The day Rush Limbaugh goes to jail is the day America gets back...
on the right track. This propagandist is the symbol for all that is negative and partisan about America. He has spread more venom than any American alive for 3 hours per day, 5 days a week, for the last 15 years. America should celebrate the day justice is handed down to this despicable excuse for a person.

3. Your assessment of the "king of smarm" is right on!
Of course he comes across as a good ole boy, and the pukes lap it up.

Common sense should tell these morans that the more a person calls themselves a "truthteller", the more likely they are not.

Way too many sheep out there....


:(

5. Keep thinking of that wheel-chair-bound person getting minimum 25 years,
not for distributing, but just for only taking enough Oxycon for his own pain all the while Rush, is free to also distribute his extremely partisan politics/hatred.

6. I agree.
I think that Rush has been a major cause of the divisions endangering our nation. He profits from our misery by laying out the blustery lies that his dittoheads want to hear.

I've tried to listen to his show but I just can't stand all the yelling and anger - who wants THAT as part of their day? The clips that Stephanie Miller and Al Franken play are about all I can take.

9. First offense types like him would only get probation and rehab anyway.
I personally could not care less about Rush Limbaugh.

11. Doctor shopping
he saw many doctors and got prescriptions for oxycontin from all of them. His medical records were admitted as evidence so he is toast.

15. which makes it a non-violent drug offense
I personally don't think our prisons are the place for these people.
Too bad Rush isn't being tried for treason though.

His lies and hate speech incite people to hate and violence and undermine democracy.

13. I could not agree more....
No other single person has done as much damage to sane political
discourse in this country than Limabaugh. I will celebrate the day
he is taken down.

16. His head should be placed on top of a pole

Outside the White House as a warning to the next 10 generations that some freedoms come with too high a price.

And we shall walk past it every day and stare into his lifeless eyes and do this:

:wave:

Hi, Rush!
