Statements On Drugs

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
 
"I'm appalled at people who simply want to look at all this abhorrent behavior and say people are going to do drugs anyway let's legalize it. It's a dumb idea. It's a rotten idea and those who are for it are purely 100 percent selfish." -- Rush Limbaugh show, Dec 9, 1993
 
"If (Surgeon General Jocelyn Elders) wants to legalize drugs, send the people who want to do drugs to London and Zurich, and let's be rid of them." -- Rush Limbaugh show, Dec 9, 1993
 
"There's nothing good about drug use. We know it. It destroys individuals. It destroys families. Drug use destroys societies. Drug use, some might say, is destroying this country. And we have laws against selling drugs, pushing drugs, using drugs, importing drugs. And the laws are good because we know what happens to people in societies and neighborhoods which become consumed by them. And so if people are violating the law by doing drugs, they ought to be accused and they ought to be convicted and they ought to be sent up.
 
"What this says to me is that too many whites are getting away with drug use. Too many whites are getting away with drug sales. Too many whites are getting away with trafficking in this stuff. The answer to this disparity is not to start letting people out of jail because we're not putting others in jail who are breaking the law. The answer is to go out and find the ones who are getting away with it, convict them and send them up the river, too." -- Rush Limbaugh show, Oct. 5, 1995

Another One Bites The Dust...
 
The man who harried and harassed the Clintons for eight years. The man who demonized the so called liberal establishment everyday for over a decade. The man who has become the unofficial spokesman for the Bush family and the Republican party.
 
The man who daily heaped scorn on those less fortunate in our society who he labelled as weak and lazy. The man who holds in contempt those who show compassion for the weak, the poor, the disenfranchised.
 
The man who called those who would try to save our environment as Wackos. The man who everyday, on the behalf of the un-elected liars he serves, calls for an illegal and unjustified war for profit, whose victims are mostly the powerless and innocent.
 
The man who earned millions shilling for the thieves and swindlers who sit in the White House, in Congress and the Senate. The man who praises the greedy corporate ceo crowd whose loyalty is not to their country or fellow citizen but to the the almighty dollar.
 
The man who cries about how overtaxed his billionaire corporate buddies are while millions of American jobs disappear overseas. The man who plays golf and smokes expensive cigars while everyday more Americans become homeless.The man who gives his audience exactly what they want, "Bullshit!"
 
Well, folks, it looks like the all powerful Maha Rushie, The Doctor Of Democracy, The Dean Of The Institute Of Conservative Studies and so on turns out to be a weakling no different then those poor souls he has viciously criticized for years. Pray for this fake, phoney, fraud, hypocrite devoted ditto heads, as he never did and never will for the less fortunate among us.

Sorry, Jeff, but I don't buy the BS about Rush Limbaugh. I'm guessing that he is checking himself into a treatment center to save his ass from being prosecuted.
 
I used to be one of his staunchest defenders, but I finally concluded that he is intellectually dishonest--period. He claims to be a conservative--whatever that means--but he does not claim to be a constitutionalist. Like democrats and republican alike, he wraps himself in the constitution ONLY when it serves his purpose.
 
If there can be a law against inciting a riot, I cannot understand why there is no law against inciting a war, which he has done relentlessly.
 
His contradictions--like his frequent use of profanity while not allowing callers to swear, his constantly reading articles while forbidding others to read articles, his claim not to prohibit criticism while silently cutting people off with the flip of a switch--totally disgust me. I sincerely wonder if all the drugs have not affected his brain.
 
I suspect that his often-quoted Nexus search could find numerous cases where other people--without his wealth--have been imprisoned for using and abusing prescription drugs, especially when illegally purchased.
 
Limbaugh claims not to be a victim, but he is a victim of his own hypocrisy.
 
I remember being surprised to hear the term "hate radio," but he, along with Michael Savage, Sean Hannity, Bill O'Reilly, Michael Reagan and others have absolutely poisoned our airways with lies, hate and war.
 
If Limbaugh feels pain,...no one could be more deserving.

Dear Jeff,
 
I am kind of sad at the hate-filled reactions to Rush Limbaugh's addiction to prescribed medicines. As a sober alcholic (5 yrs), I promise you to wish that someone have an addiction is barbaric - just as wishing pain on someone.
 
It is remarkable that apparently the First Amendment is only for a choosen few, who?
 
It is remarkable that apparently tolerence, compassion and bare bones basic Christian love is only for a choosen few, who?
 
I suppose if I had to have a label it would be conservative-libertarian - I can't stomach what politics have become. I have started 3 businesses, created 100s of jobs and 'unretired' twice already - all of this from a pennyless emotional bottom of eating 'used' food as a dishwasher and waking up in my own urine every morning.
 
If those self-appointed activists would stop trying to figure out how to steal my achievement and create their own the world will be far better off. And, yes, I think the - 25% off the top and NOT claimed on taxes - charity is between God and I - not the IRS and anyone.

OK, all you blowhard liberals out there who are just jumping for joy over the situation Mr. Limbaugh is in. Your behavior is pretty disgusting to say the least. Let's not forget that these drugs were doctor prescribed at first for pain from back surgery and are highly-addictive. Now, you think he's a hypocrite? Not so fast. I don't hear him out there screaming from the mountain tops that drugs should be legal now, like your former morally-bankrupt Surgeon General (J. Elders). The difference is that you people will blame everyone else for your shortcomings and Mr. Limbaugh has taken full responsibility for his actions - and that is someone who has great character.
 
Oh, bullshit, huh? He's probably given more to charity than you will ever earn in a lifetime, so don't give me any of that non-compassion crap. So, who do you call the 'less fortunate'? People who sit back and complain about everything that happens to them? Or, how about people who sit on there asses all day believing that the Government owes them something. So, get a grip, pal, those are the people he is referring to. Oh, and by the way, we are all over-taxed not just the millionaires. Let's face it, you can't stand him because his light exposes the darkness of self-pity that you hide behind.
 
Mr. Limbaugh and people in this country with character like him, will always fight back and blame nobody. People like you will give up, blame everyone and just fade away.

The criminalization of drug use/abuse is the handiwork of morons and those who wish to reap some sort of profit, at some end, from the downward spiral and disease. My only hope is that Rush's addiction to narcotics will shed new light on the continuing problem of drugs and justice system, because Rush won't serve a single day in jail, and yet hundreds of thousands of others not of his financial strata will serve long, harsh jail terms for the exact same and even lesser drug "violations." We need a 'Bastille' in America... bad!
