Michael J. Fox Records Second Misleading Stem Cell Research Ad (He Supports a pro-cloning Democrat?
Life News ^ | October 24, 2006 | Steven Ertelt

Actor Michael J. Fox is coming under fire for the second time in two days after recording a second television commercial blasting a pro-ilfe candidate on the isssue of stem cell research. The latest ad, in Maryland, attacks pro-life candidate when his opponent voted against stem cell research.

In the new spot, Fox vouches for Senate hopeful Ben Cardin, a current congressman, in his bid against pro-life Maryland Lt. Governor Michael Steele.

"Cardin fully supports lifesaving stem cell research and that's why I support Ben Cardin," Fox says.

However, Cardin voted against a bill that would have authorized the federal government to search for embryonic stem cell research alternatives that don't involve the destruction of human life. The measure would have promoted some types of research that could possibly have been palatable to both sides of the debate.

"There is only one candidate in this race who voted against stem cell research and it's congressman Ben Cardin," Steele said in a statement LifeNews.com received from his campaign...

Steele says he "is an enthusiastic supporter" of a myriad of stem cell research such as "cord blood, adult stem cell and embryonic stem cell research that does not destroy the embryo."

"In Missouri, you can elect Claire McCaskill, who shares my hope for cures," Fox tells viewers urging them to support the pro-abortion, pro-cloning candidate...

Yes, why did he wait until late October to begin stumping for Dems? I imagine that any Democrats involved would know that this would be an October surprise, or at least close to it.

I think he picked the wrong campaign to go up against.

Here is the October surprise: Self-inflicted wounds by the left.

Call me NUTZ but I stand by my prediction that the GOP will pick up one Senate Seat and 3 Rep seats

Democrats are the party of Death. If it kills a child, they support it. If it doesn't kill a child, they lose interest.

Cardin voted against stem cell research. This proves that Fox is supporting his long-held political biases with these ads (he was a liberal activist long before his illness), not any passion for stem cell research. If so, he'd not be campaigning for a guy who voted against stem cell research.

Yes, you do raise an excellent point.

I think "pimping" may indeed be closer to the mark.

Sorry, but Rush is right. This little nut case is a dedicated RAT. His mind is not gone and he is very smart, trouble is it backfired.

Yes, Rush is right.

Anyone can see by the timing of this, and by his misleading ads, that this is pretty much all about stumping, or "pimping" for the Dems.

Isn't Michael J. Fox a Canadian?

Why do we care who a Canadian thinks we ought to vote into office, or the social programs we wish?

No offense to Canadians, but don't tell us who to vote for.

Guess it's not "PC" to let you folks in on a little secret.


pssssssst ... Advanced Cell Technology, Inc. has discovered a way to do the stem cell thing without harming embryos.


But don't let that stand in the way of a good lynching.

Resume.....

"Cardin fully supports lifesaving stem cell research and that's why I support Ben Cardin," Fox says.

Of course, he means "life-killing" embryonic stem cell research.

Honest question: Wasn't this discredited?
