There's a storm of controversy over a political campaign ad made by actor Michael J. Fox. Conservative radio host Rush Limbaugh is accusing Fox of exaggerating his Parkinson's disease symptoms. "He's either off his medication or he's acting. He is an actor after all," Limbaugh said on his nationally syndicated radio show. Fox made the ad for Missouri Democratic Senate candidate Claire McCaskill who supports stem cell research. But Limbaugh told his radio and internet audience he believes the ads are misleading. "He is using his illness to mislead voters there's a cure," Limbaugh said. Limbaugh also attacked INSIDE EDITION for broadcasting part of the campaign ad. The attack on Fox is surprising because he gained widespread public sympathy over his struggle with the disease. Fox has admitted not taking his medication before some public appearances, including an appearance before congress in 1999. He later told ABC News' Diane Sawyer he wanted to show lawmakers what Parkinson's was like. A spokesman for her opponent, senator Jim Talent said the attacks are false and that he "supports...stem cell research that doesn't involve cloning or destroying a human embryo." insideedition.com
