Limbaugh Law - Hypocrisy in the defense of liberalism is no vice.

National Review ^ | February 26, 2004 | Mark R. Levin

Apparently, to the Palm Beach Post, Rush Limbaugh and his views are more dangerous than terrorists who seek to sneak into our country and unleash mass destruction.

The left simply can't be logically consistent. If they tried, their little heads would explode.

It seems to me that Mr. Krischer has broke the law and should be investigated himself. the libs cheer these unethical goings ons now but what will thier reaction be when the tables are turned on them? this country is turning as lawless as the old west. its like a nightmare .

Terrorism is a crime. Doctor shopping is a crime. The illegal purchase of 30,000 schedule C narcotics is a crime.

The existence of greater crimes does not render a lesser crime not a crime.

[Protagoras]

It takes a hypocrite to know a hypocrite.

[Scenic Sounds]

If this investigation is believed to be purely political, then a political response would be appropriate - Governor Bush could just pardon Rush for any drug offenses and put an end to the whole thing.

If this investigation is not purely political, then the investigation should go forward.

Terrorism is a crime.

Agreed, but has this statement to do with illegal seizure of private medical records?

Doctor shopping is a crime.

Agreed, but why were records seized illegally? To get a subpoena, the Constitution mandates certain conditions:

Amendment IV
The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.

The illegal purchase of 30,000 schedule C narcotics is a crime.

Given that this act is, indeed, a crime and all of the time and money the prosecutor has expended to date, why have there been no charges against Limbaugh? The logical answer would be that it appears that the prosecutor is incompetent or that there are no real grounds for any charges.

If the prosecutor is incompetent, then he should be summarily dismissed by the press and his constituency. If there are no grounds for the charges, the prosecutor should be summarially dismissed by the press and his constituency and prosecuted, himself, for abuse of office.

...Doctor shopping is a crime. The illegal purchase of 30,000 schedule C narcotics is a crime.

Then there's no evidence Rush is guilty of any of your charges...otherwise he'd be charged, lord knows they've tried...

[basil]

When did you find time to count all those pills?

[norwaypinesavage]

"Terrorism is a crime. Doctor shopping is a crime. The illegal purchase of 30,000 schedule C narcotics is a crime."

Good point. And, I'm sure that Rush would have been charged by now if he had committed any of these crimes. He's obvious, then, that he's innocent.

[1rudeboy]

I really like Mr. Levin. What a guy.

[cwb]

"Doctor shopping is a crime. The illegal purchase of 30,000 schedule C narcotics is a crime."

Maybe I missed it...but when was Rush charged with these "crimes?"

In the end, by allowing legal consequences to be avoided by liberals when they err, and hypocritically insuring that conservatives cannot avoid them, they are creating behavior on the part of liberals which nonetheless has sometimes even worse, though non-legal, consequences.

Note the number of Hollywood stars who simply cannot lick their addictions, why? They are protected from consequences. The liberal cocoon creates destructive behavior, and in the end, is its own punishment.

The left simply can't be logically consistent. If they tried, their little heads would explode.

Or it forces them to become conservative. It's happened to many good folks that I know!

[holdonnow]

Maybe the government should seize your medical records, publish the drugs you've been prescribed -- and the various ailments you've had -- and all under the general claim of doctor-shopping. You're not supposed to seize someone's records in search of a crime. Have you ever heard of probable cause?

[yarddog]

My only criticism of Rush is this. Why in the world did he choose to live in the most leftist county in Florida?

Is it possible that he likes being near these people rather than the rednecks in the panhandle?

Mark Levin is a true ethical attorney, a shining light in the otherwise benighted lawyer industry. Plus he is amazingly funny, with a brilliant razor sharp wit, as he skewers the logical and moral flaws of hypocrites and other liberal vermin. He has a fabulous evening drive time radio show here in the New York area.

I also have great respect for two other voice in the wilderness honest attorneys: Ann Coulter and Rush's brother David.
