<Rush is an entertainer. How come libs always bring out the sick and cripple to push their agenda and when the repubs critize that person you libs attack them. It's a tired old game you play.> He is an entertainer? Really?! And Michael J. Fox is...? He is definitely one of the more levelheaded people in the entertainment industry and is smart enough to not be used. He is just using his popularity as did Christopher Reeve. Actually, he is using the politicians. In a two party system there really is only one place to go. I have made two posts and you have painted me as a liberal. It's a tired old game you play ;-)... Come on, can you not realize that Rush's comments were completely out of line? You can be critical of the message but he was just being a complete ignoramus and rude. I know embryonic stem cell research is a touchy subject with many people but you just cannot debate the fact that embryos are discarded every single day from fertility clinics and barely a peep is heard from the right. You cannot keep fertilized embryos in stasis for eternity so if somebody wants to donate their's to research, what is the big deal? You just cannot make the debate black-and-white. Yes, I am for embryonic stem cell research even though it makes my businessman-turned-evangelical-pastor-father cringe LOL. The video is mostly accurate (the Patricia Heaton stuff is just scare tactics) and that is a more intelligent way of responding to the Michael J. Fox ad. Unfortunately, you know as well as me , Rush Limbaugh has a larger audience than a guy that played Jesus, a fumbling quarterback and a has been an actress.
