Rush Limbaugh deserves prosecution

The discovery of $50 billion in Johnson's trunk at the border resulted in absolutely nuttin......I think he was someone elses bag-man but nobody is talking.

Oxycontin use, possession, purchase or sale is illegal except when taken under the advice and supervision of a licensed medical doctor.

An your proof that Rush did anything illegal is?

[toddst]

According to inside sources, when police raided Rush Limbaugh's house, they found between $100,000 and $200,000 cash.

Ah, the old unnamed sources routine. And you believe this? I want to see something documented. Beyond that, if Rush wants to have that much cash at home it's his business.

It's the same with the money laundering charge that surfaced a few weeks ago. The liberal media tried to paint Rush's withdrawl of his own legally earned money from his own bank account as "laundering' because he withdrew it in amounts just below the $10,000 threshold where it would have to be reported to the feds. Hey what ever happened to privacy?

Rush sounds no different now than he did before detox, when he was high as a kite most of the time.

I'm pretty sure Rush made it clear that he only used drugs when he was alone. He said he didn't want to share the high with anybody.

[Eaker]

Rush deserves to be honest with himself and use the protections of the law like everyone else.

Spot on!!!!

I stole my new tag line from your Profile Page.

You're an old pro, huh? Where did I assert facts that Rush is a criminal? That's right, nowhere.

It's enough for me know he's a self-confessed opiate addict, and has been a junkie for years.

Does the fact that Rush was high on opiates while discoursing on the air affect his standing with dittoheads even a little? His alleged criminality aside, doesn't his opiate-addled brain mean anything to you? lol

You can project your anger, frustration and disappointment elsewhere, but the truth will out.

Beautiful. I'll say a prayer of thanks for you and your wonderful wife.

I experienced a little incident in Vietnam that put me in the hospital for 14 months and eleven surgeries. During this time they ( the medical staff) saw fit to give us guys in a lot of plaster SECONOL (sp) around 10pm each night. I had no idea what SECONOL was nor what it did. I only knew I was getting some sleep at night.

This continued all through the 14 months and upon discharge was given a prescription for additional SECONOL, upon leaving the dispensary I had a jar of red pills the size of a mayonnaise jar. I continued to use this drug, except I wasn’t taking one each night, by now I was taking 4-5 a day, and not even thinking about nodding off. This continued through about an additional 6 months till a new doctor refused to write a new script......I replaced the Reds with Vodka.....It was a very low time in my life. I realized what was happening to me a attempted to straighten myself out, I had many ups and downs and it wasn’t till I met a wonderful gal who is my current wife did I have the caring and support to kick it altogether. That was 35 years ago.

I had no intentions of getting hooked on boose and pills, it just happened.

I have walked in those moccasins, so I’m not going to rush to judgment on Rush .

Everyone makes mistakes. He's owned up to his and sought treatment. I suppose you think he should serve jail time. I don't.

[Mr. Lucky]

It's not the least bit popular to bring it up on this forum, but Rush is not a conservative any more than Jack Benny was a tightwad or George Reeves was Superman.

Limbaugh plays the radio persona of a conservative; in his personal life, he's anything but.

I suppose you think

Your suppositions are your own. If you'd read my earlier comments on this very thread, you might not have made such a foolish remark.

Your focus on Rush's legal situation and whether he should be incarcerated reveals more about your own thoughts (fears?) than mine.

I'm withholding my opinion on that angle, awaiting further and official allegations.

Rather than make a reckless supposition, permit me to ask you forthrightly, do you think Rush should get a pass for any laws he may have broken?

People who take opiates regularly are not "high" on them.

Are you speaking for yourself or all opiate addicts? So when a junkie says he wants to "get high", he's lying right?

You might be thinking I'm a prude high up on a horse with no experience in hard drugs and drug addicts. You might be wrong.

[ladyinred]

I am speaking from the standpoint of education about pain killers. There is a difference between a "junkie" and a person who has been taking pain meds for an extended amount of time. People with chronic pain do not take the meds to get high sir, they don't even make you high. Do some research and you will understand the difference. I never said or thought you were a prude, and I sure didn't mean to imply that.

[Gritty]

I wonder if the writer said the same thing about bill clinton, and wanted justice served there?

[cynicom]

Lets ask them what JFK was hooked on.....For pain

[bassmaner]

Well Drug Warriors... what say you? Should Rush fry for his involvement with the illegal drug market?

Let's see ...

[witnesstothefall]

education about pain killers

That's where you tell people what to think, not how to think, right?

The sad fact is that many chronic pain sufferers become junkies. Another sad fact is that many junkies claim chronic pain to obtain drugs and justify their addictions.

A final sad fact is that there are infinite combinations within individuals of varying degress of physical and/or spiritual pain accompanied by varying legal/illegal abuse of legal/illegal substances.

But a junkie is as a junkie does.
