He may have had an addiction to pain-killers at one point, but there is no evidence that it is still happening.

Do you know why he got addicted to begin with? He had back surgery that went south. Do we judge other people who abuse painkillers to deal with chronic pain due to a botched surgery? I don't think that many people do.

I didn't make a moral judgment about his condition. He's a drug addict. If you think that has a negative moral connotation then that's your deal. The chronic painkillers he was abusing are like pharmaceutical herioin. It all works on the chemicals in the brain.

Sean Hannity was/is a good friend of neo-nazi Hal Turner, and used to have him spout hate rhetoric on his radio show all the time.

What a great guy.

LOLZ! Gotta love the haters trying to use guilt by association. Yet most of them are trying to flame the people doing the same thing to Obama and his Pastor J. Wright.

Guilt by association?

He told the guy to call in every week. He allowed the guy to use the word "spic" on air. He allowed the guy to ramble on and on about racial purity. Never did Hannity tell him that such rhetoric was over the line, never did he argue against any points he was making, never did he disagree.

At the very least Sean Hannity was doing this to boost his ratings, which is incredibly sleazy and unfit of a "journalist". However, its well known that the two were friends outside of radio.

Seriously? You need examlples?

Not the best website, but considering they actually mention facts in opposition there isn't much to argue about.

That's not even remotely what I was talking about either since these are far far more recent.

He's not like most pundits who just twist stuff, guy just outright makes stuff up.

Here is an even better list. These also the ones I weren't thinking of.  It ammusingly goes off topic immediatly because there i just outright no defense for it.

I mean, that's why he gets so much viewership. You've got people who believe what he's making up, People who can't believe he's making it up and are listening because of that are pissed off, and people who just laugh their asses off at it.

I used to be in the third category. Actually a registered republican for those who want to play the "liberal bias" card.

I could not agree with this more.  The government should take care of military, roads and infrastructure, and upholding the constitution.  That is where it should end.  We have way too many people who are completely dependent on government.  FairTax would at least be a start of some kind, but I think it is going to be really hard even to get to this anymore. 

 Read the first line in the last link stating the Rush lied about James Madison's quote about the 10 commandments.  Sorry, but after that lie about Rush, nothing else had any credibility from this source.  Here is the qoute from James Madison from 1778.

“We have staked the whole future of American civilization, not upon the power of government, far from it. We’ve staked the future of all our political institutions upon our capacity…to sustain ourselves according to the Ten Commandments of God.” [1778 to the General Assembly of the State of Virginia] 

Kasz216,

Are you serious? You are using mediamatters as a credible outlet. A Hillary Clinton front group telling truths about Rush, wow now that is a new one. This is really stretching for something here. I mean mediamatters, come on you are going to have to way better than that.
