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."

Oh, ok....accusation by innuendo....how big of you.
" So when the people with terrible diseases who are bull sh***ed in to believing that their cure is just around the corner if they elect Democrats, but they end up just as sick, how will that feel? "
Fox told the Stanford Medical School Magazine in 2004 that a stem cell cure was much further away than they previously thought.
Fox: " And of course, while we think cell replacement therapy is further away on the horizon than once thought, ..."
Was that in the ad ???? Of course not.
I liked him better as Alex P Keaton........ Too bad that kid was only fictional.
Then why make a partisan campaign ad?
ROTFL!
Neither do I.
NOT about politics? Bull Crap.
How is it he is making ads ONLY for DhimiCrats?
LAST BUT NOT LEAST: Whether he was under/over medicated is immaterial. The Ad WAS TAPED
Thus WHY could he/they (his DhimiCrat handlers/enablers/supporters) NOT waited to tape when he was under "control?"
CASE CLOSED!!!!
Fox also was planning to appear at events for Sen. Robert Menendez of New Jersey and Tammy Duckworth, a candidate for Congress from Illinois.

And still pandering fear to the sick and dying - giving false hope. While Adult stem-cell therapies are making progress, fetal stem-cell research has been unproductive.
It really is all about money. The researchers want money. Liberals want to give it to them by scaring voters into thinking that Republicans want sick people to die...
MJF needs to go back to Canada...

In other words, his body was performing differently than usual.

What I said is true. Any patient that presents with Parkinsons who is under 40 you are to ask about ecstacy use
I'm not sure if there is any other way but to attack him personally. Fox is advocating abortion. He is a vile human being that has been called out.
There is nothing wrong with a little righteous indignation every once in awhile.
Fox thinks we are all stupid. He wants to tell you who is a person and who is not. He wants to tell you who is worthy to live and who is not. He would have made the perfect Southern Democrat Plantation slave owner...or better yet...the perfect Nazi.
Oh sure! A Canadian, Hollyweird leftie that's stumping for leftist DemRats, lying for leftist DemRats, and 'faking/acting' for leftist DemRats. But he doesn't CARE about politics.
RIGHT!
Next time Back to the Future I, II, III, IV or whatever, etc. comes on....I'm switching to Sean Hannity on Fox News.
Bub bye, Mikey!

"You know what, I don't really care about politics," Fox said. "
Its true any patient under 40 with Parkinsons you are to ask about ecstacy use
Both are true. oxycontin causes tinnitus and evdence points to some link with ecstacy and parkinsons
