I am looking for a verifiable source of what Rush Limbaugh had to say about people who use drugs. IIRC, he said that all drug users should be imprisoned, but I’m not sure of the exact quote.
I do not wish to debate anything. I need to show this to someone.
“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.”
“When you strip it all away, Jerry Garcia
(former Grateful Dead guitarist) destroyed his life on
drugs. And yet he’s being honored, like some godlike
figure. Our priorities are out of whack, folks.”
(well ditto heads? I bet you still love this drug
addicted, law-breaking drug freek. Ever hear of ‘just
say no’ or how by buying drugs you are supporting
Osama?)"
Here are some more:
And people still hang on Rush’s every word as pure truth from on high. Oh, nevermind, he is high.
Rush very rarely mentioned drugs on his show. The quotes we have on him on the subject tend to be very old. In truth, the War on Drugs does not have universal support amongst right-wing radio listeners. That would only be one reason why Rush rarely mentioned it.
So anyway, Rush has provided very little recent ammunition to use against him due to his drug (and legal) problems.
(By the way, being investigated for drugs is bad. Being investigated for ‘Hillbilly Heroin’ is just so darn embarrassing.)
