The one quote they found of Rush "chewing" anyone out for drug abuse was from 1995 before Rush was addicted, and he was obviously talking about recreational drug users, not people who become addicted through no fault of their own when being treated medically for pain.
According to Dershowitz, not only Rush, but law enforcement makes a distinction.
It seems only now with Rush's situation have liberals become unable to understand the distinction. Now that is hypocrisy.
Hey, I'm not arguing the point. Liberals are the biggest liars and hypocrites on the planet, and that is one of the more charming aspects of their personalities. It's also what drives people to the conservative camp. But we conservatives then have to bend over backwards to ensure that we are not guilty of the same thing.
