[JudgemAll]

For years Rush said that those who illeglally use or deal in drugs should go to prison, for a very long time. He had no sympathy and supported the war on drugs completely. He thought that drug offendors, felons, should lose their right to bear arms, and the right to vote. Now that he is an addict, and now that he has been caught, he has tried to change what he was saying. Rush should go to prisong for 20 or 30 years, as he was so adamately advocating just less than 5 years ago.

So you mean that Rush and druggies should not even defend themselves in court????

There are really two issues here. One is Rush's right to due process under the law, and the right to defend himself.

The other issue might be called the moral issue, and that revolves around the difference between becoming addicted to a prescribed medicine, and becoming addicted through recreational use.

Once again we see the face of moral equivalence.

Gimme the dates upon which he supposedly 'spoke' on this subject (back to '98 anyway) -
