Is illegal drug use Immoral? If so does Rush have a morals clause
in his eighty million dollar contract? We need to demand that Clear Channal make use of this clause and also Armed Forces Radio. Get that Immoral Felon off Armed Forces Radio.

12. Interesting historical note:
Cleveland, 1993ish (I believe; can't remember exact year right now).

Howard Stern starts in Cleveland on WNCX. Takes on WMMS & WMJI. In 1994, he has a funeral for the buzzard and Lanigan. Buzzard employee chops up their feed - Federal Offense.

Much legal wrangling and gnashing of teeth.

End result - employee gets slap on wrist.

Today, WMMS & WMJI (along with WTAM-1100, WKDD, several others) are Clear Channel owned. Go figure. Looks like they love that kinda morality.

WNCX is Infinity Broadcasting.

3. tell me it's not so
Rush is on Armed Forces Radio? Who should we write to about this? I think we should pursue every avenue to raise the issue that Rush has through his alleged felony, given up the right to speak for the right, left, or anyone else but those who experience addiction.

4. Quick picking on Rush- or the pouty police will jump you...
There's an element on here that will verbally beat you to death for saying 'boo' about Rush. It's a shame we have to fight our own kind first to get at the enemy.

5. Is it immoral to demand your housekeeper buy
drugs for you illegally ? More immoral than having consensual sex with someone ?

6. drugs have done great things for us
drugs made Rush skinnier and svelte. You know he loved that.
Drugs made Rush deaf, which was nothing new. Drugs eased the pain and helped him unwind. They opened Rush's mind and he became very tolerant of personal freedoms. He realized that rehabilitation is the answer for those who need help battling drug addiction. Rush understood that incarceration is not desirable, necessary or effective. He really does lead by example, even if he is still a Nazi philosophically.

8. No, it's not immoral
and we do need to get him off the air, but not because he's an addict. That's the wrong mindset.

We need to demand his ass off the air because he's a racist piece of shit and a hypocrite.

10. Not addict ~ Felon ~ It is a felony to buy drugs in those quantities
It supports terrorism or didn't you hear Rush tell his twenty million listeners that?

11. right on
bitchkitty.

Let us not make the lives of addicts everywhere even harder by adding to the concept of addiction as "immoral."

He should face the music for his buying in bulk - and for being a big fucking liar.

9. If he were
found to be part of a child pornography ring it would be spun that he just loves kids. Doubt seriously if you'd get him on any morality clause. Chimpy either for that matter.

13. And lose their big, fat money maker?
No way! Rehab for Oxyconton should take at least six months but he'll bounce out in a month - contractural obligations, doncha' know?
