Fox Responds To Limbaugh's Accusations
(CBS News) Responding to criticism by conservative pundit Rush Limbaugh, actor Michael J. Fox defended his appearance in a political campaign ad, saying he wasn't acting or off his medication.
In fact, at the time he was over-medicated for his Parkinson's disease, Fox said in an exclusive interview with CBS Evening News anchor Katie Couric.
"The irony is that I was too medicated, I was dyskinesic," Fox told Couric. "Because the thing about, the thing about being symptomatic is that it's not comfortable. No one wants to be symptomatic; it's like being hit with a hammer."
His body visibly wracked by tremors, Fox appears in a political ad that prompted Limbaugh to speculate that Fox was "either off his medication or acting."
Fox told Couric, "At this point now, if I didn't take medication I wouldn't be able to speak."
He said that he appeared in the ad only to advance his cause, and that, "Disease is a non-partisan problem that requires a bi-partisan solution."
"You know what, I don't really care about politics," Fox said. "We want to appeal to voters to elect the people that are going to give us a margin, so we can't be vetoed again."

"Using human embryonic stem cells, researchers have cured a Parkinson's-like disease in rats. Unfortunately, the Parkinson's cure causes brain tumors."
From the first article:
"...10 weeks into the trial, [University of Rochester researchers] discovered brain tumours had begun to grow in every animal treated... By definition, human embryonic stem cells have the almost mythical, immortal power to grow and divide indefinitely as they become the various tissues that make up the body. As a result, scientists have always known that any stem cell therapy could result in an uncontrolled growth of cells that could give rise to cancer."
I disagree. Fox isn't a fool. Fox is a leftist partisan. He knows exactly what he's doing and why he's doing it.
Fox is merely a despicable leftist...and just one of many that we need to rid this country of. Too bad we can't deport him back to Canada.

Fox is a fool. Anyone who lets themselves become a useful idiot for the Communist left is a fool. Fox is a fool.
""The irony is that I was too medicated, I was dyskinesic," "
This is so much BULL SHIT. This ad was taped by professionals who COULD have done retakes IF THEY WANTED TO. This is a staged lie all the way down the line.
Any sympathy I had for MJF is gone. He is a paid hit man for the left!
I refuse to judge him because I have not walked in his shoes. The man has parkinson's and is, as you say, literally wasting away bit by bit every day. His life is a living hell that only gets worse. He is no doubt desperate and will cling to any shred of hope that anyone will give him, regardless if the person giving him this hope is a lying, partisan, manipulative scumbag.
I do not blame a desperate man who wants to avoid a long, painful death sentence. I blame the POS who is lying to him and using his desperate condition for political gain.
I didnt laugh about his illness like others on this thread. I simply made a factual point. That point being; He had alot of money at an early age. He might not have had the best judgement and liked to party alot. This partying may have involved the use of ecstacy. Which is suspected as a possible cause in Parkinsons disease. Due to his possible poor judgement he is in favor of embryonic stem cell research to cure himself. But he has been exposed as a fraud because one of the candidates he supports voted against embryonic stem cell research. That is what I know from this thread.
Wow, he may be a homosexual too.
or maybe 3 of his friends liked to use ecstacy together and got Parkinsons
Left out the word "comments" after derogatory.
I really don't care about eating, pass the pumpkin pie.
Too bad, Michael. You put yourself out as a partisan, you ought to expect partisan reaction.
Bravo....
