I am not saying the Rush is Clinton. I'm saying, we should not fall into the trap of defending someone simply b/c he/she is conservative. I do not know, and neither do you, the facts in this case. I do know Rush is accused of breaking the law. If this is true, he should be prosecuted the same as anyone else. Now, if others committing the same crime do not usually get prosecuted, that is fine, but I don't think we should jump to his defense simply b/c he is conservative. At best, it is hypocritical. At worst, it is a sell-out of beliefs and values.

Well take a look for yourself at the prosecution of a non-violent, non-trafficking, first time offender, who has agreed to treatment. The prosecution is almost nil. But what the hey, that fact doen't make for good copy in the liberal media or by those with an agenda on FR, IMO.
