Oxycotin killing the young. Thanks for the crappy role modeling, Rush (R)

[SpiralHawk]

Rush Limbaugh gave America the role model of a fabulously wealthy, draft-dodging Oxycontin drug addict.

Not surprisingly, the "Young Skulls of Full of Mush" that Limbaugh speaks about on his radio show, followed his 'Republicon Family Values' lead into drug addiction and denial.

Bow your head in shame, Rush.

From today's NYT:

1. Not so.

For Rush it's a success. Fewer people to compete for air with.

2. I have a stepson caught up in the pain meds hell

His life has been a living hell and yes you're right when you say that the pedoboy has played a role in these scrooges of a drugs becoming mainstream.

3. Here's the problem right here.

The first sentence of the article: "This industrial town was once known for its shoes and its steel."

Hey Republicans, tea-baggers and Randians: You're going to have to pay for it one way or the other. You either invest in jobs and maybe pay a little more in wages and benefits and environmental regulations; OR you pay more in taxes for a strong safety net; OR you pay out the ass-end for drug wars, targeting programs, cops, and "initiatives." I mean, I know what y'all prefer, but one way or the other YOU HAVE TO PAY FOR SOMETHING.

4. Anyone who takes Rush a role model should have the dosage increased.

About 10 x the LD50 should cover it.

5. Oh sure, you blame Rush for oxycontin deaths

But are you so quick to blame Bill Clinton for all the deaths resulting from blow jobs? You libruls are just a bunch of hypocrites that way. Oh, Rush is responsible for drug-related deaths because he's a drug abuser, but your holy Bill Clinton is totally off the hook in your mines for all the death and mayhem caused by teen-agers giving each other blow jobs. Arrest my case!

6. Actually, science long ago established the so-called BJ Factoid Fallacy

That is something every young Skull Full of Mush will all want to bear in mind as he, she, or it chooses a so-called role model.

7. Since there has been a link between HPV and throat cancer

We could say Bill Clinton is responsible for the increase in throat cancer as well, due to all that blow job role modeling. :evilgrin:

8. Yes, I suppose you could say that...

But it would be nice if it somehow diminished the magnitude of the shitty example that Rush (R) set.

It doesn't. Rush did what he did. He has to answer for Rush, not for The Clenis.

This, of course, is the basic lesson of personal responsibility that cons always 'conveniently' forget when they are making excuses for their behavior, their example, and their Family Pharisee Values.

9. I don't think kids want to emulate Limbaugh.

They just both have a common interest in getting fucked up!

[formernaderite]

10. aren't most kids in school while he is on?

seriously, except for few homeschoolers who's mothers think listening to him is educational... There are no kids listening, or influenced by him. I could bet that most don't even know who he is... considering how many kids don't even know who the vice president is.

The only people rush influences are his choir...

[pipi_k]

12. They are, but he's so powerful...

he can send his Evil through the air, to be accidentally picked up by anyone not wearing a special shiny hat...

[pipi_k]

11. Are they grasping at straws, maybe?

I heard something similar from some Jesus Freak friends of mine after that whole Clinton/Lewinsky thing...they said that he was the reason why kids were running around having oral sex with each other.

Crappy role model...

Please.

Kids are much more likely to emulate sports or musical figures than a president of the US or some bloated walking turd on TV.
