No it is about the lies that the commercial was based on and the fact that the democrats are using a disease for political gain by saying that the Republicans want people to die.

Are the Democrats so desperate that they are going after a talk show host for a perceived political gain. How did this get to be the big issue of the day. Rush is not running for anything.
I do not have any sympathy for Fox, he made a political commercial and that opened up to criticism. His celebrity status and illness do not shield him from criticism.

Good job, arcticchick...
Way to bring up a story that's more than two years old and took place in one small county in Tennessee and paint all Democrats out to be just like that.
So, when David Duke ran as a Republican in Louisiana, that means I can call all Republicans KKK sympathizers? By your logic, I can.
But you know what? I won't. Because I have a brain...unlike you.

The better question to ask is, when will the democrats quit taking advantage of people that are hurting/grieving to further their cause? Exploiting people and giving false hopes and plying on the emotions of people are not the means necessary to use if you have a legitimate position.

Do some research on this before you say something. That's shallow.
Read Mr. Fox's book. he said that when giving interviews he would not take his medicine to create an illusion of his disease.
Stem cell research, and cloning have not solved ANY medical issues to date. ADULT stem cell research has!
Some people believe that more tax dollars would solve their delima. When private funding has done more!

Yeah. After the dems went to all the trouble of rounding up victims and orchestrating duplicate ads in 8 eights exploiting drooling spastic people who alter their medication on purpose, the republicans really did a horrible thing by calling a spade a spade.

What else would you expect from a prescription drug addict (i.e., Rush Limbaugh). "This is your brain on drugs..." to quote that 90's commercial. So much for the party of "family values"...

Anti-Bush Political Flyer Draws Wrath of Special Olympics
By Susan Jones
CNSNews.com Morning Editor
October 14, 2004
(CNSNews.com) - Leaders of the Special Olympics say they are "astounded and appalled" by an anti-Bush political flyer being distributed in Tennessee.
It shows the head of President Bush superimposed on the body of a Special Olympics athlete; and it reads, "Even if you win, you're still retarded."
"We see this communication as an egregious, gratuitous insult to our almost 2 million athletes in over 150 countries around the world and a stunning affront to the more than 200 million people in the world who have intellectual disabilities," said Timothy Shriver, Special Olympics chairman and CEO in a statement.
"We cringe at the thought that any one of these capable and courageous athletes would ever have to endure the agony, embarrassment, pain and suffering that this flyer would certainly cause."
The Special Olympics said it hopes the people responsible for the "outrageous political advertisement" would come forward and "explain to the people of Tennessee and everywhere else why they would choose to denigrate the spirit, courage, and accomplishments of the Special Olympics athletes."
Shriver's statement noted that ignorance about mentally disabled people is common - among comedians, on America's playgrounds, and in society at large.
"Our commitment in this political season and in every other is to reverse this ignorance and bigotry and to replace them with the stunning realization that many people with intellectual disability are, in fact, among the most gifted within our communities," the statement said.
"There is no reasonable and legitimate defense of this hateful material," it concluded. "We would expect those responsible to make an abject public apology and a sincere, determined effort to clear the public domain of this offensive material."
Shriver is a nephew of the late President John F. Kennedy.
WBrian - A little touchy, aren't you? My point in posting this, you moron, was to prove that BOTH sides have their idiots. As for you thinking, spouting the BS you hear from mommy doesn't count as thinking.

conservative logic is... 3 liberals do something... they all do it...
a conservative radio host that MILLIONS of conservatives listen to on a daily basis does something, that doesn't represent THEIR party...
