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.

Your premise the law is not applied to anyone else is flawed

The stupid law in questions says that Noelle,who was in knowing posession of a fake prescription and tried to obtain drugs illegally, is guilty of only a misdemeanor,but Rush, who alledgedly made the heinous mistake of going to more than one doctor during a 30 day period and getting the same prescription, is guilty of a felony.

He should have just gotten a fake prescription book and written his own.

Now you are just being intentionally obtuse. I leave you to wallow in your own hypocrisy.

I don't like any of them. I think Dean is better - again, a relative term with that pack of stooges - because a lot of dems are ticked off at him.

It's not like Rush Limbaugh was a slacker dope addict in any sense of the word.

So DAs should only go after drug cases that involve "slacker dope addicts"?

While what the DA is doing in Florida might seem extreme, its well within their abilities to do so. Don't like it? Change the laws.

Once again you sound like a liberal shill. Of course you need to show how I am being hypocritical. And you can't do that. All you can do is name call and call for political persecution of Rush.

Wrong. Saying that he should be prosecuted because of his politics when others aren't is hypocritical. Look up word.

To add on to that: I don't care if Rush is the 1st of 100k drug cases that the DA did this (which I doubt). What conservatives should do is to enact laws to prevent fishing expeditions like this, or else its going to happen again. Except next time 'conservatives' won't be calling this a fishing expedition.

Of course I did. First I showed why you were wrong with a rhetorical question, then I called you a liberal. Then I pointed out how insane it was for you to post people stuff and whine when they post you back. In many cases, when you post people, they post you back. You're not intelligent enough to realize that? Are you going to whine that I posted you back again? LOL.

Nah, they should just go after conservative Republicans right? Like sexual harassment law.

Wrong. What I said was true and easily verified. That means you are delusional.
