Patti, you think Rusty's bad? Let's see, so far, I've wished we had John Belushi back to do an impression of Michael like he did of Joe Cocker on "Saturday Night Live", and I've suggested that the campaign motto of the candidates using Michael's ads might as well be "Bring Out The Gimp!" And as Al Pacino once said (in the course of playing another disabled character, incidentally) I'm just gettin' warmed up. Just watch me.

My dad taught it to me this way.

If you want it to stop... fight the bully.... every single time he bullies you.

If the school calls me and tells me that you have been in a fight, I'm going to give you 10 licks with my belt. If the school kids tell me you lost the fight, I'm going to give you 20. So you decide how hard you want to fight.

I only got bullied once. Got 3 licks from the Principal and 10 from my dad. Never got bullied again by anyone.

ignoring the blathering accusations of the radio host and expressing appreciation that, just two weeks before the midterm elections, we are discussing stem-cell research

We're not discussing stem cell research but the subset, embryonic stem cell research. No one, and I repeat no one, is opposed to adult stem cell research (which is actually achieving results) or umbilical stem cell research. By lumping all forms of stem cell research into this controversy the Michael J Fox crowd are lying and deceiving the public and that's what the left doesn't want you or the voters to understand. That's why they're attacking Rush. Because he spoke truth to power.

I imagine RR might point out it doesn't make any difference if Fox was faking or went off his med.s.

Just like Cindy Sheehan, he's still using a personal tragedy in a dishonest way to advance his agenda.

"It doesn't work for girls either. You stand up to them and get the crowd on your side."

My 12yo nephew was constantly harrassed by the class bully. Finally called my nephew the n word - next thing he knew my nephews' foot was in his chest and he was suddenly accelerated backwards. Something happened between the time he called him the n word and he landed on his backside because he never bothered my nephew again.

Sometimes ignoring works. Sometimes it doesn't.

Fox didn't care about the people who had the disease before; but now that he has it...he demands the government to find a cure pronto...

Why don't these people just shut up? I like Rush. On the other hand, I can't stand their constant whining. It's as though criticism is illegal. Rush is a bad guy for criticizing this ad, but any slander directed at a Republican is okay, and any nonsense or treachery perpetrated by a Democrat is okay.

Interesting relationship. Your father beat you for doing what he taught you.

Ok Dane. I will explain it slowly to you since you are a democrat. Michael J. Fox is slowly dying a pretty crappy death. He is under the mistaken belief that stem cells from embryos will guarantee that he won't die. He is grasping at straws and trying to save his life.

His motivation is entirely different than your other fellow democrat politicians who are exploiting him, oh and Arlen Specter too. Fox cut a very similar ad for Arlen in 2004 because he is pro stem cell murder.

With advice like that it's easy to see why this a$$hole grew up to be a lib.

Ruh roh, why the vitriol towards me. It was Michael J. Fox or should I say Michael J. Embryo who under his own free will made the misleading and lying commercials.

Well, well, well. Newsweak recruiting the daughter of The Gipper to attack Rush. See, Rush won't respond, that's Reagan's daughter he's a-talking to.

Odds are that fetal stem cell research would not provide a cure to Parkinsons. But if you are suffering from Parkinsons and there is 1 chance in a million that it might, then you might be upset at the possibility that the door is closed to further research (more so if you are not pro-Life to begin with).

Sorry, not good enough for me. As a cancer survivor, I guess my opinion means as much as Michael J. Fox's, so I say that I would not seek out treatment that was developed by harvesting other humans, born or unborn.

Oh good grief. What is wrong with that girl? Rats make remarks about killing the President and you don't hear a word from Hollywood or anywhere against them! Rush says Fox was off his meds and they go nuts. So blatant!

He is dying. I cut him some slack. That is all. Claire what's her face no slack for exploiting him. He is afraid to die. I pity him. It's the compassionate conservatism thing you know.

I feel bad for Michael J. Fox. He can't win with this. I understand he is desperate for a cure and anyone who has a cause wants to show it's effects. For example I think her name is Theresa Saldan has done PSA's to show her scars on her face from a violent attack while not wearing makeup.

I just wish people wouldn't put all their eggs into one basket (embryonic stem cells) There are so many avenues to explore with adult stem cells, cord stem cells etc... Rush talked about the gene carrying virus that showed promise. I believe people like Michael J. Fox aew being brainwashed into thinking this is their only hope. Of course I realize that this is just a Democratic grandstand as well. I hate to say it but I think Rush was mean in his accusations. I do realize he has apologized and I am glad about that.

If Rush had done any research, he would have known that Fox's symptoms were bad. If you watch SPIN CITY at the end orf his run there, it was almost uncomfortable to watch him, because he was so physically unsound. I don't think he should have brought Fox into it...he should have attacked the message only, not the messenger...we always get into trouble doing this.

So I should pity him(MJF) as he makes outright blatant lies in tv commercials. So he gets a pass on his lying, is that what you are saying.
