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.

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.

Yep, he's the conservative Michael Moore. A big idiot.
Unfortunatly this blowhard still gets millions of sheeple or as they call themselves "dittoheads" to listen to his mindless drug induced blatherings.
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...
trust me dude...you never will.
I like to think that's a good thing
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.

yea right! anyway, that really sin't saying much. The american education system sucks. Lately it looks like the only thing the schools are teaching are how stop bleeding from a gunshot wound.

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?
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.

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?

Perhaps some days more medication is necessary than other days because symptoms vary day to day? Perhaps he needed to take more to offset this? Perhaps not, that pesky Michael J. is a shifty fella. Always was. Probably part of al qaeda as well.

It's also known that he has admitted to purposely not taking the meds so that the realities of his disease can be brought to public light. I've seen this discussed on tv somewhere, but I forgot where. I can't find any source on that so wutevah. I have better things to do than make stuff up, so you're just going to have to take my word for it.

"The chorea that Michael J Fox has in that ad comes from chronic use of dopamine agonists in the context of Parkinson's. They're movements from the medicine, not the disease itself. Although he might have odd movements OFF of his meds, they wouldn't look like the ones in the ad. They'd look like the Parkinson's-like presentation of Muhammed Ali's Dementia Pugilistica.
his 2002 book (chapter 8)
i feel bad for the guy, the dems are using his disease to "drill for fear" when stem cell research is LEGAL in MO and MD, the two states where this is being aired. The Republican candidates do not have ANY plans to make it illegal. the legislation in question has to do with cloning, and this is a ridiculous distortion. Hopefully the GOP gets their head out of their ass quick and highlight this crap.

The amendment in Missouri has NOTHING to do with cloning. The dems are "drilling for fear"? Are you serious? Have you gone to gop.com and seen their new ad. If that isn't drilling for fear, than what is. You think of all the states across the nation that have state wide referendums on the ballot regarding gay marriage. It is nothing but a glorified opinion poll to get the conservative voters out. They tried in Illinois, but it went down in flames, and gay marriage is illegal here.

point one:
"When you see Amendment 2 at your polling place, you will be asked to decide whether to "ban human cloning or attempted cloning." Sounds good so far, right? Who's in favor of human cloning anyway?
But the 2,100-word Constitutional Amendment — which you won't see on election day — actually creates legal protection for human cloning. Hard to believe? It's true. Amendment 2 only outlaws reproductive cloning, which no one in Missouri (or anywhere else on earth) is doing.
Meanwhile, it protects anyone who wants to clone human beings for science experiments. Amendment 2 glosses over the issue of lab-created human life with complicated phrases like "Somatic Cell Nuclear Transfer." But cloning is cloning, and Amendment 2 would put this ethically questionable practice beyond the reach of state law.
Amendment 2 is "2 tricky." And the human-cloning "bait and switch" is just the beginning. "
point two:
ballot initiatives had NO effect on the turnout in the 2004 election. Turnout in those 11 states was not different from 2000. Also, opinions on gay marriage were not statistically sigifnicant in predicting the vote in those states. In all 50 states, opinions towards gay marriage was dwarfed by other issues (iraq and the economy). In other words, the myth that the media has put forth is a fallacy. See a good study: Hillygus and SHields 2005, or any other scientific analysis of the election.
Same thing goes here, Fox can lie in his add, but we can't criticize his lie b/c he has a disease, we can't criticize sheehan b/c of her trauma, and so forth.
again, it's drilling for fear: you vote Republican, and they will stop parkinsans from being cured. An unbelievable distortion at best, an out and out lie at worst.

It will make it clear in our state constitution that all Missouri citizens have the right to have their diseases and injuries cured with any stem cell treatments that are allowed in our country and available to other Americans.
It ensures that Missouri medical institutions can provide and help find new stem cell cures.
It establishes responsible boundaries and guidelines to ensure that stem cell research is conducted ethically and safely. And, it strictly bans any attempt to clone a human being.

I don't even disagree with the Democratic candidate's stance on embryonic research, I just think the ad is beyond being a scare tactic with the goal of misleading...not that that's anything new in politics.
