A Rush Limbaugh post survived the jury 2-5. Who the fuck do we have on juries now?

1. random people from the intertubes, some puppies, seven PHD holders and my daughters guinea pig

Sunny, Freddie is a little shy

3. I knew a lot of people have been opting out

of jury duty, but this is beyond ridiculous. The system has definitely been gamed.

2. I suspect that reflects the extreme polarization here at DU.

Perhaps people saw something that justified their point of view so the voted to save it.

4. I wish I could post that email

with this Kindle, but I can't. There were no explanations for the rulings except for one, which read, "politics aren't contagious." Well well.

5. Oxycontin peddlers

8. or something

It's just bizarre. Never thought I'd see people posting Limbaugh's show on DU. I guess the pathetic piece of garbage can't find listeners in a legitimate way anymore. But 5 DUers voted to let it stay! People, you've got to start doing your jury duty. It doesn't take that long. It's awful for us to let things get to this point.

9. So having an addiction

is cause for ridicule? Rush's positions have nothing to do with his past addiction. Addiction cuts across every demographic possible.

11. Awww

Poor him.



Sorry, I don't care.

[faith moon]

13. Well that was apparent.

You know, he really had to eat major crow when he was exposed that way. After he talked about dope heads and all. I hope that one day you can get to the point to see the humanity in every soul, regardless of political affiliation.

14. Third post and already you're weeping for Limbaugh.

Enjoy your stay.

12. Focus.

This isn't about addiction or any of that shit.

6. In what context was it posted? Context matters greatly. (on edit: I found it)

I think I'd have voted to hide, as well. This isn't Limbaugh Underground.

10. Exactly.

There are plenty of places to find that kind of trade if that's your kink.

7. Sometimes I opt out because I do not understand the complaint.

Beats me why some complaints are made. Wish we could be serious about standards. Sometimes the language is atrocious and makes it hard to see/understand the opinion. Other times the opinion is clear, and just an opinion. Usually I can wade thru but sometimes I just throw up my hands and leave. I want all of us to make clear statements!

Thank you!
