Could Limbaughbe more of a pig?

[Lucky... 0]

Anyone see Limbaugh making fun of Michael J Fox wiggling around? He was saying that as Fox was plugging a Democratic candidate, he was overselling his "wiggle."

If a Dem did something as low I would speak out against them, but I believe the Repubs will not.

Hey, look at that lod lady, she's having a hard time crossing the road; let's go mock her walking accross the street. How can anyone even give any credence to that pig? He proclaims druggies should me flushed down the shitter, then is revealed as one, then get scaught again and is let go. Now he's off to defame a guy that has had Parkinson's for sometime and actully has stayed away from the spotlight due to his embarassment. Right Limbaugh, he gave up a 100 million $ career becuase he was faking. RIght, he's faking..... Someone stick a slug in him (Limbaugh) will they?

The Repub mouthpieces are squirming. Hey, you've had the wheel for almost 40 years, deal with it; no one keeps it forever. What baffles me is that it took 8 years of Bush for voters to figure things out.

Limbaugh has a long history of criticizing and making fun of people with illness as well as being poor, any color other than white and anyone who is not a neo-nazicon. He has made fun of people dying of AIDS. He is a racist. He is a dope fiend.
Watching him flopping his arms, body and head in jest of Michael J. Fox is another reason to dispise this neo-nazicon puke.

Michael J. Fox Plunges Into Election
Oct 24, 8:41 PM (ET)

By JAKE COYLE

NEW YORK (AP) - The symptoms of Parkinson's disease that all but ended Michael J. Fox's acting career are making him a powerfully vulnerable campaign pitchman for five Democrats who support stem cell research.

In 30-second TV ads for Rep. Benjamin L. Cardin, who is running for the Senate in Maryland, Senate candidate Claire McCaskill in Missouri and Wisconsin Gov. Jim Doyle, Fox shakes and rocks as he directly addresses the camera, the effects of his disease clearly apparent.

In the McCaskill ad, which has been viewed by more than 1 million people on YouTube.com, Fox tells voters, "What you do in Missouri matters to millions of Americans. Americans like me."

Fox was considering appearing with several political candidates who support stem cell research around the country.

Celebrities have a long history of supporting political candidates. But there's no question that Fox, who campaigned for John Kerry in the 2004 presidential race, is uniquely suited as a spokesman for embryonic stem cell research, which some scientists believe could aid in discovering treatments or cures to Parkinson's and other diseases.

"The reason that he's powerful is that he's comparatively young," says Kathleen Hall Jamieson, director for the University of Pennsylvania's Annenberg Public Policy Center. "As a result, a lot of people in that age range can look at him and say, 'If that can happen to him, it can happen to me.'"

Jamieson notes that the issue of stem cell research has the potential to be an advantage to Democrats in the upcoming midterm elections since polls have shown the majority of Americans favor some form of stem cell research. The risk, she adds, is that the ads could appear as using Fox's hopes for a cure for political gain, as some claimed was the case when the paralyzed actor Christopher Reeve lobbied for stem cell research before his death in 2004.

Parkinson's disease is a chronic, progressive disorder of the central nervous system that leaves patients increasingly unable to control their movements. In his ads, Fox shows a remarkable nakedness that recalls Dick Clark's appearance last Dec. 31 on ABC's "New Year's Rockin' Eve," displaying the effects of his debilitating stroke a year prior.

Fox was diagnosed with Parkinson's in 1991 and revealed his condition publicly in 1998. In 2000, the "Spin City" and "Back to the Future" star quit full-time acting because of his symptoms and founded the Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson's Research, which has raised millions of dollars.

He has since acted sporadically in smaller roles, such as in a several-episode guest appearance earlier this year on ABC's "Boston Legal," playing a business tycoon with cancer. For that role and others, Fox generally has sought to control his movements, though his illness was evident. He told The Associated Press in January that one long scene was physically taxing and that because of Parkinson's disease, he "can't show up with a game plan."

In the same interview, Fox said he felt sympathy for Clark, who received a mixed reaction for his New Year's appearance.

Similarly, some have criticized Fox's ads as exploitive. Conservative radio commentator Rush Limbaugh claimed Fox was "either off his medication or acting" during the ad.

Others defend Fox's aggressive campaigning for a Parkinson's cure.

Dr. John Boockvar, a neurosurgeon and assistant professor at Weill Cornell Medical Center at New York's Presbyterian Hospital, called Limbaugh's claim that Fox was acting "ludicrous." Boockvar said those with Parkinson's have "on" and "off" spells.

"If there is one single disease that has the highest potential for benefit from stem cell research," Boockvar said Tuesday, "it's Parkinson's."

How is it, my dear friends, that when he decided to do this commercial that he stayed off of his meds in order to magnify the effects of the disease, yet when he's got an acting job, he's as steady as he can possibly be. Sounds pretty phony to me.

I couldn't agree more, he's a faker - he threw away his career to be a ringer for the Dems. Fuck me.

Think about this, if he was so able to medicate and act well enough then why didn't he do so? He isn't acting at all to my knowledge, and if he has bit parts they're insignificant. He was a 20M per movie guy, why, if he's faking did he quit right in the midst if his disease..... hey, did you hear Christopher Reeves was faking too? Yea, he was a rigner for teh Dems as well. Get real dude.

Now, let's go back to defending Foley....

Like most people, I have read interviews and seen him on talk shows where he has said it is extremely difficult for him to do most things including acting, which takes hours to do a simple scene.
Also, due to your take on people who have AIDS, I am not your friend.

And they wonder why their reputation is that of incompassion. Seriously, to all Repubs and Libertarians, no one is fooled when you would take the food and medical care from those who are poor. Especially to the fundie righties, God and Jesus (for those who believe) might have a special place in hell for you if you move against social welfare that could end or curtail suffering. We know that in most cases it's just an ideolgy of convenience.

Well, in order to elevate yourself above the rest, I suggest that you go out, bust your hump, and then give it away to someone so that they can't possibly call you selfish.

I can't ever remember personally taking food or medical help from the "poor."

From what I've seen in the grocery store, some of these lard asses on food stamps seem to be eating better than me. Go figure.

Using Gods name in vain will surely get you a seat on a flight to Hell.
Oh, and by the way I, long ago, stopped being angry at myself and angry at those whom I once considered to be less than myself. It took a little bug to bring me down to earth and to see that all humans are the same and that true compassion begins within ones self. There might come a day when you find yourself in the very shoes of those you constantly belittle. It is your attitude towards the poor (unless you know a persons story it is less than human to judge and most certainly not the christian way), your attitude towards women (woman are by far the most beautiful amongst all that is on this planet), the ill (compassion is what Jesus preached but not what you seem to practice), the downtrodden (the majority of those who are down need help by those who are on their feet, not kicked. Most would rather be standing on their own and the way to get them there is to provide services that are designed to do just that. It is not an handout but, an investment in building a better society) that angers me. The attitude that a person who falls on hard times should not be giving service that will better them and off of any such service is against all that is good in America and the world. Try being a better person and help those in need as there may come a day when that very person might come to your aid.

I've said it before. How many people out there standing at the stop light that they know jambs up traffic, with their little sign would really go to work if you offered them a real job?

If I choose to support or help the "less fortunate" that should be my personal decision.
No one should have the right to demand that I give up what I have rightfully earned by the sweat of my brow to give a free ride to anyone who will not, or even, cannot work.

Honestly, because of the burden that is put on my demograpic[single white male] by the IRS, I work only as much as I need to to keep my head above water. I'm just not going to waste my time doing something, labor wise, that doesn't provide a return.

If this country became socialist, they'd get even less out of me. After all, some rich man could give me his money.

I do bust my hump, and I don;t want to directly give my money to the poor, but I want my government to distrivute money from the rich and redirect it away from militaty contractors. If I become rich, I might have your attitude, but I don;t think so, but as an objective person I want the prro to have a chance, have basic medical, etc...

It's YOUR attitude toward anyone disadvantaged that is abhorent. In a poetically justifyable twist of fate, it is sometimes the people who say 'fuck welfare' who often end up using it, relying on it. Then they become the biggest liberals around.

Oh, and male, yea, the female tax table is so much more desireable. Maybe that explains why there are far more male to female gender reassignments than there are female to male; they want the write-off. After reading this, I feel like I've lost a few IQ points.

I would gladly help someone with a hand up. If I found someone seriously making an effort to learn a trade or skill, I very possibly would invest in their lives. I probably wouldn't just give them cash because it too easy to spend it on anything.

I'd probably purchase some quality tools for them.

If they sold or pawned them, it would be game over.

There are many able bodied people[I continue to remember New Orleans] who intentionally have few skills, and no desire to pull their own weight just because someone isn't going to pay them $40 an hour. They suck the system dry for those who truly need it.
These are the ones that piss me off, and the ones that liberal politicians love to have in their pocket.

I just don't see a lot of disdain on your part for willful slackers, and believe me, they are the biggest part of the problem, not the exception.

So, let me get this straight, you are willing for the govt. to rob people of their hard earned cash to give it to someone who won't work, but not to build up a solid military that can protect you from the world's scumbags?

By the way, the money in military contracts gets put back into the economy in the form of wages. Sure, some of it is squandered. It looks like free money to some people. Ever hear of welfare abuse? Where's your complaint about that waste?
