In defence of Rush

[Emboldened Chimp]

Let me start off by saying that I hate Rush Limbaugh. His ideas are bankrupt; he's a liar, racist, homophobe and misogynist. With that said, I find it deplorable that there are people on this board willing to rejoice in his (alleged) drug addiction. It doesn't matter if we all hate the guy and the bile he spews every day: he is still a human being. And with that, he is prone to all the problems that can befall any one of us.

I say this because I have had to deal with people addicted to drugs: my best friend from home was addicted to cocaine, then later crack. And I'm no angel myself (though I was lucky to never get addicted to anything.) I guess my point is that we shouldn't take pleasure in someone else's pain and despair, even though we hate what he says and does. It's simply just not right.
