liberal use of sick/disabled celebrities?

Question

why do democrats use sick or disabled people to get their agenda out, and then if someone disagrees with what the individual say, then the Dems accuse you of "attacking" the individual for being sick/disabled and being cruel. i have never seen the Reps do this. examples: cindy sheehan, max cleland, chris reeve, possibly michael j. fox. when the Dems *use* these people, you are expected to agree with *everything* they say or else you are "attacking" them and you have no morals, and youre cruel.
nice tactics these democrats use.
whats more is ill probably get these liberals who tell me that Reps dont care about sick/disabled people, which is worth about as much as the race card or class warfare. this overcompassion, or virtual overcompassion is wussifying America. i bet the Dems think we should have asked iraq if we can fight the war on terror on their land before we attacked, because its *nicer* that way.

dstr, theyre not doing it to get a cure, theyre doing it cuz theyre getting paid, thats the point of my question. if you do it out of your own will, YOU WOULDNT NEED BACKING FROM A POLITICAL PARTY!

Answer 1

It's really so sad that these liberals go flying off on a tangent without even reading enough to know what the hell they're talking about. This whole thing with Michael J. Fox is about EMBRYONIC STEM CELL RESEARCH. Not about other forms of stem cell research. Michael J. Fox has been quoted as saying that he purposly foregoes taking his medicine before appearing in these ads to AMPLIFY the effects of his disease. I am no right to lifer and I am a pro-choice Republican but EVERYTHING I READ ABOUT EMBRYONIC STEM CELL RESEARCH TELLS ME THAT USING THOSE CELLS LEADS TO TUMORS IN HUMANS. It's the worst form of stem cell use and placenta stem cells are supposed to be far superior.

Just give one of those jackass liberals a hint that maybe using aborted fetus's for this research is a bit unsettling to some people and they start pulling their hair and beating their chests. THEY DON'T HAVE A SINGLE CLUE ABOUT THE SUBJECT BUT EVERY ONE OF THOSE DONKEYS HAS AN OPINION.

Answer 2

From what I hear Rush has been talking about the Fox ad for a couple of days. Are you telling me that the reason he is doing that is not to try and discredit democrats and help the republicans? Talk about being hypocritical!
One more thing. A republican does NOT want to bring up the subject of Max Cleland. The man lost three limbs in Vietnam and later served in congress. In his reelection campaign the republicans compared him to OSAMA! How moral a tactic is that?

Answer 3

Please keep maligning Michael J. Fox and the like. Every time you do, it's another vote for the Democrats. Conservatives are getting scared and sloppy.

Those speaking out have their own opinions and are advocating their opinions independently. Your opinon that they are being used only shows your lack of faith in their ability to evaluate their own opinions and beliefs.

If the current administration cared so much about disabled people, it would not have drastically cut benefits to disabled veterans and disabled veterans hospitals.

Answer 4

all of them see themselves as sitting on the top of the socialist elites who will sometime rule us of a less than the Democratic Socialist party: -a million/11/40 4, democrat FDR’s address to Congress: “we've customary, in an attempt to speak, a 2d bill of Rights...” His new “rights” list lined: -the right to earn adequate to furnish adequate nutrients and garments and activity -the right of each and every relations to a good abode -the right to adequate clinical care and the prospect to achieve and experience good well being -the right to adequate protection from the business fears of old age, disease, twist of destiny, and unemployment -the right to a good education. many years till now this elitist democrat set forth his subversive socialist time table yet another elitist democrat proclaimed: “you at the instantaneous are not the following in straight forward terms to make a residing. you're the following to enable the international to stay more effective amply, with more effective creative and prescient, and with a finer spirit of desire and fulfillment. you're the following to toughen the international. You impoverish your self in case you forget this errand.” Wilson would were the founding father of the perverse idea of "multiculturalism," saying: “No u . s . a . is in good structure to sit down down in judgment upon the different u . s . a ..” on the instantaneous all of us comprehend that democrats want socialism over our structure: -2/4/10 Gallup poll: sixty one% of liberals have a good view of socialism. -6/2/11 Gallup poll: seventy one% of democrats want re-dispensing wealth. maximum socialist elites are, surely, wealthy, like Obama, Clinton, the Kennedys, Kerry, Pelosi, Clooney -- the entire rotten mob. yet they deserve their wealth, do not you comprehend? They experience for the negative.

Answer 5

Nobody was "using" Michael J. Fox or Cindy Sheehan. They chose to be spokepersons for their causes, and it just so happens that it's the Democratic politicians who support those causes. Your reference to "overcompassion" just proves that the term "compassionate conservatism" is an oxymoron.

Answer 6

Did you ever stop to think that maybe they're not being "used" but that they are in fact speaking out for what they believe in?

Check out the latest, Kevin Tillman;

EDIT; You have proof they're getting paid for it? Didn't think so. Kevin Tillman got paid for saying what he said? Didn't think so.

EDIT 2; To David_b below; You say liberals don't have a clue about embryonic stem cell research but you claim that it leads to tumors??? Who's clueless I ask?

Answer 7

It never ends with you people does it?
First you eventually defend Mark Foleys behavior by claiming the emails were not explicit..Oh they were by the way..Disgusting..And then that the kid was 18 so it was ok. He was 15 when the emails started.
Now you are actually defending that bloated wind bag for mocking someone with a disability. I mean its just amazing the mentality that you people have.

Answer 8

If you had the disease and the star power wouldn't you want to champion a potential cure...what the hell is the matter with you?
You sound like Rush...this is what America is so sick of ...the Christan rights brand of Compassionate conservatism is only skin deep.
EDIT:
By the way your logic is immature,naive,and uneducated

Answer 9

It is sad that disease is being politicized. I guess they'll try anything. I just hope Joe sixpack doesn't buy it without looking into the facts.

Answer 10

There's no defending Rush Limbaugh on this one. Sometimes, a position is indefensible, under western moral and ethical standards. Not to mention Christian principles.
