Would you feel bad when people curse you and tell you to go to Nambla website?
The difference is I didn't cry and run to mommy like them.
I am late to this thread, but read through it. I can understand being disappointed in Rush, I was too. However, I don't see any good coming from making him out to be some horrible hypocrit.
Rush had a problem, a failure, if you will, he did not handle his problem admirably. But, having said that, he also took responsibility for it, went to rehab, and even said that his perspective changed after being in treatment. He also said that at the time he made the statements about drug dealers, etc, he meant it. It was not during the time that he himself had a problem. Things change in peoples lives. That does not make them hypocrits.
I would hope that we could give Rush the room to be human and make mistakes. It isn't about worship or idolizing him. It's about being grateful that he is well now and is still an unwavering voice for the conservative movement.
Let he who is without sin, cast the first stone.
