The Only Liberal Sin 661alohacyberian KM, So glad that you posted this! I have long been bothered by the cries of "Hypocrisy, hypocrisy!". Unlike...
order of That have a function drugs that compbuttion they a What you say is absolutely correct and Limbaughs remarks are absolutely correct. But, the fact that Limbaugh was unwilling or unable to follow his own yardstick doesn't mean to suggest his prior remarks are inaccurate or incorrect. One cannot expect to apply reason and logic to insanity, it's impossible, thus the definition of insanity. Becoming addicted to drugs causes insanity with respect to taking those drugs and sometimes many other things. Some people get addicted much more quickly than others, some have predispostions for addictions. Either we must excuse everyone from becoming addicted to prescription drugs obtained legally or we must excuse no one. What the person (victim) said or didn't say, public or private regarding drug abuse is not relevant to the physical addiction that can become reality once the person starts taking the drug. We cannot say that some celebrities are to be pitied, while others vilified - irrespective of their previous remarks regarding the use of drugs. And of course, Limbaugh's detractors are very quick to forget that Rush's remarks were directed at illegal street drugs, not prescription medication that can go out of control if it's addictive. Like Rush, I believe drug addicts (alcoholics included) and drug pushers should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law until they are willing to seek treatment for their maladies, but, I'm not naive enough to believe that Rush Limbaugh's radio career is ruined because of his current addiction, hypocrisy or treatment. His followers listen to him because some the things he says and positions he holds are things that they believed BEFORE they ever heard him and positions they took BEFORE they ever listened to him. That won't change because of his addiction and treatment.
