Talent Camp Says Fox Ad Is False.

ABC World News (10/24, story 5, 2:30, Tapper, 8.78M) reported, "Michael J. Fox has been an impassioned advocate for years. Lobbying for embryonic stem cell research, which he argues can help people who suffer as he does from Parkinson's disease. But Fox has never injected himself so directly and so emotionally on the campaign trail and on TV until now." Michael J. Fox: "In Missouri, unfortunately Senator Jim Talent opposes expanding stem cell research. Senator Talent even wanted to criminalize the science that gives us a chance of hope." Tapper: "That's one of three TV ads so far Fox has recorded for candidates this season. This one goes after Republican Senator Jim talent of Missouri, where embryonic stem cell research is also on the ballot as a referendum. Today, the Talent campaign called the Fox ad, false. Since Senator Talent supports stem cell research that doesn't involve destroying a human embryo."

New Ad Featuring Sports Stars Intended As Response To Fox Spot.

The Washington Times (10/25, Pierce, 88K) reports, "A response to a political ad by actor Michael J. Fox warns Missourians that a referendum on Nov. 7 is intended to trick voters into approving human cloning. Mr. Fox, in his ad for Democratic Senate candidate Claire McCaskill, accuses Republican Sen. Jim Talent of opposing stem-cell research that could help people like him and urges the election of Mrs. McCaskill. ... However, a new ad scheduled to run in Missouri uses the attention focused on Mr. Fox to denounce the referendum as misleading. The ad includes St. Louis Cardinals pitcher Jeff Suppan, scheduled to pitch in the World Series tonight, warning voters that the ballot initiative would legalize human cloning. 'Don't be deceived,' he says. Former St. Louis Rams quarterback Kurt Warner, who led the team to a Super Bowl victory, says, 'Don't be tricked' into thinking that stem-cell research will bring any cures within the next 15 years. The ad is introduced and ended by actor Jim Caviezel, who portrayed Jesus in 'The Passion of the Christ.'"
