Maybe Pangborn missed the rest of this thread. He stands alone with
his stupid opinion that makes excuses for the drug abuser.
Moore, I think Ken's point was that the "pleasure" that Chuckles is taking
in Limbaugh's problem is a bit boorish.

This is OT, but if anyone becomes aware of any articles
written that accumlates what Rush has said about illegal
drug users over the years, then please post a link. I'm sure
that some reporters are scouring through his tapes and
articles now.
I find no glee in his problems. But I would like to know,
specifically, what Rush thinks about, and should be done with
illegal drug users. Such as himself.
P. Tierney
What is most pertinent is what Rush has said in the past 2 years. I
leave it to Chuckles to dredge it up because Limbaugh is *very* vulnerable
on that score. Give the man a cigar for picking out the *real* issue here
and for having the class not to take glee in it. I agree, Rush should get
what he prescribed for others and be judges precisely as he has judged
others. Now, let's see how accurate the Rush haters are with their judgment.
I saw this posted elsewhere:
"there's nothing good about drug use. We know it. It
destroys individuals. It destroys families. Drug use destroys
societies. Drug use, some might say, is destroying this country....
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." -Rush Limbaugh, 1995-
Oh I'm sure he'll come up with some 'but thaaaat's different' angle.

Well, sure. He wasn't using dirty negro drugs. He was using dirty white
trash drugs. He's a victim, not a monster.

And frankly, none of his supporters can fairly criticize you
for it. He's always found glee in the problems of others -- at
least when those people were on the other end of the political
spectrum as he was.

Oh Look the Greenfield Park flasher is back!

LIMBAUGH DISCUSSES DRUGS
Rush Limbaugh has spoken out against illegal drug use on his radio program.
His comments include:
"There's nothing good about drug use. We know it. It destroys individuals.
It destroys families. Drug use destroys societies. Drug use, some might say,
is destroying this country."
"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, (former Grateful Dead guitarist) Jerry Garcia
destroyed his life on drugs. And yet he's being honored, like some godlike
figure. Our priorities are out of whack, folks."
SOURCE: Newsday
Actually, Rush talked about how the law was too easy on white people using
drugs, and that more white drug users being arrested, convicted, and in his
words, "sent up the river" would be a good thing.
The interesting bit for me in this, which seems largely ignored, is the
practical lesson from Limbaugh's addiction. He's been addicted for at some
years since his back surgery. He's tried twice before to get medical help
to stop the addiction, and failed.
During that time, his career has gone well, even flourished. A radio show,
books, moving on to mainstream media like ESPN; contrary to the cautionary
tales, drug addiction didn't ruin his life. The drug use didn't wreck his
career. He was a drug addict, and a successful media pundit.
Hmmm, makes those anti-drug messages that air ad anuseum in PSAs look rather
silly, doesn't it?
And it's one more brick torn down in my own opinions about drug
legalization. I used to be against it, except for marijuana. But the more
I learn about the subject, the more it seems like this is best handled as a
medical and lifestyle matter, and not at all appropriate for law enforcement
to be tangled up trying to "solve" (which never seems to work).
Bo Raxo
So, how many Rush supporters out there think that he
should be "sent up"?
P. Tierney
The date of the article posted was October 11. The quotes,
it is clear to me, are a compilation, from different occassions
and dates. I recall that the last one was stated shortly after
Garcia's death.

Yeah, well, those of us who have had successful lives while occasionally
indulging in the forbidden knew that was all horseshit, anyway.

No, *Rush* is "destroying his life" with drugs. Garcia had exactly the best
life he could imagine, all on drugs.
You aren't the first person to characterize Kenneth Pangborn the
Palm Harbor, Fl. trial consultant (formerly from Salt Lake City) as
crazy and J.P. Young (jpy...@io.com) has done an excellent job
exposing him as a liar, too.

It is not likely that Limbaugh will be "sent up."
As to his checking into a rehab program: Any good lawyer would advise a
client to do that. So said Alan Dershowitz on TV Friday and at a personal
appearance at the FFRF conference yesterday.
He doesn't think Limbaugh SHOULD be "sent up."
But, perhaps he will at least "shut up."
It seems unlikely.
>

One would hope he learns a small lesson....
Time will tell.
I mean the date of Limbaugh's statements.
Moore we see you are crossposting to the world again.
Does it bother you that the people of Utah have asked you to stop?
Doubtful on that point!
Different statements made on different dates. Why do you ask?
P. Tierney
You can see more of the same via my 10/7 post
'AtomicPark.com's Uncle Tom Mascot' regarding the Eastside white
boys who have become the darlings of local newspapers who give them
all sorts of free PR as a reward for using racism on the homepage of
their website to market their software reselling business.
This helps to prove the assertion that 'blacks' do not buy software
-- at least not via atomicpark.com -- nor do they read the milw.general
newsgroup or they would surely have something to say about the use
of a Negro mascot.

Why not specify the dates Limbaugh made those statements? Before or after
his own addiction?
I still don't know why it matters, but regardless, the last two
statements were made in 1995. You can work on the first two
on your own.
P. Tierney
Then those were made before he became an addict to the prescription drugs,
right?

The web site at http://www.aboutkenpangborn.com gives evidence
that the person who posts as "John Gault" is actually Kenneth
Pangborn, a Palm Harbor, FL. trial consultant and internet harrasser.
Pangborn often uses alias internet accounts, for the purpose of
agreeing with himself and creating an illusion of "majority support"
for his harassment campaigns against others. Unfortunately, this
occasionally backfires on Ken, who sometimes has difficulty keeping
his various personas straight.
Okay, thanks for the info.
P. Tierney
Pangborn If you wish to play with the big boys, you should
expect to be
asked to back up your claims. Just how is the PROOF at
http://www.aboutkenpangborn.com that PROVES that you post as "John
Gault" NOT proof? You are a long-standing internet kook who was even
nominated and elected to the Kook of the Month Club for the month of
September. You are a proven liar and harrasser.
http://www.lart.com/auk/whiners.html Remember Kook. Your 15 minutes
of fame is worth a lifetime on the net.
The info is a lie by David Moore.
Moore you are hallucinating again. *You* would be the last person anyone
at IJ would tell. But they wouldn't give that kind of info out at all.

Dave - here is a puzzle for you. When I began posting to Usenet from
this account, you started forging messages to this address. We deactivated
the e-mail access to the account. It has been very amusing watching you and
your porn queen pal try to claim you were getting emails from this account.
As is with you in everything you do, it is a lie. And it was a very
transparent lie.
