Rush Limbaugh and the suspicious package

Who wants "bad" drugs ?

The man had some problems, as have many more on the opposite spectrum from him. The man lost his hearing from his addiction, so this post is as cruel as it gets imho... read the vile comments made about Andrew Breitbart, another convervative we lost this morning due to odd circumstance. Taking whatever precaution needed to ensure safety is a wise move. You should look into the legion of conservative commentators and reporters that have been killed around the globe for standing against this "New World Order".

Scary times my friend are here, so better safe than sorry.

I was hoping someone would crack this "innocuous" thread wide open and expose it's vitriolic foundations. We, the sheeple, sleep soundly at night, not only because of our complete ignorance of our surroundings, but also because of people like yourselves.

God bless you.

Seriously.

I don't like him at all, he tells too much truth and I don't like that at all. I want to hear things that make me happy and put me in a sweet place.

From Wiki;
"Before his addiction became known, Limbaugh had condemned illegal drug use on his television program, stating that "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"

Musta' been a constant stream of packages delivered to that guy.:rolleyes:

He blew his back out, then suffered with horrendous pain for several years. Then came a back surgery that made things even worse. His doctors overprescribed Oxycontin and Vicodine just to dull the pain, and during this time he became addicted, a second back surgery fixed the troubles in his back, but the addiction continued, eventually costimg him his ability to hear.

He did not head out into the night looking for a fix, so have your facts straight. I myself know how quickly addictive those drugs are and let me tell you, they are worse than crack, heroin and meth combined. If you had to take the number of pills day he did just to dull the pain, we would be calling you an addict to.

If you think about it, government doesn't want you to get hooked on illegal drugs, they want you hooked on THEIR drugs.

Need I mention the amount of legal drug commercials.....if your problem is you walk by placing one foot infront of the other, there's a drug for that.
Chris Rock does a funny bit on this....somewhat true too.

Being a conservative, I find Limbaugh a little over-the-top for my taste. Bit of an arm-chair drama-queen; but that's just my opinion.

I can agree to that, but one must remember even though he's a pundit, he still adds entertainment into his mix and some can't seem to distinguish the two.

Boiled peanuts ? Yuck !! Roasted baby, thats the ticket. Now bacon fat....I'm all over it.

Used to enjoy rush when he sprinkled in "caller abortions", "Aint got no home", by Clarence "Gatemouth" Brown and other humor along with political and social commentary.

I have to say someone like Breitbart, exposing facts, dealing with the dirty gritty work of making the well connected and powerful accountable are heros to me, no matter which side of the spectrum they are coming from.

See, your mixing the entertainment with the serious side gdb. People who never listen to the guy don't know how to take him, when he's being sarcastic or straight, goofing off or serious.

His recent foot in mouth as you claim was to just get a reaction, stupid as it was for him to say it. His point however came about over the idiot girl saying she has so much sex, birth control is unaffordable to her. If your parents can afford to send you to Georgetown, they can surely afford your birth control without me paying for it. Hey, here's another great idea.....stop having so much sex, duh !! The audacity of this girl infront on congress no less, add Obama calling her to congradulate her, makes me want to puke. If that was my daughter, I would be totally embaressed, disappointed, disrespected.
Rush's point, in case you missed it, was when government mandates the freebies, you essentially give them control to also take away those freebies or require certain behavior to get them.
As far as Rush being mean spirited blah blah and even catching the attention of the prez, one need look no further then Bill Moyer who consistantly called Sarah Palin a ****, ****, the "C" word. Maybe if the Prez is so offended, he should give back the million dollars Moyers donated to him....you know, comming from such a hate monger and all. Hypocrites exist on both sides, even the oval office.

People who haven't experienced the intense pain that follows injury or surgery of/on/near sensitive nerve endings don't have a clue how necessary pain relievers become.

It's strange how that gets targeted when one has conservative political views by detractors who give those of their ilk a pass on virtually anything ranging from fraud, forgery, rape, tax evasion and even murder.

nah, my read of his latest which you'll notice I termed "hit" was fully cognizant of the Barnum factor. The drug hypocrisy.....inexcusable for anyone IMO ! (either side of the aisle)

Addiction is regrettable and human.....hypocrisy , is pure Rush. If only he'd kept his fat mouth shut about incarcerating those in the same boat as he was. EIB shoulda' served him a big cup of STFU on that issue,IMO.

Prescription drugs are among the most used drugs out there. And the way people get them are illegal.

Yep... my wife has 10 years of education to be a drug dealer:rolleyes:

The way people get them is from a pharmacist (PharmD)after an MD prescribes them. 99.9% are done this way and this is where most get into trouble with them. My mom was addicted to morphine after one of her cancer surgeries, and she did not get hooked on it from a street corner at three in the morning.

The thing that bothers me about ignorant posts about the nature of prescrition drug addiction is that almost all people that become addicted to them had no choice but to use them in the first place. The same cannot be said about other drug or alcohol addicts. There is a difference.
