Okay, ravinson. Let's say that your statements are correct (and I do agree with a lot of it). Where we differ is the question I have, so what? Would Rush, even if he had not changed over the years, still be beyond redemption? I look at this and see a blessing for you (assuming that you are anti-WOD) and me.

This may be the most important thing Rush has ever done--make people consider the damage done, in addition to the damage done by drugs, by our federal drug laws. I submit that you and I should try to subtly make these points and watch them germinate, rather than alienate. Just a thought, not meant to be confrontational, and worth what you paid for it.

You could be correct -- but what I'm seeing is not germination of any enlightened views on the drug war, but rather a series of false claims that Rush is not a hypocrite because "he (a) hasn't said anything lately in support of the War on Drugs and/or (b) has only condemned users of recreational drugs (or recreational users of drugs) -- and even if he is a hypocrite, so what, he's a conservative hypocrite so he should be given a get out of jail free card."

You can try soft peddling the realities of the War on Drugs to Rush's apologists, but I prefer the direct approach. Right now people are sorting out their thoughts on Rush and the drug laws, and I prefer to directly confront those who may want to still support Rush and the War on Drugs with the blatant inconsistency of such a position.
