Limbaugh arrested

Ah...so now you appear to be proposing good addicts and illegal drug users like Limbaugh, and bad ones...ie not rich people?

So, getting thopusands of pills from doctors is less drug abusing that getting them from the streets?

Oh...here are a few of his comments on drug use/rs:

On drug users:

Kurt Cobain died of a drug-induced suicide, I just -- he was a worthless shred of human debris.


(on the death of Grateful Dead guitarist Jerry Garcia) Just another dead doper. And a dirt bag.


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. (Except for Rush)





When you strip it all away, Jerry Garcia (former Grateful Dead guitarist) destroyed his life on drugs. And yet he's being honored, like some godlike figure. Our priorities are out of whack, folks.


Too many whites are getting away with drug use...Too many whites are getting away with drug sales...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.


(And, just for fun, our boy on Aids)
On the subject of AIDS:

And one of the things that -- that the -- the AIDS activists said regularly back then was, oh, this is only a matter of time before it spreads to the heterosexual community. It's only a matter of time. And they used that as -- as one of the weapons to try to get people like Reagan to start talking about it from their standpoint. And of course it -- it hasn't. It -- it didn't, and it hasn't, other than in Africa, and in Africa it is -- it is being spread not just by -- it -- it -- it's promiscuity that -- that -- that spreads this, if you want to know the truth. It's promiscuity. But it -- it hasn't made that jump to the heterosexual community. (June 9 2004 broadcast)


The worst of all of this is the lie that condoms really protect against AIDS. The condom failure rate can be as high as 20 percent. Would you get on a plane -- or put your children on a plane -- if one of five passengers would be killed on the flight? Well, the statistic holds for condoms, folks.

No, it's just that CR made a very insightful observation earlier which got steamrolled:

"Secondly, can we really call either one a hypocrit. After all, both became addicted to prescribed painkillers, something that happens to many people who probably are just as vehemently against illegal drug use as Limbaugh (and probably Kennedy). Why is being vocal about illegal drug use and then becoming addicted to a prescribed painkiller make one a hypocrit?"

BTW, your Limbaugh quotes have been duly noted and there might be one that comes close to supporting your position.

I'm not so sure what the AIDS tirade was all about. I'll assume you just got caught up in your hate-filled moment
