The hypocrisy of Rush Limbaugh's supporters is now obvious.
Yes, they could say the oxycontin was first legitimately prescribed, and then he simply developed a problem.

But Rush's supporters are the religious right wingnuts who continually decry premarital and extramarital sex, and who see America decaying into what they view as a moral cesspool. They criticize gays, because their god condemns gay sex.

Their god no less condemns fornication.

There is only one purpose to Viagra.

Rush is not married.

Will they bash Rush, the way they bash gays?

:rofl:

:hippie:

5. Here's a link. . .
Limbaugh Detained At Airport

(CBS4 News) WEST PALM BEACH Sources have confirmed to CBS4 News that conservative talk show host Rush Limbaugh has been detained at Palm Beach International Airport for the possible possession of illegal prescription drugs Monday evening.

Limbaugh was returning on a flight from the Dominican Republic when officials found the drugs, among them Viagra.

Limbaugh entered a plea deal back in April in a previous case where his charge of fraud to conceal information to obtain prescriptions was dropped under the condition he continue undergoing treatment for addiction.

Limbaugh had admitted to being addicted to pain killers on his radio program and had entered a rehabilitation program prior to that arrest.

4. Yeah what happened to abstinence for the unmarried?
Rusbo had Cheney on recently talking about morality. How important of a plank it was to the Republican party.

Reminds me of the Bushbots in The Villages in Florida. Highest std's rate in the nation.

Why evangelicals fall for this and still vote republican says something. I just don't know what.

12. He went deaf from oxycontin,
and now he's gonna go blind, too?

I know the repukes are hurting for competent leadership, but the symbolism is a bit obvious in this case.

13. The bizzaro world of the "conservative mind"
One classic characteristic of most "conservative" philosophies is the belief that people are inherently "sinful," and the Fear of God is the only thing that keeps them under control. So, they aren't really surprised or upset when a "believer" commits a "sin" -- it's expected -- they only get upset about people who don't have the Fear of God.

I know; it doesn't make much sense to me either.

15. No
I am almost certain that Limbaugh supporters will give great support to Limbaugh and question the reasons why the airport security searched him. They will come up with every reason that it was not wrong for Limbaugh to have the pills. They will do as they did when it came out that Limbaugh was using oxycontin; it is just a liberal attempt to destroy Limbaugh because of his strong conservative values. I would not be surprised if they just happen to forget that Limbaugh is divorced. Another thing I think people should think about is that Limbaugh was got with the Viagra pill after coming back from Costa Rica. I think we all know what Limbaugh was doing in Costa Rica.

17. Yeah, why DID airport security "single out" poor Rush?
But of course, if you've done nothing wrong, you've got nothing to hide.

If you listen closely, you can hear the sound of teeny, tiny Freeper heads popping.

Hee, hee, hee.

16. Now you know why he hated Clinton so much...
He's so jealous that ole Bill probably won't need the blue pill for years yet... :rofl:

Seriously, though... single (unmarried) people having sex is supposed to be against the RW Republican Agenda, no? As it has been pointed out -- Viagra has only one known use. So, Rush is not only a criminal drug addict, but also a craven sinner, as well.

Hypocrisy, they name is LIMBAUGH.

18. sounds like he broke the deal he made with the prosecutors?

To only get his prescriptions from one doctor.

I guess that whole thing was just a cover for his breaking the laws.
