Rush Limbaugh Mimicked Michael J. Fox's Parkinson's Disease

Oxycontin Moron



He is just angry that he had to illegally get pills and Michael J Fox can get them legally

For getting such special treatment he mocks as only a very ignorant person can

He has an ear condition for a reason

When his ears worked he didn't hear

soon it will be his eyes-he has them but he sees not

Let him face the truth before the truth convicts his cold spirit


A amster of hypocrisy and greed for his own comfort

Disgusting

Many Parkinsons people are as bad and far worse than what Mr Fox demonstrated-rush obviously specds too much time on the gulf course and behind in his safe little booth-to understand reality

soon he will not escape his perversities

Ive said before and Ill say it again Rush Limbaugh is a fucking piece of trash. FUCK HIM!! MJ Fox is a brave man. He stood up for a candidate he belives and then the Republicans send out thier attack dogs after him.

we need an icon with Rush and Goebbels together. They both were radion pimps for war crazed dicators and told the Big lies to their their idiot trogdolyte listeners.

No offense taken. I do a lot of research on many different subjects, but I'll be the first to admit I don't know everything. I honestly thought I heard one of the news stations say Michael hadn't taken his meds to show the effects of his disease. I must have misheard or misunderstood what was said.
Nevertheless, even if the jerky movements are caused by the medications, it still shows first-hand evidence of what a person with Parkinsons disease goes through.

It all comes down to ideology.

Dems: It's okay to kill a fetus as long as it may potentially save lives in the future.

Reps: It's wrong to take a life even if it means condemning others to a lifetime of sickness.

Each individual must make their decision of weather it's okay to kill an innocent to save others.

It's funny how Dems think we are sacrificing soldiers in war and that it is not worth it (Even though the soldiers made a consious decision to enlist), but are willing to murder innocent fetus to use in scientific experiments to see if it is even possible to relieve some of the symptoms.


Dems market stem cell research as a cure for problems, when there has not been one case in which a doctor has taken stem cells to cure anyone of a disease.

actually stem cells no longer have to be taken from foetuses.

The end of these problems may be in sight. Within the last two months, three different sets of researchers have announced new sources of stem cells which may have sufficient properties in common with ESCs to allow for stem cell research to proceed unhindered. Two of the groups have independently come up with the same alternative source for a working stem cell replacement– testicles. The third has come up with something completely different.

In March of 2006, Gerd Hassenfuss and a team of researchers from Georg-Auguste University in Gottingen, Germany published a paper in the journal Nature. In it they detail the development of what they call "multipotent adult germline stem cells" (maGSCs). Working from spermatogonial (sperm-producing) cells obtained from the testicles of adult mice, the German team has successfully produced several lines of cells that mimic the abilities of ESCs. They can survive in culture, and they can be coaxed into becoming virtually any kind of mature tissue, a trait known as pluripotency. Most importantly, since they derive from an adult source, the ethical issues surrounding embryonic cultures become irrelevant.

The German team is already beginning to expand their research to human spermatogonial cells, using volunteers already undergoing testicular biopsies as part of IVF treatment. Given their achievement with the mouse cells, they are confident of their eventual success.

Well 126953 - You are Wrong!
He did apologize. Look it up, before you speak next time.

"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."

"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."

you total wanker, (like limbaugh) the meds are what make you shake!!

do a little readn, then flap the gums.

How about an Icon of Rush's performance on his show. Then it can be used every time Limburger puts his head up his ass.

It's so hard to understand the disease if it doesn't affect your life and to have a "person" who should know better go out on the public airwaves and tell this lie .... he needs to be stopped. The FCC goes after people for stupid stuff, why not something like this?

Are you stupid or what? We need a cure for this horrible disease, not band-aids.

Limbaugh said Fox was shilling for the Democrats. Rush ought to know, since he's a blatant shill for Repubicraps.

Limbaugh needs to donate about 100 million to start a center for the addidcted.

not everyone has his money to kick an addiction,.

Finally Rush to Fox

Tardive Dyskinesia commonly happens on those kinds of meds-just like it does on anti psychotics and others the pharmies(sorcerers) push with the help of FDA and DEA and people who profit like rumsfield, cheney,, bush etc...


I have been in the medical field for 30+ years and I have seen enough, know enough and talked to enough to know some of these posters are simply worried about their glass icons and party rubbish


To the poster who tried to sound educated-try again I am not impressed

Rush is a pompous, souless, big-mouth, waste of space

Remember all the hoopla about him going deaf? Apparently that was just a pathetic cry for attention

Fuckin' fat Nazi bastard

OP 150288 better research some more or pull away from the books and go to about 10 hospitals and tell us all about it


You remind me of folks who saw my Mom and wouldn't let their kids come over because she was a drunk


idiots-she had Myadthenia Gravis and wasn't drunk at all but because of ignoramuses like you she had to carry a card in her wallet that stated,"I am not drunk, I suffer from a disease called Myasthenia Gravis and my body and inability to control myself or losing all muscle function makes me appear drunk


Get real bonzo, my sister in law has MS and Isuppose on your research you have it all figured out

disgusting trying to blame the victims again I see-it will not work and likely you will be cursed with such a disease

watch and see oh great one-watch and see

correct spelling so you can
RESEARCH
Myasthenia Gravis

They were not cruel. According to some in Micheal's book what a lucky man, or something like that, he stated that he stopped taking his meds before testifying before the senate committee so they could not only hear about the disease but see it as well. Did he make a decision to do the same for the commercial, I do not know, but as you can see if he did it was a brilliant move, look at the sympathy he got!!!

I like what Glen Beck said about it, step back from the emotions and politics and do what is right, Glen Beck has a daughter that stem cell research may help, but he is against it because it is wrong, you go Glen. Rush simply said he was acting or off his meds, which is probably true.

I am sorry he has a disease but if the only way to cure it is killing fetus I am against the cure.

To the secular poster who says christians care more for fetus than an adult, you are a little slow, there is no difference. One is born the other not, they are still living human beings and I will never be for their murder!!!

If you do not like what I say, cool, you do not have to.

THIS OPINION IS JUST THAT, THIS IS NOT TO BE FORCED ON ANYONE. Make your own choices and stick to them. I gladly give you that right.

Not all believers what to convert the world. I realize there are poeple who do not wish to change or be converted, to you I say, Carry On.

Just curious

The only time I liked Rush was when the klintoons were in office.

I can't stand him now.

I wish he would go after Bush the same way he did the klintoons.

I think of all the crap Bush has pulled and boy if the slime klintoons had done half of what Bush has now done Rush would have been on radio 12 hours a day.

I keep saying it over and over the repukes and demcraps are worthless evil rat bastards

If you were talking to me look at what I said:

I am sorry he has a disease but if the only way to cure it is killing fetus I am against the cure.
See the word IF. Just in case you were referring to me.

You are completely ignorant.

NOT taking meds for Parkinson's has the REVERSE effect. By not taking the medication, a patient instead goes very stiff, there are NO jerking movements. TAKING the medication makes a patient SHAKE.

I hope rush dies a painful death soon,
Rush was busted heading overseas with viagra to have sex with minors. he is a prime example of a neocons pedo.

Parkinson's tends to be more severe and aggressive in younger people (and is terminal), that's one reason MJF sways. He's just trying to help those who will come after him by showing the full effects of it. Rush digs himself in deeper and deeper.

Exactly. But this is lost on the drones who listen to and follow him.

Rush is a scumbag, no doubt. But do you have any sort of real evidence of this pedo accusation or are you a scumbag, too?

Well, just to stick my nose in here..

I don't like Rush.. I am a Neal Boortz fan.. I really am a libertarian you know..

I am a fan of Mikey Fox... Teen Wolf, Back to the Future, Family Ties, the list marches on... from costaring with James Woods... to sleeping with Supergirl..

So far, I am not sure what to believe about the medication.. does taking it make you shake... does not taking it make you shake...

Either way, it is clear that Fox did something to his medication before filming the spot. His story, his choice how to portray it. The man has been in front of a camera before.

Rush wasn't trying to be mean to Fox.. I don't think.. I think he was trying to derail Fox's message.

He did it the wrong way.

The right way is to point out that ESR has never produced a single viable cure for anything while adult stem cell lines have produceed several cures... and are looking to be the more viable of the two.

The right way is to point out that you or I or Micheal J. Fox or Rush Limbaugh can research ESC all they like.. it is not illegal in any way shape or form. In fact, many universities are currently working very hard with ESC lines.

The right way is to put up countering opinions from other celebrities that do not LIE like the ones do in the current counter-ad.

One of the few things I do not like about the right is the way that they campaign... not because they are mean spirited...

because they are fucking incompetant.

I think he was referring to the Viagra (legal quantities?) found in his luggage after making a weekend trip to the Dominican Republic. It seems that country is lax toward child prostitution (a very poor country that turns to any means to make money)... the inference being Rush went there for shady purposes.

I've heard nothing of this since this occurred. Any mmisstatements made, please correct.

...lets look at the entire picture here.

Mr. Fox came from Canada MANY MANY years ago. After several years he could not return to Canada because NOT being a US citizen he was not paying taxes here, or in Canada.

If he returned to Canada, he would have to pay taxes on all he had earned here. After all those years of earning BIG dollars here in the US, and after he became too ill to work, he bacame a citizen in 2000 when he needed to be a citizen to have his NPO (non-profit organization).

I'm not saying it's not a good cause, but I think if you don't like the way we run our country... Canadian GO HOME!

He has BY FAR been treated better in this country medically han he would have EVER been treated in Canada.
