Florida State Attorney Persecuting Rush Limbaugh is Democrat--Liberal Media Not Telling.

Funny how the partisan Democratic, liberal journalists in the AP and the rest of the liberal media are not pointing out that the man who is going after Rush Limbaugh, Barry Krischer, the Florida State Attorney of the Fifteenth Judicial Circuit (which includes Palm Beach County), is a Democrat. The liberal media are letting people assume that because the Florida Attorney General, Charlie Crist, is a Republican, and because Governor Jeb Bush is a Republican, the Florida State Attorney for Palm Beach, who is going after Limbaugh, is also a Republican.

We saw the liberal media do the same thing during the Democrat Gary Condit’s scandal. Before the liberal media were exposed by conservative media like Rush and the Media Research Center, the liberal journalists were leaving out Condit’s political affiliation and implying he was a conservative Republican. According to the MRC:

"Normally, a 'Republican' or 'Democrat' label is presented nearly every time a member of Congress is cited, as in 'Rep. Gary Condit (D-CA).' But since May, the three broadcast networks have practically erased the 'D' from Condit’s political identity, detaching the scandal-plagued politician from the rest of his party.

"From May 14, when Chandra’s mother, Susan, appeared on Good Morning America to plead for her daughter’s safe return, through July 11, ABC, CBS and NBC morning and evening news programs aired a total of 179 stories about Gary Condit — 121 full-length reports or interviews, plus 58 brief anchor-read items. MRC researchers reviewed each story, and found that Condit was labeled a 'Democrat' only 14 times, or in fewer than eight percent of stories. Six of those labels, or almost half, came paired with adjectives such as 'conservative' or 'right-wing' which distinguished Condit from other members of his party." http://secure.mediaresearch.org/news/reality/2001/fax20010712.html

There is no sign of Krischer's political affiliation when the liberal media discuss his persecution of Rush.

Even ultra-liberal attorney Alan Dershowitz states that people are not prosecuted for what Limbaugh did. On October 10, 2003 on CNN’s Wolf Blitzer Report, Dershowitz told the liberal Wolf: “generally people who illegally buy prescription drugs are not prosecuted where as people who illegally buy cocaine and heroin are prosecuted.” http://edition.cnn.com/TRANSCRIPTS/0310/10/wbr.00.html

Dershowtiz added that Rush should not be singled out: “don't single him [Rush] out.” http://edition.cnn.com/TRANSCRIPTS/0310/10/wbr.00.html

The persecution of Rush Limbaugh is another Democratic witch hunt, just like when the Democrats put Linda Tripp on trial after the Clinton scandal even though they had no case against her: http://www.newsmax.com/articles/?a=1999/12/14/51514

They indicted Tripp on July 30, 1999 persecuted her for about 10 months, and then dropped the case on May 24, 2000 because they had no case.

You answered none of my questions, but want me to answer yours? The day is too short, my friend.

I didn't need to dig for more evidence. I already had evidence that you didn't refute. You had no evidence. Therefore, it was up to you to find evidence if you wanted to counter my argument. You found no evidence, so we will have to consider your post a hate-filled rant rather than a counterargument.

Evidence?  I asked you if you equated drug abuse with littering and whether this extended to condemning the WOD.  You don't need evidence, just a few neurons
to rub together.

The problem with legal fishing expeditioins is that you can have a very determined lawyer take an innocent act and expand it into something sinister. (think of cross examination)

The prosecutor has more than enough to submit this case into the drug court right now, IF that was his goal. This prosecutors goal is to cobble together a charge outside of the Drug Court and push Rush into regular criminal court where the stakes are much higher. The SA only needs the probable cause to charge. It is unheard of for a SA to devote this much effort on a user case.

We know Rush is an admitted adict.
We know Rush abused perscription drugs
We do not know how Rush obtained those pills.
We do know the Democrats of Palm Beach are active and that the SA is one of them.

Even so, rush needs to show he had a legitimate reason to have those pills and he has reasonable doubt.

Roy Black can bring in person after person who has to take more than 11.4 pills per day. Experts to testify that such an amount is not unusual. (In addition to his own doctors.)

For Palm Beach to loose this one when they had a Drug Court textbook case on a silver platter is going to make them L.A. East.

It is unlikely the will drop the case, they will charge rush with "something".

Given the financial crimes unit involvement, they are looking to cobble together the legitimate bank deductions, with having more than one doctor, as a conspiracy to obtain perscription drugs.

The Palm Beach State Attorney is politically invested and needs to charge "something"

But we conservatives then have to bend over backwards to ensure that we are not guilty of the same thing.

No...we conservatives must stand strong, straight, and tall, look 'em in the eye, and do the right thing. It's when we start bending over backwards to prove a negative that libs start taking advantage of our being off balance to try and twist us into pretzels, but I get your point.

Interesting point, the Courts are in a serious budget crunch because the state is taking over the funding of the courts from the counties. If the state is taking "donations" to pay for investigators and "sources" then those revelations could make all information from those donations and sources as fruit of the poisonous tree and inadmissible. If there is concrete information, the offices of statewide prosecutor would be interested (in addition to the FL Bar)

Jeb Bush's daughter had the same problem and her case was quickly and efficiently directed to the FL Drug Court Program. No special treatment was givent to her.

Ack! Hehe.

That's what happens when I try to do to many things at once. I was working two threads, one on the idiot talking head that is going after Rush (the pic) and one on Frankel.

DUH!!!

So the right thing is to selectively enforce laws?

DAs in South Florida can get take down a score of drug dealers every day. But it's not every day a partisan Democrat DA can become a hero and icon to millions by taking down the biggest Truth Dealer in the country and doing a huge service to his Party. "Drugs" is the excuse. "Destruction" is the purpose!

Democrats have been looking for a way to get Rush for years, and he knew that. They will stop at nothing to destroy him, and Rush made it all possible.

This is the sad part about this whole story....because he likely violated at least two or three laws here...and its not like driving 60 in a 45 mph limit area...its a bit more serious. My guess is that he could be talking about a two or three day court case....with an agreed sentence of 12 months probabtion and mandatory drug treatment (and testing). This 'tag' will hurt Rush in the public eye and accomplish what the State Attorney's goal.

I must have missed that post. I have no idea what in the world you are talking about. Perhaps you confuse me with someone else.

I think Cacophonous was a liberal shill. He started blathering about Rush being charged with extortion, threats, bribery, etc. None of which are true.
