I've looked through this thread and seen the same hypocrites decrying the gov't intrusion into 'private' areas while simultaneously standing firmly behind the drug war and the Patriot Act. You don't get to have it both ways. These laws are on the books for a reason. Unless you don't want them applied to mobsters, drug cartels, and terrorists, don't protest when they are applied (correctly) to your hero. The hypocrisy and special pleading that a favored talk show host should be treated more leniently by the law than other people is disgusting.
If the drug and money laundering laws shouldn't apply to Rush, they shouldn't apply to anyone.
If the drug and money laundering laws shouldn't apply to Rush, they shouldn't apply to anyone. Why single out Rush? Wouldn't it make more sense to replace his name in that sentence with "whomever"?
But for the purpose of argument, tell us exactly where he broke such laws and got away with it, and I may agree with you.
