The Clintons were blackmailing people - Rush was being blackmailed - somehow this a morally equivalent thing?

I like Rush, but what he did was illegal. He needs to be prosecuted to the same extent anyone else would be (and I will state that I do not know what that extent usually is for this type of case).

I don't think we should argue that he is a political target unless we know for sure that he is being prosecuted much more strongly than others in similar circumstances. I also don't think we should make too light of the fact that he did break the law. I think we need to let this play out a little and not be too quick to defend or jump on Rush. In other words, we should not be willing to defend him simply b/c he is a conservative. We should always be on the side of what the law and what is right. We should not make the mistake made by the Rats in defending Clinton. With that said, I am withholding judgment until I know more.

The Clintons were blackmailing people[ in which jurisdiction were they tried and convicted?] - Rush was being blackmailed - somehow this a morally equivalent thing? There is no equivalence here whatsoever, rush was paying someone off and the clintons never spent time in jail.
