"We conservatives are all saddened by the news that Rush Limbaugh is being investigated"

This is factually incorrect, and puts a spin on the story. Rush Limbaugh is not the target of the investigation. The tone of expressing "sadness" over the investigation implies guilt. It is a "statement of fact" accompanied by an implication of guilt.

Personally, I'm not saddened by the fact that Rush is involved in a Police investigation, because I know that Rush will be cleared in the course of the investigation. This is the Dimocrat mentality that surfaced during the investigation of Clarence Thomas based soley on "the seriousness of the charges" made by Anita Hill. The accusations agains Rush have to be true due to the seriousness of the charges right, RAT-boy?

While I can understand how you're interpreting those words, with all due respect, that's a very nuanced and cynical interpretation, and probably not an interpretation that many people share. It's hardly a good basis for making charges like you did against the author.

Hey D, I do hope you were listening to Rush today. I hope you're big enough to admit you were wrong.

No one here wished the allegations of Rush's drug dependency were true, but some of us were objective enough, not blindly loyal to Rush, to see there there was likely some veracity to the story, whether it came from the National Enquirer or not.
