Should Rush Limbaugh be prosecuted?

[Zuni]

I am not that big of a fan of strict drug laws, but I would make an exception for el Rushbo, because he has been supporting ultra strict measures for years, and helped keep them on the books.
Serves him right. He'll be real popular in jail.

[theorist]

1. Yes.

Make him the male Martha Stewart. He is very replaceable, though.

[Racenut20]

2. The other cons....

Might discover the boil on his butt.

Of course he should be prosecuted. Send a letter to charlie Christ and ask him why he hasn't. And if you get an answer, you are one ahead of me becausse I didn't.

[Booberdawg]

3. Of course he should. He should get the same treatment some poor

schmuck they'd throw the book at and send to the slammer would get. You bet.

[xultar]

4. Hell yeah! Just because he spewed such hateful bull shit about

Celebrities being on drugs. He should take what he dished.

Damn Straight...Throw the book and the jail @ his ass

[Zuni]

10. That is the way I feel

For most people, for most drug abusers I would say leniency or no penalty( for heroin or crack users I would urge treatment). But for someone who has been such a anti-drug crusader, spewing anti-drug propaganda and urging tougher laws----well, he deserves what he asked for.

[Sophree]

25. ditto.

Throw the book at him and watch him squirm. If he gets off, he'll look like a complete hypocrite if he ever wants to advocate tougher drug laws. One less idiotic voice in favor of the wasteful unnecessary "drug war."

[supernova]

5. Yes, obtaining level 2 substances

under false pretenses is, I beleive, a federal offense.

Not only that, MDs who give you a new script knowing you are pill shoppin' are also in trouble.

[Brewman_Jax]

6. Absolutely!

If nothing else, to watch the sorry bastard have to live by his own words in the hell of his own construction.

But, with all of the evidence against him, why wasn't he arrested? :shrug:

[BOSSHOG]

7. Yes, to share a wing with

Janklow, the manslaughterer, bob Novak, the Traitor, bush the deserter, bush the corporate criminal, bush the liar, and other right wing hypocrites too numerous to list. If there was fairness and justice and a functioning constitution of the United States of America, our jail cells would be overflowing with conservatives. Instead, ashcroft is the country's number one lawman.

[Zero Gravitas]

8. Yes

Being a hate-filled hypocritical rabble-rouser is illegal isn't it?

[Monte Carlo]

9. Absolutely, and he should get that mandatory minimum sentence...

... that he loves so much. Incarceration is rehabilitation, right?

[Zuni]

13. Yup

'They should be locked up and then throw away the key' to quote Rush himself.
I pray he will recieve this treatment.
The best thing is, that is no one to fill his shoes.
Hannity could not take up his reigns---Hannity is far to much of a syncophant, a follower, a moron. Hannity would never go as far as Rush. Rush is an evil SOB, but he is cunning and intelligent. Hannity is like a blind bull in a China shop. Mike Savage is way too much of a demented wingnut to appeal to anything but perverted right wingers.

I think getting rid of Rush will really hurt the GOP!

[DoYouEverWonder]

11. Under the circumstances

I would say throw the book at him. Mainly because he has deceived so people who listen to him and take his words to be the gospel. They need to know what a lie this guy's whole life has been.

The dittoheads blame the liberals for the moral degregation of America, while it is the likes of Rush and his ilk who are to blame with all of their hate talk.

[specimenfred1984]

12. Yes, by GITMO Lawyers

after he sits in jail for 2 years, bound and gagged. When convicted, his money should be distributed to all radio listeners for "pain & suffering".

[thom1102]

14. To the fullest extent of the law, baby!

I think there should be a codicil to our laws that says "Hypocrites are subject to the maximum penalty under the law for the crimes they commit."

[izzie]

15. Frankly I am not for sending people to jail for this stuff but....

Rush believes in it so I think we should let him go to jail. I think he should go to one of the corp, owned prisons and test them out.

[realFedUp]

16. If he's found to have broken the law..yeah.

anyone else caught with that much black market
stuff picked up by an employee would have landed
in a courtroom by now.

[plcdude]

17. well

I think he is about done and I would guess that he will retire from broadcasting because there are going to be more and more of these revelations. The strateeegery here for them is to try to offset any announcements by law authorities by commenting immediately. They are on the defense and pretending to be on the offense. The only offense they have is the offensive. I expect that RNC will get him off the air and disconnect him from Bush.

[NoPasaran]

18. That scumbag made his bed

Let him lie in it.

[dfong63]

19. of course

[opihimoimoi]

20. Hell Yess, he should pay the price of the Crime with some TIME

oh yeah baby, the puff piece should burn just like the others who do the same and get CAUGHT.

[hobbes159]

21. I get such a happy glow....

when I imagine Rush doing a perp-walk in handcuffs out of his studio....

[GumboYaYa]

22. No, drug addicts should receive treatment not prison.

Just because the addict is named Rush, I don't think it is the correct approach to throw people in jail for addiction. The more humane and progressive approach is clearly treatment.

[amber dog democrat]

23. Book 'im Danno !

Love to see that happen. Serve him right.

[kanrok]

24. Of course

How can society gain respect for the law if the powerful are exempt?

[RobinA]

26. No

The law should be the same for everybody (isn't that a liberal talking point) and nobody should be prosecuted for being a drug addict. Nor for any other victimless "crime."

Not to mention the fact that his exercise of his rights to free speech should not affect how one feels about whether he should do time. If this were a liberal pundit, would people be ready to lock him up? Hypocrisy is not a crime.
