Sometimes things you say may bite you in the @#$

Who said:

"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."

"We are becoming too tolerant as a society, folks, especially of crime, in too many parts of the country.... This country certainly appears to be tolerant, forgive and forget."

"When you strip it all away, Jerry Garcia destroyed his life on drugs. And yet he's being honored, like some godlike figure. Our priorities are out of whack, folks."

"I know every expert in the world will disagree with me, but I don't buy into the disease part of it. The first time you reach for a substance you are making a choice. Every time you go back, you are making a personal choice. I feel very strongly about that."

"He gets involved in drugs and ends up, ladies and gentlemen, as a newly elected official in Washington, D.C.... So I'm sure Joe Fernandez is looking down there saying, 'Hey, there's a future for, you know, drug users in Washington, D.C.'"

Answer:

Rush Limbaugh

hehe....I guess he was "preaching" out of a guilt complex.

(I cant really listen to rush)

Then again....let him who has no sin cast the first stone (to stone Rush with)

That is just an issue that anyone who speaks out for any cause has to face...they have to face the issue that they are not perfect themselves.....so if being perfect is a requirement for having an opinion or speaking out....then all opinions and speaking better be outlawed! lol.

My take on it is that a person who is a media personality...BY DEFINITION...is pretty much going to be a "fake" to a large degree....and a "liar" and a "pretender"....and once you are a big name media type....the pressure on you to live up to this or that false standard is surely enormous.

I dont think that if Jesus was here today that He would remotely be and sort of "media personality".....quite often in the bible He would send the crowd away or take a person away from the crowd before healing them etc...and He often told them " see that you tell no one". Heck, nowadays the phony balony "preachers" and media folks..if they pray for someone with a headache..and the headache goes away....they print up TeeShirts and write a book about it!!!!


Anyone who is really "into" the hype-ish crap on tv...well, I guess they deserve to see their hyped up false heroes fall.

It's not such a stale topic. The case is very much alive and well.
