Since you seem to be google-impaired, I will indulge you this time.

If you actually listened to Rush, you would have heard variations on this theme a number of times - BEFORE he went deaf and had to come clean.

"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 show, Oct. 5, 1995

Didnt his drug problem start AFTER he made that statement? And maybe since he saw so many other people getting away with it, maybe he thought he would try...

No. He was taking pharmies before that. And who in the world would make a statement like that and somehow justify indulging in the same behavior? Better yet, who would have respect for someone who would do such a thing?

I guess you need to be a "slayer of liberal causes" to understand it.

The rest of the critically thinking public doesn't need to be told what to think by people who can't even follow their own suggestions.

Carry on though and worship the ethnobotanist and the drug addict. That is what is great about this country. When push comes to shove though you guys are about 10% and wont be making a difference any time soon.

As I said, if you listened to him, you heard an ongoing and prolonged diatribe on the subject of drugs and drug use.

It's a pity Limbaugh couldn't have been called to account for what he claimed were his own standards, judged by his own metric, and had the same penance imposed upon him that he prescribed for others.

But that wouldn't be the republican/neocon way, now would it?

Incidentally, you asked when he had ever condemned someone with a drug problem. You received your reply from Limbaugh's own mouth. Quit trying to spin it after the fact. It is what it is, and unfortunately, so is he.

I'd ask him for a follow-up on this claim:

"If you could ask Michael Savage 1 question, what would it be?"

I would ask, "Why are you such a blithering idiot?"
