Michael J. Fox Is Not Infallible; He's Just the Latest Victim Used by the Democrat

THANKS TO RUSH: the Pubs just put out an ad refuting the Prop. which is misnamed on stem cell (actually it is a cloning issue) by using many famous Mo. sports stars in the ad. Claire has used Fox and vice versa and the ad he made is running in Md. and Minn. too. Hopefully, the Gop will rebut it very quickly.

Mr Fox is saying, in essence, that his life is more valuable than a baby.

_____________________________

You have backed into the ultimate truth of socialism: The sacrifice of the disenfranchised is the cost of achievement. Welfare is the preferred tool of socialists because it keeps an entire class in government mandated poverty and makes the resources they would squander available to those worthy of them.
For a socialist there is only so much of anything to go around. Keeping a large segment of the population from sharing desirable goods is vital to maintaining an elite class. North Korea is the current quintessential example.
Slavery, class warfare, genocide and racism are all tools of socialism. This is not to say that other forms of government have not tried these evils, only that socialist states have been most effective in perpetrating them.
The sacrifice of embryonic parasites is a fundamental tenent of socialism. The unborn have no intrinsic value. They are not human. Any use to which this mass of protoplasm can be put justifies and elevates abortion to a moral good. Controlling the growth of undesirable classes is the most basic principle of Planned Parenthood. Abortion is, in fact, the most important tool of socialism.
Clearly, if embryonic parasites can be used to cure dread disease their use is absolute and critical. Even if there is no success at all, the use of neonatal tissue in the laboratory is preferable to dogs, cats, monkeys, mice and rats. Animals, after all, have rights, embryonic parasites in humans are devoid of all rights.
I am constantly flabbergasted that the very people held in the greatest contempt by socialists, the poor and uneducated, are the Democrat party's greatest source of power. The ability of socialist elitists to deceive is absolutely their greatest achievement.

{I}There was wisdom in previous centuries -- when folks considered "actors" as undesirables and had them keep their distance and their "place"..{/I}

And do you lump Ronald Reagan into that catagory?

[VOA]

Has anyone here seen the Germany movie "Downfall" about Hitler's last days.

Yep!
"Der Untergang", IIRC.
It was a great film.
A couple of months after I saw the film...there was a Los Angeles Times
article about the tall orderly (guard) in the film.
The guy is still alive (as of summer 2005). And in a subtle way, he
made it sound like "yep, those were the days" even when he was
cooped up in the bunker.

That archival newsreel footage of Hitler giving out medals to some
of the kids serving in "the last days" really shows that tremor.

"Leftists are not results oriented"

exactly right..this seems to be a sick infatuation with WANTING to kill embryos just for the heck of it.
If they were results oriented they would be campaigning for funds to be diverted to adult stem cell research...this is where the results have been achieved.

Really...this shouldn't be a conservative vs. liberal issue if people would just focus on the actual results of studies done.

[FlingWingFlyer]

I don't feel sorry for Fox. Anyone who will go off their medication just to make campaign ads to get DemocRATS elected are blithering, moronic idiots and Fox is their poster boy.

[Texas Songwriter]

Where does this logic take you? Michael Fox lowered his serum medication level to achieve a desired effect. That coupled with celebrity requires attention, it seems according to the left. Now lets put up patients with Huntington's chorea, Giles dela Tourette syndrome, and, because medical research has not yet provided a cure for those maladies, lets blame it on Republicans. There is no end to attempting to manipulate a compassionate American electorate. The problem is their delegation of blame is misplaced. Republican ideology had nothing to do with those afflictions and has not refused to attempt procurement of a cure. Once again, the left employs deceit and lies to accomplish what they cannot in the arena of ideas, as Rush would say. So, once again they attempt to camoflage their true beliefs and try to get us to believe their contrivances. Rush obviously read Ann Coulters book, and she is exactly right. How could anyone not feel empathy for Fox. Parkinsons is unforgiving and eventual in its outcome. I would suspect his personal physicians don't appreciate Fox exaccerbating his symptoms for crass political gain, but, it is a free country, despite what Democrats have tried to do to it. TRUTH has long ago evaded the democrat lexicon and certainly their day to day principles. They simply see truth as an obstacle to temporarily deceiving enough people past the second Tuesday of every other November. So, as Bill Clinton famously offered when his polls dipped in 1996 after Flight 800 was shot down and Morris reported that he was in free fall against his republican opponent, he said, "Well, we will just have to win." By this, he meant, we will do anything, and employ any device to gain advantage. I remember when George H.W.Bush ran agains clinton in 1992 he said, he was dissappointed in the election. He thought people would reflect on honor, duty to country, loyalty. But they didn't and Clinton gave us 8 years of hell and crass behavior resulting in humiliation of the office of the President. To this day, I do not believe Clinton and democrats are sorry for any of that except that they got caught.

So here we are at a crossroad. The Republicans have not governed as well as they might have. Yes Foley, once exposed, was expunged from the Congress, unlike Frank, Studds, or Clinton, but they are stuck with their intimidation of Political Correctness....stuck between the devil and the deep blue sea. If they had attacked Foley, they would have been labeled homophobes. Not attacking and expelling Foley got them this. So, the lesson is, see the truth, right, fairness, don't lie,...and at least you know you did right. The democrats do not think like this. If we do not stand up and refuse to be forced to make the "Good" the enemy of the "Perfect", our country will be the worse for it. And our children, in years to come, will come to see our failure to hold the line and have, perhaps, an insoluable problem. Vote for who you believe will make our country the best that it can be.

"And do you lump Ronald Reagan into that catagory?"

You should have read the second sentence..

"In most cases -- they've been proven correct."

Semper Fi

[harpo11]

Apparently, the democrats and old media pals are all in a huff over Rush Limbaugh's analysis of the Fox campaign ad. Rush has just as much right to discuss these matters as he views it just as Fox had in doing this absurd misleading ad.

I'm also thinking no one should criticize Rush Limbaugh, after all, he does have a disability as well. Without his cochlear implant, he could not hear. I mean if that's the way the crazu left wants to play it.

[eric_da_grate]

I still don't know of Republicans using this many victims to promote their policies - or any at all.

Victim politics is a staple of the left. If the victim is famous and politically favorable to them, he/she/them are beyond reproach.

I sympathize with Michael J. Fox. Who can't? But when he starts plugging his politics into the public arena, he'd better accept that he'll be scrutinized, too.

[frogjerk]

THANKS TO RUSH: the Pubs just put out an ad refuting the Prop. which is misnamed on stem cell (actually it is a cloning issue) by using many famous Mo. sports stars in the ad.

Not just sports stars but believing and practicing Catholics.

Suppan and Sweeny are Catholics firm in their beliefs.

[NeoCaveman]

Have the democrats no shame whatsoever??

Is that a rhetorical question?

[phillyfanatic]

Excellent. I hope MO., MD. and Minn. voters have a backlash against these Dem ads which are once again using suffering and fraud to state an inaccurate ad which actually in MO. should deal with cloning as Prop. 2 does and has nothing to do with stem cell research. I hope the voters bring in Talent, Steele, and Kennedy in all 3 states because of this fraud.

[shield]

It's great RUSH let folks know this was mostly a act my MJ Fox. Even before this was brought out...I didn't buy it. I kinda knew Fox was acting. When he's not acting he hardly shakes. That new med he's on has done wonders for him & his shakes.

Michael stop drinking the diet sodas...aspartame is bad news...especially for you.

The Wrong Tree Embryonic stem cells are not all that.

May 13, 2004, 8:58 a.m. The Wrong Tree Embryonic stem cells are not all that.

By Wesley J. Smith

Once again the media are trumpeting the call among many in Congress, pushed by millions in Big Biotech lobbying money, for President Bush to reverse his decision to limit federal funding of embryonic-stem-cell research (ESCR) to those lines already in existence on August 9, 2001. Fronted this time by the grief-stricken Nancy Reagan, and boosted by Hollywood celebrities such as Christopher Reeve, Michael J. Fox, and Mary Tyler Moore, we are warned darkly, as a recent New York Times editorial put it, that the existing federal-funding restrictions "are so potentially damaging to medicine" that the administration is encountering opposition to its policy even among its "own conservative supporters."

We have heard this mantra many times before but repetition does not make it true. A great deal has been learned about the potential of regenerative medicine since President Bush reached his "compromise" decision ending the stem-cell debate of 2001. And indeed, perhaps the time has come for us to revisit this issue, albeit from a different angle than suggested by ESCR boosters. Perhaps the problem with the Bush plan isn't that it provides too little federal money for ESCR, but too much — at least if our national goal is to find cures to diseases such as Alzheimer's, diabetes, and Parkinson's in the shortest period of time.

The media is so excited about the supposed potential of embryonic stem cells that it gives far too little attention to the many and serious problems associated with this potential source of regenerative medicine. Listening to the hype, one might think that ESCR is on the verge of tremendous success. But the hard truth is that it does not appear likely that embryonic stem cells will soon become the panacea that fervid supporters of the research often claim. For example:

In animal studies, embryonic-stem-cell treatments have been found to cause tumors. In one mouse study involving an attempt to treat Parkinson's-type symptoms, more than 20 percent of the mice died from brain tumors — this despite researchers reducing the number of cells administered from the usual 100,000 to 1,000.

Tissue rejection is another major hurdle to the use of embryonic stem cells in medical treatments. This is why ESCR is known as the gateway to human cloning, since one proposed way out of this potential dilemma is to create cloned embryos of patients being treated as a source of stem cells, a process known as "therapeutic cloning." Not coincidentally, many of the same proponents who are now urging increased funding for ESCR also advocate that we legalize and publicly fund therapeutic-cloning research, which many find immoral because it creates cloned human life for the sole purpose of experimentation and destruction.

Besides being immoral, therapeutic cloning also looks to be wildly impractical. For example, a recent report published by the National Academy of Sciences warned that it could cost in the neighborhood of $200,000 just to pay for the human eggs to derive one cloned human embryonic-stem-cell line.

The above is an excerpt. Please go to the full thread for an excellent rebuttal to Fox and the other lying liberals:
