Your OWN quote shows the he never pled guilty and will not be held as guilty in a court of law. So y0ou have shown that you favor the guilty until acquitted point of view. As to the $30k, it's just good business. The Prosecutor gets his bills paid by Florida taxpayers, and he can keep up the persecution of Rush long enough to put a serious dent in Rush's bank account. He's blackmailing Rush and Rush put a stop to it. But you just can't stand to admit you're wrong, wrong, wrong, can you?

And you never took responsibility for the wrongness of the "Common man's justice" slur you put out there. You're just digging yourself in deeper and deeper. Rush, finally took responsibility for his problem. It's time for you to take responsibility for yours.

Rush cut a deal and to say otherwise is "Clintonesque" and wouldnt be argued by anyone with integrity. I know everyone loves Rush, but to not admit what he is just makes you the Ditto-head robot that Al Franken says you are.

I note that, when an argument you make is shown to be completely bogus, you keep up the insults and turn to another argument. This demonstrates that winning and insulting are more important to you than the truth.

I never said he didn't cut a deal. To say or imply that I did is to speak or imply a lie. So, unsurprisingly, you say and imply it.

Further, I don't think you have a clear sense of the moral aspects of addiction or of the amazing personal, spiritual, and moral recovery that can be made by somebody who, as they say, "works his program". I would readily concede that Rush himself did not understand addiction and, like you, took unmerited moral high ground and flaunted it. He has learned. You, evidently, haven't.

Why am I not surprised by your trying to twist the facts further, since you so clearly can't handle the fact that you are mistaken and still don't know what you're talking about, and you've just made it obvious.

Rush himself has admitted that he is an addict. I don't think that's under debate. Is anyone on this thread maintaining that he is not an addict? Have you yet admitted that you are mistaken?

Let's see, you've said that I lack integrity and that I'm a robot. I hope you understand how I can conclude that you are more interested in insults and making trouble than in anything close to the truth.

Have a humiliating day. You need one.

Opticoax,

I think you need to understand that Rush can say whatever the hell he wants and can continue his rants. I've never been much of a talkshow or radio show fan myself, but being addicted to painkillers is a problem that happens to many older Americans. It doesn't invalidate his theories or ideas.

Now, what it might do is make him a bit more empathetic towards other Americans who are addicted to drugs of any kind. I think instead of denying he was arrested or denying this or that, the proper stance would be to just admit it but not stop upholding your principles.

Now as far as liberals... (laughs) what the hell dude, they're gonna spout whatever crap they usually spout regardless of anything. I mean, what, do you think they would, like, not try to invalidate him if he wasn't on drugs?

Puhlease.

You're going to have to go back and read my post a little more carefully. I said that, NOW, Rush cant criticize junkie Libs. Rush cant question someone's credibility based on a drug addiction even when he should. Waiting for your reply.

Here's what you wrote initially, among other things:


Now Rush can't criticize junkie Libs like Charlie Sheen, Ethan Hawke, Mr. or Mrs. Wachowski.....etc because he has the stink of addiction clinging to him.

There's no reason why Rush can't call Charlie Sheen an idiot for joining the Alex Jones tinfoil parade. Everyone who has fallen for that twerp's nonsense can't be on dope. But I can't think of a reason why Rush would waste valuable broadcast time talking about Ethan Hawke or the drag queen Wachowski unless they pulled a Dixie Chick trick and flew across the Atlantic to spew about how much they don't like America.

Nice try.

Yes, here we had it from your "horse" mouth or from your pals at the "drive-by" L.S.M's talking points, quote........


"Rush was arrested, released on $3K bail, and made a deal that he wont be prosecuted if he stays clean for 18 months and pays a $30K fine....that's your hero."




So please tell us, WHEN and WHERE was he arrested???




"That's called intellectual honesty."
WOW, ROTLMAO!
I think your intellectual "honesty" is nothing than horse piss. Intellectuals libs consider themselves as the Elitists, right; you included???




You never answered my question in my post 134:
6) How is your own marital status, Pal, and what has this to do with Rush's radio show and his competent???

IF anything, Rush's numbers PICKED UP after the situation hit news. The Public is addicted to the "Oprah" scenario -- and yes, even when it involves, particularly, when it involves a conservative Talk Show host.

Your explanations do not bear out in real time. However, it is clear you despise Rush Limbaugh, and are smug in your open dislike of him. So be it.

I think he's a doll. And he's right 98% of the time. :)

I do hope the FL Bar somehow sanctions the prosecutor for lying about the statement of the ethics department opinions. There is no statute of limitations on bar complaints, no speedy trial. This prosecutor HAS impuned the credibility of the prosecutors and legal system by his misrepresentations to state and public.

Kinda like our Nifong in North Carolina. The prosector in Rush's case was hoping to turn this into some type of Democrat Vehicle "for change". They failed.

Never said anything about his ratings, just his credibility.

I want to hear about your marital status first. Its very relevant to the debate at hand.

Sorry I criticized your hero, Rushbots, but even the most ardent Rushie has to admit the man isnt blameless and he hasnt been honest.

BTW, the word you were looking for was competence.

You might want to back out of this fight.

Compared to you, I'm a freakin Dynamo!

Keep up the brilliant debate patter. It makes you look real intelligent. Try to work in "horse piss" a few more times.

I'll try to sum this up for you

Is the common man able to get arrested on a felony and then pay a $30,000 fine to have the charges expire?

Does the common man get to have his case drawn out over 3 years?

Did or did not Rush get arrested, accept a deal that says he will be prosecuted if he doesnt keep clean for 18 months.

I dont know what you are failing to grasp here.

I know you like Rush, but you've got to be honest with yourself about what he is and what he did.

Hey, why would I despise el Rushbo who I have listened to since he started, and thereby converted my very very democratic voting wife to vote the RIGHT way after she was sneak-listen in on my listening and watching Rush Limbaugh???

1) You are able to find that on my Web-Portal!

2) It is sooooo uplifting to meet such a self serving person like you, TOTALLY blameless!!

3) I don't claim to be an intellectual like YOU. "Competence," so very sorry I'm not meeting your standard of spelling or grammar, however, maybe you can accept that English in only my third (3rd.) language. Would be interesting to know how many languages you speaks, mr. INTELLECUAL??? 4) What fight are you talking about???

"Hannity is a conservative broadcaster. That makes him more intelligent than any liberal media personality."

So what.

Any third grade student would also trounce the average liberal.

That being said, Hannity is not an original thinker. Before he went nationwide, he followed Rush on WABC in New York. It was not worth listening to Hannity after having heard Rush. Hannity's whole show was a weak parroting of Rush's. It still is.

Hannity has never presented a line of thinking on any issue that floors me. Rush does it all the time.

Hannity is just a repetitious johnny-one-note with his catch phrases, "Right sweet baby?", "What would Reagan do?" and "Let not your heart be troubled".
