Limbaugh accuses Michael J Fox

Rushlimbo

Limbaugh says Fox is acting in ad for senator that endorses stem cell research. How does anyone listen to this guy?

Unfortunately many people listen to this man religiously.

Like it or not, Limbaugh might have a point....fortunately (hopefully) the point will be received by the right people.

Some time ago (I forget when), Fox testified in front of Congress on the stem cell research issue and he deliberately did not take his meds so that Congress could see the full effects of Parkinson's Disease. Acting? Not to me...rather a damned effective strategy.

Chances are good that the same was done for this commercial and, if that's true, more power to him. Sometimes it's necessary to put the very ugly truth square in your face for it to be addressed. Otherwise Parkinson's, other illnesses, other problems all tend to remain distant and detached things that feel like they have no bearing on us.

Kind of like world poverty. Whatever gets the job done.

Rush Limbaugh is a self-centred egomaniac piece of shit who spews shit through his mouth and some people who like to be fed bullshit tend to eat his shit up.

Yeah but tell us what you really think?

Unfortunatly this blowhard still gets millions of sheeple or as they call themselves "dittoheads" to listen to his mindless drug induced blatherings.

And some of you out there call people like Rush Limbaugh, Ann Coulter and Michael Savages your heroes...

These people are sick and full of misrepresented hate and dillusion...

And yet some of you (you know who you are) follow these people like they speak unequivocal truth...

I don't get it...

For the most part it probably is. But when you really start to think about it...your fucking nose will shoot out blood as your brain collapses upon itself.

I listen to limbaugh sometimes. I'm not a fan of his. It's all about larry elder. Anyway, the other day Limbaugh read a statistic which said that the rush limbaugh fan base has the highest percentage of educated listeners out of all of the other am radio talk show hosts. Kinda scary. What are they teaching in schools these days, right?

Fox has admitted to not taking his parkinsonss medicine before shooting ads like these.

The ad also suggest that by simply electing Claire McCaskill, the democratic challenger in the state of Missouri, many diseases will be cured practically upon the swearing in of McCaskill. This reminds me of the laughable charge John Edwards made that electing John Kerry president would allow people like Christopher Reeves to "get up out of his wheelchair and walk again."

The ad also charges the incumbent, Jim Talent, with not supporting stem cell research. This is a lie. He only chooses not to agree with the use of embryonic stem cells for research. In fact, a new report today suggest that while embryonic cells injected into mice seemed to make the mice better in the short term, the injected cells soon began transforming into early stage tumors. Risk, reward? Hardly something to platform on in a congressional race.

While I'm on liberalism, anyone find it somewhat odd that CNN film snipers targeting U.S. servicemen, and then broadcasting it back to us on U.S. tv? Ted Turner should be hung for such treason... Then again, CNN is an "international network," right? The "horrifying" pictures of the "torture" at Abu Grab were "too much for the American public to deal with," but live recordings of CNN reporters tagging along with the enemy killing marines is simply refered to as "reporting."

Just more simple reasons why liberalism is justifyingly unjustified.

I hope this pisses someone off and warrants the 8,393,293,494,920th "Bush is stupid" post. Liberal minds at work is blissful.

No one is suggesting that we're ready to start curing diseases today using stem cells. That's why they call it research.

Snipers firing at marines isn't news?

How are you gonna defend Rush calling Chelsea Clintion, who was 13 at the time and had nothing to do with her father's politics, the dog of the whitehouse? If you need to stoop that fucking low then you shouldn't be talking.

Also, I tried search for prices on the medication that someone with Parkinsons would take but wasn't able to find anything (probably has to do with me being tired) but I'm sure it's expensive, just as is a lot of medication people need. By not taking his meds Fox was showing what people who cannot afford medication have to put with. What better way to prove a point than to show how it can affects people with a living, breathing example.


Fox is not acting. Not taking your medication and acting are two different things.

no, but the fact that cnn is showing video of them actually being killed as shown originally on al jazeera is.

When he sat in front of the senate to discuss his ailment, he said this:

Too little medicine causes tremors and stiffness, too much medicine produces uncontrollable movement and slurring, and far too often Parkinson's patients wait and wait (as I am right now) for their medicines to kick in.

http://psychlops.psy.uconn.edu/eric/class/parkinsons/foxhearing.html

Who knows if the guy purposely took his meds right before the hearing, or if the meds take hours and hours to work. Whatever the case, he was not under the influence of his meds during his speech. coincidence?

Also, isn't this a call for federally funded research? Whatever happened to privately funded research?
