You've earned your Dittohead kneepads. Congrats.
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.
