Dave_Schuldt Posted October 15, 2003 Share Posted October 15, 2003 Should Rush Limbaugh continue as KGMI's flagship broadcast prgram? Rush said on Friday, 10/10, that his continuing use of "prescription pain medication" (which he purchased ILLEGALLY WITHOUT A PRESCRIPTION) was due to lingering neck pain See http://www.cnn.com/2003/SHOWBIZ/10/10/rush.limbaugh/ But, just a few short months ago in an interview about his golf game, he stated "there was nothing wrong with him" See http://www.asapsports.com/golf/2003celebrity/071703RL.html (response to second question) His noted rapid hearing loss was likely the result of this addiction. See http://www.suntimes.com/output/entertainment/cst-nws-rush11.html. This hearing loss began in 2000. See http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A3408-2003Oct9.html So, Rush has been in the grip of a significant addiction for at least three years (in his on-air admission he said "the past several years"). What has he said about people who break the law and do drugs (like he has)? "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 [to prison]." See http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2003/10/13/politics/main577682.shtml I recommend a campaign to remove Rush Limbaugh's broadcast program from local radio programming (KGMI). After all, he admitted on Friday that he was "no role model." Why should we risk exposing our *GASP!* children to the on-air rantings of a criminal drug addict? If Brett Booner (still KGMI's programming director) cares about kids, surely he will understand! Please contact KGMI at kgmi@kgmi.com or go to their webpage at http://www.kgmi.com/default.asp and let our only "local" commercial station know how you feel. PS: As for anyone, addiction is a tragedy, Rush's no less. It is Rush's hypocrisy that needs condemnation, and it is to that end I think his credibility to be America's self appointed "truth detector" should be challenged.

allthumbs Posted October 15, 2003 Share Posted October 15, 2003 I agree Dave. Rush should resign and get help. Prison? Naw. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobBob Posted October 15, 2003 Share Posted October 15, 2003 If he were whisked off to prison someone would be getting the rush's bum Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott_J Posted October 15, 2003 Share Posted October 15, 2003 I am a right winger, but an addict is an addict. He needs to get on with a program for his addiction. I don't have the time to read all the material you posted, but if he is blaming other etc. then he needs to look in the mirror. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobBob Posted October 15, 2003 Share Posted October 15, 2003 Sisu, I agree, but the problem is that we have filled our prison systems with people with drug convictions. Why should Rush get a break? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott_J Posted October 15, 2003 Share Posted October 15, 2003 Like I said I never read the articles. If he is guilty of a crime then he needs to go to court and defend himself. If found guilty then its off to the Big House with Otis. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
