Summary: Rush Limbaugh accused actor Michael J. Fox, who has been diagnosed with Parkinson's disease, of "exaggerating the effects of the disease" in a recent campaign advertisement for Missouri Democratic Senate candidate Claire McCaskill. Limbaugh added that "this is really shameless of Michael J. Fox. Either he didn't take his medication or he's acting, one of the two."

Why do Conservatives Love this guy so much?
Cause LIMBAUGH is THIER dirty little mouthpiece.
Saying the mean spirited things they can not say for fear of thier careers.
But Rush can say it for them.
Because it can be said that RUSH is just in showbiz. he sells advertising.
But Rush must be saying what is in the CONSERVATIVES HEARTS because they LOVE him.
I have heard callers refer to him as "the last AMERICAN PATRIOT"
LOL

not taking meds to illustrate effects of disease is not playacting.
I took care of MS patient for about 18 months.
Full time live in attendent.
You are in health care you have seen the effects of meds.
Sometimes the meds are worse than the symptoms....i.e steroids.
I am not medical person.
I was just nuts and bolts guy.
But the spasms from MS and the effects of the disease are very rough on the victim.
You have seen spasms in paras and quads and others with neuro-muscular diseases.
You know what I am talking about.

Yeah, Limbaugh's toxic-waste dump of a mouth and vast desert of arid space he calls a brain makes him a 'real peach' of a guy. As he spreads his hatred, lies, and bigotry over the airwaves, he helps dehumanize our society and only generates more hatred, lies, and bigotry.
If you don't agree with his conservative propaganda, you're considered a "wacko" and insulted, demeaned, and degraded. Just as the Nazi-inspired propagandists convinced otherwise intelligent, decent Germans to believe in a 'final solution', Rush Limbaugh's vile spewing will ultimately convince some very bright, responsible Americans that it might be acceptable to abuse, torture, or even kill anyone who doesn't subscribe to the "conservative culture" Limbaugh so blatantly promotes. So, if his drug-infested garbage mouth continues to spit out political venom, it will soon be "okay" to kill homosexuals, Hispanics, African Americans, liberals, homeless people, the aged and disabled, the terminally ill, welfare recipients, and anyone else Limbaugh deems "unacceptable" in his demented mind.
Of course, Limbaugh will defend to the death his prescription-pill-popping buddies, pedophiles, conservatives, white collar criminals, alcoholics, wife beaters, bad-check writers, liars, cheats, thieves, corporate chief executives, war-mongering military-industrial complex millionaires, conniving lawyers, con artists, corporate welfare recipients, tax dodgers, and all others whom he admires, respects, and appreciates. -RKO-

Rush Limbaugh makes mistakes. There is no question about that. That was not his first mistake and it will not be his last. He is on the air 3 hours a day and he is going to comment about things when he does not have all the facts.
Rush Limbaugh is also wrong about many things. Some of his commentary on other issues are just plain wrong.
Full disclosure for me. I have a father-in-law who has had Parkinson's for 10 years and I can attest that Micheal J Fox was not acting during those commercials. That is exactly the condition of my father-in-law and he takes his medicine properly.
Rush does deserve some credit, When he was properly informed about the Micheal J Fox situation, he aplogized.
When you listen to Rush Limbaugh you have to remember one thing. He will tell you that he is only telling you the truth, but what percentage of the truth is he telling you?
On some issues Rush is telling you 100 percent of the truth. On other issues he is telling you only 5 percent of the truth. You must be an informed consumer to know when he is telling you 100% of the truth vs. when he is telling you 5 % of the truth.
Rush will never say "This is my 5% of the truth." You have to learn elsewhere. Rush will only say this is the truth. He is not lieing, You have to be educated to listen to him correctly.
The reason Rush is important is that sometimes no-one else anywhere in the media will tell you that 5% of the truth, and that 5% of the truth can be very important.

I am a conservative . I am also a veteran , a mother and white so judge me harshly if it makes you feel better to lump all conservatives together.
I don't love Rush Limbaugh - to tell the truth I don't know anything about the man but what the media tells me .
The media also told me that Michael J Fox wrote in his latest book " that there were times , such as when he testifed before Congress- that he did not take his medication".
I don't know which to believe so - I try common sense. Something really lacking in the world at times.

I would say Rush Limbaugh would be dancing as he gets paid quite a large sum for the ridiculous Symbolization.

Michael J. Fox has admitted that he purposely misses his meds before a public appearance to exaggerate the effects of his disease so that others can see. He uses it to make a point.
Rush simply exposed that admission further.

Fans of Rush: There are people in this world who have no respect for humans or others who are not like them. They cannot sympathize with anything outside themselves.
Rush Limbaugh: He is also one of the above heartless people. Yet, he also knows that when he makes grandiose statements like that, it keeps him in business and making loads of money. The more attention we draw to him, the more he wins.
Forget about that loser. Rush Limbaugh is a big, fat idiot.

You know I like Rush L. But I dont think that anyone needs to attack anyone else just to win some points with people. All Parties do this, just turn on your tv and it bothers me. It makes me think that thats the only way they can win. Its not jut one person or one political party it is everyone. As far as MJF I dont think he is acting when It comes to Parkinsons because I work in healthcare and that is what this disease does to people.

Rush is so jacked up on pain pills he's probably hallucinating most of the time. The rest of the time he's into sex tourism and eating viagra by the bottle while he phucks underage whores.
