Why is talking about news events of the day considered "bashing"?

When did this board become a Rush Limbaugh Worship Center? He was on the cover of USA Today and many other papers and news outlets but we are to remain silent here?

Rush has railed against drug users and said that they all should be thrown in jail. He has railed against trail lawyers as well. Now he has hired a famous trail lawyer to defend himself against drug abuse charges.

You see nothing to talk about, I see rank hypocrisy from the man with "talent on loan from God."

Because YOU aren't " talking about news events of the day "; you're trashing Rush on flimsey,probably bogus " evidence ", sold for money to the Enquirerer, by two con artists.

I don't " worship " Rush; I don't even like his radio show.

He's " railed aginst trial lawyers ", when they have engaged in ridiculous efforts. He has been accused PUBLICLY, of doing something or things criminal and it would be more than stupid, to NOT hire a lawyer and the best one money can buy. Because he is wealthy, do you want him to NOT have the same recourse, that everyone else, rich or poor has; i.e. a lawyer ?

He is INNOCENT, until proven guilty in a court of law. The very barest of bones of this thing have been laid out to the public; yet YOU have decided that he's not only guilty, but a hypocrite to boot. That isn't discussing something in the news. That is blindly biased posts, written by someone with more than a few axes to grind.

One or two threads about unsubstantiated gossip (until there are charges there is no offense) may be tolerable but 80+ threads and starting up a bunch more to wage class envy is trolling.

There are more important matters at hand like the French made missiles located in Iraq (A HREF="http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/994679/posts">Polish troops find new French missiles in Iraq") and there is this story that has run under several headlines: BREAKING?: 60 Million In Biological Warheads, Chemical Arms en Route to Europe Snagged

Keep on your little drug war rant. Light up your spliff and feel "relevant".

"...Rush has railed against drug users "
Evidence, please? Drug dealers, maybe, but users, I cannot recall this ever happening, and I have been there since the beginning...

Ah, so being on the cover of a tabloid paper and a tabloid in connection with flimsy charges is de facto proof of guilt? Gee, I'd better call my crim law professor and let her know.

/sarcasm

Anyone who has already tried, convicted, and sentenced Rush based on such weak, inadmissible, unverifiable, unauthenticated evidence is a real fool.

I haven't seen an iota of proof that this maid didn't make this whole thing up just to make a few HUNDRED GRAND.

I hope Rush sues her, the Enquirer, and the Daily News for libel per se. Since actual malice can be inferred from the wording of the stories, he would probably win (and the defendants could not prove substantial truth because their evidence is inadmissible).

"Rush has railed against drug users and said that they all should be thrown in jail."

I don't think so, sparky. Have listened to him since he was a local guy in Sacramento; NEVER heard him say anything of the sort. Of course, if you can prove it......................

Well from your two comments about "Rush Limbaugh Worship Center" and "talent on loan from God" it seems to me that you have a religious jealousy problem with Rush more than anything else. Sounds like you are jealous that your fellow freepers worship Rush more than God.

I listen to Rush at least three times a week and I've never heard him "rail against drug users." As far as him railing against trial lawyers, get an education, the trial lawyers that Rush is talking about are those filing class action suits on tobacco, silicone implants, fast food etc. Its those people like the Senator from NC who get rich inventing court cases to try in civil court not criminal defense lawyers.

"rank hypocrisy?

Why would someone, as you say is 'worth millions' stoop to riding into mall parking lots to obtain medications to alleviate his aches and pains from a felons. I believe this couple had a plan in mind from the get go. Only Rush will clear up this matter when he himself will get all the facts.....Looks like the opposition has declared 'war' on the conservatives. ..God Bless you Rush and keep up the good work.

Of course, he is being victimized by drug sellers now to save their own skin.

Drug sellers who managed to retain a very elite lawyer high up in the liberal establishment.

Why don't you wait for all the facts, and then go into the attack mode.

It is not. What is considered a bit ignorant is being judge and jury in a case that only broke 48 hours ago. No one knows the truth in this case.

It is intellectually simple to come out and say Rush is guilty, or Rush is getting special treatment when no one yet knows the true facts or because Rush is not doing things according to someone elses time schedule!

I have bashed Rush myself, last being his comment on ESPN, which I felt was quite stupid to say. But, I will not pass judgement on Rush this early into a story that reeks of liberal fingerprints.
