Good money in drugs ask Rush!!

You know, freedom of speech is a good thing. Rush Limbaugh has the right to say what he wants. He’s free to be an arrogant, hypocritical narcissist and to flaunt his conservative stereotypes and bias behind a mask of patriotism and family values. Thank god I’m free to disagree with him.

So what if Michael J. Fox was on display in the TV spot. He’s famous, he’s sincere, people like him, and his condition could benefit from more research. Would you care if Joe Schmoe had the shakes on camera? So what if he accurately demonstrated the symptoms of Parkinsons disease ... how is that dishonest? Who cares if they filmed him on a bad day when his symptoms were severe ... were they supposed to film him on a good day when all his meds were working?

Quick everybody, look at the democrats. They have an agenda! They use actors and voiceovers in their TV spots! They exaggerate or minimize the facts to suit their politics! They’re so evil!!!!!!! I’m glad we have straight shooters like Rush Limbaugh. He refuses to use sarcasm, exaggeration or sound bytes to make his points and never leaves any fact unexamined in his objective political analysis.

This kind of senseless tirade from Rush only hurts the GOP.

So what?

Credibility is what.

Exactly. Michael J Fox has credibility. He actually has Parkinsons. He has been suffering from it for years. Some days are better and some are worse, but it will never go away until a cure is developed.

When Rush calls MJF's credibility into question, he only discredits himself, and that's what is harming the GOP. Thank you for helping me make my point.

I didn't and that wasn't even a good attempt at misdirection.

You don't have credibility when you are obviously pandering to the TV spot for political reasons. It's pretty simple. He was obviously faking it, no questions. If he didn't take meds "just for show", it's the same as faking. It all lacks credibility. At no other times is he shown to be so uncontrollable, so the Fox argument is moot.

Rush Limbaugh simple spoke what everyone else was thinking.



Anything past the fact that Michael J Fox allowed himself to be puppeted for political purposes is nothing more than fodder.

You don't have credibility when you are obviously pandering to the TV spot for political reasons. How can he lack credibility when he actually does have Parkinsons? It's been diagnosed for years. It's pretty simple. He was obviously faking it, no questions. And you know this as a fact, without doubt, no questions asked, because of your firsthand knowledge, your extensive medical training or your personal experience with Parkinsons disease? If he didn't take meds "just for show", it's the same as faking. Hardly the same as a healthy actor faking Parkinsons symptoms. MJF actually has Parkinsons but can afford ridiculously expensive medication to live a fuller life. Even if they filmed him on a bad day or if he went off meds for a couple of days to demonstrate what it's like, his condition is still real. It has not gone away and will only get worse over time. It all lacks credibility. At no other times is he shown to be so uncontrollable, so the Fox argument is moot. You and Rush haven't seen him at all other times. He takes medication to reduce symptoms and does multiple takes on set to get the scenes right for his acting career.

Rush Limbaugh simple spoke what everyone else was thinking. Not everyone else ... just those offended by the political import of the tv spot. A lot of people were thinking, omg I had no idea parkinsons made you shake like that. I'm sure some people even did some research and discovered that Parkinsons can be even more severe than the symptoms MJF displayed on camera.

Anything past the fact that Michael J Fox allowed himself to be puppeted for political purposes is nothing more than fodder. If he believes in the need for stem cell research, he's an activist ... not a puppet. You may as well call Christopher Reeve a puppet for pushing spinal cord research or Yul Brynner for asking people to stop smoking back in the 80s as he died from lung cancer.

MJF is asking for help on a real medical condition. He sees hope in embryonic stem cell research and wants to overturn the ban upheld by the current administration. Rush Limbaugh and other republican pundits aren't going to help him, so of course he's working with the democrats.

That this is all happening in a political environment doesn't discredit him or the need for a cure. Politics is the only venue to modify or remove the political moratorium on embryonic stem cell research.

Learn comprehension skills. You asked the question.

He has no credibility. He lost credibility for anyone with the disease because he flopped all over the place in a manner inconsistent with anything else he has been shown to do anytime prior to or since that one political ad.

Ever think that it might have taken more than one take to get it right?

It's ludicrous to assume that it's legit.
