hey rush. i,m going to drug store. shall i pick you up anything.

yeah...some Zig Zags and a 40ouncer man...

Why is it so bad for a shock jock to do drugs, but so many seem to think that it is ok for our pres to do them? If Rush is going to take the beating for it, barry should too.

This is why. It's KerryO's post.

" When you strip it all away, Jerry Garcia destroyed his life on drugs. And yet he's being honored, like some godlike figure. Our priorities are out of whack, folks."

--Rush Limbaugh radio show (quoted in the L.A. Times, 8/20/95)


There's nothing good about drug use. We know it. It destroys individuals. It destroys families. Drug use destroys societies. Drug use, some might say, is destroying this country. And we have laws against selling drugs, pushing drugs, using drugs, importing drugs. And the laws are good because we know what happens to people in societies and neighborhoods, which become consumed by them. 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.

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.

...We are becoming too tolerant as a society, folks, especially of crime, in too many parts of the country.... This country certainly appears to be tolerant, forgive and forget. I mean, you know as well as I do, you go out and commit the worst murder in the world and you just say you're sorry, people go, "Oh, OK. A little contrition."... People say, "I feel better. He said he's sorry for it." We're becoming too tolerant, folks.

--Rush Limbaugh TV show (10/5/95)

Just to clarify, you think that because more blacks are incarcerated for drug offenses, it only means that whites are allowed to get away with the same crimes???? Uh, not in all my days of working in the legal field LOL Only ones who get off the hook are the rich. In one case, the big wig had 1.5 million to pay off the victims, so never did a day in jail for the TWO men he killed while driving drunk.
As far as who gets all this tolerance, ask the woman who had the hispanic cop REFUSE TO EVEN TAKE A REPORT after going next door and talking and laughing in spanish to the men who had assaulted her. What I believe we have become far too tolerant of is the invasion of illegals in this country, who bring nothing but more crimes with them. while bleeding us all dry.

Was the only reason I could think of why you would separate whites out the way you did. Do you have an agenda I am unaware of?

And as far as the drug crimes, take it to those that are bringing the hard stuff across the border aka illegals, first and foremost. That would cut down on a lot of it.

Whatever are you talking about - separate whites out the way I did?
