Thats a bit of a stretch the fact is there is a police report regarding his arrest for the viagra and a flight plan that includes his weekend in the dominican republic a country well documented by the UN and other agencies as a mecca for the child sex trade and other prostitution. This is called fact based evidence. Now imagine what Rush would say if for example Bill Clinton were caught up in such a scandal.

Fact based evidence?

I'm only reading what you posted, but I believe it says he was detained, not arrested. He was returning from the Dominican Republic. As far as I can tell, that is not a crime.

Some missing facts are the when, and did anything come of it? I seem to remember you posting this quite awhile ago.

But you have put all the pieces together and determined that Limbaugh flew there to pop Viagra and pump children prostitutes.

That is like putting 2x and 2x together and determining it is equal to 12, because x just HAS to be 3.

Maybe I'm wrong, but it seems as tho someone really has a hard-on for this dude, and if he was guilty of having sex with children, he would be in prison by now.

If he doesn't die today, he eventually will so who gives a crap. Unless he is a robot.

There was a thread about a Republican Senator stating that he hoped a Dem Senator (Byrd) would have a trajic accident and not be able to vote for the Health=Care Bill.

LMAO!

the only evidence lacking is the victim. Why do you think he chose to go to the dominican republic with dozens of Viagra? Do you think he was doing charatible work? If it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck it isnt a chicken.

what do you think Rush or Fox news would have to say about this if it was a Clinton? What would they say if it was Keith Olberman? they would probably mention it at least once a year on the anniversary it happened and claim "once again the liberals have two sets of laws one for them and one for the rest of us"

I dont even need to discuss his self professed drug addiction that he skated on, that in all likelyhood caused his defness.

That is the probemb with most teabaggers and flat earthers and Pallin fans they cannot connect intelectualy with evidence most fifth graders could deduce.

Thats all for me till next year stay safe everyone and happy new year!

I believe this is your paragraph you somehow entwined it with my original post.
That's all lovely and everything. If the world were run by women like you I might be shocked. But listen, a scumbag is a scumbag, so don't think he wouldn't kill a few people himself if he could get away with it. Are you OK with gangsters, mafiosos, even Hitler should've lived? The guy is controlling the minds of a big segment of the politically intelligent. That's dangerous. We just don't care if he passes on, that's all. He is NOT, I repeat NOT just voicing his opinion. He is a manipulator, just as Jerry Falwell or Jim and Tammy don't believe half of what they're saying, he knows he is lying. He thinks it's fun! And he's laughing all the way to the bank.

I will take the liberty of seperating them.

I am not sure why it would shock you if a country was run by women like me. I am not even sure how that pertians to this thread.

I stated what I have felt many times by what I perceive as kicking someone when they are down. I personally don't care for the man, nor have I cared for the people you have mentioned and a lot of them you haven't mentioned.

Most people that voice their opinion are trying to manipulate some way some how whether it is blatent or not. If not why voice it in the first place if not to sway someone one way or another. To maybe plant a seed of another way of thinking.

As far as he is lying I think I would have to see documented sources of that not a blog but actual news footage footnotes so that I could read it and make up my own mind. I feel most politicians, media etc lie or to be a bit kinder slant it to their agenda. In my opinion it is up to the person to seperate the facts and make up their own mind. Not ever do I believe anyone should blindly believe anyone on anything.
peace

Well, I hope he's gonna be ok. He is just another man.

If we follow the lead of Tiger Woods and how he is treated, most the politicians should be without jobs now, and all of the 'commentators'. Unless you can find me ONE who hasnt committed some 'moral crime'. It is so hypocritical that some of these public announcers who come down so hard on celebrities and poiticians are doing the same sordid acts in their own private lives. It was tasteless for Rush Limbaugh calling this 'Obamas america' after a child was beaten on a bus. What if Obama called this Rush's America and started citing all the horrid acts spouses and family have committed against those that are ill(Reference to Rush serving his ill wife with divorce papers in a hospital,,with her children present).

The refusal of so many to separate peoples private from their public lives stifles me. I think publicly the man (Rush) carries himself like an embecile but in his private life, his health, I wish him no harm.

Is that ALL the story is lacking? A victim? Please don't tell me you are a detective. Maybe he has a girlfriend that he was meeting there. Is that possible?

If it were true, than you could castrate him, for all I care. But you are condemening him with scant details and your own hatred for the man.

If there was a shred of truth to it, my guess is, it would be covered by every network, including Fox.

Same goes for his "drug addiction" causing his deafness.

Gee, I wonder why Brett Favre isn't deaf?

JULY 6--Rush Limbaugh was traveling with four other men--including the producers of the hit show "24"--when he was detained over a mislabeled bottle of Viagra found in his luggage during a Customs search. A Department of Homeland security passenger manifest shows that Limbaugh and his four buddies flew from the Dominican Republic on a Gulfstream IV jet owned by Premiere Radio Networks, which syndicates his radio program. Limbaugh returned to Palm Beach, Florida on June 26 with Joel Surnow, "24"'s co-creator and executive producer and Howard Gordon, another of the Fox hit's executive producers (Hollywood agent Jeffrey Benson was also part of the Limbaugh quintet). With all those guys in tow, it is unclear what Limbaugh needed with those 29 100mg Viagra pills. The passenger manifest was among several documents released today by the Palm Beach County State's Attorney in response to a TSG open records request. Included in the material released were a copy of the handwritten statement Limbaugh provided investigators after he was detained upon the discovery of the impotency drug. An affidavit sworn three days later by Limbaugh was also released. In that document, Limbaugh explains that the Viagra "was intended for my exclusive use" and that the drug had been prescribed in the name of his drug treatment doctor, Steven Strumwasser, "to further maintain and protect my privacy."

Well, by God, you are right. He obviously flew down there with the guys from "24" to pump child prostitutes.

You're a regular ****ing Columbo.

NATIONAL STATISTICS

* It is estimated, for example, that there are over 25,000 minors involved in prostitution in the Dominican Republic. (ECPAT International, A Step Forward, 1999)

* There are approximately 30,000 child prostitutes. (ILO-IPEC, Mainstreaming Gender in IPEC Activities, 1999)



* 25,455 children were engaged in prostitution. The main age group was between 12-17 years, of which 64% were girls and 36% were boys. (International Save the Children Alliance, Children's Rights: Reality or Rhetoric?, 1999, citing a UNICEF survey carried out in 1992)

Ok so my girlfriend the social worker had to take a client into rehab and is running late. A bed opened up in the free rehab place it was now or she would probably have a relapse.so I am running late.

Can you think of any legitimate reasone rush and his stag party travled halfway accross the world with a suitcase full of Viagra? Ok for real I am on my way.

I hope everyone has a great new years eve and is surounded by loved ones and family..........cheers

Ah yes. The Democratic slight of hand involving something that was not actually said.

The Dems added the inference themselves.

You conveniently ignore that part, Fanta. As usual.

You are all a bunch of babies... I feel so sad for all the tortured souls , who bring it all upon themselves. But if I HAD to choose, Democratic hands down. Sorry idiots.

Oh now that's nice.

Just because someone disagrees, you resort to insulting their intelligence??

That's kinda sad.

Halfway around the world? As in, just east of Cuba?

A suitcase full of Viagara? As in the 29 Viagara? He had a bottle with a 6 month dosage in it. Maybe he carries it with him at all times. Like a younger man would carry condoms with him, on vacation.

Does anyone travel to the Dominican Republic for any other purpose than to pump child prostitutes?

I mean, I didn't realize that was what their tourism bureau was pushing, these days. I thought it had more to do with their resorts, beaches, history, etc.

You have drawn a conclusion, based on your hatred for the man.

Seems many conclusions have been based on hatred...I really don't care for what this man has to say so I choose not to listen..
yet, he is a human and and all life is sacred. To hear people wish illness, and death on one because they disagree...makes me wonder what some would say about me if the rules did not permit it. I don't know why such hatred still shocks me, I am glad it does...I hope I never become desensitized to it.

I'm not even defending the guy. I just think it is ludicrous to paint him as a child raper, based on a few snippets of information, some statistics about a country's child prostitution, and some conclusions drawn by someone with professed hatred for him.

If it were true, you could let him rot in a jail cell with Gary Glitter, for all I care.
