Ahh, the nutfarm has allowed one of their people to speak again!! If only Rush would have been drunk, drove off a bridge and killed a woman. Then he could be celebrated as a great leader!!!

[workerbee]

Do you disagree that the context of a fact matters?

[L.N. Smithee]

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.

When the news broke that he had a pill problem, the Rush-haters scoured their surveillance of him going back years hunting for hypocrisy, and all they found was a single instance in which he said people who use illegal drugs should be sent to jail. I invite you to detail instances in which Rush 'criticized junkie libs.'

Don't chicken out.

This Krischer needs a good steady Freeping. Maybe multiple Freeps. I would assume he makes regular public appearances. Let's make his life more interesting. I will gladly come to Florida to participate.

See wikipedia- it was caused by an autoimmune disease.

Fine: it DOES show more about me.

Be advised I consider marching in lock step a good vocation for the LEFT; and I reserve my right to have personal opinions-even those that may offend you.

I think what really "stinks" is the moral equivalency of equating intentional, recreational, illegal, drug abuse and addiction, with inadvertent addiction to pain medication prescribed by a personal physician to relieve severe pain resulting from a medical condition. How about you? ;-)

[Glenmerle]

You are, quite simply, a dishonest person.

[motzman]

It's amazing.

Post after post by people about how Rush is a druggie and blah blah blah and the whole thing boils down to some whacko houskeeper trying to blackmail Rush with tales of thousands of pills, drug distribution, money laundering, "at least 10 felony charges", and so on,

YET

All they can charge him with is 40 pills and not even be able to prove that was a crime????

WTF?

And because Rush made one passing comment 1995 about drug users going to jail (what an outrageous statement!) and generally rejected hippie culture and lifestyle "choices", he should be given his comeuppance?

Rush was Railroaded.

Amtrak-ed

[JNL]

Of course he was arrested, nearly every thread on this contains the falsehood that he was not. To get the facts why don't we look at this:

http://edition.cnn.com/2006/LAW/04/28/limbaugh.booked/index.html

"Although Black urged reporters not to call it an arrest -- because Limbaugh turned himself in and was never handcuffed -- a sheriff's spokesman said technically he was under arrest during his booking."

Now we can say that the whole police station are nothing but a bunch of liars....but that would be wrong.

[genefromjersey]

Now, let's see: Rush was charged with obtaining 2000 prescription painkillers via prescription fraud.

Here's a Florida waitress,charged with possession of a bottle of percodet (sp?):

Do you see any difference in the way the two defendants were treated ?

[NewLand]

Krischer ought to be ashamed of himself, and the people of Palm Beach County ought to be frightened by what passes for law enforcement in their neck of the woods.

Well said. Those liberals think it's OK until they are the victim.

"Hannity especially"

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

[ladyinred]

Palm Beach is full of idiot liberals who are still trying to count votes for Gore. They hate, and I do mean HATE anything or anyone conservative. Rush was a victim of their vicious stupidity.

[reasonisfaith]

With the power vested in me by virtue of my God-given unalienable rights, and on behalf of all Americans, I hereby grant a full pardon to Rush Limbaugh for his crime, during a period lasting approximately eighteen years, of exposing liberals as certifiable fools while ending their campaing to ruin our country.

[cantfindagoodscreenname]

I believe the hearing loss was caused by Rush's intake of painkillers. Correct?

Way back when Rush first told us about his addiction, he said that his hearing loss wasn't caused by this.

[Alia]

I didn't post that in order to hurt your feelings nor stifle your rights to have personal opinions.

Rush paid big bucks for a very fine lawyer. As I understand how some things work in law -- OTHERS (lawyers) MAY NOW STUDY Mr. Black's methods and the case. This means, that others being wrongfully prosecuted may also find legal relief.

This is good news, GenefromJersey.
