The Political Prosecution of Rush Limbaugh

If Rush was a leftist celebrity, he would be on every talk show in America talking about overcoming addiction.

The prosecution cannot force the defendant to incriminate himself for them. Its time the trial judge ordered the case dismissed with prejudice and sanctioned the Palm Beach County D.A's office for wasting the court's time.

(Denny Crane: "I Don't Want To Socialize With A Pinko Liberal Democrat Commie.Say What You Like About Republicans. We Stick To Our Convictions. Even When We Know We're Dead Wrong.")

I have to agree, the judge should end this now. The Fat Lady has been singing since the git-go with this case.

[EagleUSA]

The whole pursuit of this was a liberal setup for day one. Using the judicial system has become the preferred method of radical leftists to attack those that BEAT THEM AT EVERY TURN, whether its on talk radio or at the ballot box.

This is why judicial reform needs to happen in a big way in this country. The judiciary has become a major political weapon, is abused constantly and without any serious accountability to the perps.

All you need to do is compare & contrast the media treatment of Rush vs that of Robert Downey Jr. - there you have it...

[blastdad51]

Can Limbaugh sue the DA for malicious prosecution?

[westmichman]

I am getting seriously fed up with these leftists! If they don't watch it, I will go out and campaign for republicans again!

[freekitty]

I wonder what has been promised to Krischer for pursuing this path of illegally prosecuting an American citizen?

[Jaidyn]

A frustrated Roy Black, Limbaugh's attorney, said in response to the latest skirmish: "They cannot force Mr. Limbaugh to supply their evidence for them."



What it amounts to is the prosecution is trying to force Rush to convict himself. Guilty until proven innocent isn't going to go over too good. This prosecutor isn't the only one who needs investigated.

[PositiveCogins]

Can Limbaugh sue the DA for malicious prosecution?

If he cant, he should run for the office win it and resign.

[wagglebee]

Or Kate Moss.

[axes_of_weezles]

How about violations of Privacy Act and HIPAA?

[scotiamor]

No mention in this article of the DA's mother, also a democrat activist, bragging at the county democrat meeting that her boy was going to put Rush Limbaugh in jail.

[adamsjas]

Its time the trial judge ordered the case dismissed with prejudice and sanctioned the Palm Beach County D.A's office for wasting the court's time.

There's been no case brought. No charges filed. There's nothing to dismiss except this prosecutor, and I don't see that happening anytime soon.

Corrected title:

The Political Persecution of Rush Limbaugh



As with the Tom Delay case, I do not understand why there couldn't/shouldn't be a Federal Civil Rights prosecution of these DA's, since they are persecuting these people under the color of government authority, simply because of the political beliefs of the persecuted.

Let's have a closer look at your bank records, Mr. Martz. We'd like to know if you've paid all the taxes you owe.

[rawhide]

I think we are starting to see a Democratic pattern here, with Rush being hounded over nothing, Tom Delay being hounded over nothing, Libby Scooter being hounded over nothing. This seems to be the latest Democratic operandi, get prosecutors to take out your political enemy for you.
but if you happen to be a Democrat, and you steal confidential documents by stuffing them down your pants, you get a pass, and an later an ambassadorship to France!

[Gritty]

Sheesh!

The Prosecutor is still searching for "evidence" after 2 years? Where's Ronnie Earle when you need him!!??

[Liberty Valance]

Why don't the democrats just go ahead and sue to overturn that pesky, outdated Constitution. That seems to be their ultimate goal.

Stand your ground Rush.

[Cicero]

I thought this was a kangaroo prosecution from the beginning, and was surprised at how many Freepers were critical of Rush. He had a painful back, his doctors prescribed pain killers, and he got hooked. Then he got himself unhooked. What is criminal or immoral about that?

The story evidently got out to the prosecutor when Rush refused to pay blackmail to a former housekeeper.

I'd say that this would appear to be part of a corrupt pattern of Democrat prosecutions of prominent Republicans. Limbaugh, DeLay, Libby. They can't beat them any other way, so they abuse their offices by bringing false or ludicrous charges against them.
