[QUOTE=elucidator] Even if the timing of the ad’s taping is suspicious (and I agree that it could be, it being impossible to prove otherwise), so what? If Mr. Fox deliberately chose an intense “episode” to make his point, why is that wrong? (Unless, of course, he deliberately exaggerated the physical effects of his illness, which I am not prepared to enterain without something more substantial than innuendo.) He wants us to see how debilitating his condition can be. Why should he choose to minimize that debilitation and its consequent loss of dignity and control? Should he have deliberately chosen a _less_ intense point in time? To what end? That is no more honest that deliberately choosing otherwise, and would certainly weaken his point. So even if he did choose to film his ad under a particularly intense situation, so what? So long as its true, what difference does it make? [/QUOTE] is there anyone who disputes that, save a cure (currently unavailable), even if FOx isn’t ‘that bad’ right now, he will be in the future? he let you in on his own personal future. if you find it distasteful to observe, have some compassion for the man who has to experience it first hand. Rush is scum. ---

[QUOTE=Mince] I hear you. I really do. But I’m talking about venue. One shouldn’t introduce people to Parkinson’s in a campaign commercial in an attempt to curry votes, even if the candidate’s main focus is stem cells. It’s very unseemly. [/QUOTE] I find it much more repulsively unseemly that people are allowed to wander this country as ignorant and bigoted as Rush Limbaugh preaches to be, and yet their vote counts as much as mine does.

I feel like this is a terrible hijack, but how is Talent doing since his “I’m going to reverse my decision at the last minute now, since I’ve learned of this highly speculative technique of making non-viable embryos and I’m getting my ass kicked in the polls” thing? Has Fox’s video caused a bump for his opponent, or is it too soon to tell? ---

I was watching Scarborough’s show tonight and he seems to think that Rush’s attacks are actually backfiring on the Republicans. Scarborough (who is a Republlican) flat out predicted that it would cost Missouri the Senate race and intimated that Republicans behind the scenes want Rush to shut up because they think it’s just creating more sympathy for MJF. People are reflexively turned off by seeing somebody essentially mock a cripple. Michael J. Fox is also a personality that people tend to find very likeable and Rush’s attempts to paint him as calculating, manipulative and dishonest is a dog that won’t even lick its balls, much less go hunting. Fox’s interview with Katie Couric only made him look that much more sympathetic. ---

[QUOTE=Guinastasia] Which is why he was mimicing Fox’s movements. :rolleyes: You’re a real prick, you know that? Oh hey, I just remembered something-Rush doesn’t have any kids, so he’s definitely a selfish asshole. [/QUOTE] Wow, so instead of refuting any of my facts, you decide to attack me. I love it when people in The Pit just can’t come up with anything so they go with the either a) you’re a jerk or b) you’re an idiot. Why don’t you take a lesson from **Aholibah** and actually find something in my post that shows me I’m wrong and respond in a civil, factual manner? Oh, probably because you couldn’t but to make up for that you call me a prick. GG. [QUOTE=Aholibah] Assuming you and Rush are yammering about the Missouri thing, it’s not a bill, it’s a ballot initiative to amend the state’s constitution. And I’ve heard this argument that it’s really about creating a constitutional right to clone human beings and has nothing to do with embryonic stem cell research, and I simply don’t get it. Will someone with advanced reading comprehension please review [this link to the text of the initiative](http://www.sos.mo.gov/elections/2006petitions/ppStemCell.asp) and explain to me the basis of the assertion that this amendment legalizes human cloning and has nothing to do with stem cell research? This section, in particular, is a hurdle I’m having some trouble getting over in attempting to accept that assertion: [/QUOTE] The section you quoted is indeed dealing with stem cells, and I did not know that because I hadn’t read the ballot initiative. But what I’ve heard is that stem cell research is _already_ legal in Missouri, and going on in Universities across the state (according to Rush) so there’s nothing really on the ballot about it other than wording. I don’t know if he’s wrong or right on that, I’ll give him the benefit of the doubt because people can obviously fact check that. I think another point might be that the opponent to the candidate Fox spoke for is not against stem cells in any way, which is another reason the ad was misleading. ---

Yes, Rush Limbaugh has to keep trying even harder to prove what an insensitive, boorish, vulgar, moronic, worthless piece of shit that he is. He says he never saw Michael J Fox display those symptoms before? Mr Fox appeared before the US Congress for Christ’s sake !!! (and Fox was displaying the symptoms back then). Here is a video from a “Good Morning America” appearance. [![]( " - YouTube") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rkA1aN1osVk) Just because _Limbaugh_ never saw Michael J Fox display those symptoms (except for the political ad) he thought Fox was “acting”? Limbaugh reminds me of those dipshits that dismiss evolution because _they_ never see it occurring. Yes, the Universe was created specifically for them. :mad: Not because it is against the rules to wish death on anyone, I sincerely do NOT wish death on Rush Limbaugh. Perhaps poetic justice would be his becoming a victim of ALS (Lou Gehrig’s disease). Yeah I’d like that a lot !!! Maybe people could make fun of him. Oh and as a present, people should send videotapes, DVD’s, E-Mails, etc of Rush making fun of Michael J Fox. Michael J Fox has made a great many recent appearances and yet Limbaugh has the arrogance to say he never saw him? Maybe Rush was too busy watching Monster Truck Rallies, World Wrestling Federation death matches or Andrew Dice Clay movie marathons on the trailer trash network. What REALLY bothers me about that conservative cowardly prick is that when the chips are down, when all the cards are on the table, etc, he’ll be sure to “pussy out”. I’m sure mostly everyone here knows about the brave, courageous way he faced up to the Vietnam War. A pilonoidal cyst on his ass kept him from serving. Now it seems that cyst has enlarged, taken over 100% of his body and he is now a 100% asshole. :mad: As some of you may know, I have multiple sclerosis. Save the sympathy - I am ambulatory and work a full-time job. However, I do manage to be clumsy enough to allow Rush Limbaugh to have an endless supply of comedic fodder should I ever achieve any degree of fame and make a television appearance. I really feel like beating the shit out of Rush Limbaugh. Since I have MS, he’d consider it a fair fight. ---

[QUOTE=Squink] Ohh, the _proprieties_! I’m certain that Rush would have been a proud co-sponsor _if only_ Mr. Fox had invited him to help organize a proper Ice cream Social and Spazzer’s Ball.

I’m sure I don’t have to tell you that, especially in an election year, _anything_ is a possibility. ---

[QUOTE=Miller] How so? Fox is supporting that candidate, because that candidate supports what may be Fox’s best chance to be cured of his disease. As such, the effects of Parkinson’s are entirely valid information in deciding how to vote for that candidate. It’s an unpleasant truth, but opposition to stem cell research has politicized Fox’s disease. In effect, wether or not he should be cured is currently up for a vote. Shouldn’t the public get a good look at exactly what they’re voting on before they go to the polls? If, rather than a commercial for a candidate, it was a commercial for a bill that would increase funding for research into Parkinson’s, would you consider displaying the symptoms of Parkinson’s as “unseemly?” [/QUOTE] Whether or not Fox should be cured is _not_ the issue. I bet you will not find anybody on any side of the issue that does not agree that Fox should be cured. The manner in which he should be cured is the controversy. It might surprise you when I say I’m _for_ stem cell research/usage. But I find it difficult to believe that a candidate would not use Fox’s illness for leverage, given the chance. I believe the majority of those who even bother to vote are intelligent and informed enough to decide on the issue even absent an on-camera demostration of the horrors of Parkinson’s. Most people don’t need to be shown dead bodies to know that murder is wrong. They also do not need an illustration of a Grand Mal sufferer in a full seizure to know that epilepsy should be cured. ---

[QUOTE=OneCentStamp] I somehow doubt the [millions of people](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parkinson%27s_disease) who suffer from Parkinson’s disease, or whose loved ones are deterioriating before their eyes, give two shits about what you find unseemly. [/QUOTE] My grandfather suffered through Alzheimer’s for an extended period before he died; so your appeal to pity is meaningless in my world. Beyond a Google search for “Michael J. Fox and Parkinson’s” I don’t know how much exposure you’ve had to someone suffering from a neurologic condition. I know I’ve at least had the exposure of my grandfather. He, amongst others in my family, wanted stem cell research and (knock on wood) its subsequent cure more than anything. But I have a high degree of confidence in stating that he would not have approved using his disease state as a tool for securing such cure. He was a wise man and recognized that those who did not see the path to a cure would not be convinced by an on-camera display of the effects of his disease. > [@](#): > > Sure, they’re currying votes for a political campaign: the campaign of the candidate who’s more interested in helping find a cure for their disease than in stemming (sorry) the advance of medical knowledge with antiquated, ignorant biases That’s the key, isn’t it. If you really think that McCaskill is more interested in curing Parkinson’s than getting elected, you certainly may have standing. But you also must allow that she might do anything to accomplish _both_ tasks, including exploiting Fox’s disease to garner votes. Again, I _am not_ stating that she is exploiting Fox; but you must admit that it seems, in the least, a real possibility. And if someone doesn’t find this dubious, then I’m wasting keystrokes as no argument will be persuasive. ---

If he’s willing to use himself, his celebrity and his condition to get support for that agenda, then more power to him. In fact, when you think about it, he’s using McCaskill’s campaign as much as they’re using him.

All advocacy should be done by sympathetic able-bodied people who won’t offend anyone with spasms or drooling or tubes coming out of the base of their throats; nothing that would make anyone uncomfortable or anything.

From the Couric interview, [via Digby](http://digbysblog.blogspot.com/2006_10_01_digbysblog_archive.html): > [@](#): > > The irony is that I was too medicated. I was dyskinesic," Fox told Couric. “Because the thing about … being symptomatic is that it’s not comfortable. No one wants to be symptomatic; it’s like being hit with a hammer.”[…] > > Fox told Couric, “At this point now, if I didn’t take medication I wouldn’t be able to speak.” > > He said he appeared in the ad only to advance his cause, and that “disease is a non-partisan problem that requires a bipartisan solution.” > > “I don’t really care about politics,” Fox added. “We want to appeal to voters to elect the people that are going to give us a margin, so we can’t be vetoed again.” So it looks like: 1) Fox was taking his medication. 2) Fox would not be able to speak without taking his medication. 3) Fox sees himself as using McCaskill, not vice versa. 4) Rush Limbaugh is a little cunt of a person who has no compunctions about saying anything at all, as long as it goes towards a partisan point. 5) His defenders here lick the sweat off a dead man’s balls. 6) Patricia Heaton is a dumbass fuckface. 7) Katie Couric is a dumbass partisan conservative fuckface, whose ratings are in the toilet. (Okay, I did not see this particular interview, but I’ll take Digby’s review of it at his word until I can see it for myself.) He says of her performance in the web-based version of the interview: > [@](#): > > …listen to Katie Couric push him over and over again on the burning question of whether he manipulated his medication and ask him whether he should have re-scheduled the shoot when his symptoms were manifested as they were. And she does it while she’s sitting directly across from him watching him shake like crazy. Her questions imply that it was in poor taste or manipulative as if he can magically conjure a film crew to catch him in on of the fleeting moments where he doesn’t appear too symptomatic. ---
