parroting what you've heard from others who are equally uninformed.

Why the venomous hatred? Where is your tolerance? Everyone in this country has a right to free speech. Indeed we are all free to speak our minds as viciously and hatefully as we desire (unless, of course, we cross the arbitrary lines of political correctness), but when we hate so deeply we speak volumes more about ourselves than those we attack.

That"half my brain tied behind my back" . . it should have been where it belonged, then maybe he wouldn't have been so STUPID . .'PAIN KILLERS'... c'mon. . . he just liked the high and got hooked like any 'normal' sucka! May he suffer the same punishment as any 'normal' person.

hey chaney - you educated, compassionate, fair liberal who's smarter than all those stupid conservatives - what does inoniclast mean? is that a word? did you mean iconoclast? did you mean iconic? tell me for i am only a poor wretched and stupid conservative who needs help from one as smart and compassionate as you - i really think this debate is hilarous - this guy spends three hours a day on the radio spouting off HIS opinion. if people didn't listen he'd go away tomorrow. if you don't like him, turn him off (not that most of you have actually listen to him anyway) or start your own show and get 600 stations to carry it so you can tell everyone how wrong he is and how right you are. that should be easy enough for all you geniuses.....geeez, what a bunch of losers..............it must make you feel really smart to call someone a pig and hope he gets sodomized

On humanitarian grounds, I wish Rush a speedy recovery from this illness, but"

Live By The Sword, Die By The Sword

“[He’s] another dead drug addict.”
- Rush Limbaugh on Jerry Garcia, 8/11/95
Compassion

“There’s nothing good about drug use. We know it. It destroys individuals. It destroys families. Drug use destroys societies. Drug use, some might say, is destroying this country."
Patriotism

"And so if people are violating the law by doing drugs, they ought to be accused and they ought to be convicted and they ought to be sent up."
Law

"I don’t buy into the disease part of it."
I won't either

Need he say more...

"What this says to me is that too many whites are getting away with drug use. Too many whites are getting away with drug sales. Too many whites are getting away with trafficking in this stuff. The answer to this disparity is not to start letting people out of jail because we’re not putting others in jail who are breaking the law. The answer is to go out and find the ones who are getting away with it, convict them and send them up the river, too.”
- Rush Limbaugh show, Oct. 5, 1995

For once I couldn't agree more with Mr. Limbaugh!

It's sad that Rush is hooked on dope. What's not sad is that this dope addict never had any sympathies at all for other dope addicts. Remember his "I don't buy the disease part of it," comment? Remember all his shrill calls for all illegal drug users to be tossed into jail? Now Rush comes on the radio and says, "You know, I've always tried to be honest with you ... " Yeah, right, Rush. Honest people fess up BEFORE the heat is on. Everyone else is just a liar by deception. In a perfect, pinko, liberal, left-leaning world that Rush Limbaugh despises so much, maybe a liberal judge will take pity on him and cut him some slack. Then he'll be a hostage to the liberal ideal for the rest of his life. How sweet!

Let's be serious, Rush won't need a liberal judge. He's rich, and the sad truth is the rich don't face the same justice (or injustice as the case may be) that the rest of us do. He will likely never see the inside of a jail cell, little lone do hard time with Bubba, as some of the previous postings have suggested.
However, we can hope it will cost him some money, prestige and a loss of credibility with his sycophantic listeners.

If Rush was a black guy on the street, he would be getting 10 years in prison. But I'm going to do something that Rush has never done - show compassion for drug addicts.

Yeah, well good luck to Rush on his drug rehab.
Now if we could just get him to go through rehab for being an asshole, that would be treatment worth paying for!

Rich white guys (Rush, Kenneth Lay and Bernie Ebbers) never go to jail anymore.

Just face it, Rush is done. He is a liar, racist, and a big time drug addict. The world would be a better place without his lies and hypocritcy. We all knew he was a fake and lets all say this together,, "WHERES THE CABBAGE""... Clinton is the one laughing now..

HEY PINKOLIBERAL, GREAT JOB, HAHAHAA, YOU ARE RIGHT, IF HE GETS A CONSERVATIVE JUDGE HE MIGHT BE AFRAID TO PICK UP THE SOAP AT HIS NEW PAD. HAHAHAHAHA OH RUSH THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE LIES, THANK YOU SO MUCH. I ALWAYS KNEW RUSH COULDNT LIVE UP TO THE STANDAND HE BEHOLDS OTHERS TOO. PLEASE OH PLEASE MAY HE GET LUCKY AND GET A LIBERAL JUDGE. HAHAHA HE JUST MIGHT GET A JUDGE LIKE HIMSELF AND OH BOY HE WILL BE SORE IN MORE WAYS THAN ONE IF THAT IS THE CASE....

Rush is arrogant but very entertaining. Eventhough, Rush would call me a left wing nut, I pity him for the situation he has put himself in. Don't despair dittoheads, there are enough of you willing to throw away your morals, character matters stance, and hatred of drug users/dealers, to allow Mr. Limbaugh the opportunity to come back and continue his three hours of hate, self-boasting and hypocrisy.

This link would be worth reading:

http://www.washingtondispatch.com/article_6907.shtml

So let me get this right...turn the other cheek for someone who was preaching otherwise. What Limbaugh said in 1985 isn't valid now???
hypocrite

n : a person who professes beliefs and opinions that they do not hold

He began abusing presciption drug over the last 5 - 6 years and makes no further comments on abusers...oh what a suprise???

Using illegal street drugs is different than aquiring prescription drugs illegally???

I don't know about any name calling he may have done. I find racial epiteths to be quite superficial. But here is a taste of Limbaugh in the dept. of prejudice...

In 1992, on his now-defunct TV show, Limbaugh expressed his ire when Spike
Lee urged that black schoolchildren get off from school to see his film
Malcolm X: "Spike, if you're going to do that, let's complete the
education experience. You should tell them that they should loot the
theater, and then blow it up on their way out."

In a similar vein, here is Limbaugh's mocking take on the NAACP, a group
with a ninety-year commitment to nonviolence: "The NAACP should have riot
rehearsal. They should get a liquor store and practice robberies."

When Carol Moseley-Braun (D-IL) was in the U.S. Senate, the first black
woman ever elected to that body, Limbaugh would play the "Movin' On Up"
theme song from TV's "Jeffersons" when he mentioned her. Limbaugh
sometimes still uses mock dialect -- substituting "ax" for "ask"-- when
discussing black leaders.

Such quotes and antics -- many compiled by Fairness & Accuracy In
Reporting (FAIR) for our 1995 book -- offer a whiff of Limbaugh's racial
sensibility. So does his claim that racism in America "is fueled primarily
by the rantings and ravings" of people like Jesse Jackson. Or his ugly
reference two years ago to the father of Madonna's first child, a Latino,
as "a gang-member type guy" -- an individual with no gang background.

In 1994, Limbaugh mocked St. Louis for building a rail line to East St.
Louis "where nobody goes." East St. Louis is home to roughly 40,000
residents -- 98 percent of whom are African-Americans. One of its 40,000
"nobodies" is star NFL linebacker Bryan Cox.

Once, in response to a caller arguing that black people need to be heard,
Limbaugh responded: "They are 12 percent of the population. Who the hell
cares?" That's not an unusual response for a talk radio host playing to an
audience of "angry white males."

Racism and prejudice is not good coming from anyone, but one question...
racism

n 1: the prejudice that members of one race are intrinsically superior to members of other races 2: discriminatory or abusive behavior towards members of another race

When did racism begin on this continent??? Did the indians think that they were better than the Europeans who found them here??? Did the Africans who were taken from their continent and brought here as slaves (not immigrants) think they were better??? Listening to Limbaugh's views I wouldn't choose him as the poster child for that clear of an observation. With him and others there is no such thing as history and it's affects on a people... So you don't have to name call to be racist...

Would Limbaugh express the same views as in the link you posted???
http://www.washingtondispatch.com/article_6907.shtml

Another link worth reading...
http://www.nathanielturner.com/whyweowethem.htm

I don't want to get into a point by point debate. My purpose in writing here was to provide some balance, another perspective. I hope people will consider it.

I think the entirity of what Rush has to say about race should be considered, and not just a few comments taken out of context, by people who have made up their minds before they ever considered it.

If hypocrisy is defined by a statement you made some eight or ten years ago that you may no longer hold, then there is no one who isn't a hypocrite. I am quite certain that we've all changed our minds about things, and that doesn't make us hypocritical. It instead may be an indication of growth. Those making the charge of hypocrisy on Rush's part need to be sure that the same could not be said of themselves, and I don't for a minute believe that to be true.

I must remind you that there are allegations about Rush's drug use that are unproven. Your assumption is that everything that you have heard related to that housekeeper is true. I find that rather naive. Isn't it possible that this is a disgruntled employee, aware of Rush's addiction, who, in a desperate attempt to take the focus off of her own wrongdoings, chose to implicate Rush? A red flag for me was her estimates of how many pills she supplied him with in a short period of time. If all of that were true, he'd be dead, not feeding an addiction.

The American way is to presume innocence until guilt is proven. It is very possible that Rush got a crooked doctor to help fund his addiction, as numerous celebrities in the past have done. That I could believe. It doesn't make it right, but it is understandable. (My compassion on Rush here is not an endorsement of his actions, as was true of the person in the article I linked above.)

If you actually don't see the difference between a mistaken addiction to drugs initially taken for their prescribed purpose and deliberately setting out to break the law for a high, then my message is not for you. It is for the thinking individual who possesses some empathy, imagining himself in the other person's shoes. There is no need for me to explain an obvious point like that, simply because some judgmental hypocrite refuses to concede the truth of it.

I do have some compassion for both types of drug users, many of whom are stuck in a vicious, destructive cycle. (I have known personally some involved in that cycle with illegal drugs as well.) But my compassion is admittedly stronger for those trapped by an addiction that began legally.

I must also note the point of the article to which I offered a link. Hypocrisy works both ways. If you want drug users in general to be treated for a medical problem, not thrown in the slammer, but make an exception in the case of Rush Limbaugh, you are a hypocrite.

And, as a matter of fact, as a regular listener to Rush's program, I do believe that he would share many of the views presented in that article. Not surprisingly, I originally found the article through a link from http://www.rushlimbaugh.com. Never the less, there have been occasions when I felt that some compassion for a wrongdoer was appropriate, and Rush had none to give. In those cases, which are not frequent, I do hope this situation has brought an opportunity for growth on his part.

Those who listen know that hate filled criticism is not how Rush spends his broadcast time. He offers lighthearted mockery instead, the kind of thing that brings a smile to the listener's face, not an ulcer to his stomach. (For example, his reference to Gore as "Vice Perpetrator In Chief." That is amusing, not vindictive.)

Once again, I must explain that my purpose in posting here was not to get involved in a point by point debate. As a homeschooling mother of two, I have better uses of my time. If you wish to attempt to refute me point by point, feel free to do so. I will not be returning to read or respond to your arguments. (That doesn't mean that I couldn't, but that I choose not to.) I simply hope that my purpose here has been realized, and a few people were prompted to consider the other side.

I don't quite see your point on "entirity" but I think the views seen individually or on a whole render the same picture...

Oh, he stated he no longer held the views he had earlier...I stand corrected...
"Those making the charge of hypocrisy on Rush's part need to be sure that the same could not be said of themselves, and I don't for a minute believe that to be true." and neither should Limbaugh...
I think the word "naive" is subjective depending on the view you have of situation. You can choose to believe all or a few of the things you read or hear. What he has said is that he is an addict...like many before and after him...
The maid is wrong, the doctor is wrong. There is no problem with compassion, if you choose to render it to someone who hasn't shown much...
I wouldn't go about justifying the "addiction" either way, a cracked out crackhead who should know better vs a seemingly intelligent person who should know better...Again where was the Limbaugh "empathy" on the addiction subject shown??? I won't even lower myself to name calling...
"I do have some compassion for both types of drug users, many of whom are stuck in a vicious, destructive cycle. (I have known personally some involved in that cycle with illegal drugs as well.) But my compassion is admittedly stronger for those trapped by an addiction that began legally." So you pick and choose your empathy..nice...
I think the point of the forum is for anyone to read and represent their views as they see them but thanks for inviting me to refute your statements. The competency of yourself or anyone else to respond to my "arguements" is never in question.

Kris you don't understand the objective nature of compassion, nor do you really believe the words you write. If you believe addiction is a vice that traps people, then you must also understand you can be trapped in it without setting out to be doing something illegal or legal. Legal behavior is not moral behavior. I would send the little tykes to school, you are not going to be able equip them properly for the world they are set to inherit.

Courtney Love charged with having illegal prescrition drugs (oxycotnin being one of them)...
Let's see if Limbaugh will get the same...

I love how Kris specifically ASKED for examples of Rush's racial comments, then when they were provided, changed her tune to "providing balance".

I love goping back and reading what right wingers have to say to defend their brand of insanity... reading some of their posts here demonstrates that many of them couldn't think their way out of a paper bag. Now we know, for sure, that rush is a hypocrite. You should have heard him try to spin that one around on his air pollution. I could have had some respect for him had he come out of rehab and said "I have been a hypocrite and talking out of my ass, and I am sorry." But the boy's too full of arrogance and false pride. He's been to rehab twice before, he'll be there again.

"What this says to me is that too many whites are getting away with drug use. Too many whites are getting away with drug sales. Too many whites are getting away with trafficking in this stuff. The answer to this disparity is not to start letting people out of jail because we’re not putting others in jail who are breaking the law. The answer is to go out and find the ones who are getting away with it, convict them and send them up the river, too.”
- Rush Limbaugh show, Oct. 5, 1995

"His actions violate the letter and spirit" of Florida law, criminal investigators said.

Limbaugh allegedly received doctors' prescriptions for more than 2,000 pills -- including the prescription painkillers oxycontin, lorcet and hydrocodone -- according to the search warrants.

The term "doctor shopping" commonly means a patient -- who may or may not have a legitimate physical ailment -- goes from doctor to doctor with the objective of improperly obtaining multiple prescriptions for prescription painkillers.

The court papers indicate those drugs were sometimes obtained in the same week, less than a month apart.

"Unfortunately, because of Mr. Limbaugh's prominence and well-known political opinions, he is being subjected to an invasion of privacy no citizen of this republic should endure," he said.

I guess this means that Limbaugh shouldn't be investigated like any other addict breaking the law would...

Let's face it, folks, the ruling class runs the show in this country. Liberal media, yeah, another BIG LIE. "They" (guys like Rush) pretty much run the show....and boy are we going to get stuck with one hell of a bill. If Americans were less gullible, these characters would ALL be in jail. Not just Rush

Rush is small fry, the real criminals are Cheney, Newt, and that disgusting nest of scumbags, liars and theives who are destroying not only America but the ENTIRE WORLD so they can OWN THINGS at our expense. These are dangerous, power hungry monsters.....I would trade a thousand Rushes for a nice, cozy heavy-security prison cell for these vermin....

I liked Rush at the beginning. Then I noticed over time every single thing Clinton ever did or said was wrong. - Of course every thing Rush said was right. You have to be able to see such a fraudulant ideology, whether right or left. Anyone who says this has almost no credibility. If he said many things Clinton did were wrong, but not all, he would have much more credibility. Blind hatred, Bill O'Reilly said is wrong on both sides. I bet if we studied Charles Manson's life we would uncover some things he did good. I heard Rush used to rip into drug addicts to do hard time.
Now suddenly they need treatment and understanding, something he would have called a bed wetting liberal pinko communist before it pertained to his fat ass.
What a sorry hipocritical piece of crap he is. I have sympathy, but not much, and it is still much more than he would have had for others if he hadn't gotten caught by the way

Proof is in the pudding. El Rushbo is a junko. His supporters will continue to make excuses for him, ex. it's prescription drugs, its not abuse.etc.. The fact is that Oxycontin is an opiate derivative, just like Heroin, and he abused it "illegally" Oxycontin mayby legal, but obtaining illegal amounts illegally to abuse them is illegal. He is just another junkie, except he is white and has money, which to his supporters is all the matters.

This fat disgusting low life big mouthed dope fiend,should be put in jail! right where he said people like him belong!I cant stand this waste of human flesh and i hope he gets pounded in his fat ass when he does the perp walk for dealing in illegal drugs!Nobody deserves jail more than this fat hippocritic pig!!!

Nobody seems to be mentioning anything about Rush's sudden hearing loss and his supposed autoimmune ear disease. I see a real connection to sudden hearing loss and the over-abuse of hydrocodone/oxycontin. I've seen this first hand.

Hmmm... Did anthing end up happening to Rush? Nope. Has he changed the tone or tint of his rhetoric? Nope. Is he still abhorrent to anyone who can walk and chew gum at the same time? Yup.

He deserves to be in jail...he is the biggest hypocrite around! How I hate him!

Yes, the ditto heads can seemingly overlook a bit
of casual drug addiction. However, blow job is a real mortal sin, as a matter of fact ANYTHING done by Clinton is a mortal sin.

Did you know that he is responsible for 911 and the resulting war in Iraq? Yep, the Rushmeister has to keep high to live with his conscience.

As the lead propagandist pimp for this pack of war criminals he must have some real baggage to deal with!

I will give this bastard his due however, he can spin anything and any subject he is handed by Carl and the snake.
