The guy went through life demonizing people with addictions. They should be locked up and the key thrown away he said. I don't see how people who have actually gone through addiction can defend him. He threw you under the bus!

It isn't his addiction, it's the way he has been treating people with addictions. A big to the both of you for beating your addiction. But if Rush had his way, your treatment would have been the big house.

Wanting the enforcement of existing drug laws now makes one a liberal?

Interesting flip flop.

I want Rush to receive the same punishment for drug abuse as everyone else. Do the Crime - do the Time.

Rush is a criminal... it's no difference than if he mugged someone and stole their money - it's a felony to use a controlled substance with out a prescription.

If he were a responsible person, he would have sought treatment from his doctor. He's not responsible, he choose to commit a crime - no one put a gun to his head.

He's a smart man and he knew better and he still choose to commit the crime. he's so rich he every opportunity to seek alternative legal  medical solutions to his problem.

He simple has no excuse for his actions.

He should save the American public money by confessing the truth about all that he did, and let his fate be given to the mercy of the court.

 I never broke the law with my addiction.  Can you show me where it's been proven beyond a resonable doubt that Rush broke the law to feed his addiction?  


 I didn't think so.....


 Yeah, you libs love the constitution :rolleyes:

Oh... let's see.. he confessed that he was addicted to pain medicines and going into rehab.

I'm sure there will be doubt by all the "right wing believers" that his holiness Saint Rush ever did anything illegal.

He wouldn't have to go into rehab if he were addicted to Tylonal or Aspirin.

My guess is that the stories about Oxycotin are true, and he went into rehab because.. he got caught... and this will mitigate his punishment when he is prosecuted for committing a felony.

Until then the "believers" and live in their world of delusion that's it's the liberals that are ruining the morality of America.

In my opinion it's the hipocrisy of the conservatives.

 Since when is it illegal to get addicted to pain drugs?  I got addicted to my xanax and I followed the prescription to the letter.  I didn't break any laws.  I haven't said Rush didn't either.  Other than a National Inquirer report I've heard nobody else accuse him of breaking the law.  Except you stupid libs.

 Just to set you straight,  all you libs are the ones holding the hypocritical stance on this 'issue'.  I can't speak for any of the conservatives  here, but my position on this has been consistant for many years :) and it's been consistant for people from both sides of the political isle.  You dudes hate republicans so much that you'd be willing to throw out the constitution to get rid of somebody how exposes the lies and hypocracy of YOUR elected officials and heros.

I don't think any one said getting addicted is illegal.

Nice try at symantics.

Using a controlled substance with out a prescription is illegal.

Buying Oxycottin with out a prescription is illegal.

Buying a controlled substance from an unlicensed distributor is illegal (like a house maid who sells it to you).

If Rush got addicted to Oxycottin because his doctor wasn't watching his medications or over dosing him... well Rush will have an excuse...

but Rush didn't say that.
Rush admits his addiction is his own fault....

From the horse's own prettythang he admits his addiction and the fault is his.

If he gets indicted for a felony, and if the allegations of his illegal activity are true, he should do the right thing, and not drag his case through litigation and cost the tax payers money to prosecute him.

If he is found guilty, by judge or jury... lock him up and throw away the key for the same amount of time as all the other drug users - fair and equal treatment under the law

 I have no idea.  Either legally through a prescription or illegally someway.  I wasn't there so I don't know.  I'm not part of the police investigatoin of the other 3 people, so I don't know.  I'm just not ready to convict the guy based on an article from the national freakin inquirer, or maybe gay vampires really do exist.

well, this is from a Fox news article

"The investigation apparently began as a probe into the illegal sale of prescription painkillers in South Florida that targeted dealers. But later investigators came across Limbaugh through clues gathered in a bust a Palm Beach County (search) in May, revealing him as a buyer."

So if he admitted taking them, he had to buy them, no?

 Ok let me rephrase that,  I'm not willing to convict the guy based on any story from any media outlet :)  If it turns out he broke the law, by all means hold him accountable.   You'll get no argument from me.  I also think he should be afforded any and every loophole that's available to anybody else.  You see a lot of times on the first offence the judge will let rehab be the 'punishment'  or count towards it or hand out a lesser sentence because of it.  So am I to gather that because you disagree with him you'd be willing to forget about all that stuff just to see him rot in jail?   For all we know he's turned in his dealer to cop a plea bargin.  For all we know he always had prescriptions and got his drugs legally.

 He said he got himself addicted, that doesn't mean he has to get them illegally.  He said he chose to treat the pain with meds instead of going through surgery again.  Nexus took that to mean that he automaticly broke the law, that's bull****.  Like I said,  I never broke any law getting myself addicted to xanax.  Should I go to jail?

1.)No, but I do think his punishment should be what he thinks it should be for someone else in his shoes.

2.) I hear that excuse from liberals all the time.

1. Well that doesn't matter when it comes to the law :)

2. I think it's more of a choice than an excuse.  We'll see how he is when he gets out.  12 step programs stress honesty.....
