Michael J Fox & Rush Limbaugh

An opinion is just what that person thinks.. everyone is entitled to it. I don't think people should be bashed because of their opinions or beliefs.

Limbuagh is a bufoon and a liar. I wouldn't worry what he has to say. If Mr. Fox was exploiting his disease I say bully for him. There is nothing wrong with exploitation when used for a worthy cause. Even if he was"simulating" the effects of being off medicine so what? He was illustrating a point that a cure is possible and neccassary. Of course Rush has a right to say his opnion and I have a right to call him a jack-hole for his opinion. Freedom of speech doesn't protect our right to say something smart, it protects our right to say something stupid. Force

What a sad situation. I am sure if I was sick I would want everything possible to be done to help me.

I have not heard this, but what is wrong with Michael J Fox trying to help people see that Parkinsons is a serious disease, and what is wrong with trying to promote things to where there needs to be a Cure. What I do not understand, is why are so many people against this? It could also be a Cure for other things also.

I've not seen that. But that's sad. I know Michael J. Fox only wants to find a cure for his disease. Not just for himself, but for everyone else that has it as well & for those who might have it in the future. Why attack him for that?

Michael--ten stars (minimum) Rush--zip, zilch, zero

I've never had any use for Rush Limbaugh and I'm still of that opinion...maybe even more so. Michael J. Fox wants a cure for Parkinson's, not just for himself but for everyone who has it. I hope Rush Limbaugh gets more people turned against him and his hateful thoughts for this horrible display in attacking MJF. All I've ever heard RL do is attack people and never have heard him do anything positive. I can't understand why so many people listen to him and believe every word out of his mouth.

It is wrong for anyone to be bashed just because they are trying to get help finding a cure for a disease they have.Everyone wants to be cured and the only way to do it is to find the help to do it.

Rush Limbaugh is an egotistical exploiter of most things "good" and "progressive." He supports big money, power and elitism and would love to see the U.S. regress back to the landowner/peasane economic system. And so would Bush, Cheney and Rumsfield, in my not so humble opinion. What he said about Michael J. Fox is simply par for his course. He is as distasteful and inhumane as he's ever been.

I agree. It's disheartening that Rush Limbaugh would say such things about Michael J. Fox. It's one thing if you don't agree with the research with stem cell research, it's quite another to say such things about those supporting the research who have the disease. Thanks for the post!

And if Michael J Fox did purposefully act up in the commercials? Is that fair to us to have our emotions played on so he can get his preferred candidates in?

I heard and then saw Rush and Michael. I have never liked Rush and personally think he's a total a-hole. I thought that was cruel and a new low for Rush. He just doesn't know where to draw the line does he? We all say and joke about things that sometimes hurt people and don't mean to, but I don't think he's sorry at all. He probably likes the publicity. I am totally in agreement with Michael J. Fox about supporting stem cell research. It sounds like it could help so many people. I think Michael was very brave to appear as he did. I don't know too many people who would have the courage to do that. Hopefully this gives the subject of stem cell research more publicity. Hopefully a positive will come from a negative.
