Possesion in this instance constitutes a felony. The only, and I stress the only part, reason why that didn't happen is because he confessed and used his position to skirt any legal action. It's kind of sad that a normal everyday person like us being caught in the same situation wouldn't have this option, yet he did.

You can set up a Pay Pal using just your bank account and have money sent there. That's how I do almost all my transactions. I don't know if a CC is required as a secondary source for making transfers, but I'm pretty sure it's not.

You seriously considering taking up the challenge DT?

No, it's more like the D.A. didn't have enough evidence to make a sure-thing solid conviction, so he struck a deal.

Still makes the man innocent in the eyes of the law. Plea Bargains happen every day. You don't have to be special.

You must have very little knowledge of the legal system making claims like that.

Plea bargaining requires one to admit fault in return for reduced sentencing in order to avert a legal battle. Your precious leader admitted fault in order to get a slap on the wrist. If the DA didn't have enough proof, why did Rush admit fault instead of going to trial and fighting these charges?

In short, he is considered by the law as to have committed a crime, yet since he admitted to it instead of challenging it at trial he recieved a lesser sentence. He's still guilty. The fact that he admitted to it himself kind of makes it obvious.

Well..wouldn't you for a 100$? I'm just concerned if Rush would let me come on air or not since I probably won't be the only person calling...

Setting up a Pay Pal account is pretty easy. It will take a few days though for your address to be verified before you can start using it.

And I think you can get on Rush, you just have to be strong in your convictions on the tpoic for which you wish to speak, and be sure that you sound energetic and don't talk to slow or sound scatter-brained when you're speaking to the screeners. You have to impress them.

WOOHOO!

Tiesto may have a challenger!

Right ... and OJ Simpson was acquitted for murder ... and it's ok for kids to be around Michael Jackson alone ... because you and I both know that our legal system is completely flawless . Read between the lines, Limbaugh does not have to be charged with a crime to be a drug user. HE ADMITTED TO BEING A DRUG USER. Please explain to us how his own words, where he said our country is too soft on drug users, does not apply to him??

quote:

Are you saying he acquired the drugs he was addicted to legally? Are you saying that when he was imbibing in prescription drugs that he had a prescription? In Rush's perfect world where our society wasn't so soft on drug users he would be convicted and sent to jail.

quote:

So he's not living up to his ideology? Wow, the guy has surgeries that leave him in pain, so he gets addicted to the pain killers. Like we've NEVER seen this happen in America before. It's not like he was taking the stuff for thrills.

Oh boo fucking hoo. Like Rush gives a shit about the poor black kid who gets addicted to crack early on in life and lives a life of crime to support his drug habit. Wow, rich white guy has surgery, decides he likes the pain pills he's taking so much that he continues to take them after he doesn't need them anymore. I'm just crying up a river for him here. Damn straight he's not living up to his ideology. His ideology is that drug users should go to jail. His ideology is that our country is too soft on drug users ... white drug users no less. Is there any doubt that he's not living up to his ideology?

quote:

OCC: I wish you'd stop masquerading as a "Conservative", hop on the Democrat's Jack-Ass and embrace your left-leaning views. I don't know why you kid yourself.

I'm not a "conservative" according to the definition of a conservative today. I was a conservative according to the definition of one in the 90's. My political philosophy hasn't changed ... I can't help it if the Republicans have shifted to the democratic platform of big government growth and nation building. If my views are what's left than nearly every republican in the 90's was left according to your definition.

I'm not reading between any lines. I'm telling you that it doesn't look to me like they have enough evidence to even bring charges (un-like OJ and Michael Jackson, or even Robert Blake)...that's a loooooong way from these other more severe cases you're comparing him to where charges were at least brought.

As for his hard-line stance on durg-users, I don't happen to agree with it, but I think there's a difference between getting hooked on pain medication because you are in physical pain versus getting high because you like to smoke crack.

If the DA wasn't bringing charges against him he wouldn't have admitted fault. There would be no reason for it. Any legal council would tell you the same.

He didn't admit fault. In fact, he plead not guilty, right?

Wrong. Unless I live in an alternate universe, Rush not only admitted fault, he did so during a broadcast on his own show.

Fault of being an Addict, not of being legaly guilty, according to the quotes OCC put up. He also said he'd have more to say about the issue and some distortions that are being put forth when he was allowed to (later).

I think you do live on Krypton after-all.
