Did you hear what Limbaugh said? Please explain how he "mocked" Fox.

In fact he specifically stated that going off meds to illustrated the nature of the disease was a legitimate thing to do. He also clearly stated that he disagreed with the content of the ad and had full sympathy with the suffering of Parkinson's victims. Listen before you speak.

Limbaugh mocked Fox by saying he thought Fox was exaggerating his symptoms for the camera, and, on his webcam, making exaggerated body palsy movements to show what he was talking about. That was enough for me.

Sorry, it's not enough just to say you have sympathy for someone when you basically accuse them of dramatizing the symptoms of a serious disease like Parkinson's.

Rush is over. We need better spokesmen for our side.

I am glad there are a few here at FR who are alert enough to understand what Rush-mo was describing.

Some here are like the Democrats on the Constitution.

Agreed. I, for one, listened live to most or all of what Rush said about Fox. At no point have I heard Rush speak of Fox, Parkinson's disease, or its victims in a mocking manner. Rush spent most of the time criticizing the Democrat's intent. He also expressed disappointment about Fox either not taking his medication for dramatic effect and/or allowing the Democrats to use Fox as a puppet. Now in retrospect, Fox says he overmedicated and neglected to research the accuracy of what he was paid to say. Fox comes out of it a bit tarnished. The Democrats come out of it looking like idiots, once again. Rush comes out of it looking like Rush, a conservative who calls it like he sees it and more often than not is right on target.
