I'd be interested in your response to post 222(jmc813's reply #420

You mean this typical DU reponse from a DU fan on post #222 of this thread, rightbanker.

But I do wonder why all this sympathy for rich, white, Republican junkie, and utter indifference to the plight of all those others caught up in our insane and inane drug laws?

Rush has admitted his problem and he needs our support and prayers, and like I said to you before when this story first broke, we are not Gods, like the Libertarian party members thin they are.

Once you realize that reality, maybe you won't be so damned smug, like Hillary.

I think you got me mixed up with somebody else. I'm certainly not smug.

I lost my own brother to drug addiction. I know first hand what Rush and his family are going through. I have deep sympathy for him, as for his family, as for the millions of addicts, rich and poor, black and white.

So chill, Dane, chill. Why are you so defensive??

You know, that is something I don't understand about these accusations against conservatives in general. I have never NOT had sympathy for any addict, as long as they weren't trying to kill or assault me, which of course tends to cut down on the sympathy level.

In fact, though I'm sure it's happened with all the members FR has, I have never seen a post unsympathetic to addicts.

I have to go. There are wellheads blowing up here. Why not? This has been a bad week.
