So, apparently Limbaugh’s reaction to Fox pushed the Missouri issues over the top. Embryonic stem cell research passed, along with McCaskill. The real issues were wholly lost in an emotional reaction. Embryonic stem cell research has not produce one positive result. It’s connected with huge liberal government grants, supported by Abortionists and the ACLU. Adult stem cell research has provided many cures already. And the proposition in Missouri, which passed, is really about cloning possibilities.

All this was lost on the reaction to Limbaugh. [It was LOST on Limbaugh as well!]

So, who is familiar with the effects of Parkinson’s Disease? Who can recognize them? Janet Reno had a bad case of it. I had a piano teacher that had it, and a special friend from college days that has it now. It generally produces a trembling, because the muscles are flexing involuntarily.

I for one have never seen any effects like those displayed by MJFox. That’s a simple truth. I don’t know what Rush is familiar with, or isn’t, in the way of Parkinson’s symptoms.

I think many people are over-reacting to Rush’s reaction. Ignorance on all sides, perhaps. I think what really offended Rush was the idea that someone would display his ailment as a political ad. Now even disease is politicized! “Vote for this candidate, and I’ll be healed” sort of thing. I find that quite offensive, myself.

But, sometimes, offense is articulated inaccurately. We express outrage over the wrong thing, or a side thing, and miss this point or that…

MJFox has a perfect right to say whatever he wants, and to campaign for whomever he wants, in whatever way he wants. But should disease make him invulnerable to personal criticism?

This is Ann Coulter’s point about liberals using “victims” as shields against any argument against the victim’s political advocacy.

Seems low down to me. I would have commented on the MJFox situation, too. I would have said things differently, however. Maybe even different things.

Most Americans do not understand the Constitution. To most Americans, it is just an “old” piece of paper. With that kind of attitude, it is no wonder that we are paying for every conceivable “program” put forward by Congress.

Rush couldn’t stick with the facts, because the party that he is a mouth piece for is just as guilty of overstepping the constitutional authority granted to the government. A 14+ trillion dollar debt proves that. Not to mention that the “conservative” President Bush has spent 4 times as much on “socialist” programs that are unconsitutional than Bill Clinton did in his 8 years of bankrupting America. It really is just a matter of whose ox is being gored.

I very much agree here, Ilana. Limbaugh’s attack on Fox is unwarranted and disgraceful.

While I normally have scant sympathy for Hollywood Marxists and their endless political campaigns, Mr. Fox deserves some basic decency here. He suffers form a serious disease, first and foremost. Moreover, Mr. Fox has not been a particularly ‘activist’ Hollywood type in any case. I think he was even once known as a ‘Hollywood Conservative’ – though it’s difficult to determine what exactly what that means in light of the Governernator Aaahnodt’s supposed “conservatism.” (Somewhere to the right of Tovarishchi Lenin and Trotsky, I suppose.)

One would think that in light of Limbaugh’s own addiction problems with Oxycontin, that he’d be a bit more reluctant to resort to claims of this nature. Worse yet, Limbaugh’s horrible behavior may well have cost Jim Talent his MO Senate seat. Talent isn’t a bad GOP Senator, and he’s certainly far better than his Dhimmicrat Marxist opponent posing as a “moderate.”

Oh well, there is a reason, after all, that the Republicans are known as “the stupid party.”
