Limbaugh accuses Michael J Fox of faking Parkinson's disease
 

The fat drug addicted lard ass knows no limits.

Possibly worse than making fun of someone's disability is saying that it's imaginary. That is not to mock someone's body, but to challenge a person's guts, integrity, sanity.

To Rush Limbaugh on Monday, Michael J. Fox looked like a faker. The actor, who suffers from Parkinson's disease, has done a series of political ads supporting candidates who favor stem cell research, including Maryland Democrat Ben Cardin, who is running against Republican Michael Steele for the Senate seat being vacated by Paul Sarbanes.

"He is exaggerating the effects of the disease," Limbaugh told listeners. "He's moving all around and shaking and it's purely an act. . . . This is really shameless of Michael J. Fox. Either he didn't take his medication or he's acting."

Limbaugh, whose syndicated radio program has a weekly audience of about 10 million, was reacting to Fox's appearance in another one of the spots, for Missouri Democrat Claire McCaskill, running against Republican Sen. James M. Talent.

But the Cardin ad is similar. It is hard to watch, unless, for some reason, you don't believe it. As he speaks, Fox's restless torso weaves and writhes in a private dance. His head bobs from side to side, almost leaving the video frame.

"This is the only time I've ever seen Michael J. Fox portray any of the symptoms of the disease he has," Limbaugh said. "He can barely control himself."

'A shameless statement'
Later Monday, still on the air, Limbaugh would apologize, but reaction to his statements from Parkinson's experts and Fox's supporters was swift and angry.

"It's a shameless statement," John Rogers said yesterday. Rogers, Fox's political adviser, who also serves on the board of the Parkinson's Action Network, added: "It's insulting. It's appallingly sad, at best."

"Anyone who knows the disease well would regard his movement as classic severe Parkinson's disease," said Elaine Richman, a neuroscientist in Baltimore who co-wrote "Parkinson's Disease and the Family." "Any other interpretation is misinformed."

Fox was campaigning yesterday for Tammy Duckworth, a congressional candidate, outside Chicago, when he alluded to Limbaugh's remarks. "It's ironic, given some of the things that have been said in the last couple of days, that my pills are working really well right now," he said, according to a report on the CBS2 Web site.

After his apology, Limbaugh shifted his ground and renewed his attack on Fox.

"Now people are telling me they have seen Michael J. Fox in interviews and he does appear the same way in the interviews as he does in this commercial," Limbaugh said, according to a transcript on his Web site. "All right then, I stand corrected. . . . So I will bigly, hugely admit that I was wrong, and I will apologize to Michael J. Fox, if I am wrong in characterizing his behavior on this commercial as an act."

Then Limbaugh pivoted to a different critique: "Michael J. Fox is allowing his illness to be exploited and in the process is shilling for a Democratic politician."

What a piece of shit asshole :disgust :mad:

WoW ... That's Very ruff.

Just because of the stem cell issue. What an asshole Limbaugh is.

He's an ass.

He said Michael J Fox isnt taking his medications or is exaggerating his movements to garner more sympathy for the ad.

Watch and listen to his sound clip about it

Fact is when you start getting into politics to play on peoples emotions you are fair game for any critisism.

Apparently Michael J. Fox wrote in his book, that when he went before government subcommittees he didn't take his medicine to show them the affects of the disease. Did he do that during the commercial?

Yea, how dare him show the public how devastating his disease really is. :helpme

Limbaugh said he may have used this technique for political reasons that have little to do with actual stem cell research.

But, we know it is a devastating disease. Turns out the guy he did the comercial for voted against stem cell research. Oops. :winkwink:

which still wouldn't be faking it

Making fun of a cripple.. can repugs sink any lower?

Jesus fucking christ, I mean who the hell thinks making fun of somebody dying from a terminal disease will go well in peoria?!?

He has the capacity not to shake as much, but wants to shake more for effect? That may not be faking it, but it sure comes close.

I bet he wouldn't wanna be called a cripple either. Who made fun of him?

This might be true. Doesn't make it any less af an asshole statement by Limbawl.

When did republican come to mean Religious? WTF.

Limbaugh is what is wrong with the US today. Idiots who think they are above the law, look down on people, talk shit, and scream that no one has any decency left.

Then the fat fuck gets busted for having viagra after fucking little boys overseas.

Who? Michael J. FOx or Rush Limbaugh? I hope you're referring to the latter..

i don't really care if he wont off his meds, personally I thought the video was great..hopefully now there is a bit more support for stem cell research..

Now isn't that a lie about Limbaugh? You made up the fucking little boys thing. What if Limbaugh said Michael J Fox fucked little boys? Would you be pissed?

Rush Limbaugh :thumbsup

Never like rush

Jesus christ you're a fucking idiot. So you're trying to tell us you really believe Michael J Fox is more concerned with politics than his disease? Go back to listening to your 3 times divorced drug addicted family values spokesman.

I am not saying that. I am saying he was doing a political ad for someone running for office that voted against stem cell research. I am also saying that stem cell research is legal where the guy he was campaigning for lives. So you tell me. WTF?

I guess I forgot to call you an idiot, and just decided to use logic. But you can return to calling me names, and you will win the argument.

This thread is disturbing :-(

You have a link to prove that?

funny.. coming from the guy that got caught with viagra going to the dominican republic, probably to fuck underage hookers...

Making fun of someone gimpish or not is not really the issue. It may be offensive to some, err ok most non gimpish people at least. Though it really is fair game. If the human vibrator, err Michael can not take a little jabbing oh well he has some issues and should stay out of the public eye.

Rush though crossed the line by making accusations though and that is a different game all together. Does not matter if Michael took his meds or not so that the full effects could be seen. Michael is just showing the truth of his illness and showing the worst side gets the best results and understanding.

Now if Rush wants to go after someone or something about hamming it up. He should take a look at assorted other political commercials. I am fairly certain a few are meant to scare the living crap out of me for no other reason that just possible fear, while others are built purely on junk science and agendas.

He went off his meds to show people Parkinson's up close and not masked by drugs? The nerve of him!



:disgust



Limbaugh is just mad because he doesnt have the courage to go on camera and show people what whore mongering and being a pain pill addict really looks like.

Or maybe to fuck chicks that are hanging all over him because he is a celebrity. Surely nobody here is going to diss a guy for that. You may think his politics suck, but let's just stick with that.

how many people think that actors should stay out of politics, I mean they are paid to act, so how can you tell they're telling the truth?

If he was a webmaster we would call him a PIMP! :thumbsup

Nothing funnier than watching the GFY libs get their panties in a wad . . . well maybe the Air America bankruptcy was a bit funnier.

Purposely not taking your meds so people can see the effects of a disease is not even in the same ballpark as faking. I see nothing wrong with this, if it's the case. Who would say, "I'm going to show people the effects of my disease so that maybe they'll come around on stem cell research. Oh, better take my meds so I don't shake so much!"

As for the other issues... if the guy voted against stem cell research, then... wow. Maybe he should research the candidates he's supporting better. Then again, a lot of times politicians vote against particular bills because their opponents stuff them with unrelated shit and pork.

What an ashhole...

And what leave it to just lawyers who are paid to lie and win at all costs?
At least actors know to appease the people.

The guy voted against what he claims he is doing the commercial for, stem cell research? Does that really make sense? Stem Cell research is legal where the candidate lives. Does that make sense? Didn't research the candidate he was supporting? So he did this commercial while being off his meds, why again?

lol sums him up well.

what a dirt bag limbaugh is.

Another demonstration of warped political spinners failing to even reach the level of swamp life in a pathetic attempt to gain advantage.

Irrespective of parties - these idiots are scum with nada credibility.

AMEN!

But Limbaugh is a dick thou! :mad:

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.
