Limbaugh Arrested on Drug Charges

[GFR]

Weren't you using steroids?

Yes, but I do not use narcodics, Doctor shop so I can get 4-5 scripts, have my maid break the law for me, talk about how we need to get tougher on drug crimes on my radio show......then expect to get special treatment when I become a junkie and a criminal.

I have no problem with any person using drugs as long as the do not hurt others, Rush is anti drugs yet is a drug criminal....do the math son.




???Too many whites are getting away with drug use. The answer is to ... find the ones who are getting away with it, convict them, and send them up the river.???

Most people can get drugs and most people chose not to use them....Rush is just a typical drug addict.

Ask your Dad to explain that to you. Funny that you think getting a BJ is a crime but using narcotics illegally is ok.

 

[Pepper]

That is not even close to what he said.

that's my only problem with you.. you never listen to what I say, I always have to explain myself. I never defended anything Limbaugh did.. just pointed out that your criticism is hypocritical.

 

[DOMS]

That's Foreskin's idea of debating.

You said nothing....all you did was cut and paste two quotes from me and then post a pic to show your lack of understanding. I think you can do better than that.

 

[Decker]

Clinton resorted to the tortured definition of sex b/c he had to win the argument by the rules. You do not roll over to an attempted coup when you are the president of the united states. You prevail. And he did. Of course he lied about the affair. But the lie did not rise to the level of perjury.

What did he say Pepper???? All I see in his post is an emothon and some cut and pasting.....

then maybe you need the explanation from your father.

 

[DOMS]

He just accused you of what he does in every thread.

And again you post nothing....this is why I find it hard to believe and of you wingnuts even respect the law at all......seems you think it is only for the poor.

Case in point.

Please quote me where I defended Rush Limbaugh, or made any kind of a statement like that. All I did was question your legitimacy to attack him in the manner that you did. Nothing more, nothing less.

 

[Pepper]

What did he say Pepper???? All I see in his post is an emothon and some cut and pasting.....

He said, essentially:
1. You are being hypocritical when blasting Rush for his drug use when you yourself use illegal drugs.
2. He said, in another thread, that Clinton was not impeached for a blowjob but for perjury.

You summarized his statement to: "illegal drugs are OK and blowjobs are not."

He neither defended Rush's drug use or blasted Clinton's blow job.

Exactly, thank you.

What do you think of Rush's arrest?

I think it is fine for me to say people should be able to do the drugs of their choice...and also say that people who make the drug laws or preach about them should get hammered when they break them. Leaglise it and let Rush take all the pills he wants....untill then he has to pay the price when he gets busted, just like the rest of us do.

 

[busyLivin]

What do you think of Rush's arrest?

he should get what's coming to him.. whatever the law dictates. i don't think anyone is above the law.

1. He said nothing but I understand your interpretation of his cut and paste. Bottom line is I am for the legalization of all drugs!!! But untill then rich and poor have to share the same punishment for breaking the law....to call that hypocritical is absurd.

2. Other threads have nothing to do with this...

That's a good answer.

 

[Pepper]

That's a good answer.

True, but cases like this are very often treated lightly. I admit Rush got off easy but that seems to be the norm. I had a distance family member get addicted to pain killers and all they did was make her go to rehab.

I wonder what would have happened to Rush if he did not have the $30,000.00 to pay, as part of his plea deal, for the investigation? I'm not sure how FL law would handle that.

As for your family member, that's really rough having to go through that.

I don't even know this person. I'd tell you how distant but someone could psosible figure out who it is.

I had surgery twice this summer (very minor) and had a good bit of codine from multiple doctors. I still have a bunch b/c I was careful to take it only when necessary. I was afraid I'd get addicted.

Regarding #1, I also use illegal drugs, although in my defense I am extremely responsible in using them. I certainly don't abuse drugs, but I digress, that's neither here nor there. However, unlike Rush, I'm not a hypocrite with a 20 million listener radio show suggesting harsh punishment for those convicted of drug charges. The circumstances are a little different here; in Foreman's case as well.

You're rationalizing it. Just because he may speak out against it doesn't make your situation anymore legal or legitimate. Illegal drug use is illegal drug use.


Again, I don't defend it, but it's certainly understandable what happened to him. Anyone who denies that is just using the situation. (This is no excuse, and I'm not saying he didn't deserve punishment)

 

[Pepper]

You could argue that using drugs illegally to 1) control pain and 2) b/c you are addicted to it from controlling the pain is more reasonable that just chosing to use drugs illegally. I agree with busy, you are rationalizing.

I have 1-AD in my desk, so I am not casting stones. Just sayin'

He's not rationalizing. He's just pointing out that Limbaugh is a huge hypocrite. Long ago Rush made his choice between treating addiction as a medical problem subject to rehab or locking up the offender as a lawbreaker.

"Drug use, some might say, is destroying this country. And we have laws against selling drugs, pushing drugs, using drugs, importing drugs. ... 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."
-- Rush Limbaugh

Rush sided w/ the tough-on-crime stance but after he's caught w/ his hand in the heroin jar, he does a 180 and cries like a pussy and wants people to understand his back pain resulted in his 'addiction.' Not so ruggedly individual, is he....Or morally consistent.

I like to point out that we are all fallible and subject to fall every now and then. Rush has made a career bloviating about how tough he is because of his morally superior position--talent on loan from God. That is, until he fell. And people like him always do fall. And now it's time to pay the piper.

He is rationalizing his own drug use. The fact that Rush was a hypocrite is a not the issue: that's obvious.

Everybody makes mistakes... don't crucify people for theirs, epecially when you do it yourself.

I see your point. But I started this thread to point out Rush's hypocrisy. Cowpimp is commenting on Rush's hypocrisy and not whether his own drug use is legal or legitimate. In fact, Cowpimp points out that that is "neither here nor there."

And I saw Cowpimp write this: "However, unlike Rush, I'm not a hypocrite with a 20 million listener radio show suggesting harsh punishment for those convicted of drug charges." And he's right. He is not a hypocrite and Rush is.

Rank hypocrisy is the issue.

I believe that Rush was referring to drugs in the sense of non-prescription drugs like cocaine or heroine. Could you provide a reference where he was talking about pain killers?

This would open up the obvious come-back of "one cannot so casually segregate drugs. An illegal drug is an illegal drug." The funny thing is that so many people on this forum say this about narcotics (heroine, etc.) and steroids.

Even more amusing is that steroids are take for recreational purposes, whereas pain killers are taken for just that, the relief of pain.

As for myself, I have zero tolerance for pot, cocaine, heroine, etc. users; But I do have tolerance for people hooked on pain killers. Perhaps you and Cowpimp have never needed to rely on pain killers for a long period of time, but believe me, it makes life almost unbearable. People often kill themselves rather than experience the pain.

I'm not actively condoning Rush, but, like it so often happens, not everyone here is looking at the big picture. Myopia is seldom a good thing.
