I was trying to be funny about Obama. Anyway, the prosecutor DID violate his civil rights on some levels. Remember, even the ACLU decided to take up his case. Just because Limbaugh did wrong does not mean that everything the prosecution did was right. I'm not defending his drug use. I'm saying that he was honest about it. Remember the flap about the viagra he had on his vacation? Releasing that info was a violation of HIPAA law. The prosecution leaked that information and it was illegal. He doesn't have cronies in the media, remember he calls them all the "drive by" media. They don't like him at all. |

The ACLU had problems with the law enforcement exception of HIPPA, not really with Rush. I'd think you, based onb your previous posts, would support HIPPA's law enforcement exception. Interestestingly, I am sure Rush did in the context of the villified drug addicts prior to his arrests for the thousands of tablets :shrug: |

Besides, Rush being an ex-junkie doesn't invalidate his opinions or make Air America any less abhorrent. You are employing ad homonym arguments to invalidate the guy instead of his opinions and how enjoyable his show might be. I mean, if we followed your train of thought there, we wouldn't watch anything or listen to anything because everyone is a hypocrite in one way or another. I mean, we're supposed to listen to Alex Baldwin's opinion on world events, or Madonna's, and they have their faults too. |

And, he was an addict all the while, which makes him a rank hypocrite. Interestingly, many of the most self righteous of the R's seemingly fall big time on the same ****te they persecute. |

I think he is a jerk, but he is far less self righteous than, say, Strom Thurmond, the far right religious zealots, and, for that matter, Rush. Interstingly, he also did not lie to send thousands of innocent soldiers to their deaths based on what he knew was a lie. So, while what he allegedly did (has their been a verdict?) was a bad thing -- I suggest that it is slightly less egrigious than fostering hate in people against one certain type of people when you are doing that very thing :shrug: |

The basic assumption that the WMD's was a lie is still highly questionable. No one knew there weren't any. Again, as has been pointed out, the Russians, French, British, Bill Clinton, and even Saddam's own generals believed he had the WMD's. No one lied, there is a difference between a lie and being wrong. |

So, W and his administration deliberately lied about the yellow cake. They needed to scare Americans and the world. There really is no disputing that. Also, many of the larger players in that general fiasco as well as many Congressional and other investigations clearly demonstrate that W and his cronies also (on top of the lies) deliberatley manipulated the intelligence to the light most favorable for war. What is confusing about that? |

The confusing part about what you said is that it flat out isn't true. It's the stuff of the Huffington Post and other libby blogs. |
