Rush Limbaugh is a JUNKIE

[historyteach]

Plain and simple. He's no different than my own beloved son. But, he's not going to jail, despite breaking the laws, AGAIN!

Caught again with prescription drugs not in his name, he is once more under investigation, "to determine if any laws were broken."

Well, of COURSE they were! It is illegal to have drugs belonging to another. In Warren, where I lived for 20 years, they closed down a club because of that very reason. A patron took someone else's medication. Mind you, he had the EXACT same prescription at home, but, didn't have it with him when he needed to take it.

The police raided the place; the court closed it. Yes, there had been probelms with drugs in the establishment before.

But, there's been problems with Rush and illegal drugs before too. Come to think of it, there's been problems with him using other people to GET his drugs for him before. Remember his maid, he sent out in the middle of the night to get his stash? (Wasn't she an illegal immigrant too? I think so. So, she had no recourse to what he asked, if I recall correctly.) This time, he used his "doctor's" name on the phony prescription. The "doctor" should loose his liscense if that's true! How long before the ghost of Elvis visits ole Rush if this continues?

Sorry, but, I'm angry about the double standard. This millionairre bigot who spouts off that drug abuser should have life imprisionment gets off scott free while flagrently violating the laws on drug abuse. He's hurting himself and his family; he's hurting millions of others with his vitrolic disinformation he spouts on the airwaves. And this junkie remains free to continue doing just that.

Put the jackass in jail where he belongs.
Afterall, that's where he says MY son belongs. And my son has no access to the medical care to overcome this scurge that Rush does! Trevor doesn't make millions using and destroying the lives of others.

Thanks for listening. I'm really PO'd about this creep!

Shalom!

History-----Rush Limbaugh isn't the only one doing it....its mostly all politicians, republican and democrat who have the big bucks....i mean hell, look at the Kennedy's.

[cece1960]

Wow. I hadn't really thought of it that way.
I may be going out on a limb here but I'm not sure I agree. While I'm no big fan of his, the claim is that for privacy reasons the Docs perscribe using their name.
I guess I see it as no different than giving out samples as a local Doc in my community would do but I admit that Limbaugh has no need for "samples". My local Doc would do it becasue he knew that his elderly patients on fixed incomes would not spend the money. Regardless of the reasoning, there are many times that the person's name is not on the meds.
I don't think we need to know what celebs are taking Viagra. Its a shame if alternative means have to be taken to keep it private.
According to health officials Viagra poses no threat unless mixed with another drug.
So, while I see your point (rules are rules) I also see where something like this could happen.
Personally, I think the harsher penalty should have been handed out on the first charges.
And the Kennedy's...we could spend a lifetime chasing their activites.

I think rush limbaugh is a hypocritical scumbag that deserves to be someone's bitch in prison. He is a narrow minded racist biggot....but most far right wingers are......

I won't lose ANY sleep when he finnally gets put away.

[janeeyre]

The "haves" can get away with a lot more than the "have-nots". Plain and simple. It's not one bit fair, but IMO that's all it boils down to.

I can't believe I'm posting this--I usually try to stay out of this sort of thing--BUT...

Um, I tend toward the political "right" and am NOT a "narrow minded racist bigot". I detest narrow minded racist bigotry.

Maybe that means I'm not a "far right winger", I don't know. Labels schmabels!

My 2 cents.

Peace,
Jane

[Jwife22]

I agree Cece----that does make sense. When you think about it in that perspective.

Honestly, as to the double standard and who's spewing what out of their mouths. I have learned at an early age, you trust who you think you can believe in politics and life. I can tell you that there are drug dealers locally and drug users locally in my area that b/c mommy and daddy have status or money in the area, they don't go to jail for the same offense or charge a lesser known person in the area would.

Double standards exist everywhere.

As to who spews what out of their mouths, I think that is just about EVERY SINGLE CELEBRITY that walks the face of the earth........JMO.......

[PaperDolls]

Jane's got a point Blake -- I'll admit when I read your post I found my fist in the air while saying "He!! yeah!" But it's true -- there are stupid, ignorant people in the world -- some lean right and some lean left. Pfffft...probably most lean right, but you get my point.

[Jwife22]

Blake--

I am a right winger and I am not a racist bigot.....just because I don't believe in your political views doesn't mean that I am wrong, we just have different beliefs and values.

Its alright to believe what you believe but don't call everyone else who doesn't believe what you do WRONG or narrowminded or whatever it is you said up there. That my friend is narrow minded.

*LOL*

I wonder ... If Rush was a liberal....

*LOL*


Rush is so conservative and tight that he was thinking the pills were laxatives.
Well I am sure his lawyer will try that excuse before this is all over *LOL*


You are correct. Was is right for one should be right for another even if it is Rush or a Kennedy.

[Blake]

I have nothing against people that are consevative....In my post I said FAR right wingers....not the average conservative republican....I'm talking about the limbaughs and coulters....not the average republics.

Far far lefties chap my ass too....just not quite as much

[Jwife22]

i do believe in a lot of what the limbaughs and coulters say, maybe not all of it but I'm not stuck in the middle of being conservative or liberal....i know where I stand in my beliefs and what I believe is right, whether anyone agrees with me or not.

A lot of people bash Limbaugh and Coulter and other republicans and have never even listened to what they have to say. They listen to the snippets the media puts out there.....and we all know where the media stands when it comes to politics.

Now I do agree, some of them go WAYYYYY WAYYYYY to far.....like ol dobsen or what's his name....he's just crazy.........

[cmc]

I don't agree with everything the man says on his show- I don't listen to talk radio anyway, but I do have some compassion on people that they have no privacy.( a teeny-tynsy bit!) He is just a man who evidently needs a little help! (lol) Poor guy- now the whole world knows it!!!!! On the other hand, being in the public 'eye' he has to know that is a price he has to pay.
He definitely exhibits the behaviors of an addicted person.....so I guess that makes him one of us!
I am also not amazed at the name calling done by this man- in 'church' we call them legalists. Without a doubt 99% or the time someone who likes to condemn and blame others especially on a particular topic...HAS that problem himself!!! It's called hypocrisy- we all do it- Rush just does it on the large scale and publicly. I hate lying, but if I say that I never lie...... well what do you think?
c'mon guys let's all be friends! I am not at all a bigoted person yet- am most conservative!
It certainly seems unfair for wealthy people to have access to expensive rehabs and others have to go to free clinics! These people earned or inherited their $$$$ so that is their priveledge. What burns me is when they get special treatment with the law..... that is unconstitutional and actually a subtle form of bribery.
Today's paper said "In theory at least, that physician would be in trouble"
in theory????? further along in this article Rush was boasting about the 'good time' he had in Cancun...... with such arrogance he is a very sick fella.
Wealthy, famous people often have some darn good enablers in place! It looks like the dr will face more reality than Rush.
So I spewed a bit..... I love you guys and thankfully we are all free to disagree on some things.
what a good debate!
hugs to everyone!

What a wonderful example you showed us.
Thank you

[Jwife22]

Okay Best---what a challenge...why don't you how Dobsen justified what he said?

[cece1960]

I often refer to myself as a liberal with very conservative views (if liberal or conservative are my only choices) I guess that makes me "indepenent" but that usually connects itself with a party and I don't like that either.
I live my life as best I know how (which happens to be rather conservatively) while allowing others to make their own choice.
My BF and I debate often about this (he "calls" himself a conservative right winger, but, geez, he doesn't act like one ) He says I am either one or the other (that would be the right wing talking haha) and can't be both.
I believe in people not parties and in actions not words.
I guess thats why I'm always at odds at election time
So...what AM I then...any ideas? (and dreamer or fool are not allowed hehe)

[Blake]

the media isn't biased towards the left....it's biased towards the truth.... (sorry....had to make a funny.....it was getting a little too serious in here)

[cmc]

cece,
you are a dahling! I prefer it if labels are not used- so confining!

[Jwife22]

Sorry about Saying Dobson earlier...I meant Pat Roberson............ooooppppssss.....

I'll 100% honestly admit I am one of those people who listen to "snippets" and make assumptions.....WE ALL ARE.......BUT, if it is something important to me that relates directly to my faith, health, lifestyle,etc..... I will research it....

I know why you got upset now Best........LOL

LOL Cece...lets think up a name for you..........ummm.......how bout...ummm....nonconservaliberindepenetist.

Blake-----I think its biased toward whatever will scare the crap out of the viewers the most!!!! LOL

AMEN!

(a little "holy roller" lingo there.... JUST KIDDING! )

And I agree with cmc--labels are too confining. No need for one!

[historyteach]

Jwife;
The Kennedy's don't spend their time damning addicts. Indeed, Patrick Kennedy has done much to lift the stigma of addiction and mental illness. He doesn't call for a double standard; one for him, one for the "low life" as Rush considers my son! Quite the opposite.Kennedy's done more to lift the stigma and to try and get help for those with dual diagnoses than anyone in congress! And this, during a period when social programs are being cut to hell and big money being paid to no bid contracts of the connected. Please!
And no one called YOU a bigot. Blake, and I, called Limbaugh one. And he IS! Call a spade a spade. He's on the air advocating something different for MY son than he is willing to accept for himself! He's a JUNKIE. PERIOD! He deserves and should get nothing less than he is advocating for others. Wear the shoe you advocate, or shut your mouth is my thought about him.

Cece;
There would be NO issue if the prescription were in his name. It's because it WASN"T in his name it became news; and it's being investigated for legality. He's a man -- supposedly; the prescription belongs in his own name. He's no different than any other man. Frankly, no one really gives a damn if he's limp. That's a reality. This is news BECAUSE he broke the law -- again! No other reason. He's not a freakin martyr! He's a junkie! :nono:

Sorry, that's how I see it. And the left or the right isn't really the issue. I'ts him spouting off harsh penalties for others that he doesn't want for himself, and isn't willing to accept for himself. Hypocrite liar. Nothing less.

Ever read, Rush Limbaugh is a Big Fat Liar? My cousin was a big fan until he learned some facts about ole Rush.
Shalom!

[clancy]

For me its very weird and incredible that someone would actually admit to being a right winger....I have to admit people 'from there' she says trembling, scare me. Really.

I suppose I have grown up in an environment where 'right wing' means everything thats wrong with the world. I agree that when you lean very far to the left OR to the right that the two tend to meet around the back in madness...but what Blake said!

[cece1960]

Well...being the nonconservalibeindepenetist that i claim to be (wait...need to catch my breath) I HAD to do a little digging before I spoke again.
See, I stopped listening to the idiot long ago so I was ignorant to his rantings.
And I stumbled across this:

"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
And there was much much more to pick from.

I throw in the towel Teach...let us all reap what we sow.

[Jwife22]

History Teach-----Kennedy got NO PUNISHMENT for getting into a car and driving it while intoxicated and taking the chance of killing someone. He got preferential treatment by officers. The officers were told by their superior not to give him a sobriety test. He wasn't even arrested or detained afterwards, he was driven to his house by two officers. That is the double standard I speak of. He got into no trouble and only after he got into 2 accidents in a 3 week period did he decide that he wanted to "help", still only got a wreckless driving charge or some nonsense like that.

Clancy--why would you be brought up to be scared of a conservative right wing republican. I do lean to the right because there is so much advocation for things that are against my personal religious beliefs that are being brought up by liberal left wing democrats.

Cece---I'm not saying that I listen to everything he says and follow him like he's a god or something. There are just somethings that we share the same beliefs on and that I happen to think he is right about.
