Limbaugh Arrested on Drug Charges

[busyLivin]

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.

Well Said.

True Story, Rush is a model human being. If only everyone could strive to be like him, I have no doubt the world would be a better place.

I wish Rush had your thoughtful attention to detail. But he doesn't. Pain-killers/artificial heroin--all a matter of semantics to the abuser and dealer.

I am sure that Rush took some of the pills for backpain--although Rush did brag quite a bit about his ability to drive a golf ball several hundred yards--didn't he? That's not possible w/ acute back pain, but who wants to quibble. Another lie from El Rushbo to make his exposed drug addiction somewhat palatable to his audience. I'm also certain that Rush took the pills only to get super high for the sake of getting super high.

Rush is not stupid. He's playing the only card he has left and that's the sympathy card. His supporters want to believe him so badly that poor old Rush had to take the drugs to battle the pain--see what a man he still is.

But face it, if this assclown was in pain 24 hours a day and was taking 30+ pills/day, he shouldn't have been GOLFING.

True Story, DOMS is the only one who can judge what drug can be used for legit purposes. He thinks steroids are OK, yet heroin isn't, but both are illegal.

If the golfing bit it true, then fuck him. Then again, they just may be anecdotes.

I know very little about Rush. I don't watch his show (and I think he has a radio talk-show as well, which I don't listen to either). So, I'll simply take your word on it.

you're another one.. you never read what anyone says... only what you want to hear.

True Story: too difficult for you to stick to the topic.

The pain becomes the excuse for some.

My buddy had both knees smashed in an accident in the millitary. For a year or 2 after he continued taking percocets because "His knees hurt so bad". Despite this pain, his Dr. would not prescribe pain killers to him so he obtained them illegally. Anyway, he is off them know, and I asked him how/when the pain stopped. His response was that he took them because of the high he got.

I would love to say that this was the same case for Limbaugh, but that would be something Rush would do. Let's face it, if given the same set of circumstances 5-10 years ago for someone other than himself, Rush would have lambasted the accused. We all like to believe that, given the same set of circumstances, we would make the right choice. Not having experienced pain to the point that I needed to rely on drugs, I can't empathize or guess as to the cause of the problem. What I do know is that he is a hypocrite, but who isn't? This world would be a much better place if people would just stay the fuck out of everyone else's business.

I used to read his books and listen to his show but not lately.

I would never ask you to accept on faith what I can show in print:

http://www.badgolfer.com/departments/features/rush-limbaugh-radio-king-golf-2124.htm

That's an interview w/ Limbaugh himself. Does he sound like a man with crippling back pain?

Here're some highlights:

Q: What are the strengths of your golf game?

"...I'm not all that good. I'm a 17 handicap. I can't drive the ball nearly as far as many of the other guys I'm playing against. Not talking about the PGA players. They're on an entirely different level from everyone. The celebrity athletes in the field. If Roger Clemens and Marcus Allen are hitting the ball 300 yards plus, I'm lucky to be getting it 245."

Q: You've played golf with presidents. What's it like playing golf with Bush 41?
A: Tiring. He doesn't stop moving. The man's in incredible shape.
Both Bushes are into speed golf.
Bush Sr. wants to play a full 18 in two and half hours at most. In case you haven't noticed, I have not always been in the shape to do that comfortably.

You've never given me a reason to doubt you (like so many others), so you don't really need to post a link. Especially on this topic, it's not very important to me.

Thanks. I understand this topic isn't everyone's cup of tea.

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.

The thread is about Rush not Cowpimp or anyone elso....you and Pepper are the ones rationalizing Rush and his behavior....

Personal attacks are not really a good way to prove a point. The simple fact is Rush broke the law 2x and if it was Clinton you would be bashing him all over this thread. If a Democrat, Republican or Independent breaks the law you will see me pointing out that they are criminals also .

Nothing worse than a person who is incapable of judging fairly and choses their Polital Party affiliations or religion over truth and justice.

I'm honestly not trying to be rude. It's extremely frustrating discussing anything with you because you rarely stick to the topic, and ALWAYS misquote me, misinterpret & distory whatever I say.

Please look back to see where I defended Rush Limbaugh. All I said was his case was understandable. I did not excuse anything he has done, or any lawbreaking he did. I'm done.. I will not explain myself anymore... you'd find a way to distort it anyway.

Well I don't need to look back...you just quoted your post defending him for me. And I stick to the facts more than you do when it comes to politics....and the reason I do is because I am not trying to defend the party I believe in, I would rather defend the common man .

unbelievable. Have you read his posts?

Yes, and it looks like you did not.

Is there another thread or another site where he is defending Rush?

maybe, but he's not understanding them.

My bad, I looked back and all busyliving did on this thread is attack Clinton and also some of the members here , Now thats some productive input on this thread topic.

Its hard to put RUsh in jail for a victimless crime.
I feel the same for crackheads and junkies alike.

Prosecute the supplier.

Rush's BIG mistake was the fraudulant doctors notes

OK that was a bit extreme....the user could have children and family that are effected in a negative manner.

I sympathetic towards users in relation to the legal system.

I am NOT sympathetic to their personal responsibilty or a society that "keeps them down"--I just don't think users are the real problem, just the outcome.
