Or did you just "hear it someplace" that Rush wanted all white people jailed an prosecuted, or whatever it was you claimed
There's an oft-quoted bit from Rush, from maybe 8-10 years ago, about how he feels that the people saying it's not right for blacks to get more punishment than whites for coke/crack abuse are correct, and that instead of lessening punishment of blacks, we need to increase the punishment of whites.
Now, you can make of that what you will, but it is a fact that he said it.

Coulda fooled me. Dane and the authoritarian crowd regularly make asses of themselves on any libertarian-themed thread, which they can't resist supplying 80% of the posts for.This one is about Rush, though, so they have to circle the wagons pretty tight! It would be nice if they had some consistency. I am not sure if any of them have an understanding of what it means to be conservative. I really don't consider myself libertarian, the way they seem to think. Conservatism is the essence of one who covets what the founders intended, for our homeland! These guys prefer an authoritarian state. They want to justify it by saying that 'some may stray', and commit unmentionable crimes. Their position, is that we must prevent a crime, before it happens. And, that we must make everyone think alike, and toe every line.
I don't wonder what it went wrong, and have no doubts, that we will never realize their 'ideal' again! Especially with folks so staid, in their blind support, for such 'nanny statism". After all, they (these WOD supporters) agree with Hitlery, It takes a Village. They also call on Jack-Booted-Thugs, to keep us in line!
Now, back to that Cuban Cohiba!

The ones in the cells have been convicted of a crime. As far as I know Mr. Limbaugh hasn't. YETIf he is, will you say to throw away the key on that no good junkie? Or might you consider a little mercy for El Rushbo?
Personally, I don't see that he committed any crime but then I don't see that the street junkie did either. I was taught that this was a free country way back in elementary school. That means you have the right to do as you please, however foolish, so long as you do not hurt anyone else.
My only argument with Rush is the hypocracy.

It's far simpler then that...the harm is caused by knowingly breaking the law.
So by this logic, if the government arbitrarily created a law tomorrow that said driving a red car is illegal, you believe there is a harm caused by someone driving a red car, because breaking a law is in itself harmful. Sounds pretty circular to me.
So it doesn't matter how stupid or unjust the law is? Do you also feel there is an inherent harm in driving 56 in a 55 mph zone? Rolling through a stop sign?
Explain the real harm, as 99% of us understand the word "harm" to mean.

The right-wing statists are no different or better than the left-wing statists. Like the "Christian fundies" that the liberals stereotype, it's not about making just laws, it's about what one side thinks are just laws.

This one is about Rush, though, so they have to circle the wagons pretty tight! It would be nice if they had some consistency. The authoritarians have divided into 2 groups on this one. The hardliners, like CJ and KC, say "send Rush up the river just like a maggot infested doper." Although they are more consistent than the "hillbilly heroin ain't as as bad as negro heroin" crowd, the hardliners are much more dangerous, as they understand that making Rush do the perp walk will consolidate the terror that they are conditioning Americans to accept.
One small and telling consolation though, is that from what I've seen, the hardliners like CJ and KC have pretty much stayed away from the Rush threads. Apparantly, even their shamelessness has limits.

I am not sure even Rush would agree. He likes his opposition to be informed, of his position. He even puts them to the front of the line, on the phones.
Some of us are 'dittoheads". That means we mostly agree, like his show, and some of us bought his ties! But, not everybody that listens to Rush, feels he is innocent, or justified, in his drug use! Some of us, though, do agree that the WOD is wrong. We feel it is an assault on personal liberty. Sure, our argument is,often, about the use of drugs, but just as much, it is about Cuban Cohibas cigars, shooting a man during a traffic stop, or wearing your seat belt!!!

Your Silence about Rush is Deafening Yes I AGREE,
Most Conservatives are not being vocal enough in SUPPORT of Rush, IMO.

I'm so far removed, from being a " church lady " nanny stater, that it's patently obvious your delusional state has reached crisis level. LOL
Poor RFoberft Taft, talkikng like that in 1950 and poor YOU, attempting, by implication, to claim that old rubarb, about livikng in a " police state ". You don't knolw what living in a POLICE STATE really IS like, nor much about fascism either. And yeah ...Ike was a " FASCIST "; right.
Now, here's a thought, whacky as it might be...build a tikme machine and go back to when you imagine things were better. You wouldn't be " happy " at all then, either. :^)
To: GodBlessRonaldReagan
Amen to that. Graham's show is horrible, and the sound of his voice causes my hand to reach reflectively for the dial to change stations. He is one of those mediocre talents who tries to be "outrageous" by saying stupid things like the post above. A deep thinker he is not.
To: Bluntpoint
"How many have had Rush come to their defense?" Precisely. Rush's case highlights the irrationality of the drug laws. I have no problem with you or Rush taking mega doses of Oxycontin per day. Just don't behave in illegal ways while on it. I'd like Rush to tell the world that the drug laws are a political tool, and should be abolished.
To: pageonetoo
Cerrypicking scriptures and then using that as refuataion, is base, low, irrational, ridiculous, and doesn't EVER count, snookums.
And, truth be told, the likes of you, drive more people into questioning faith, than anything else. You and yourf ilk aren't much different from the Taliban and the Mullahs in Saudi Arabia and Iran.
To: boomop1
Do you not believe in periods? You writing would be much easier to read if you'd punctuate.
