v6x4 Posted November 10, 2003 Share Posted November 10, 2003 Hillbilly Heroin UpdateNovember 11, 2003 It's been 33 days since Rush Limbaugh abandoned his ditto monkeys for a rubber room at the Hotel California (you can check out any time you like, but you can never leave). For the first time in 15 years, what's left of American culture has brief respite from Slimebaugh's frenzied right wing disinformation campaign. As El Lardbo's drug saturated brain dries out, the mean and stupid of the world are sobering up from a 15 year hate binge. Not a pretty sight ... and the number of anti-drug rants from Limbaugh's substitute hosts? El Zero. So where do we stand at this point? Let's review, shall we? -----The official spin on the Maha Gasbag's fall from grace is: 1. Everyone makes mistakes2. Anyone can become addicted to drugs3. He deserves a second chance4. Blah, blah, blah... This is what's known as the Change The Subject Doctrine. Popular with the Unelected Fratboy Administration. The real issue isn't wether or not Limbaugh is a drug addict. It's true anyone can fall prey to addiction (just make sure you're rich and politically connected when you get caught). The real issue is that, according to reports, Mr. Family Values knowingly broke the drug laws FOR YEARS. He also pressured his housekeeper (an employee) into breaking the drug laws. All this coming from someone who's built a lucrative career on ruthlessly attacking the frailties of other people. Imagine if a prominent Democrat were in El Blowhard's shoes. The media storm from the radical right wing would be deafening, with Limbaugh leading the charge. It will be interesting to see how this latest, and most flagrant right wing hypocrisy to date, shakes out with Limbaugh's hardcore following - the ditto monkeys. The smart money says he'll emerge from this scandal as someone who courageously "took responsibility" for and overcame an addiction to drugs. The wanton, long term violation of the drug laws will be conveniently overlooked. Classic Republican hypocrisy not seen since a lynch mob of right wing adulterers crucified President Clinton for ... adultery. Double Standard Alert!Remember, during the impeachment farce of our last legally elected President, all those self righteous sermons about the "rule of law"? And finally - as for those government ads about illegal drug use helping terrorists - not to worry. There won't be any secret tribunals for the Maha Junkie. http://www.awolbush.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mojlnir Posted November 11, 2003 Share Posted November 11, 2003 Okay, you've made your point (and I won't say that I disagree with you) but what is there here to debate? I have the sneaking suspicion that a flame war is brewing in this polemical little corner of the "Debate Forum." Yelling loudly doesn't start a good debate (which this definetely could be: extremist hypocrisy, double standards, the differences between far right and far left propaganda machines), but an honest attempt to engage discussion does. I would love to be in on a debate that covers this topic, but lets restart without the yelling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duskreaver Posted November 11, 2003 Share Posted November 11, 2003 I see no shouting or flaming. All this needs is someone of the opposite opinion to continue this argument in a non-aggressive manner. I personally don't give a damn, but I would be interested to see where this goes...

DaCuda Posted November 12, 2003 Share Posted November 12, 2003 v6x4's listing of the "spin" has been applied to supreme liberal Ted Kennedy on more than one occasion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
