Drugs and MORE DRUGS!! (http://www.fair.org/extra/0311/limbaugh-drugs.html)
These tough sentencing laws were instituted for a reason. The American people, including liberals, demanded them. Don't you remember the crack cocaine epidemic? Crack babies and out-of-control murder rates? Liberal judges giving the bad guys slaps on the wrist? Finally we got tough, and the crime rate has been falling ever since, so what's wrong?
--RushLimbaugh.com (8/18/03)
Crack cocain? isnt that like oxycotin?
So what is he? He gets involved in drugs and ends up, ladies and gentlemen, as a newly elected official in Washington, D.C.... So I'm sure Joe Fernandez is looking down there saying, "Hey, there's a future for, you know, drug users in Washington, D.C."
--Rush Limbaugh TV show (12/8/92)
LoL there must be something to a future on drugs...
When you strip it all away, Jerry Garcia destroyed his life on drugs. And yet he's being honored, like some godlike figure. Our priorities are out of whack, folks.
--Rush Limbaugh radio show (quoted in the L.A. Times, 8/20/95)
LoL OMG what a hypocryte!!!
What this says to me is that too many whites are getting away with drug use. Too many whites are getting away with drug sales. Too many whites are getting away with trafficking in this stuff. The answer to this disparity is not to start letting people out of jail because we're not putting others in jail who are breaking the law. The answer is to go out and find the ones who are getting away with it, convict them and send them up the river, too
--Rush Limbaugh TV show (10/5/95)
LoL he should pray that his judge was not indoctrinated by him.. How ironic for him to be saved by the kind he has condemned for so long...
Clearly all moral and honest men should receive political as well as day to day advice from such an outstanding, non-hypocrytical, unadulturated, pillar of our society......

I don't know if you noticed or not, but nobody on this board is a fan of Rush. You are preaching to the choir. He's so... 1992.

Funked's avatar doesn't do that guy justice.

who's the good looking guy? He looks "modern"
Maybe someday we will all look like this......when we evolve into aliens with huge brains.
This guy is the next human, we are just the old Cro- Magnon sub type.

he looks like the villian in the old 'tick' cartoons. can't remember the name though.

I can't argue with morons, sorry.

Kappa, you asked if I have ever listened to Rush's show.
Here's my deal with you: I will answer that question if you answer the same question.
Be careful how you answer, because I'm gonna come down on you like a ton of bricks either way just to demonstate how idiotic people can be.
Best not to answer at all IMO

lol Nuke... Your intellectual wit is too much!! Clearly you must understand myself being a home schooled inbred moroon is too much to comprehend such statments! And you are just the age of 39! Gawd help the world if this mastermind takes up w/ thoughts of conquest...
Truly weak!! Puss weak indeed! Its a simple question... You must have the mentality to either answer yes or no to my question... It cant be that daunting of a task...

This is getting good.. *grabs popcorn*

I never listened to his show, not once. Someone gave me one of his books. I read part of it and found that everything I read made sense. He became addicted to pain killers and abused them illegally. Does that make everything he said wrong?

GOOD.
I have also listened to his show. Now, based on the fact that both of us have heard his show, how does that make me a "huge" Rush supporter to the exclusion of yourself?
The basis of your argument that I am a "huge" Rush supporter was to mearly ask me if I had ever listened to his show. Now that we both know that I have listened to his show, does that fact advance your argument in any way?
Since you have listened to Rush's show, do you feel that ypu have supported him in any way?

Nuke stop being a moroon.. I just said I 'thought' you could be... Hence why i asked... Amazing how far you will take a yes or no answer...
and i have no augument.... was just a question....
-
I'll stop being a moroon, whatever that is.
Since I have answered yes to your question, how does that effect your thoughts that I am a "huge" Rush supporter?
( in other words, what made you think I was a "huge" Rush Supporter? )

LoL Nuke.. I thought I left the dots as to 'why'.......... More dots needed I suppose.. A wit like yours I thought would be quicker....
I suppose if I knew you were still loyal to such a fraud, I would know in the future where your 'personal thoughts' actually originated from.....

It makes you a card carrying ACLU liberal... since Rush is now a proven drug user and a hypocrit... just like all liberals...
Oh has any one linked in the Nazis yet?
May I be the first to say Rush is a Nazi... Hate-Bush rant Blah blah blah blah Nazi... Nazi... Nazi... Repulican-Nazis... blah blah blah
HEAD KNIGHT:
We are the Knights that say "Nazi"

Please point out my "response in another thread" that made you think I was a "huge" Rush supporter.
If you can't point it out, I will assume you are a total moron and/or liar.
p.s. I predict that I win. But winning an argument with you is no feather in the cap

NUKE wins!
Kappa can't post the evidense....what a surprise
-
hahaha.. this is hilarious..:rofl

I am a rush supporter and am not afraid to admit it. 80% of what he says makes sense to me. all the quotes in kappas post are VERY old with the exception of this one:
These tough sentencing laws were instituted for a reason. The American people, including liberals, demanded them. Don't you remember the crack cocaine epidemic? Crack babies and out-of-control murder rates? Liberal judges giving the bad guys slaps on the wrist? Finally we got tough, and the crime rate has been falling ever since, so what's wrong?
That still makes sense to me. Kappa are you a big fan of "crack babies"? Rush has changed his tune recently and if this was anything other than a blatent rush bash you could quote some of the things he's said since he left rehab. Thats all I have to say
-
Sway,it's never fun to argue with a moron but sometimes when the moron asks for it, it can not be avoided. :)

The fact is I never said you were a 'huge' supporter... I simply said I was led to believe that.. You know what I did next? I loving asked you if you were... You led us here... And still, unable to draw the real answer out of you.. I can only assume you to be a weak individual not sure of your own beliefs.. LoL your so caught up in tryin to have the upper hand, the entire conversation has passed by you.. I would wager much of my worth for the idea that your life is much the same.. lol even w/ your j Lennon quote... Who told you to use that?

No, what YOU did was say that something I posted led you to believe I was a "huge" Rush supporter. Now when asked what I posted that led you to believe that, you come up empty...like your brain seems to be.
Tell me what it was that I posted that made you "believe" I was a "huge" Rush supporter.
I'm not going to lie back while an idiot like you tries to put me into a corner.

kappa: Clearly all moral and honest men should receive political as well as day to day advice from such an outstanding, non-hypocrytical, unadulturated, pillar of our society......
As much as I dislike Rush, I have to disagree with you, kappa.
There is no hyppocricy in Rush's behavior. Some people are much more suceptible than others to addiction resulting from use of chemical substances. It's genetics.
It is very different for a person to voluntarily start using narcotics for recreational purposes and for a person to become addicted against his will due to medical use of pain-killers prescribed by his doctors.
It was not Rush's responcibility that he became addicted and his mind altered.

How can you agree with that Miko? Are we not all responsible for our thoughts, words, and actions? I could possibly see him non-hypocritical if he subjected himself to the same reproations as the average poor drug using white man the likes he spoke of with such contempt...

LoL Fear Nuke!! Fear!! Feel it!! I was not trying to back you in a corner... I was curious.. Thats all
How is that first paragraph different from what I said I did?
Still you wish to argue. Why does it matter where? Let me try this a different way... in more plain english perhaps...
You did not say you were a hugh supporter. You chimmed in on a post that was making fun of Rush.. You then called me an inbred home schooled moron i think it was.. I was lead to believe you were a Limbaugh supporter. Guess what I did then...
I ASKED YOU IF YOU WERE..............
now go away............

kappa: How can you agree with that Miko? Are we not all responsible for our thoughts, words, and actions?
Yes, we are - we are all responcible not to take a drug and risk getting addicted. But it was not his decision to take the drug and get addicted.
When he was speaking against drug use and against drug users he did not intend ever to take drugs for recreational purposes. He did not make a moral choice. His brain was damaged against his will just as surely as if it were damaged by a mechanical trauma or some degenerative desease.
And addict does not have free will in that respect any more than any other person with mental disorder can control his condition.
In fact, I strongly disagree with Rush whether drug should be illegal and whether drug users should be prosecuted. But as long as he believed in it, it was no hyppocricy - especially since he was not vocal on that subject since becoming addicted and hiding it.
Average poor drug using white man deserves all the contempt he can bear for taking the drug in the first place without expressed need for it other than to "get high".
There is a difference between murder and a manslaughter by accident. The same is with getting addicted.

An addict is a world away from someone with medical trauma or a degenerative desease... The difference is choice... The addict has a choice, the medical patient does not... Sure there are very addictive drugs legal and non-legal, but addiction is a choice.... If it were not, there would never be a recovering heroin or crack addict..
At some point he had to know and mentally understand he was becoming an addict even if it was by him going and having to find other doctors (illegally mind you) to write a prescription... Just becasue he got his drugs from a doctor, doesnt make it right or moral... I will get back to this Miko... Happy New Year btw my friend.. Hope all is well and goes well 8)

Liberals have always been afraid of limbaugh. Thats why I like limbaugh. The way he drives liberals out into the line of fire is like the way a heavy rain drives out worms from the lawn.
Take kappa for instance, obviously a liberal who went through some time and trouble to make a post showing how hypocritical limbaugh is. Like who gives a ***** about limbaugh being a hypocrit? Really? who gives a *****??
Whats amusing is the trouble kappa, and others like him, go through to slam a guy who makes a living talking into a $99 microphone. Thats the entertainment that limbaugh provides to me, and Im sure millions and millions and millions of other people, daily.
Preach on brother limbaugh, make it rain rain rain

no but at some point he made a decission to go from user to abuser. when he couldn't get by on his perscribed amount (or when he stoped getting perscriptions, whcihever is the case) did he go to the doctor and say he needed help? No, he just obtained them illegaly. well, up until he got caught, then it was "I'm sick, I have a problem, I need help"
addicts don't always have control, they make mistakes, but they have moments in time where they do have control, and choose to do nothing.
when he called to set up a deal for more, he could have just as easy called for treatment. maybe he couldn't stop himself when he was in the middle of a 'jones' but he had points in between where he could have taken steps to derail his adiction. he did nothing until he was caught. he's no different than any other junkie. only worse because he's a hypocrite.
And addict does not have free will in that respect any more than any other person with mental disorder can control his condition.

And some how... when the news came out he was buying his drugs illegally.... his mind altered again and be decide to take responsibility for his actions and seek rehab....

lol rain from his cell?? perhaps.. Yeager as if this post is any different than the dozens of clinton, gore, dean, hillory clinton bashers on this board.. you included.. Your 'entertainment' has become your truth.. at least I read your post that way...
should you choose to believe and respect a known hypocrite, well, you have that right.. It would be different had he never spoke on the subject of drugs... Hes no different than the crack addict on the street... Just his dealer had a Phd and his insurance helped support his habbit... Actually, hes worse... His choices were far more than the crack addict on the street...
-
They prove he did the crime, he should do the time. Cod knows that's a position he espoused often enough, isn't it?
Accountability/Responsibility.
Whew... I musta overdosed on Camomile Tea there. I realize he'll have the very best lawyers who'll make the very best excuses for him and before you know it, he'll be scouring the golf courses of the land with OJ who's still looking for his wife's murderer. Of course, Rush will be looking for the guy that spiked his water with those nasty "feel good" drugs.
-
If I didn't know we'd lose a lot more kids to drugs I'd be all for decriminalizng substance abuse.
If Rush was an honest man he'd plead guilty if charged and depend on the mercy of the court.

You been reading the holy bible again? You presume to know what my truth is? Dont even try hehe.....
should you choose to believe and respect a known hypocrite, well, you have that right..

Ok once more for single point clarity:
I like what limbaugh does for one reason and that reason is this: He pisses liberals off
Thats all kappa. Thats it. Nothing about believe and respect ok. Its about being entertained. Even this retarded thread is entertaining thanks to limbaugh pissing you off. See how it works :)

sad angry little man

Kappa - are you being paid to dig up dirt on people that dont effect you in the slightest?

kappa is not too bright, but I like him anyway.

kappa: An addict is a world away from someone with medical trauma or a degenerative desease... The difference is choice...
There is not enough difference to call it "a world away". The internal workings of the brain are damaged. It does not matter whether they are damaged on physical, chemical, physioligical or informational level. What seems easy to one person is impossible to another.
A guy once got his brain punctured with an iron rod. He survived and retained most of his faculties but from an agreable polite person he turned into a very rude one. It seems that a person should have no problem not being rude but we know it's not the case.
The addict has a choice, the medical patient does not...
The voluntary addict often has only one choice - whether to start. Maybe even to quit while he is not totally addicted. A medical patient with terrible neurological pains and assurances that most people do not get addicted to his medicine may find only in a few months that he became addicted.
Sure there are very addictive drugs legal and non-legal, but addiction is a choice.... If it were not, there would never be a recovering heroin or crack addict..
The most addictive drugs are not addictive equally to all people and the least addictive drugs like alcohol or tobacco are impossible to quit to some people. People differ a lot. Even change with age.
At some point he had to know and mentally understand he was becoming an addict even if it was by him going and having to find other doctors (illegally mind you) to write a prescription...
Sure. When he stopped taking the medicine after a few months. But once the withdrawal hits, it is so excruciatingly unbearable that the whole worldview changes drastically. For a person who is seriously wishing to die, the importance of abiding by some silly law or some previous statement suddenly diminishes compared to the other things. Besides, his act was a truly "victimles" crime - he was not robbing people to get money for drugs. He was not endangering others by operating machinery while fased out, etc.
Just becasue he got his drugs from a doctor, doesnt make it right or moral...
There is no moral component to an action where a person does not have a choice or his mind is altered.
I am all for putting dangerous drug addicts out of their misery - preferably by supplying them with all the drugs they need to OD themselves, but by other means if necessary. But I draw the line on punishing people who do not pose any danger just pur discourage des autres. That is very wrong and immoral.
Happy New Year to you too!
capt. apathy: no but at some point he made a decission to go from user to abuser.
Apparenty he never took more than just to feel well. He was never noticed to be giddy, "high", etc.
...did he go to the doctor and say he needed help? No, he just obtained them illegaly.
That's why they are called "mind altering drugs". You, guys are incredibly lucky you have no idea what it is. People waste and die or even watch their families suffer and die under the influence of addiction and cannot do anything about it. The first thing the addiction takes is will.
You may use whatever expletives you want and stomp on those who are down but it is a known medical fact how the addiction changes personality, whether voluntarily or not.
Nakhui: when the news came out he was buying his drugs illegally.... his mind altered again and be decide to take responsibility for his actions and seek rehab. Or is that the guilt drug taking effect?
Obviously I cannot know what was happening in his head but it is a common with such people - they would not be able to stop or ask for help, but once faced with changing their behavior by an outside conditions, they are glad they were found out.
It's a matter of will and an outside will or necessity is a good support for the lack of one's own will.
I did not have much experience with narcotics but I've saw quite a few people who's mind was altered by incredible deprivvation, stress and lack of sleep. I was like that myself.
People do things they would never theough they were cabable of - including incredibly evil theings. They would not stop on their own. Then the conditins change, they get limited in their actions and if they do not get in trouble right away, their mind returns back to normal. They can remember what they did but not able to imagine what they felt.
Some though get addicted to violence and cruelty just like other get addicted to drugs.
Saurdaukar: Kappa - are you being paid to dig up dirt on people that dont effect you in the slightest?
Whatever I think of his statements and methods, the man is certainly a great talent and has a lot of influence. Which he uses to propagate socialism and big totalitarian government while pretending to oppose liberals who support the same ideals.
Saying that Rush does not affect kappa in the slightest is like saying to a russian in 1905 that Plechanov and Martov did not affect him in the slightest. Sure, those were just popular harmless theoreticians and publicists. But they affected the opinion of many people in certain ways and lo and behold - Lenin came to power in 1917 and then Stalin.

Rush may rally like minded people when he states obvious truths. Truths that some would very much like to repress. To say he influences people may be going a bit too far Miko.

That's the first I've heard that. Can you back that up with a reputable source? Or did that come from http://www.ihategeorgebushandtheblackhelicoptersarecoming.com ?

Limbaugh may be a hypocrit and a dopehead but he is no liberal
so there is still hope for his soul.

It's all Rush's fault anyway. After all, nobody agrees with anything Rush says...... that's why his radio show struggles to remain on the air.
Rush is out of touch with America, that's why his show is so unpopular.
Rush tells me how to think and who to hate, that's all I need because I'm a moron that doesn't agree with the stinking, filthy negative Liberals of the world.

Cripes, since when did "homeschooled" become an insult. Home schooled kids generally recieve a better education and score higher on standardised tests.
It's tough to beat a 1:1 student/teacher ratio.
-
Home schooled is not an insult, but the quality really depends on who is home schooling you doesn't it?
-
actually in oregon home-schooled kids have to take anual tests and show signifigant progress or their teacher isn't qualified to continue teaching.
thats a much higher standard than we hold the public schools teacher.
-
"thats a much higher standard than we hold the public schools teacher."
Hmmm, sounds like someone is looking for a way to get rid of home-schooling.
No wait, I sure that would never happen. :)
-
well I can't say they are against it.
I can tell you that when we tried to transfer our daughter into a better middle school, than the niegborhood one (our son went there for a year and there was no way another of my kids where going to go) the district told us it was impossable, that the forms wheren't in the propper offices in time (we did our part on time but the school she was transfering from dropped the ball). they said there was nothing more to be done and we would just have to 'give the neigborhood school another chance'.
after some stuff that wouldn't make it past the language filter, I said "screw-it, if thats the only option we have I guess my wife will just have to homeschool the kids"
in 15 minutes I had a call back saying they'd worked it out and she could go to any school in the district we chose.
probably just a coincidence.

Capt, question.
If you home-school your kids in oregon. Does that get you out of paying school tax?
If not, it would seem to be a win/win situation for the school board. They get your cash, you get zip.
-
no you don't get the tax back. however I believe federal funds are based on how atendance.
also, schools are rated on the scores of the kids. so far all of my kids are scoring at least 2-4 grades above the averages, and the girls are usually making straight A's. (mostly do to teaching at home, all three could read and do multiplication before they went to school)
thats the main reason the niegborhood school sat on the application for transfer. it was getting a failing grade and needed kids with higher scores to help them out. when it became clear that we wheren't going to sacrifice our kid for their scores, they decided they could find a place for her anywhere so at least one of their schools could get the benifit of higher scores.
they say they are looking out for the kids, but they where willing to sacrifice an outstanding student for the sake of protecting the jobs of the teachers that can't seem to educate the kids.
btw- a note on the school's grades, as I understand it, if the school doesn't bring it's scores up to an exceptable level within a specified time all teachers and admin lose their jobs. they have the option to re-apply to other schools in the district but are not guarenteed a job. so far the system hasn't been in effect long enough for any schools to go through this yet. I suspect our niegborhood HS will be the first though. it has the highest drop-out rate I know of, the senior class is about 25% of the size of the freshman class.

Essentially you're saying is popularity makes one right... and makes one the people's poet?
That's what Rush is?
Rush is articulating what's on every middle class white guy's mind..
You know... the Nazis were popular at one time too - for the very same reasons... blaime the jews for everything... well.. they were popular until they lost the war.
LOL - I just had to bring in the nazis association in!
No thread is complete until they are! :aok
