Funny how the partisan Democratic, liberal journalists in the AP and the rest of the liberal media are not pointing out that the man who is going after Rush Limbaugh, Barry Krischer, the Florida State Attorney of the Fifteenth Judicial Circuit (which includes Palm Beach County), is a Democrat. The liberal media are letting people assume that because the Florida Attorney General, Charlie Crist, is a Republican, and because Governor Jeb Bush is a Republican, the Florida State Attorney for Palm Beach, who is going after Limbaugh, is also a Republican.
We saw the liberal media do the same thing during the Democrat Gary Condit’s scandal. Before the liberal media were exposed by conservative media like Rush and the Media Research Center, the liberal journalists were leaving out Condit’s political affiliation and implying he was a conservative Republican. According to the MRC:
"Normally, a 'Republican' or 'Democrat' label is presented nearly every time a member of Congress is cited, as in 'Rep. Gary Condit (D-CA).' But since May, the three broadcast networks have practically erased the 'D' from Condit’s political identity, detaching the scandal-plagued politician from the rest of his party.
"From May 14, when Chandra’s mother, Susan, appeared on Good Morning America to plead for her daughter’s safe return, through July 11, ABC, CBS and NBC morning and evening news programs aired a total of 179 stories about Gary Condit — 121 full-length reports or interviews, plus 58 brief anchor-read items. MRC researchers reviewed each story, and found that Condit was labeled a 'Democrat' only 14 times, or in fewer than eight percent of stories. Six of those labels, or almost half, came paired with adjectives such as 'conservative' or 'right-wing' which distinguished Condit from other members of his party." http://secure.mediaresearch.org/news/reality/2001/fax20010712.html
There is no sign of Krischer's political affiliation when the liberal media discuss his persecution of Rush.
Even ultra-liberal attorney Alan Dershowitz states that people are not prosecuted for what Limbaugh did. On October 10, 2003 on CNN’s Wolf Blitzer Report, Dershowitz told the liberal Wolf: “generally people who illegally buy prescription drugs are not prosecuted where as people who illegally buy cocaine and heroin are prosecuted.” http://edition.cnn.com/TRANSCRIPTS/0310/10/wbr.00.html
Dershowtiz added that Rush should not be singled out: “don't single him [Rush] out.” http://edition.cnn.com/TRANSCRIPTS/0310/10/wbr.00.html
The persecution of Rush Limbaugh is another Democratic witch hunt, just like when the Democrats put Linda Tripp on trial after the Clinton scandal even though they had no case against her: http://www.newsmax.com/articles/?a=1999/12/14/51514
They indicted Tripp on July 30, 1999 persecuted her for about 10 months, and then dropped the case on May 24, 2000 because they had no case.

Krischer is still a member of the New York bar. And we all know there's absolutely no one in New York who has an axe to grind when it comes to Rush.
To insist on less would be hypocritical.
The above comes from a google search page and that is what is linked.
Ms. Frankel I believe was also the demo leader in the Fla. House during the attempted theft of the election by Gore in 2000.
Then if the accusations are false, it will be on the record.
If they are not false and wrong doing is found, then he should not be above the law.
Probably a small matter but Rush is a conservative and not a "Republican." He has stated this several times. Like most conservatives, he votes Republican because, unfortunately, it is the only option right now.
Yes she was. She's a 1st class, grade-A leftist wench too.
The is Clinton Politics of Personal Destruction.
As far as the unjustness of the law - if there even is a violation (I know little about Florida drug laws and less about Rush's case), it would be hypocritical to pretend it doesn't apply because of who the defendent is; we would both, I think, insist on the same treatment for a Kennedy.
If it is bad law, any prosecutions will be overturned anyway. And if it is bad law, it can be repealed. If it is NOT bad law, than those guilty of violating it - and I emphasize I'm not saying Rush did violate any laws - should suffer the consequences.
The local radio station plays a short clip from Rush's return after his rehab stint, where he says - and I'm paraphrasing - that his behavior has nothing to do with what is right and what is wrong. Even if he is guilty, he says, of hypocrisy because of his past statements on drug abuse and abusers, it doesn't make what he said wrong.
He himself said it exactly right.
My guess would be that the leftsit will wish they ahd left Rush alone. He used to tear them up when he was on drugs, now his mind is clear, clear as a bell, stand back and watch the fun. The leftist are having their feild day now, but in a war, there are many battles and counter attacks, ....
My money is on Rush.
