yeah he is one

Please educate yourself about stem cell research before you make such ignorant remarks. I realize people like you would rather our tax money going to bombing countries than curing a disease or helping people but at least know what the fuck you're talking about first.

Rush may be a dick. He may be wrong many times. He may be many things. But a photo of a single guy standing in the middle of hot chicks makes him a dirt bag? You sound like what most people say about us and our business. Whore monger? Scum bag. Where have I heard that before. Next thing you know you will be calling him a sinner. :(

Educate me. Don't just say ignorant. What are the facts?

this is why i hate politics.

people have replaced explaining why their side is right with explaining why the other side is wrong.

Rush RUSHED to the bottom on that one.... what a new low. :(

that guy is such an asshole...

bullshit...he is showing the real effects of the condition he has rather than masking them with drugs. If anything the drugs are closer to faking it. You obviously have never lived with somebody who was really ill. The drugs don't suddenly cure them.

heeeey lets all commit fraud to obtain pain killers and then point out how everybody else but us are pure evil!

So they stop being citizens and aren't allowed to have views? If I had a condition like that and a position to be heard I would use that position too.

50 Spazzing celebrities.

Like you dont do illegal drugs, nigga please

The idiot jumped into the shark tank doing this ad and just for the record he
either lied in the ad or was told the wrong facts because nobody is against stem cell research in MO !

Jesus, that'd be like me going on TV and saying "I'm stupid because Clinton's education policies failed when I was in highschool."

Nah, I'm stupid because I was BORN that way. I wouldn't shill for the Republicans to get cheap votes.

The dumb shit (fox) is also supporting the guy in maryland who voted "AGAINST" stem cell research !

My Dad Has Parkinsons. So First, speaking from experience...Michael j Fox is NOT Faking it. parkinson's dyskinesia is common in late onset parkinsons. This shaking is actuallya driext result of the Parkinsons Medication.

I can ssure you he is not faking it...I have been follwoing his progress over the years through the MJFox parkinsons foundation and I know all the procedures and meds he ahs been on.

Living with PD is very difficult and you have "On" days and "Off: days irrespective of the meds you are on. Just becasue you tke the meds does not mean it cures or masks the symptoms...in many cases it will not work at all. As the disease gets worse the meds ultimately dont work.

Although this is not a terrminal disease it si still dibilitating.

What MJ Fox is trying to do is admirable...he is putting his ego aside to help a cause more then a political agenda. If you knew anything about this disease and how desperate people that have it are trying to find a cure you may change you mind

To those of you who ignorantly made derrogatory comments about People with PD (e.g. Gimpish, Human vibrator etc.) think before you open your mouth...if one of your family members had a dibilitating disease you too would be offended. I sincerely hope you never have to go through a situation as bad as this but then again maybe that might help you be a little more human.

With all due respect while I am sympathetic to your fathers plight I do not think criticizing Mr Foxs ad is disrespectful especially considering what is at stake for millions of Americans on both sides of this issue. If Mr Fox wants to make himself a spokesman for whichever politician he supports he should expect those who do not have the same beliefs to not agree with his position plain and simple. Also when you place yourself in the public eye you are going to be under intense scrutiny, for instance because George Bush was once an alcoholic many people accuse him of being under the influence frequently even tho he quit drinking a long time ago, is this fair? So dont take the critisism personally, I am sure Mr Fox doesnt.

Tut tut... No need to talk about swamplife like that - it's a disrespect of all swamp creatures.

SPPLUM

Well put...

But its tough not to take it personal when a family member has something as bad as this...but I see your point.

Im simply saying that people like Limbaugh really shouldnt accuses without knowing the details of a sickness. In this case he's off base...MJF might be helping the wrong candidate but I think what hes trying to get across to the public is the important issue..Stem cell research may help to cure a major disease and the public needs to know thats it,.

Not totally up on Limbaugh but what is his stance on research for weapons to kill people?

he probably would NOT have been able to talk or function for the commercial if taking the meds, some of the drugs they give for it can really knock you out

i have a good family friend dieing of this disease as we speak, it's not pretty

:thumbsup :thumbsup :thumbsup

Fucked up.


I hope Limbaugh ends up with some sort of illness, and looks for sympathy. Because he won't get it from anyone...

That would be me. I used both of those phrases.
Umm my current family has no debilitating diseases, though I did have a great uncle who had MS and died from it. I was a wee kid then though.

Now on the other hand I am gimpish, though I am not a human vibrator, I dont get to shake unless it is an involuntary spasm so any movement would be nice but oh well it wont happen for me. I will die young and due to effects of my condition more than likely. It is kind of you to hope such things, and I understand the meaning of your post. You however lost the meaning of mine. Just because one is debilitated or disabled does not mean they can not be made fun of. Hell even Michael started a press conference with a joke about his condition.

Why? Well it does not effect us as much as it effects others who are "normal". We can joke about it, we do joke about it, and so should you. I along with many others are sick and tired of being made to feel even more handicapped (gawd i hate that word) by people purposely treating us more different than we are. I.E. for the love of gawd we can take a joke.

How to bash anything that's anti republican by fox news ;)

as a matter of fact in our country most of the politicians are actors and actress :helpme

nothing new, limbaugh is a piece of shit

:thumbsup :thumbsup
I agree totally.
This thread is so insane. More half truths and hate then I care to think about.

Talent isn't against stem cell research?

He voted against a bi-partisan bill that would have given funds for stem cell research. He is against a state amendment that would protect stem cell research. Not to mention he sponsored a bill that would criminalize stem cell research:

http://thomas.loc.gov/cgi-bin/query/z?c109:s.658:

So yeah, he's got nothing against stem cell research.:1orglaugh

The issue isn't even really about stem cell research here, it's about Limbaugh accusing Fox of faking his disease. Whether you agree with his stance on stem cells, Fox has done more for Parkinson's and the human civilization than the fat ass, drug addict Rush Limbaugh has or ever will do.

A person cannot exploit a disease...he is just trying to make people understand. Limbaugh does not know what he is talking about

how anyone can defend that drug addict scumbag is beyond me. Supposedly he represents conservatives but he lives none of your values but you support the scumbag. The party of the slow lol I personally think these type of radio guys got so big not because the us has gotten so conservative its because they feed the lower hateful mentality. People get off on that.

Yeah, we should leave politics up to the losers who couldn't cut it in the private sector (ie: most of our current politicians).

Limbaugh is an extreme. I highly doubt he believes what he says, but he has to keep the fantasy world alive. You have to realize that most Republicans can only vote Republican because they buy into the fantasy world that has al-Qaeda operatives living next door to you, Democrats with Bin Laden on speed dial, and real life diseases being faked. Republicans need to hide behind this fantasy world. They don't want you to see the caskets coming back from Iraq, they don't want you to know about spying on their citizens, and they want their followers to believe that every news source in the world is a liberal media out to "get them".

Now I'm fairly conservative, atleast financially. I don't agree with the Democrats on much when it comes to that side of the coin. But I do agree with them on a lot of the social issues and would say that Republicans are about 50 years behind civilization when it comes to them (I mean they're still running racist ads today). Now I'll vote for any Libertarian candidate on the ballot, but I'll also be voting Democrat for one of the first times in my life. Not because I agree with them fully, but because their reality is not completely warped inside a fantasy world.

He's a drug using tool. He probably likes to touch little boy's peepees as well.

I cancelled my cable TV this week out of disgust over this kind of crap.

After watching the right wing talking heads spinning the Foley pedo story when it was so obviously black and white made me realize I am losing my mind and sense of decency keeping up with the crap being spewed on cable news. I'll wait to read it in the NY Times...

Michael J fox didn't take his drugs. Didn't know he liked to touch peepees, but if you say so.

Lower hateful mentality? You mean like the whole purpose of this thread? You are right people are getting off on it. Calling Limbaugh, a dirt bag, drug addict, whoremonger, and child molester really shows how open everyone's mind is. This turned into saying Limbaugh made fun of Michael J. Fox. He didn't. Michael J. Fox was using his disease to get a guy elected that voted against stem cell research. He entered the political debate and used his illness to do so. You have to understand, nobody said a thing when he stopped taking his drugs so subcommittees could see the effects of his disease. But I guess that doesn't matter because Limbaugh is a right wing conservative hatemonger, whoremonger, drug addicted, bigot that says bad things about people. :(

Actually he did take his drugs, which is what makes him move around like that. It's a side effect of the drugs. A side effect that Rush didn't take two minutes to look up before saying that MJF "faked" it.

Why did Limbaugh not say the same thing when Fox was campaigning for Arlen Specter?

I will have to venture a guess.

1. I expect the circumstances were completely different, which will
cause a very different reaction. Could you provide a link to video of his Arlen Specter commercial where he was shaking a lot? I'll keep my mind open until I see it.


2. If you think it is because Limbaugh thinks Arlen Specter is a great conservative, you may want to guess again. Specter is a Republican in name only from what I hear.

3. I don't speak for, or know Limbaugh. I happened to be listening the day the M J Fox thing came up, and heard exactly what he said. He was not poking fun of MJF's Parkinson's in the way we are making fun of his addiction to pain pills, viagra arrest, and having sex with women he is not married to. I listen every now and then, but those shows just make me angry most of the time, and I wanna be happy.
