Are you really going to go down this road? Are you honestly going to try and convince people that Rush was a libertarian, anti-WOD commentator? Get real.

I can't cite the exact moment he's said it, but Larry Elder just quoted him saying just that.

(laughing) Go ahead. Tell me that Rush was in favor of ending the WOD. Tell me that Rush doesn't want crack addicts locked up. Tell me that Rush wants crystal meth addicts to be free to do their thing. This should be good...

Doncha think that if Rush had expressed a desire to end the WOD, that it MIGHT have generated a LITTLE ripple of interest from the millions of Drug Warriors that listen to his show?

I think it's awfully safe to say that Rush was in favor of the WOD, in favor of drug laws.

okay.

From Rush 1998:

"What is missing in the drug fight," he said, "is legalization. If we want to go after drugs with the same fervor and intensity with which we go after cigarettes, let's legalize drugs. Legalize the manufacture of drugs. License the Cali cartel. Make them taxpayers and then sue them. Sue them left and right and then get control of the price and generate tax revenue from it. Raise the price sky high and fund all sorts of other wonderful social programs."

???? You said Rush advocated the jailing of addicts. I asked when. A simple question.

Are you honestly going to try and convince people that Rush was a libertarian, anti-WOD commentator?

He was not a libertarian. Neither am I. I have very mixed feelings on WOD. Drug abuse is bad. It's something we want to discourage. I'm not sure what is the best way. I am sure that marketing incentive to encourage drug use must be discouraged.
