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.
While I am unhappy about the exaggerated movements Rush made -- he is a conservative ICON.....Rush will always be here, and he is hard to beat for the honest truth. Movements or not he was dead on target about MF.
I listened to the entire bit as well as a couple of days of follow up and never at any time heard anything that I considered as "mocking". Sorry for the snippy tone of my first post, but Limbaugh as eternally accused of stuff like this by people who do not know what he actually said. Also, if you have not heard, Fox did state in 2002 that he skipped his medication before a congressional hearing in order to illustrate the symptoms of his disease, and Limbaugh stated that he thought that was perfectly acceptable and reasonable.
I'd still like to know if you heard the whole thing or are you reacting to what someone else told you?
On the contrary, Rush did something amazingly courageous. He single-handedly pierced the veil of the "infallible victim" tactic so effectively employed by the Left for so many years. Rush dared to say that the emperor has no clothes! The resulting MSM backlash was harsh and loud, but the dynamic of the election changed, thanks to Rush.
Make no mistake, Rush scored a solid body blow. And when the MSM howls at him like a wounded animal, you know how bad he's hurt them.
Rush is far from over and you need to listen more carefully to his advice and commentaries. Check out Rush's web site for the exact review of what was said and when. He did not mock Fox, but he did emphasize the political bias and inaccuracies of the ads. He also referred to the exaggerated movements Fox made in the ads, made perhaps by either failing to take his meds or taking too much, either of which could easily have caused the excessive movements. As far as finding another spokesman, I can't imagine a better one than Rush.
