RUSH LIMBAUGH LIVE THREAD PREGAME SHOW

[Chancellor Palpatine]

Start your engines.

[Mo1]

Exactly. And when conservatives become socialists they deserve the hottest place in hell.

Because we don't think hard drugs should be legal???

Oh Please ..

And for the record, I have seen to many examples of how drugs can not only mess a person up, but it can also mess up the whole family

I know a guy who was so whacked out on drugs that he cut his pecker off because the voices told him too

So sorry .. called me what you wish and tell me I'll rot in hell, but nobody will convience me drugs are a good thing

[StriperSniper]

YOU ARE ONE PERSON I WOULD NOT WANT ON MY JURY.

it might be better to have someone like me on the jury because

jj - Corret me if I'm wrong, but do you not believe in jury nullification?

JFC - If I am correct, that is exactly the kind of person everybody should want on their jury.

Guess time is gonna tell, hopefully relatively soon, as Rush suggested today.

Sean Hannity isn't on today, BTW, apparently he's lost his voice. The sub (not sure who it is, a NY guy) says that when Sean won the Marconi award yesterday he paid tribute to Rush Limbaugh, that Rush had allowed him to substitute and be heard on affiliates for the first time and helped make him a success. He praised Rush effusively and said what a great guy Rush was...

[Fawnn]

The government has no business in forbidding 'drugs' to citizens. If you believe otherwise, you're a socialist, plain and simple.
Exactly. And when conservatives become socialists they deserve the hottest place in hell.

Jim: Are the above comments a reflection of your intent when you voiced protest against the war on drugs (as quoted in this post)?

As I understand your words, objecting to a "war on drugs" in no way advocates liberal drug use. ???

[Timesink]

Again, I am just amazed at how so many on this board are ready to throw Rush overboard just because he is not doing things on their time schedule.

I am amazed how many people on this board don't know that the first rule when you're caught up in legal trouble is SAY NOTHING ABOUT IT, especially not to 20 million people at once. Guilt or innocence has nothing to do with it.

[Timesink]

The sub (not sure who it is, a NY guy)

Curtis Sliwa, founder of the Guardian Angels and co-host of WABC's morning show.

[Grit]

I agree. It was just the first time that I had heard the "speculation angle" in the news. Not the last I assume.

[Dianna]

She has the email evidence on her computer - which will give an ISP match to Limbaugh. Also she and her hubby have taken and passed lie detector tests. And, I believe there is also audio-taped conversations between her and Limbaugh which the Enquirer is threatening to put up on its website.

We know that people will lie about Rush. We know that the media will distort things to get Rush or any conservative. Does Rush have a history of being a liar? Do we know of instances where he has acted dishonorably? Is there anything he has EVER said or done which makes these allegations credible? Or do you just believe whatever is out there?

[MinuteGal]

Hmmm, with the so-called tapes, emails and videos, what if Rush was a key part of a well-set-up law enforcement sting operation on the maid and her ring of dealers?

Such is the stuff novels are made of. I suppose I can dream, can't I?

Still......

[Fawnn]

Exactly! (I'm sure frustrated by the number of "my way or the highway" comments on this thread. "Rush didn't say what I thought he should have said, so....")

[GOPrincess]

I imagine we may be hearing more of that speculation...

[Jim Robinson]

I am opposed to drug (narcotics) use or trafficking, but I do not support the federal war on drugs. I don't think it passes constitutional muster. Crime fighting, including drug crimes (other than international smuggling, etc) should be left to the states and local jurisdictions. I also do not support no knock raids, asset forfeiture, unauthorized wire taps or snooping into bank accounts, etc. All unconstitutional.

[GOPrincess]

Thanks for filling me in on the name. :)

[Mr. Mojo]

I also do not support no knock raids, asset forfeiture, unauthorized wire taps or snooping into bank accounts, etc. All unconstitutional.

And unfortunately all too common. The 4th amendment is dust.

[Aquinasfan]

Again, I am just amazed at how so many on this board are ready to throw Rush overboard just because he is not doing things on their time schedule.

I'm not willing to "throw him overboard" because of his alleged drug problem. I'm more than willing to forgive that. Not coming clean bothers me though. I see no downside to him telling the truth as he sees it.

[Timesink]

I agree. It was just the first time that I had heard the "speculation angle" in the news. Not the last I assume.

Nope. Keith Olbermann is gleefully running with this "story" tonight on his show. Thankfully, his program is the lowest-rated prime-time show on any news channel, for obvious reasons.

I don't think this has anything to do with Limbaugh being a conservative. You think Wilma wouldn't have pulled the same stunt on one of the Kennedys? (Of course, if she had they would have paid her off.)

It's more than "allegations". As I said, there appears to be audio-taped evidence, email evidence and polygraph test results (though I think OJ once passed one of these so that doesn't say much...)

Limbaugh's lawyer asked her to hand over her computer because he was worried about the email fingerprints being on the machine - as happened with Lewinsky. Instead, she took in a hard drive from another computer to his office and destroyed that in front of him.

I can agree with most of that. Thank you for the clarification.
