2. Unmitigated

Unmitigated hypocrisy. Go BIG or stay home, that's their motto.

3. Who cares what a poll says ~ He broke the law no politics there.

He admitted it on his radio show. How can he possibly say it's politics?

5. All high profile cases ..

The truth is that ANY high profile case forces prosecutors to "get tough".

Beyond this, Rush doesn't have any room to call foul. These prosecutors are doing EXACTLY as his dogma would have them do. I would say that Rush has been pushing these guys to send drug offenders up the river for years. They are merely complying with Rush's wishes.

[Taeger]

8. Also ...

Also, I'm sure that a LOT of prosecutors get sick of dealing with addicts instead of REAL criminals. They probably don't like these laws but they HAVE to enforce them.

Persecuting a right wing hero with his own venom is probably an excellent strategy to getting some of these laws cancelled. I could see the Flordia state legislature dropping some laws just to get Rush out of prison ;-)

24. florida laws

I think jeb will pardon him instead while the prosecuters are condemned and probably sent to gitmo.

6. Live by the sword, die by the sword.

Of course, buying illegal dope in parking lots is perfectly fine and that is not the core issue of his bust, politics are.

Are all of Rush's followers hooked on pretty pills as well?

7. We had something similar in Bakersfield, CA

The wife of a local official, now divorced I think, was addicted to pain killers. She was supposed to appear in court for about the same thing that Rush is accused of but on her way to court she stopped off at a doctor's office in Fresno to get more pain killers.

They sent her to jail for 30 days saying something like she wasn't ready for rehab yet which would take most of a year.

When I hear of her story I wonder what the wing-nuts here think of Rush.

10. The answer is....

He is a Reaganite....his motives are simply to carry the torch for a man that many Reaganites feel so much love for that they could almost cry when faced with the thought that they can live in a country and use it as if it's a rental real estate and device to further their own selfish interests.

Reaganomics is alive and well in the minds of W and his right wing supporters. Politics is the means to the ka-ching in their pocketbooks.

12. Done. 53.6% Yes; 46.4% No. Gaining.

[Zero Gravitas]

13. ummm

maybe it was the illegal drug use?

So the freeper morans think that of he wasn't a professional hypocrite and hate-monger he wouldn't be investigated for breaking the law?

I'm not a professional hypocrite and hate monger so I can break the law without fear of prosecution? Goody!

[Jacobin]

14. geeze i thought it was motivated by massive violations of law

:shrug:

[JohnLocke]

15. Apparently some don't think so!

:shrug: :shrug:

[Cat Atomic]

16. Uhh... it's motivated by criminal conduct.

I swear, Limbaugh fans are straight stupid.

[zonmoy]

25. nope

just like the religious right they are brain washed and waxed.

18. Ha! Politics!

Limbaugh and all the power player Cons are arrogant hypocrites.

Mouthpiece was giving new meaning to the term "smack talk." I wonder what kind of back surgery he had?

Face it: that unsavory holier-than-thou character had illegally obtained distribution quantities of narcotic painkiller pills. The average guy without much cash for legal defense would already be serving a long prison sentence for that. And based on his get tough on criminals speeches of the past, prison time would be the only thing that would shape him up, err, at least keep him from corrupting society's good people.

The ACLU helping protect addict Rush's medical records: After all the abuse this Con clown heaped on them, this gets my vote for the most ironic and strange bed fellows of the year.

Maybe Excellence in Broadcasting can do his show behind bars?

Even if he has to go down, at least * could pardon him and expunge his record...

[Wickerman]

19. A felony won't matter to him, though

he didn't bother voting until he started doing RW hate radio.

:kick:

[guitar man]

20. so what if it is?

Isn't this the guy that was the ringleader behind the hunting of Bill Clinton? Tell me THAT wasn't some seriously politically motivated prosecution.

Karma has come full circle to bite him square on his fat,boil-infested ass!

[Arbustosux]

21. now 76% yes

is this poll in Florida?? :)

[tom_paine]

23. No, the Freepers and their multi-vote programs got to it

You know, Standard Operating Procedure for the Busheviks.

100 people voting once = 1 Freeper voting a hundred times.

Sort of like onbe of the many methods they used to steal the 2000 and 2002 "elections".

[Bandit]

22. Wonder if they could do a poll asking ~ "Is Rush a Hypocrite?"

Even Freepers couldn't be stupid enough to say no could they?

[snippy]

26. Every widely publicized prosecution is motivated by politics.

This is because every prosecutor is either an elected politician or a political appointee. It does not matter whether the target of the prosecution is a heinous criminal or a celebrity or a well known liar, bigot and hate monger, if it is widely publicized the prosecution is motivated by politics.
