Reply #51: karma [View All]

While I choose not to engage in hateful behavior, I can understand the frustration of others and believe that karma is playing out and Rush is reaping what he has sown. After more then a decade of spewing half truths/lies, smears, belittleing, taunts, becoming the forerunner of right wing hate media and the political fall out, it's only expected that he will get back what he has put out to others. In AA/NA they strongly emphasise the consequences of your action, behavior and accountability. I have seen first had the horror and pain of the disease of addiction and don't wish that on anyone. I can even find some empathy for Rush if he becomes a recovering addict. However if he is to truly recover and change look at some of the 12 steps.

"Made a searching and fearless moral inventory of ourselves."

"Admitted to God, to ourselves and to another human being the exact nature of our wrongs."

""We were entirely ready to have God remove all these defects of character."

"We made a list of all persons we had harmed and became willing to make amends to them all."

"Made direct amends to such people whenever possible, except when to do so would injure them or others."

Rushbo has quite a tall order to fill and the last two indicate that he owes all of us quite a bit of amends. If he is back to polluting the airways in 30 days, it's clear that he is still an addict and has no credibility and should be written off entirely.
