Drug money supports terror.

If you buy drugs, you might too.

According to the Office of National Drug Control Policy, Rush supports terrorism! Why does Rush hate America?

1. (1) I never agreed with the message of the so called anti-drug campaign

(2)I do agree with the proposed new rules concerning misleading headlines.

3. You've never heard of irony?

2. This is crap

There is no more of a link of drugs to terrorism than any other industry. The oil industry is much more strongly linked to terrorism. Drugs are linked to domestic crime because they are illegal.

4. You've never heard of satire?

5. It's satire.

I tried to find a few quotes where Rush discusses/agrees with the campaign, but I couldn't find it quickly. I work overseas and receive American Forces Network (AFN) broadcasts and they show public service announcements instead of commercials. I've seen this ad a 100 times, so it was a natural connection.

13. On the one hand it's satire and good

On the other hand drugs such as cocaine and the heroin trade in Afghanistan and elsewhere do indeed funnel money into the small arms trade which fuels the wars of other nations to poor to do it with the kind of heavy equipment and high tech that we spend hundreds of billions of dollars on.

Please check the facts on that. Not all claims of drugs sponsoring terrorism are valid and it is sensational but unfortunately, there is a kernel of truth to it.

That is why if drugs were legalized, there would be less of an opportunity for this to occur. The money would not flow through the black market so easily.

6. I love the premise underlying those ads...

Let's see, the government made drugs illegal. This criminalization caused cartels to spring up instead of regular businesses. By forcing citizens to buy drugs from cartels rather than responsible businesses, some money goes to unsavory activities. It's all the fault of the citizens who buy drugs, not the government that set the stage for the cartels to spring up in the first place!

The ONDCP is one of the worst expenditures of public funds in the entire government.

7. I don't think they meant PFIZER supports terrorism..

the major pharm companies aren't what the ads were talking about

8. Perhaps not, but you have to wonder..............

How does someone get their hands on 4500 doses of Oxy-Contin? This is supposed to be an extremely controlled drug. I understand Heroin and Coke is uncontrolled, but how does the market for Oxy-Contin exist?

This is quite interesting and a story unto itself, I think.
