was he on pain killers when he made comments about the black QB?
From the sounds of it, sam, it's been more than just a few.

I'm no fan of Limbaugh's poltics, I think Rush has to swallow his pride, forget about some other things in his life like his show and his politics enough to seek assistance because this addiction will hook on to him, I read in a few articles it'll be hard to get out of this addiction that Rush is facing and it might've nearly killed him if he hadn't admitted that he had a problem and hadn't checked himself into a clinic.
I'd like to make it clear before anyone starts to raise up a debate against me, I dont dislike the guy because of the general perception people have of him. I honestly dislike him for his views and the many positions he's taken on issues around the country and around the world however I find it hard to sympathize with a person like Rush Limbaugh who has made a career out of attacking people for drug addictions and smearing other people's reputations. But if there is one main theme that runs throughout his shows, it is that Personal Responsibility and Accountability are paramount. That is something I was taught long before I ever heard his name, so that is something that many including I around the country believe in.
Of course, It's too early for us to tell what will happen to Mr. Limbaugh in the long run. He may not be in trouble criminally but he's probably having a personal hell right now and whatever happens, all of America will be watching.

I agree, my thoughts as well Happy29. I can't understand how somebody such as yourself, can write something this intelligent and insightful but yet be so wrong about some things. :lol:

Limbaugh was lucky. There have been a number of big name stars that have been hooked like him and didn't make it. Done the name Elvis ring a bell?

Rush has screwed up. Many people have had this problem. Brett Favre comes to mind immediately. He will overcome this and move on. One difference between Rush and those he criticizes on his show is that he isn't in charge of anything really. Clinton's screw-ups in particular jeopardized our country's very well being. Rush has harmed only himself.

Heres where I think my view differs. Rush didnt just harm himself, he harmed everyone of his listeners down to the last man, woman and child.
Clinton may have cheated on his wife and from a religious and moral standpoint may have violated those things but Rush harmed himself, his political views and his political friends not to mention, politically, socially and morally and sorry for the run-on sentence but many of his fans and his followers have been harmed.
Mr. Limbaugh always preached that Personal Accountability and to be true to yourself is the most important thing, now I don't think he's practicing what he's preaching. However, I am glad that he is seeking treatment for this ailment.
In all seriousness, I wish Rush nothing but the best. I hope he truly does realize that he has a problem and can make the sacrifices and put in the hard work required to overcome this illness. I have zero respect for the man and am his polar political opposite, but that doesn't mean I wish him ill-will. Hopefully this will make a lot of people realize that drug addicts need help, not jail.
