Payback time for what, his opinions?

My my, this is mighty liberal of you, you're concerned about revenge
against a person that has done nothing against you other than to hold
opinions that are judgmental.

But you are willing to let the people that actually adversely impact your
life to get away with it without a whimper. (let's see, Bill Clinton come
to mind, as does a cavalcade of other corrupt politicians, lying
broadcast show hosts, deceiving doctors, etc.)

As the jobs flow overseas, (yes, yes, Mr. Bush is increasingly to blame
for this as well), as your Rights ebb away under this Patriot act or the
other, as your guns are confiscated, as your health care coverage lapses,
we'll all know that you got your priorities straight because one of the
few things that inspired you to action was taking delight in the
destruction of Rush.

I don't listen to Rush anymore, haven't for many years now. But, and I
have a very big but, (From Pee Wee Herman's movie), if they apply undue
attention to Rush, they need to revisit all of the other politicians,
actors, and sports figures that have been caught up in similar misdoings.

Merry Christmas




It's payback time!

One Mite Ask.... Rush Who ?

Or are your talking about the Electronic Media Lynching
for Rush Limbaugh by a DemoCratZy Political Cardre.

SO WHY has Barry E. Krischer the State's Attorney for Palm Beach
County changed the 'focus' of the Investigation from 'actual'
Drug Dealers to the Conservative Talk Show Host Rush Limbaugh ?

The original Drug Dealing and Drug Suppliers 'investigation'
began as a probe into the illegal sale of prescription painkillers
in South Florida area that targeted dealers and suppliers.
But investigators came across Rush Limbaugh through clues
gathered in a bust of a Drug Dealer in Palm Beach County this year,
that revealed Rush Limbaugh's name as a possible drug buyer.

During this investigation Rush Limbaugh's former housekeeper
(Wilma Cline) was caught along with her husband (David Cline).
After the Clines were caught, they then 'traded' audio tapes and
eMails that they claimed were from Rush Limbaugh to the police
and was "Granted Immunity from Prosecution". The Clines
are/were in-fact Drug Dealers and evidently had kept records
and evidence on their drug dealing business to 'trade' with
the police, if and when they got caught.

TBL: So now the Clines are FREE of All Drug Dealing Charges [.]
* NOTE: The National Enquirer paid the Clines a six-figure
fee for their story.
* REVELATION: The Clines were Black Mailing Mr. Limbaugh
but the Democrat Palm Beach County State Attorney's Office
that Black Mail is not a Crime if Done for the Right Reasons.
* PLUS: Certain individuals connected with the Palm Beach
County State Attorney's Office and the investigation, have
been providing selected information to the National Enquirer
and other friendly news organizations.

? So the "QUESTION" becomes: WHY did the the Palm Beach County
State Attorney's Office let Wilma and David Cline 'the Drug
Dealers' go Free in exchange for Rush Limbaugh 'the Drug User' ?

Has Barry E. Krischer the State's Attorney for Palm Beach County,
choosen to Go After Rush Limbaugh as a high profile drug user
simply for "Political" Reasons.
* NOTE: Barry E. Krischer (Democrat) is the 'elected' State's
Attorney for Palm Beach County, was a supporter of Bill Clinton's
two presidential campaigns and of Al Gore's presidential run in 2000.

I 'repeat' WHY has Barry E. Krischer the State's Attorney for Palm
Beach County changed the 'focus' of the Investigation from 'actual'
Drug Dealers to the Conservative Talk Show Host Rush Limbaugh ?

The Seriousness of the Charges of "Political" Reasons for the
selective 'naming' of Rush Limbaugh 'leaks' of information in
this investigation by Barry E. Krischer the State's Attorney
for Palm Beach County, demand an investigation by the Florida
State Attorney General's Office.

First off, I really don't consider myself a republican, more of a
constructionist than anything.

I really do believe that this whole thing is politically motivated.

As an example, what happened to Brett Farve when he admitted to abusing
prescription drugs? I don't remember anyone requesting his medical records?
And I sure and the hell don't remember any presecutors even "beginning" and
investigation. So Brett Farve along with millions of other people who are
hooked on "scripts" get a pass. (sorry for the pun), but Rush gets leaks to
tabloids, blackmail that is not prosecuted, complete reversal of
investigations, and the special attention of states presecutors. Does not
seem very fair to me. Hell It would be different if Rush was caught with a
bag full of hundreds of pills. But he wasn't.

Bill Clinton allegedly lied about a blow job. Rush Limbaugh DID lie
about drug abuse. There is a difference, except in dumb conservative
minds, I guess.

I never did, but I know he's a pompous jerk. And always was. But why
would it be "undue" attention? If he's a fraud and a liar, it's
certainly "due" attention. Unless you happen to be a dumbass
"dittohead", of course. Then logic doesn't apply.

ASW December 25th 03 05:26 AM

It is not whether the law was broken, it was.

In the case of Bill Clinton he obstructed justice, perjured himself, and
tampered with witnesses. Rush obtained prescription drugs illegally,
tampered with witnesses, and probably possesed enormous quantities of
prescription drugs illegally.

I am questioning the application of the law.

Lets face it, anyone of us has broken a multitude of laws, some more serious
than others. It just seems to me that there seems to be a special place in
the heart of most liberals for Rush. My point was that if it were just
about anyone else the prosecutor would have bailed on the case and forgot
it. Your personal attacks against anyone that agrees with Rush just prove
my point.

Lets say that you are the states prosecutor. You would go after him with a
vengeance. Well ok, so be it. How did you feel about Ken Star? Did you
like that? Did you think that was fair?

What I am talking about is the biased use of power. Anytime it used in this
way it is bad. It makes a mockery out of our court systems and makes me
rethink being politically or socially involved. I mean I could get a ticket
for jaywalking because some police officer seen me in a social/public venue
that he/she did not agree with. While at the same time a police man lets a
guy off a speeding ticket because he is wearing a Mason's ring? Don't think
it has happened?
I know it has! (The Mason Ring example that is)

Here's a topic for discussion;

it's claimed that;
Rush's houskeeper blackmailed him,
threatening to tell of his addiction
unless he paid her $$$$$.

If you threaten to tell the truth about someone
unless they pay you, is it blackmail ?
Would it be a criminal offense ?
How is it different from extortion ?

If they can prove that she took money to keep quiet,
has she committed a criminal offense ?
further
If she took the cash, then told anyway,
would she be liable in civil court for "breach of contract" ?

????

Last Time I Checked: Rush Is Alive !


It's probably not worth checking out, but I did anyway. I couldn't find
the lethal dose of oxycodone, but I did find something on heroin. Just
for the sake of arguement, let's say the lethal doses are similar:

Depending on purity and the user, a lethal dose of heroin may range from
200 to 500mg, but hardened addicts have survived doses of 1800mg and
over."

This is from:

http://www.drug-overdose.com/heroin.htm


So how much oxycodone is in each oxycontin pill?

"It is supplied in 10 mg, 20 mg, 40 mg, 80 mg, and 160 mg tablet
strengths for oral administration."

The website says the 40 mg pills are the most commonly abused.

Oxycontin, unlike heroin, is a time release drug.

"Taking broken, chewed, or crushed tablets could lead to the rapid
release and absorption of a potentially toxic dose of oxycodone."

These quotes are from:

http://www.stopoxycontinaddiction.co...ontin-pill.htm

I'll assume Rush wasn't chewing or grinding and snorting the pills.

The original poster didn't support his claim, but hundreds of pills in a
weekend aren't inconceiveable. It would take a fistful of 10 mg
oxycontin pills to have the kick that one 160 mg pill has. I suppose
Rush might have been managing the opiate side effects with other drugs.
Elvis did. Rush might have been downing vitamins and minerals and other
stuff the way bodybuilders and the health food crowd do.

The TalkLeft site has the headline wrong. Rush wasn't supporting
legalizing drugs:

"Raise the price sky high and fund all sorts of other wonderful social
programs."

Did Rush really want to "fund all sorts of other wonderful social
programs" with drug tax money? Or was he illustrating the absurdity of
the tabacco restrictions?

There's actually a good point at the drugpolicy site. Prisions aren't
drug treatment centers.

Rush wasn't personally hijacking trucks or breaking into pharmacies.
But he was throwing cash into the criminal culture. Maybe, after this
case is worked out, he'll talk about such things as criminalizing drug
abuse. I'd like to hear it. But that's not the sort of radio which has
given him plenty of money to throw around.

Very funny! To quote the Libertarian writer:

"The entire nation owes radio broadcaster Rush Limbaugh a debt of
gratitude, Libertarians say, because his ordeal has exposed every drug
warrior in America as a rank hypocrite."

How true! To be fair to Rush, the drug war rarely came up on his show.
So, on this issue, Rush is a low rank hypocrite.

That's an interesting cite. Among the things it says is:

"With appalling chutzpa, the conservative choir has excused Limbaugh's

either themselves doing drugs or defending those who do. Indeed,
according to the warped logic of one of his most vocal supporters,
Limbaugh's hypocrisy is acceptable in large part because of the media's

But to claim Rush Limbaugh is a hypocrite one would have to believe the

A vindictive mentality just drags everybody down in the mud shouting and
slugging it out. When a "winner" ultimately emerges, it won't settle which
position is right or superior, just who has the bigger fists. That's fine for
troops of baboons, but not so good for civilized humans.

Yes, Rush's "get tough on drug users" stand is infinitely hypocritical, and
speaks for itself. You want to harm Rush? Dig out those quotes and trot them
out. However, aside from whatever damage this does to Rush's credibility, I
thought the classic liberal position was that this drug addiction is a medical
and rehabilitation problem, rather than a law enforcement one. Do I
misunderstand? Is there any value in jailing someone for becoming addicted to
pain medication, after he sought rehab? Any value at all??? I thought not. No
deterrent value. No rehabilitation value. Huge negative costs.

This whole business of digging into his medical records and violating his
privacy rights disgusts me, and quite frankly, those who are driving this ought
to be ashamed of themselves if they're acting this way out of political motives.

I sickens me to see this kind of mentality amongst supposedly evolved people.
I'm not just saying this. You guys - get a grip and play the game by the rules.

I just did the math. Maybe too much of an assumption so I stand
corrected on the amount per weekend.

Here's the quote helping me draw my conclusion.

"Limbaugh's former housekeeper claimed she helped the radio host buy
30,000 hydrocodone, Lorcet and OxyContin pills from black-market
suppliers between 1998 and 2002".

I assumed about an average of 150 a week. Then I figured he probably
got worse -- meaning he started out slowly and started taking ever
increasing amounts. So I was thinking he may have did 20 or so a week
in the beginning and then by the end of things was probably up to a
few hundred a week. Most likely taking those on the weekend when he
wasn't working.

No liberal spin. No conspiracy. Just a logical conclusion. Or so I
thought. Wow RHF - you're message is scary. The kt, Kt. KT! thing

BASIC FACT: Rush Limbaugh 'abused' Prescription Drugs; has
admitted being a Drug Addict; has sought Drug Treatment twice
before; and recently completed a Drug Treatment Program.

POLITICAL FACT: The Basic Facts are NOT Important [.]
What Is Important is Rush Limbaugh is a Conservative Talk Show Host;

Internment for his Out Spoken Right Wing Political Views.

SIMPLE FACT: After she left Rush Limbaugh's employment; his
former housekeeper (Wilma Cline) was caught along with her
husband (David Cline) for Drug Dealing.

LEGAL FACT: After the Clines were caught, they then 'traded'
audio tapes and eMails that they claimed were from Rush Limbaugh

Last Time I Checked: Rush Is Alive !


It's probably not worth checking out, but I did anyway. I couldn't find
the lethal dose of oxycodone, but I did find something on heroin. Just
for the sake of arguement, let's say the lethal doses are similar:

Depending on purity and the user, a lethal dose of heroin may range from
200 to 500mg, but hardened addicts have survived doses of 1800mg and
over."

This is from:

http://www.drug-overdose.com/heroin.htm


So how much oxycodone is in each oxycontin pill?

"It is supplied in 10 mg, 20 mg, 40 mg, 80 mg, and 160 mg tablet
strengths for oral administration."

The website says the 40 mg pills are the most commonly abused.

oxycontin pills to have the kick that one 160 mg pill has. I suppose
Rush might have been managing the opiate side effects with other drugs.
Elvis did. Rush might have been downing vitamins and minerals and other

I Have Thought About It "KT".
Lets get Real Here "KT" Several Hundred of Any One of these Pills
would be a Death Sentence (Life Ending Drug Over Dose) for Anyone [.]

Last Time I Checked: Rush Is Alive !

It's probably not worth checking out, but I did anyway. I couldn't find
the lethal dose of oxycodone, but I did find something on heroin. Just
for the sake of arguement, let's say the lethal doses are similar:

Depending on purity and the user, a lethal dose of heroin may range from
200 to 500mg, but hardened addicts have survived doses of 1800mg and
over."

This is from:

http://www.drug-overdose.com/heroin.htm


So how much oxycodone is in each oxycontin pill?

"It is supplied in 10 mg, 20 mg, 40 mg, 80 mg, and 160 mg tablet
strengths for oral administration."

The website says the 40 mg pills are the most commonly abused.

Oxycontin, unlike heroin, is a time release drug.

"Taking broken, chewed, or crushed tablets could lead to the rapid
release and absorption of a potentially toxic dose of oxycodone."

These quotes are from:

http://www.stopoxycontinaddiction.co...ontin-pill.htm

I'll assume Rush wasn't chewing or grinding and snorting the pills.

The original poster didn't support his claim, but hundreds of pills in a
weekend aren't inconceiveable. It would take a fistful of 10 mg
oxycontin pills to have the kick that one 160 mg pill has. I suppose
Rush might have been managing the opiate side effects with other drugs.
Elvis did. Rush might have been downing vitamins and minerals and other
stuff the way bodybuilders and the health food crowd do.



"Rush Limbaugh Supported Legalizing Drugs in 12 March 1998"

The TalkLeft site has the headline wrong. Rush wasn't supporting
legalizing drugs:

"Raise the price sky high and fund all sorts of other wonderful social
programs."

Did Rush really want to "fund all sorts of other wonderful social
programs" with drug tax money? Or was he illustrating the absurdity of
the tabacco restrictions?



"Drug Policy Alliance Urges Rush Limbaugh to Use Power and Influence
to Benefit Hundreds of Thousands of Fellow Addicts Languishing in
Prison"

There's actually a good point at the drugpolicy site. Prisions aren't
drug treatment centers.

Rush wasn't personally hijacking trucks or breaking into pharmacies.
But he was throwing cash into the criminal culture. Maybe, after this
case is worked out, he'll talk about such things as criminalizing drug
abuse. I'd like to hear it. But that's not the sort of radio which has
given him plenty of money to throw around.


"America owes talk host Rush Limbaugh a debt of gratitude,

Very funny! To quote the Libertarian writer:

"The entire nation owes radio broadcaster Rush Limbaugh a debt of
gratitude, Libertarians say, because his ordeal has exposed every drug
warrior in America as a rank hypocrite."

How true! To be fair to Rush, the drug war rarely came up on his show.
So, on this issue, Rush is a low rank hypocrite.

"Rush Limbaugh and the Hypocrisy Smokescreen"
Source= http://www.commondreams.org/views03/1018-04.htm

That's an interesting cite. Among the things it says is:

"With appalling chutzpa, the conservative choir has excused Limbaugh's
hypocrisy while simultaneously accusing "liberals and the media" of
either themselves doing drugs or defending those who do. Indeed,
according to the warped logic of one of his most vocal supporters,
Limbaugh's hypocrisy is acceptable in large part because of the media's
hypocrisy."

But to claim Rush Limbaugh is a hypocrite one would have to believe the
Rush Limbaugh radio character is the same as the real Rush Limbaugh.
