Do you think Rush Limbaugh went too far in accusing Michael J. Fox of exaggerating the effects of Parkinson's disease? * 115743
Yes. 84%
No. 14%
I don't know. 1.6%
I had to look into this one because the way the media reported it, it sounded like Rush did go too far. But then you find out that this is a tactic of Michael J. Fox that he has previously admitted using to enhance sympathy for his cause. Well, then that makes Rush's comment 100% accurate.

84/15. We're getting an awfully late start.
If the frequenters/watchers of PMSMSNBC are considered, you KNOW that only the moonbat fringes are regulars there....ANY poll on Rush Limbaugh that can be seen as negative will be innundated with the loonies voting for condemnation (and execution, if possible)of ANY conservative, especially Rush.
"Did Fox go too far in distorting Talent's stem cell research position??
If we give MSNBC hits they'll think people care about their opinions.
F the liberal polls, msnbc is dead media broadcasting.
Typical MSNBC poll. They tell their listeners (talk about mind numbed robots) what to think and than take a poll to make sure they "get it" or will tell them until their poll says they do.
It came up as the banner image when I logged into MSN today. A pic of Limbaugh and Fox and all - with a link to their poll.
These polls are a waste of time...MSNBC will not allow a NO to out rank the YES...totally and completely SKEWED.
Oooh, I don't like that approach to FReeping. It suggests that we won't take the battle of ideas and what we believe in to all corners. I don't think one should ever shy away from advancing their views, even amidst the lion-filled den.
We can turn this around.
FREEP THIS POLL ***PING!*** FRmail me and gordongekko909 if you want to be added or removed from the Freep this Poll! Ping list. And be sure to ping me to any polls that need Freepin', if I miss them. (looks like a medium volume list)

Of all the questions they could ask, why this?
Rush did not go "too far" if you listened to what he said, why he said it, and look into the facts involved. What he was suspecting of Fox (that Fox was positioning himself in such a fashion to exaggerate the legitimate symptoms he has) is true.
MSNBC likes to harrass deaf people ~ they have no room in their narrow little lives for the severely handicapped ~ just for those who want to eat babies.
When one changes the channel to MSNBC and then gets upset with the programming,
it helps to remember you are one of the few watching it.
Well 83% to 15% is already 2 points better than where things stood before this thread was started!
Reeve didn't care about spinal injuries until he fell off his horse and Fox didn't care about Parkinson's Disease until he came down with it. I appreciate the severity of his disease but that doesn't give him carte blanche to twist and distort facts in order to sway voters.
And if he thinks it does, then screw him.
