    im just gonna throw out a question, for anyone who wants to answer.

    is getting addicted to a street drug, i.e. marijuana, crack, heroin just as morally wrong, as getting addicted to a prescribed pain killer such as vicodin, or oxycotin.

    I was just wondering if you felt they were morally equivalent or one situation worse then the other.

    a junkie is a junkie in my mind...but I am sure the Rush apologists will have a different opinion.

    It's a fine hair to split, but I'm going to have to say no, and it has nothing to do with Limbaugh and everything to do with how the addiction starts. To get addicted to a substance that is 100% illegal, you have to first obtain it, and then try it for the sole purpose of getting high. To get started on painkillers only requires a prescription, usually following injury or surgery. Hell, I've taken addictive painkillers and I don't so much as drink. Given that the easiest way to not take the stuff in the first place, I'm gonna have to go with hard drug addiction being on the wronger side of prescription drug addiction, but just barely. The first time the prescription guy obtains his fix illegally, he's jumping right in the gutter with the pothead.

    Did rush get a pass?

    I would have to say yes.

    Rich and famous, unfortunently get a pass all the time, i believe he was caught with enough oxy to start a factory.

    I would estimate if he were rush the inner city kid, or rush, the poor middle class kid, he would be in jail.

    and a liberal hack is a liberal hack. You toss out crap, can't back it up, and ignore all the evidence that proves you wrong


    How do you tell a communist? Well, it's someone who reads Marx and Lenin. And how do you tell an anti-Communist? It's someone who understands Marx and Lenin.

    Rush did not get a pass. As I posted, the charges were DROPPED

    and, as usual, you are leaving out what else Rush said. Repeat offenders and those who refuse treatment should gp to jail

    But facts never get in the way of your mindless rants

    We are waiting for your link that Rush bought drugs in a parking lot

    I know what Rush said, you got your "fact" from the little voice in your head

    So if a Liberal pundit has abused drugs in the past you would berate him as well?

    Are you kidding? He would be screaming for compasssion, understanding, and therapy be provided (at taxpayer expense of course)

    He would be saying how all the problems of society (brought about be conservative principlas) drove the poor liberal to abuse drugs
