1. Rush not owning a firearm would be a bigger scandal than the drug use...

among his fans.

4. First time drug offenders are rarely jailed

so don't expect to see the lard ass do time. If you can come up with Florida cases (and federal on firearms) where a drug user did any significant time, let us know. And yes, we all know that Rush spoke out many times on his radio show demanding long stretches for first time offenders. We all have known for years that he is a self-centered heartless hypocrit.

5. My point is Limbaugh may be guilty of more than just illegal drug use. eom

7. There is a possiblity that...

some of the tapes he made in the past couold be used to convict him; if he ever went to court.

These are in the public domain,a nd while there are ample opportunities for a good defense atty to quash them, there are precedents in the courtroom.

:kick:

8. They may want to check his walk-in humidor for CUBAN cigars.

That's all he smokes. Cuban cigars are contraband...Federal Crime if he was having them sent. (I know for a fact that you can order Cubans from a company in Spain and have them delivered). I know this because my nasty nephew came for a visit and had them delivered to OUR house. He said it was not big deal, well I read up on the penalties and it is a big deal.

9. the green eyed monster out in force

just love kicking someone when they are down don't ya all ?

[morebunk]

11. Yes, especially when it is a lying hypocrite like Rush Limbaugh

You don't think those thousands of recreational drug users (pot, crack) are down and being kicked in the teeth by this glorious system? A system that will imprision a mother of three for being present when her boyfriend is caught smoking crack while letting the Wall Street broker snorting cocaine go home with a fine. Yeah, some of like kicking the poster boy of fake morality while he's down.

12. Not really.

It's Rush's listeners who are the idiots. Rush is to be congratulated for successfully gulling a bunch of dipwads all these years. He did a lot of damage to the truth, of course, but the truth is recovering now.

13. I think it is because of the blatant hypocrisy...

and, while I feel compassion for his addiction, and truly hope he can beat it, (just as I hope all people who are addicted to substances can kick their habits), I have no soft spot for someone who will break the laws of the very country he so dearly loves to tell us he loves, while condemning all others to a hell of their own making.

Limbaugh is the worst offender, this side of bush, and I'll kick him on his flagarnt breaking of the laws he insists everyone else follow.

He is an minor entertainer that is supported by a group of rich RWnuts, that believe that laws are only for the "common man", and theyu are above them because they have money and connections.

I wonder if Limbaugh will lose his house, like so many others have? Wasn't that where he stashed his dope. Seems to me, the law should be applied equally, to all.

:kick:

14. I just love that this Issue

has attracted so many wingnuts over to this forum , so they claim we're piling on their poster boy. Check out some other threads while your at it, there's plenty to choose.
