Do you think Senator Talent was cruel in saying that Mickael J. fox was faking in front of the cameras? I do! What a horrible thing to say! Sometimes politicians are so focussed on winning that they would say anything! What does his condition have to do with being a republican or a democrat?. The man has shown a lot of courage and is still showing it!

Hey guys~ Michael J. Fox wasn't acting or faking in the ads... & of course he wasn't exaggerating... Parkinson's disease affects movement (motor symptoms) so that's why Michael J. Fox was terribly shaking & couldn't control his movement... What a horrible thing to say to people who has Parkinson's disease...
Shame on Senator Talent & Rush Limbaugh... Boo~

I'm sorry Michael A. Fox has Parkinson's . It still does not give him carte blanche to mislead the public into thinking a democrat is going to fix the disease . No more than John Edwards when he said elect Kerry & Christopher Reeve will walk again . Either Fox was fooled into believeing stem cell research will cure Parkinson's -or - he just said it to help democrats . I wonder how many turned down the roll for that phony commercial ? Why didn't Fox tell you if stem cells were injected into a human , they would cause brain tumors ? Rats are dying from those injections . Fox mislead the American public because stem cell research is not considered for Parkinsons . If a handicap person suddenly announces something - does that automatically make it valid ? Democrats are users . It must have taken them many sleepness nights to come up with SOMTHING they can fool SOMEBODY into thinking they can can fix . Fox was a bad actor before he got sick .His acting isn't improving and neither is his sensibility .

Are you lying or just mistaken about Senator Talent? I haven't heard of him making any such statement and doubt that he ever would. Talent has a lot of class. Maybe you're thinking about Rush Limbaugh.
As for Michael J. Fox, many people believe he was exaggerating his symptoms for the media, or at the very least had gone off his medication. Many of us have seen people with advanced Parkinsons, most notably old Pope John Paul II before his death, and the Pope's symptoms were nowhere near so pronounced.

That sort of thing should not be bought into politics. Unless they are talking about stem cell research for conditions like Michael's then what right does he have to talk about him. He may be a supporter of one group or the other but you don't attack someone like that.
I think it is very cruel. I saw a little piece on Michael on the Aussie news the other night. I am shocked at how much his Parkinsons has taken a hold of him. There is no way he is faking it. My partner's uncle has Parkinsons' and it was exactly like looking at the Uncle.
Idiot politicians

I believe it was Rush Limbaugh who accused Michael J. Fox of faking his parkinson's disease.
A prescription drug addict HAS NO right to talk about anyone's disability and be condescending about it. Rush my overweight ignoramus Republican friend your life ain't over yet and how ironic it would be if you developed Parkinson's.
Fox is working on the behalf of stem cell research and supporting Democratic candidates. Ya know I think the GOP have stepped to a new low , but then they're all such' compassionate' conservatives aren't they. NOT

It only shows that Senator Talent doesn't know what Parkinson's disease does to the human body. Send him a medical journal and strongly recommend him to read it before he makes another statement about Parkinson

See Michael's commercial for Republican Arlen Spector; his video for McCaskill; Rush's video imitating how Fox was "faking" it.

Micheal J. Fox is a Democrat and all of his campaigning is for the benefit of Democrats. Secondly, if you watch the show Boston Legal, you would notice that Micheal Fox did not have near the tremors while acting that he displayed on the political advertisement. He had even admitted to going off his meds before testifying before Congress to enhance his tremors so his testimony would carry more weight. Is it that much of a stretch of the imagination to think he may have done the same thing before these ads. He has a terrible disease, and I feel for him, but there is absolutely NO indication from testing that fetal stem cells will offer him a cure. Adult stem cell therapy is helping control over sixty diseases already, but they have not been able to find any way at all to use fetal stem cells for a cure for anything,

Michael J Fox is a talentless little weasel.
When you suit up and go on the field, you are fair game to be critisized.
He is dishonest too.
He said Senator Talent opposes stem cell research. He ONLY opposes embryonic stem cell research. Michael left that rather important factoid out, didn't he. So Fox is misleading his audience by alluding that Talent opposes ALL stem cell research.
Also, Fox admitted and actually said, he deliberately does not take his meds to show more symptoms of his disease for an added influence. So it is extremely likely he didn't take his meds to try to further influence people, for this commercial, and that is shameful.
I will be doing my shakey bakey Michael J Fox impersonation from now on for fun!
Shameless misleading little weasel!
Hey, just because he has a handicap and tries to use it for gain, does not give him a "Free" pass, no way!

I don't think anybody no matter how good of an actor they are could fake something as horrible as Parkinson's disease. What a cruel thing to say. I believe in Karma very much and I think Senator Talent will be struck down with Parkinson's disease himself.
