"Good to know there is one person on the planet (you) who has never committed an act of hypocrisy. We should all bask in your reflective virtue. "

It is interesting that the only ground you have left is to attack me. This isn’t about me.

Either Rush is sincere in his advocacy of personal responsibility or he is not. We will find out soon enough, if he dodges responsibility I’ll never listen to him again. If he admits what he has done and accepts responsibility then I’ll be his staunchest supporter. The difference between your view and mine is that I believe that we have self control, when we fail (as we all do from time to time) we need to admit our failures, learn from them and go on, blaming everyone else is just not acceptable to me.

Rush can blame his back, his mother, the liberal media, hypocrites, the weather or whatever he wants, but there is only one person who is to blame, I can see that. It amazes me that so many here can’t.

I did not attack you. I responded to your holier than thou post.

He seems to be taking full responsibility for his actions. If you complain that he is using a lawyer and will possibly mount a legal defense to possible criminal charges, that's how the system works. Anyone not doing so would be nuts.

When has he attempted to assign blame elsewhere? He hasn't. He has blamed no one but himself. Sounds like responsibility to me.

You are attacking him for something he has not done.

Maybe after you have been here for more than five months, you will begin to see more clearly.

Rush has not killed, robbed, or sold dope to support his habit. As far as we know he has never missed a day of work because of it. He has never beat his wife of step children or even kicked the cat. He never complained or whined or missed a day of work while going totally deaf, except the days he saw his doctor and the time neccessary for the implant operation.

You say you will never listen to Rush again if he doesn't accept all the blame for his addiction-he already has. If you ever listened to the Rush Show as you pretend, you would know that.
