Limbaugh Is Admitting His Addiction to Painkillers!!!

[CO Liberal]

On the air, right now!!!!

[CO Liberal]

1. Admitted He Was in Detox Twice!!

[CO Liberal]

2. Going Back Into Detox After Today's Show

[Mikimouse]

10. Yeah, and he'll probably be

a thirteenth stepping bastard when he comes back out! I usually have some empathy with my fellows, but this one has shown nothing to redeem him. OK, I know I have no business taking his inventory. Perhaps the rest of us here who have some expeience with recovery should design a special aftercare group just for him? Any takers? We could call it The Fairness Doctrine Group.

[LuminousX]

62. You jest, but

I'm willing to give everyone another chance. At this point, much to the chagrine of the Freepers who want to see us mess ourselves in glee over Rush's fate, truly want to see him recover - truly recover. His hate has to stem from something deep and psychological. He is numbing himself to the world, so obviusly he can't empathize with the pain his hate causes. Maybe that will change. That is my prayer for Rush.

[leesa]

68. Yup, but he's been through detox twice and he came out as rotten as ever

Don't hold your breathe for this creature.

[madmax]

73. Well said,

Compassion from those who he's vilified and hated may give him a new perspective. In rehab he may also acknowledge that how he uses his power is destructive and wrong.

[Oberst Klink]

100. I said a prayer for him

Like him or not, he is the most sucessful broadcaster. Ever.

Like Darth Vader, he will be back and probably be more powerful than ever. I think his sucess made him feel invincable.

Getting knocked down a few will actually make him stronger.

[Individualist]

111. Illegal drug use supports terrorism

Throw him in prison for treason!!

[Tom Yossarian Joad]

126. Oberst, the type A++++++++ personality Rush has does not lend itself

to recovering from an addiction. If he does "get it." His format and outlook will probably change quite a bit.

A person who already "knows it all" has to change drastically or there's little hope for recovery.

Personally I despise the guy, but I do hope that the Oxy doesn't kick his ass. Let him come back better and then we'll do it heads up.

[janx]

143. You're right, Billy. If he does kick it, he won't be the same.

And I don't like him either, but I wouldn't wish addiction on anyone.

[Mikimouse]

141. It is possible

I have known some pretty hateful, arrogant types that changed their playmates, playgrounds and playthings 'successfuly' (could be me?). I have admittedly prayed for people like Rush many times, just to be able to put them from my thoughts and hand them over to a power greater than myself. It is a guarantee that if he really 'gets it', as he needs to do, he will never be the same as he has been in the past. I am not sure if I can envision Limbaugh hanging on to the 'pink cloud' for all he's worth; it is a mind boggling image. I agree whole heartedly with you on the issue of his background. There must be something there that helped create the 'hole in the heart' that required him to self-medicate. If he really works his program, then he will deal with his past hatred, and it will not be easy for him. I used to pray for my Dad in much the same way (still do), for him to experience even one minute of the serenity of sobriety, and through that to show him that there is a life that does not revolve around fear, self-loathing, and hatred. He still lives, so it is never too late.

[CO Liberal]

3. Said It All Started With a Back Injury

And unsuccessful back surgery.

[Bandit]

53. Was that back surgery removal of his Anal Cyst?

I guess if that were the case there wouldn't be much left of him.

[Kamika]

4. lol

I wonder how hell blame clinton for this !!

anyone have any transcript?

[CO Liberal]

6. I'm Sure It Will Be On His Web Site Later

n/t

[eleny]

5. Recently took the advice of a doctor and...

his attorney, no doubt. Sorry, but I hope he goes from treatment right into jail. He's nothing but an S.O.B. who has divided this country on a daily basis with his every fetid breath. I have no pity or caring thoughts for him.

This was nothing but a self serving blow hard at his worst, imo, and I needed to get it off my chest. Guess I'm not a total bleeding heart liberal. I have my liimits.

[rocktivity]

90. 30 days of rehab means 30 days of avoiding being questioned

I understand that the authorities in Flordia are real anxious to talk to him. Dumb luck that he was Philadelphia picking up an award when the story broke!


rocknation

[Junkdrawer]

101. I think Rush is trying to name his own punishment...

30 day rehabs are a joke. A judge would demand at least 90 days and would probably want six months of AA or NA attendance slips.

Rehab is supposed to be the entry into a life of honesty. This, and his use of "program speak" to bolster his "liberals can't face the truth" hate speak today, make for an ominous start.

[RandomKoolzip]

7. Now his supporters will make Clinton comparisons......

"See? If Clinton woulda just admitted his infidelity like Rush admitted his addiction, then we would have admired him woof woof blah blah...."

Rush, go to Detox, stay there, and leave humanity alone. You have done enough damage. This is a sign from God to GIVE IT UP.

[soleft]

8. Arnold has shown him the benefits of confession

:eyes:

[LuminousX]

9. Remember all those Freepers

who kept saying Rush sounded lucid and there was no way he could be addicted...?

LMAO!!!!

[Evil_Dewers]

12. RUSH HAS BEEN HIGH THE LAST TWO WEEKS

AND GOD KNOWS HOW LONG BEFORE THAT.

[LittleApple81]

14. Would a black man using the same excuse get the same

treatment as Rush?

[slackmaster]

34. If his name was Walter Williams or Colin Powell, probably

[leesa]

75. Really! How would a Freeper recognise lucidity?

[Junkdrawer]

11. 30 days is a bare minimum treatment....

The odds on a 30 day treatment working is very small....

I think he is trying to prempt Florida.

[59millionmorons]

13. Great

Now when will he admit he's a scumbag racist liar?

[CO Liberal]

19. If He Goes Into a 12-Step Program

Because part of the program is admitting your faults, and how you've harmed others.

And then seek out those you have harmed and ask their forgiveness.

[59millionmorons]

22. Really

So the Clintons should be waiting by the phone?

[Fatima]

35. He's been through rehab before

and if he's incapable of brutal honesty this latest trip will be just as unsuccessful. And I don't think the man has an honest bone in his body.

[Junkdrawer]

39. 1st rehab --- 2 detoxes....

Detox is medical, Rehab is psych/spiritual.

[Fatima]

60. Thanks

I'd heard the former about him elsewhere- thanx for the info. I do, however, know the difference.

[morgan2]

15. msnbc gonna play the tape of his confession

[Must_B_Free]

16. How do the Freepers feel, now that they can no longer deny

that they have been led by a blathering numbskull drug head, propping himself up on hillbilly heroine?

[LuminousX]

Hey, he asked for their prayers

so of course they do as their dark lord bids.

Rush gets a free pass, even though he denied it.

On the record, Rush doesn't deserve to go to jail. Addiction is a disease. Can we get the Right Wing to now admit that and instead of filling out jails with pot smokers (Tommy Chong?) focus on treatment, decriminalization, and eductation?

Rush will be going to Rich White Man's Rehab where they smoke cigars and drink cognac. I want to see him in the 'just released from prison' rehab.

[dsc]

138. They don't drink congac in rehab

trust me on that one.

[Drifter]

45. Are you kidding me ...

He will be worshipped for his honesty for overcoming this dreaded "liberal" affliction.

They still won't believe (or realize) that he has been out of his mind for the past few years.

I hope some of his ditto heads wake up and realize they have been idolizing a complete FRAUD.

Cheers
Drifter

[Frodo]

17. Maybe that's what he means by "half his brain tied behind his back"???

Now what about detox for all those freepers who can't go thirty days without Rush?

And what will they do when it's "out in 8-10 on good behavior"?

[TeeYiYi]

31. Oh Frodo. THAT was funny! *lol* :-) . . .

How about the 'talent on loan from god' thingy? If OxyContin is a loan from god, I think he'll end up paying a pretty high interest rate . . .

TYY

[Postman]

18. He takes full responsiblity for problem......after he got busted, that is.

LIMBAUGH: 'I AM ADDICTED TO PRESCRIPTION PAIN MEDICATION'... 'WILL ENTER 30-DAY TREATMENT CENTER'... 'I TAKE FULL RESPONSIBILITY FOR MY PROBLEM'... 'I WANT TO ASK FOR YOUR PRAYERS'...

[Bandit]

65. 'I AM ADDICTED TO PRESCRIPTION PAIN MEDICATION'

LIAR He is addicted to illicit black market drugs where the monies go to support terrorism. At least that is what he has been saying about illicit drugs, which in my opinion is another of his multitude of lies. He just can't open his mouth without lying.

[slaveplanet]

107. truth

that is exactly came to my mind when I first heard it.

[tishaLA]

20. I am an evil evil woman

I just keep thinking of him as a disaffected housewife in one of those early 80s movies of the week about valium. I can see him with curlers and a housecoat, I swear!

But still one of his fab-oooooo ties.

[nostamj]

21. new tagline:

'Talent' purchased in a Wendy's parking lot.

[corarose]

23. Why didn't the PIECE OF SHIT go to the Doctor for his pills?

The jerk should have told the Doctor that the boils on his ass were back and he was in pain.
He could have been put on pain killers and he would have gotten his drugs the legal way.

[TeeYiYi]

42. Good idea, but . . .

No doctor is going to be able to prescribe the quantities that he was obviously going through without losing their license. And if he tried to get scripts from more than one doctor, again . . . DEA comes knocking. Rush is obviously an addict and has been for a long time. That's where the hypocracy of his contempt for drug addicts comes in. It's hard to know how to feel about Jeff Christie's little problem.

TYY

[NoKingGeorge]

71. Quantity of drugs means a traficking charge. Yes ?

Are there mandatory sentncing guidelines involved here? How about having drugs in his travels,isn't that interstate stuff?
Will the housekeeper still get her 'get out free card' if there are no charges? How about priors as Jeff Christie? Will the court take into consideration TWO failed detox trips ??

[TeeYiYi]

81. Bandit makes a good point in post #65 . . .

Rush still doesn't get it. And he's lying when he says that he's addicted to prescription pain medication. He's addicted to illicit black market drugs but he's spinning it to make it sound like he got those drugs from his doctor. I have no doubt that he's not fooling anyone but himself and the freepers. I'll guarantee you that the DEA is all over this and I doubt there is a doctor out there that will want to fall on his sword for Rush. Not for those quantities. It doesn't take more than a handful of OxyContin to get the trafficking charge and he had over 4000 . . .

TYY

[corarose]

84. I have RSD and my Doctor refused to give me Oxicotton(?)

He said that it was addictive.

I went to the pain clinic at the University Of Chicago Hospital and they put me on Methadone for pain. I didn't know what it was and when I found out that it was a form of Heroine I died of embarrassment and I told the Doctor to change my meds.

I am so happy that the "Junkie" was caught. He doesn't think of himself as being a junkie he thinks that the pills are PRESCRIPTION Medicine not drugs.

[arcane1]

because the "pain" was nonsense!

excuses excuses

we can't take Rush's word for anything as it is, we certainly can't take his word on THIS!

[DemocratSinceBirth]

24. I Feel Sorry For Him...

Tell me I'm crazy.....


Here's my take....


I wish him no ill.... I just want to see his credibility diminished and to see him banished from the public square....

[Must_B_Free]

26. You're crazy

this ass would crap all over anyone else who said the same thing.

This guy is a menace to society and should be banned from any further pollution of peoples minds - look at the damage he has already done to this nation.

[oasis]

44. Yup, Rush would be just like that cop Jovere(sp) in Les Miserable

cut him some slack and he'll cut your throat in return.

[LittleApple81]

28. That won't happen unless the press tackle him for the horrible

person he is. And that ain't happening. This will be like all the preachers that find salvation after committing the same crimes and sins they have raged against to get money from their followers.

[charlie]

30. Okay, you're crazy

:)

He ain't going to jail, and I don't want to see him skate without feeling some measure of the pain he's caused for others. Grrrr....

[Clark Can WIN]

58. DSB, I love ya but

Your crazy. this is a person who has served only to spread hate and division for his own personal profit for far too long. I hope he is ruined and disgraced.

As for his health...... he's earned it. This is God or Karma or fate or whatever you want to call it coming to get him in a black robe with a scythe and it couldn't have happened to a nicer person. Who is to say that some better, more deserving soul who would have made the world a better place didn't take his bullet in Vietnam while he was giggling at home on his boily ass? He deserves the worst he gets and more of the same.

[fob]

25. Someone has to have taped this. Send it to Bartcop ASAP!!

nt

[CO Liberal]

32. They Must Have Taped It

They just played part of his confession back on the CBS Radio newscast at the top of the hour.

[Fatima]

38. You can bet Symbolman and Stranger have taped it

for a great TBTM radio segment this weekend!

[rocktivity]

27. Too little, too late Rush

You should have said that the day the pill story broke. Now instead of generating sympathy, it just looks like you're either still hiding out from Florida authorities or that you've "resigned" again. At any rate, you used up all my sympathy for you when you lied about the cause of your hearing loss.


rocknation

P.S. Randi Rhodes--this is your chance to get a Clear Channel Syndication deal!

[Darth_Kitten]

29. He should learn to take "personal responsibility"

[beyurslf]

37. Doesn't Rush

say it is we bleeding hearts who want "treatment" and "detox" for the evil drug abusers in our society?

He should show us what a true compassionate conservative would do and turn himself into the prison authorities now. Save us the excuses....drug abuse is for the weak and they must be punished to the fullest extent of the law. Attorney General Aschroft, please ensure that the liberal attorneys don't go easy on him. Mandatory sentences. Long, severe punishments. A decade in prison should "cure" that addiction--after all it isn't a "disease." That will teach 'em.

(Sarcasm intended.)

[Fatima]

33. And the whole time, insulting other drug addicts left and right

on his cruel show...and he has the gall to ask for "prayers."

Here's my prayer: that he lose his fucking job, like the miserable trash that he is...that he endure the same misery he wished on others...that he sink into obscurity and become a household joke...that we never see or hear from this hateful, nasty man again.

That's my prayer.

[Hubert Flottz]

41. Nice prayer!

Mine was not so nice!

[LuminousX]

50. My Prayer

I pray the Rush sees the light, sees that all the hate he spews is turning this country into a cesspool. If he truly seeks rehabilitation, I hope he also addresses that hole in his soul. He is able to use the words of a Christian but he can't walk the walk of a Christian. Hopefully, that will be rectified.

on edit: fixed spelling

[Timefortruth]

57. Thank you.

This is also a self serving prayer for all of us. If Rush does try to make his wrongs right every American could benefit.

[dwckabal]

76. if I believed prayer worked

mine would be just like yours. Instead I'll skip the deity and just wish all that on him!

[Evil_Dewers]

36. Freeper SpinMeister

To: clintonh8r

I hope that rush spends his time on the demoRAT shirt sleeve rolling contest. I dont wanna hear about his personal problem (not that I dont care). But it is a personal problem (if its a problem at all) and he should not have to deal with it in the harsh light of the media.

It's tough enough if he is dealing with a genuine addiction to a prescription pharmacuticle without having to deal with the demoRATs and their incessant Whining!

49. More Freep Denial...

Obviously you do not know Rush and misunderstood the show.

Let me slow it down for you.

The charges are false and have no basis or truth.

Please keep your chin up and don't believe everything you hear.

Remember, you are not a mindless ball of mush. Act accordingly!

55. Major Denial

Wow.

[Must_B_Free]

87. yeah, taking orders from General Insanity

.

[Blue-Jay]

104. I love this one!

from FR:

"That is great to hear! Rush Limbaugh is a hero to me...and to the Conservative movement. I don't know what will be more enjoyable...hearing that the charges were untrue, Rush kicking the Enquirer's sorry @$$ all over the Sunshine State, watching his critics eat their words, or personally calling them up (Howard Stern, for example) and giving them Holy Hell!!! Give the Maha Rushie my regards!!! HUBBA HUBBA HUBBA!!! DOOBA DOOBA DOOBA!!!"

DOOBA DOOBA indeed.

[Fatima]

54. They never stop, do they? Never!

If this were Bernie Ward or Mike Malloy admitting to drug addiction, the freeps would be all over them like blowflies on a corpse...

...but when it's their lord and master, it's not a "problem at all."

Freepers, get a goddamned clue...your lord and master spewed hate and venom for YEARS towards OTHER people in the SAME BOAT, so now that he's been found out, isn't it natural for people to express outrage? Or is that only YOUR right?

[Must_B_Free]

59. Ah HA HA hA!!

"But it is a personal problem (if its a problem at all) and he should not have to deal with it in the harsh light of the media. "

Wah Wah WAHHHHHH

"It's tough enough if he is dealing with a genuine addiction to a prescription pharmacuticle without having to deal with the demoRATs and their incessant Whining!"

Spoken like a true whiner.

I hope they feel like the dumb duped fools they are.

[slaveplanet]

66. I've seen the Needle

I caught you knockin'
at my cellar door
I love you, baby,
can I have some more
Ooh, ooh, the damage done.

I hit the city and
I lost my band
I watched the needle
take another man
Gone, gone, the damage done.

I sing the song
because I love the man
I know that some
of you don't understand
Milk-blood
to keep from running out.

I've seen the needle
and the damage done
A little part of it in everyone
But every junkie's
like a settin' sun.

[catzies]

145. So funny I read it twice: "pharmacuticle!"

LOLOLOLOLolololololol.......

*wipes away tears*

[bushisanidiot]

40. So He's Admitting He's Been LYING To His Braindead Followers??

The ditto head sheep will follow him right off the cliff and believe every damned excuse he comes up with. He's probably asking for "prayers" from his followers as if he's some fallen saint.

what a loser.

I wonder if they'll still follow him when they find out he's gay. :)

[TeeYiYi]

56. I wonder how many of Rush's sheep will . ..

. . . go out and try OxyContin now. (Assuming that they haven't already.) Freepers will want to try Rush's purple kool-aid.

TYY

[bushisanidiot]

70. They Absolutely Will Try It. Boil Ass Is Probably Selling it them through

his website.

Drug dealing fat chickenhawk puke.

[CO Liberal]

106. The Pills Probably Have the "EIB" Logo On Them

78. The Pied Piper

Has been leading the rats to poison river for years, he is responsible for much of the twisted mindset going on in this country.....And today he comes out with it...he obtained mass quantities of a synthetic Heroin derivitive ILLEGALLY, at the street level.....no this is no ordinary junkie....look at the damage he's done

should I be posting "sympathy for the devil" next.....

[leesa]

83. Maybe he's a prescription gay

They seem to be ignoring the fact that these drugs REQUIRE prescriptions but their hero was not getting prescriptions for them. What a bunch of losers!

[hexola]

43. OXYMORON

[slackmaster]

46. Rich junkies get sympathy. Poor junkies go to prison.

Very sad commentary on our values.

[Timefortruth]

51. No doubt about it.

It is a sorry statement that everyone doesn't get treatment.

[slackmaster]

64. Amen!

I have a friend who is in prison because of his addiction to narcotics. Because he couldn't get treatment when he needed it and couldn't get enough prescription meds to cover his withdrawal symptoms he turned to robbery.

I'm not excusing what he did, in fact I feel he has some serious character flaws (and everyone who knows him agrees) but when he's not on dope he's quite OK. Honest, a devoted father, a talented musician. But there is no free treatment available, and he never had any insurance that would cover proper detox and recovery.

[maxanne]

80. it is indeed

thank you for pointing that out, Timefortruth.

As a recovering alcoholic/addict I have compassion for his disease. If he gets into a 12 step program, and works on true recovery, it will change his whole life. He won't be able to be the same person he is right now. It is impossible not to change for the better, in recovery.

Addiction is a terrible disease, and a terrible death. I don't wish that on Rush, as evil as he is. I hate to see us spewing freeperlike comments here, about a sick person. I know very well that he would fail to show us the same compassion - but aren't we supposed to be the good guys?

[Timefortruth]

47. An Alternative View

It is no accident that he mentioned us twice this week. He did get something from us. It is hard to say what, but maybe he saw himself in all the posts here about addiction.

Remember why many turn to drugs. He hates what he does and who he pretends to be, it is literally killing him to spew hate every day all day. Who knows if he will learn that the reason he numbs himself because he knows he is complicit in the decline of America, but maybe he will. True recovery will mean that he must confront his demons and his lies are his demons.

Remember there have been a few with a conscience who eventually came clean. Atwater and Brock.

[LuminousX]

52. I think you are right

at least partially.

You can't spew hatred all day without it having a deep rooted psychological effect.

I do hope this process allows him to fix the hole in his soul.

[charlie]

61. Atwater was facing certain death

and feared getting tossed into the lake of fire. Brock was a gay man amongst gay-haters. Rush has nothing to compel self-examination, no prison time, no threat of penury, nothing.

I don't buy for a minute that self-loathing made him a junkie. He's just a cruel, small man with compulsive and massive appetites.

[Timefortruth]

72. At the levels Rush was using he wasn’t

long for this world either. But you are right that it isn’t the same. Either way it is not accidental that he mentioned us so often this week when he had so many other things to attend to, legal problems, medical problems etc. He found something here that struck a cord about his addiction and it scared him. I know that the chance that he will come clean and start speaking the truth is EXTREMELY remote, but if he is sincere in his recovery he will have to start with the truth.

[charlie]

85. Yes, he found something

A website stuffed to the gills with the liberals he despises. We were giggling over his predicament, so he sicced his dittoheads on us. He was pissed and having a week from hell, ragging DU and trying to buckle our server gave him a few moments of happy satisfaction. He didn't face any truths about his addicton, he's just venal.

[nannygoat]

63. Somebody posted on another thread

that his drug abUSE is probably the only way he can sleep at night. Thanks, drug RUSH, for helping to ruin our great country...

[Must_B_Free]

69. You are absolutely right

the lies of his ideology and hate speech are tied into the escape of drug addiction.

He will never be a hate monger again and be off drugs. To cure himself he is going to have to learn to love and forgive. He's going to have to grow as a person.

I won;t be surprised if he turns on the right and undoes them. He'll ten be able to cash in on the swing of the pendulum.

[charlie]

48. Fatboy's statement here

Bill Clinton was elected twice (the max) and served two full terms.

This country has turned around 180 degrees headed towards the year 1861.

[slaveplanet]

94. stupid freeper

didn't even get it right .....It's Canada and rush's maid....and it was meant as a joke.....something Rush is intimately familiar with

[slackmaster]

77. KOBE BRYANT - RUSH LIMBAUGH - ARNOLD SCHWARZENEGGER

Does anyone else see the pattern?

What's happening in Iraq today? Without even looking I know it's got to be pretty bad.

[eleny]

95. Arnold is not a distraction

he's a key component to the Repubs making California a red state. And Rush is not any less important as he's the R's most creative evangelist.

We'll get back to Iraq, for sure. And I want to. But Rush and Arnold are major stories for this past week. As for Kobe, I'm with you. I never watch Kobe stories even though I live in Colorado. So, there is some personal choice, here <w>.

[Evil_Dewers]

82. Rush will be a double three time loser

marriage on the fritz...

this will be his third failure at rehab...

[charlie]

88. Third marriage, too

if Marta dumps him.

[eleny]

86. Oh God! Buchanan is making distinctions...

between becoming addicted to illegal drugs and becoming addicted to drugs from a health problem. This was Pat's answer to the question about Rush having to face legal consequences.

So, it's the same as Arnold's groping being "old news" or GW's substance abuse. There's always a way to sweep wingnut crap under the rug.

[SiobhanClancy]

117. I have had disc surgery

it did little good,and I am in pain quite a bit. I was always concerned about getting pain medication outside of medical channels,but now that I know it's OK I don't know what I've been holding back for.
I should expect to suffer little or no legal consequences,and it may even make me a "great American":)

[Devils Advocate NZ]

151. And yet I bet he is against medical marijuana!

I bet he cheared when that man who was licensed by California to grow medical marijuana was arrested by the Ashcroft hoods.

Of course someone taking marijuana for CURRENT pain is a criminal, while someone taking drugs because of PAST pain is not. Gotta love that ol' right wing hypocrisy!

[angka]

89. something's about to happen

investigation-wise. this was a pre-emptive strike.

salving your fascisti conscience with pills only works for awhile...

[Kusala]

91. DRUG USE SUPPORT TERRORISM

You're either with us or against us, Rush!

96. I had the same thought (see my post below).

Let's see... how will the right spin this away?

How about "We meant drugs from OUTSIDE of the county."

[On the Road]

92. OK -- IF Rush Started the Oxycontin After Back Surgery,

WHY did he have to buy them illegally? WHY? He couldn't get a sympathetic doctor to prescribe as much as he needed? Given the seriousness of illegal trafficking in prescription drugs, I don't understand it.

I mean, EVEN IF he's making it all up, he apparently did have back surgery. If you're a celebrity, you go to a doctor and say "my back pain returned" -- I need meds. Even if you're making it up, the doctor has no way of testing for pain. You're sure to get the prescription.

[TeeYiYi]

98. Not in those quantities . . .

. . . the doctor would lose his license. And if Rush used more than one doc to get the scripts they would all lose their licenses. DEA and DOPL don't fuck around. Not even for Rush.

TYY

[CO Liberal]

103. And If His Back Was Injured Enough To Require Painkillers & Surgery...

...how does he play golf? I mean, I have two herniated discs in my lower back and there are days that walking is a chore.

[TeeYiYi]

114. Good call CO Liberal . . .

People with back pain that severe resulting from spinal injury DON'T PLAY GOLF. Did ya hear that freepers?

TYY

[CO Liberal]

120. My Back Goes Into Spasms Sometimes Using the Vacuum Cleaner

I wouldn't even DREAM of trying to swing a golf club.

[barbaraann]

93. So he's supporting the terrorists by using illegal drugs. Right?

Actually, I don't think opiates should be manufactured in pill form but the profit motive trumps the common good in the medical system we have now.

[Catherine Vincent]

97. So dittoheads have been listening to a drug addict for all these years?

Well I don't know what to say about that. But we all know they'll say it doesn't matter..."he's our Rush and we love him". wimper

Regardless, I hear addiction is very bad and because he has a lot of money (stupid moron had everything) he will receive the best of care and more than likely get off. Never mind what he said about other drug users, right? I'm surprised that guy could sleep at night.

Al Franken was right...Rush is a big fat idiot!

[barbaraann]

99. Is his treatment OUTSIDE the US? Will he evade arrest?

Enquiring minds want to know.

[Q]

102. Class II FELONY...

...in Florida. Some lawyer on MSNBC is saying that prosecutors will go after those who sold Rush the drugs...not Rush the 'user'. He went on to say this is so...not because it's Rush...but because that's the 'focus' of law enforcement in the US.

- Tell that to the millions of 'users' in US prisons and jails.

[barbaraann]

108. I heard that garbage.

And I need a way to deal with outrage-overload-syndrome.

[Fatima]

137. Meanwhile, some poor kid, any poor kid, goes to the pokey

for a tiny lump of rock or a little bag of weed in his pocket.

AND loses the opportunity to get Federal college assistance in the future, if I recall correctly.

AND will be screwed out of virtually any decent job given the level of background checks that goes on today...

BUT- hey! The military, while claiming to be tough on drugs, will very likely offer him a waiver to enlist (it's done ALL the time), so all's not lost...he can be cannon fodder for another one of Bush's wild forays into empire-building!

WHHHOOOOEEEEEE!!!

[barbaraann]

147. It makes my blood boil.

[RoeBear]

105. As soon as you get done listening...

...I want you to take a shower.

[CO Liberal]

109. I Can't - I'm At Work

And now, I'm listening to Hannity talking about what a "great man" El Gasbag is.

[barbaraann]

Take a bath in tomato juice when you get home.

I think that works for skunk smell so it might work for right-wing feces contamination.

[maha]

110. I'm just here to take part in the collective merriment.

[Snellius]

112. He owes an apology to all the people he smeared & ridiculed

in his 5 or 6 years of a junkie's crazy rant.

[LuminousX]

113. So many Freepers are recovering addicts

Holy cow!

I hardly ever go there without someone directing me there first, but I HAD to see their reaction to this and amazingly, it seems 1 out of 25 Freeper is either dealing with an addiction, a recovered addict,or have a Pastor who is a recovered addict.

You would think with all that experience with recovery, they'd be a bit more sympathetic to the plight of drug users in general.

[Old and In the Way]

152. They have all had fused backs, too!

I just wasted 3 hours reading their pithy posts. They want to set up a prayer psoting for Rush....whadda joke.

More than a few, though, are trying to show the blantant hypocrisy of their idol....but the sincerely brainwashed aren't having any of it. Their logical contortions almost gave me a brain sprain.

But I think most are missing the real reason Rush is addicted to narcotics. I think it's to mask that portion of his brain that might register some remorse for the lies and divisiveness he spreads in our society. I think that's why he's settled into his Oxyfix.

Well, best thing for Rush is to take it like a man and accept incarceration for 10-15.....he'll be a better man for it!

[eleny]

115. Nachman talking about Rush's hypocrisy

on MSNBC. He talked aboout Rush's hammering on Clinton for is personal foibles.

[Snellius]

134. If even Nachman can see it, Rush is backspace delete.

The bastard's been high as a kite for SIX years, accusing Gore and Clinton and all his victims of being liars when his whole rant was a lie.

116. "Presidential Candidate Senator John Kerry Endorses Illegal Drug Use"

Posted on 10/10/2003 12:39 PM PDT by NotQuiteCricket

Last night's democratic debate in Arizona contained a surprising revelation - Senator Kerry encouraged viewers to purchase drugs illegaly if they wanted to get them "cheap."

Here is the quote: "What I want to come back to, there are two ways for you to have lower prescription drug costs. One is you could hire Rush Limbaugh's housekeeper...or you can elect me president of the United States."

[slaveplanet]

129. Is this a Freeper Misquote

Here is the quote: "What I want to come back to, there are two ways for you to have lower prescription drug costs. One is you could hire Rush Limbaugh's housekeeper...or you can elect me president of the United States."


Michael Medved...another venom spewer , I'm listening to him right now.....He read the quote as Canada and Rush Limbaugh's housekeeper...as the 2 ways to get the junk

so which is it Freep?

[slaveplanet]

139. just heard

Kerry's quote, the Freep got it right......Just another example of how the Wingnut radio hosts get it wrong .

[Evil_Dewers]

118. BAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!

To: Ronaldus Magnus

Ditto.

I hope the libs choke on thier celebrations.

I hope he pukes up his socks for weeks screaming and pleading for his little blue babies, offering the rehab staff millions of dollars for some more synthetic heroin. Getting humbled is a bitch, Rush.

[bhunt70]

130. someone with photoshop skills needs to...

Put rush's head on the movie box of the movie RUSH.

[barbaraann]

119. MSNBC guy says the police won't bother him during rehab.

(Mark Potter, I think)

How considerate of the police! Oh, it would just be such an outrage to bother a rich fascist for committing a felony when they were wealthy enough to admit themselves to a luxury treatment facility!

It's ok to kick a poor addict in the gutter, though.

And the red-headed guy says he's not ashamed to admit he's listened to Rush for years. Creep.

[CO Liberal]

121. Hey - I'VE Got Red Hair!!!!

I listen to Rush just to keep tabs on that asshole. And I'm not a creep......

[barbaraann]

132. I'm not talking about you!

And I monitor the rightwingers sometimes, too.

:hi:

[CO Liberal]

135. I know....

:hi: back at 'cha!!!!

:-)

[barbaraann]

146. Redheads rock!

Except for that one guy on MSNBC, of course!

:hi:

[Hubert Flottz]

122. Will the Criminal Be Purged from the voter roll in Florida?

That's one less for Jeb and Dumbass!

[charlie]

128. He's too lazy to vote

He never cast a vote for his sainted Reagan. Take away his privileges and he'll just have a good excuse not to leave the house on election day.

[AlinPA]

123. I don't feel sorry for the filthy pig.

He has offended a lot of people by supporting rPIGs. He has led the rPIGs and Bush followers. I heard that the recovery from Oxycontin is agonizing. Agonize, you bastard.

[Clark Can WIN]

124. coming soon to a bumper near you

[kentuck]

125. Did Rush lie about his back surgery?

Since he talked about every little hangnail he got, I don't recall him ever talking about his back surgery? Granted, I have never listened to Rush on a consistent basis, but I never heard about the surgery before. Anybody recall his conversation on that?

[ElementaryPenguin]

127. Flush is the thief who's not at all sorry for committing the crime...

But awfully sorry to HAVE BEEN CAUGHT!! NOW he's taking responsiblity - NOW he's making no excuses, NOW he's being honest - NOW THAT HE'S BEEN COMPLETELY BUSTED AND IS TOTALLY FUCKED!!

FUCK OFF, PIG-BOY!! For better karma sake - you might start off by apologizing to an adult Chelsea Clinton for labeling her as the new White House dog, simply because the then 13 year old child had committed the inexcusable crime of having been fathered and raised by a man who happened to be a Democrat who was ELECTED (Yes - elected) President!!

[mumon]

131. Check this out!

Unfortunately, the surgery was unsuccessful and I continued to have severe pain in my lower back and also in my neck due to herniated discs.

BECAUSE HE WAS SO FAT HE AFFECTED THE GRAVITATIONAL FIELD!

[Loonman]

133. Total Hypocrisy

Whenever Rush talked about junkies or addicts on his show he would call them human garbage and belittle whatever social programs they wanted to use.

Now he's using a social program!

Freepers are being total hypocrites about this as usual.



Jim Carville or Begala have to deliver the coup de grace on this idiot.

[LuminousX]

136. I wonder if he can get in under the Bush Family Plan

They must get group discounts for this type of service in Florida.

[Jose Diablo]

140. If in rehab, Na or AA he is honest open and willing

He will then see what a disgusting person he really is. If this happens he will not remain the same. It is after all the 'charecter' defects that cause people to seek happiness or at least the end of pain in a bottle or pill. He is is own worst enemy, that is the lesson from AA or NA.

I hope he is successfull in kicking the monkey. We should hope for him.

149. This is What Rush Limbaugh Thinks About People Who use Drugs

October 11, 2003


This is What Rush Limbaugh Thinks About People Who use Drugs: And What the Faux President Thinks About the Demagogue Drug Addicted Populist



A BUZZFLASH NEWS ANALYSIS



Part I: The Faux, Demagogue Drug Addicted Populist on Drug Users



"We're going to let you destroy your life. We're going to make it easy and then all of us who accept the responsibilities of life and don't destroy our lives on drugs, we'll pay for whatever messes you get into."
-- Rush Limbaugh show, Dec. 9, 1993



"I'm appalled at people who simply want to look at all this abhorrent behavior and say people are going to do drugs anyway let's legalize it. It's a dumb idea. It's a rotten idea and those who are for it are purely 100 percent selfish."
-- Rush Limbaugh show, Dec 9, 1993



"If (Surgeon General Jocelyn Elders) wants to legalize drugs, send the people who want to do drugs to London and Zurich, and let's be rid of them.
-- Rush Limbaugh show, Dec 9, 1993



"There's nothing good about drug use. We know it. It destroys individuals. It destroys families. Drug use destroys societies. Drug use, some might say, is destroying this country. And we have laws against selling drugs, pushing drugs, using drugs, importing drugs. And the laws are good because we know what happens to people in societies and neighborhoods which become consumed by them. And so if people are violating the law by doing drugs, they ought to be accused and they ought to be convicted and they ought to be sent up.



"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 show, Oct. 5, 1995
