Title: Rush Limbaugh
Post by JJA on May 7th, 2006, 9:51am
My apologies to everyone that just threw up in their mouths by reading his name... ;;D

I know this story is a few days old, but...

Just a few days before accepting a plea for using illicit methods to obtain the prescription narcotic Oxycontin, Rush Limbaugh (perhaps trying to be the worst hypocrite ever) is quoted as saying (http://stopthedrugwar.org/chronicle/434/limbaugh.shtml), "The FDA says there's no -- zilch, zero, nada -- shred of medicinal value to the evil weed, marijuana. This is going to be a setback to the long-haired, maggot-infested, dope-smoking crowd."

There is an interesting editorial (http://theunknowncandidate.blogspot.com/2006/05/taste-of-his-own-medicine.html) about the lack of justice in the war on pain management which is exemplified by Rush getting no prison and Richard Paey who is serving 25 years. I will warn you that this editorial is unfair to conservatives. There are a lot of conservatives that disagree with Rush in this area (especially paleo-conservatives) and some liberals that do agree. I don't see this as a conservative vs. liberal issue. Still, I do see Rush a slime-ball for continuing to support the drug war against everyone except himself.

The Economist, a conservative business magazine, has a story about medicinal marijuana in their current issue.  They contrast a National Academy of Science blue ribbon panel (which found benefits) with the FDA study (written and approved by political hacks on ideological grounds, not scientific).    I guess that Rush is citing the political hacks, which isn't too surprising.

Thanks floridian, I missed that one.

The people at The Economist aren't the only one's perplexed by the FDA's putting politics over science. Ironically, some politicians from the House are too.

He is just a big mouth.  The only reason Rush is a household name is because he was there as a conservative overreaction to Clinton.   Without that most people, moderates, don't want to hear him rant.   Just like Michael Moores movie popularity is just a reaction to Bush.    Just give me journalistic integrity and it does not matter what the editorials say, which is why I listen to NPR for my news, it's the only place I can find that integrity despite the liberal editorials.

I listen to Rush EVERYDAY. I love him for the entertainment value alone. I have never heard him say he was not guilty.

And if you have ever listened to his show you would know most of what he says is sarcastic.
So if you are just reading what he said or just listening to what someone said he said, well then you’re not going to get it.

Title: Re: Rush Limbaugh
Post by vig on May 7th, 2006, 8:54pm
Rush doesn't believe he's an entertainer...


;;D


He's a conservative commentator and a radio personality with a large, political base and a LOT of money.

He likes being an instigator, and he likes football.

oh, and calling for intellectual honesty in a post about Rush is probably pushing your luck....

That's why he's in trouble now, not because of his 'addiction' but because of the anti-drug positions he took before becoming an addict.  He's unwilling to subject himself to his own set of words.   (did you get to see how much Oxycontin he got a hold of?  if you or I did that, we'd be behind bars.)


"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. October 5, 1995 show transcript.

“Drug use, some might say, is destroying this country. And we have laws against selling drugs, pushing drugs, using drugs, importing drugs. ... 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,”
-- Rush Limbaugh

Rush was booked on a single charge of prescription fraud a couple of weeks ago.
no, he won't be going to jail....
Title: Re: Rush Limbaugh
Post by JJA on May 7th, 2006, 8:56pm
Robert Downey Jr. did not rally support for drug laws before, during and after breaking them. I think that's the key difference. Entertainer or pundit, the man is a hypocrite.

He does believe he is an entertainer. Just the other day someone called up and was commenting on him and his SHOWMANSHIP. Rush says that’s because you listen and you get it. If you listen to his show, not just snippets of it taken out of context, you would know that he very much believes he is an entertainer.

And does it make me a hypocrite because I believe in the war against drugs, but have tried alternative treatments.

I did not see that. so I can not talk about that. all I know is that he has done what the court has required him to do.  

And if he falls off the wagon in the 2 1/2 years he has left we can talk about it then.

That's the problem. Largely he is but a lot of his worshipers don't know that. They believe everything he says is taken from a stone tablet. He appeals mostly to people that refuse to at least look at the other side of a question. He's the easy way out.

This is the worst thing about cable. It's too easy to tune out something you don't like and the only contrary information is filtered by FOX or CNN. This isn't good.

There is a reason for the vast majority of entertainers support moslty liberals. The far right created the black lists with its not very well-disguised anti-semitic edge. destroying careers and they never stop trying to censor, fine broadcasters and pretending that the rest of us want Puritans in charge.

I completely agree. I always argue authoritarian vs libertarian rather than left vs right. You want to save our Republic? Help end the War on Drugs. Nothing has done more to erode Americans' freedoms and move toward authoritarian rule. We now have to see what's in your urine before you take a job, even if your behavior has been flawlesss. Probable cause has become a joke. The government can take your property without convicting you of a crime (http://www.issues-views.com/index.php/sect/21000/article/21073), despite the 4th and 5th ammendments:
IV The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.

V No person shall be held to answer for a capital, or otherwise infamous crime, unless on a presentment or indictment of a grand jury, except in cases arising in the land or naval forces, or in the militia, when in actual service in time of war or public danger; nor shall any person be subject for the same offense to be twice put in jeopardy of life or limb; nor shall be compelled in any criminal case to be a witness against himself, nor be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation.

When you are able to think outside the box you were brought up in, it becomes obvious that "drinkers of grains" imprisoning "smokers of flowers" is nothing more than the majority taking political prisoners.

Rush thinks he's a GOD of some sort.... Imus runs a ranch for kids with cancer and raises a lot of money for chairity and takes on "causes" -- like the rehab hospital in San Antonio. He has the political clout to get things started and goes after everyone who doesn't do something. Whereas Rush just talks and talks and does nothing to help anyone.

So when he does is prostate cancer phonathon, which he dedicates the whole 3 hours of his show to, and then matches the total donations dollar for dollar...I guess that isn't doing anything to help anyone, correct?

Thomas, do yourself a favor and watch P&T BS!  The show is awesome and shows the hypocrisy with a lot of these groups.  One show was dedicated to the "Save the World" people.  During their show, the had a person at the march going up to people and were asking them to sign a pettition to get rid of Dihydrogen Monoxide (H2O).  The number of people signing the pettition without asking what it was or saying that we needed to get rid of it, was amazing.

Sometimes it's those with adamant attitudes that become a curiosity and come across as most knowledgeable and authoritative, promoting opinions through all channels of communication they can reach as a right under the (sometimes paid) disguise of journalistic fairness.  When actually, their platform and level of credibility in the public arena can be grossly out of proportion to their influence with more informed, yet media conservative, peer-reviewed professionals who don't find it appropriate to offer political or sociological opinions.  
 So I've read, but you have to look a bit harder; like Charlie mentioned though, there is the easy way out too.

“talent on loan from God”

Limbaugh's acknowledgement that all gifts are, in fact, temporary and a loan by the grace of God. Alternatively, an insinuation that Limbaugh's talent is divine in nature.


And now with a coin flip of jargon (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jargon_of_The_Rush_Limbaugh_Show) starting with "t", a new fine line in the entertainment field between humble and arrogant    ;;D

Don't know about you Charlie, but all this BS makes me long for the old days of Huntley and Brinkley -- 30 minutes and the news was covered (in black and white no less). The rest of the time we all thought for ourselves!!!!

Those days are still here just in color and far enough away that the airwaves aren't polluted with it all the crap.
I feel blessed ;)

Baby you mean. She acts, writes, and whines like a spoiled child and she is a perfect example of my rant that it's fine to be a conservative but not okay to be nuts. Her world isn't a place for mature adults.

Aw common Charlie.  You'd give her a little tumble even though she's a conservative nutcase!

Don't know about you Barb but I'm old. I remember when Walter Cronkite and Huntley & Brinkley used to apologize that they didn't have better information because the film hadn't been processed. Maybe that wait had a filtering effect when we weren't repeatedly hit in the face with dozens of if it bleeds it leads stories.

I remember Cronkite reading teletypes on the air when he was  reporting that JFK was dead. He called it the "flash." http://www.netsync.net/users/charlies/gifs/tv.gif

Lovely picture from her photo album.... ;;D

She knows what shes doing, 4/5 hard work and 1/5 outrage does a rich and famous editorialist make.  She probably makes a fortune from being the resident bitch that everyone calls for their talk shows alone.    

This countries greatness was not made by people like these.

Yep Charlie, I remember Crondike on that Nov day (he interrupted Divorce Court). I think that was about the first time (except on election night) that we had 24 hour news reported. But that only lasted about a week or so and then it was back to the National Anthem at midnight (after Carson of course).

But today we have to get more of the same old same old 24 hours a day. Why does everything have to be analyzed to death? Guess we're all so stupid these days that we can't figure out what happened after they tell us the first time.

Oh well, they're running a marathon of "Law and Order". I've seen most of them, but what the heck -- we know they're gonna get the right guy convicted before the hour is up. Save up the news till Imus comes on at 5.
