ABC was in full "You can't question MJF!" mode this morning.

The ABC Morning program was one long hit piece on Republicans. ...not one negative about the Democrats.

Surprising? No. ...just the outrageous indifference to their open bias.

Dr. Davenport is right on the money with her comments.

I regret that Mr. Fox has Parkinson's. My aunt just died from it while fighting it for years. But to deliberately mislead people about a certain kind of stem cell research for political purposes is crueler than the disease.

Shame on Mr. Fox and on Benjamin Cardin.

Sean Hannitiy was on TV this morning with Diana Sawyer? and when Sean brought up MJF's congressional testimony about not having taken his meds before, she immediately cut him off and says "But this is now".

It's sad that Michael J. Fox has this disease. It doesn't even bother me that he would use the disease to bring awareness to it.

However, using that disease to manipulate the public into destroying more lives, just to save him is pretty pathetic, if you ask me. The media attempts to make Rush Limbaugh the villian by pointing out Fox's false assertions, I honestly don't think will work this time. It is Fox who injected himself into this debate and is using his "star power" to manipulate the public to vote for candidates who will vote to destroy human lives just to save his.

Because he stepped into this arena, he deserves much of the criticism heaped upon him for his "factually challenged" statements.

Good article. Also, to those of you who are in Missouri, Amendment 2 specifically permits cloning. If you believe this is wrong, please vote NO on 2.

I can't believe we live in a world where we have to defend against using the miracle of life for scientific experiments. God, please help us.

In short, the claims made in the Michael J. Fox political ads are false and reprehensible, an insult to the voters of Maryland, Missouri and New Jersey, and to all Americans.

Yes they are .. but I have to say he also did us a favor by bringing attention to this Bogus Amendment in Missouri and the lies behind it

It's not a stem cell amendment .. it's about Cloning and sucking in endless amounts of taxpayer dollars

Questions You Should Ask, Answers You Should Know Regarding the Human Cloning Amendment

Shame on Mr. Fox and on Benjamin Cardin.

They and their ilk have no conscience and so are incapable of truly feeling shame.

The whole MJF ad campaign is offensive. The media is mercilessly attacking Rush for telling the truth.

It also seems to be backfiring on Dems:

Talent: 48% McCaskill: 45% (LA Times/Bloomberg NEW 10/25)

Poll was taken Oct. 20-23, so there is a window for the Fox ads to have been seen. Lets assume as I always do that Dems are oversampled. That means that even Dems may have not liked the ads. Time will tell.

Exactly.

ABC was in full "You can't question MJF!" mode this morning.

Diane Sawyer was indignant to Sean Hannity. "You can't criticize Mike Fox! Rush was terrible to be critical of Mike! He has Parkinson's! He has a right to say what he wants! Doesn't he have a right to say what he wants, Sean!?!?!??"

UGH. A partisan and despicable scene on ABC this morning. Sean slapped her back really good!

Stem Cell research is rapidly becoming the 'Global Warming' issue of the new millenium. Supporters of embryonic stem cell research do not let the facts get in the way of their rhetoric. Just like educated skeptics of global warming are villified by the likes of 'experts' such as Al Gore, those who actually know what they are talking about, the author of this article for example, are shouted down by the likes of 'experts' such as Michael J Fox. Emotions trump reason in this debate, just as they do in the Global Warming iusse.

When they write the history books ("if there's anyone left who can read by that time," as Oliver North once said) about this period in U.S. history, one of the defining characteristics of our culture will be the manner in which we've deluded ourselves into thinking the Nazis lost World War II.

Yes! I was able to see this ad....great sorrow that he is looking worse, perhaps Mr. Fox should be treated with those very same stem cells he is advocating for the general public. The senator's would be proud of him.
