nsslyhszrtgstdgahsr@yahoo.com - 25 Oct 2006 21:16 GMT Limbaugh's Cruelty
Rush Limbaugh has proven time and again what a nasty bully he can be. Remember his feeble attempt to insult Chelsea Clinton by criticizing her appearance when she was just a child? And his racist musings on whether black men were equipped to play quarterback? (FYI, Rush, at least five African-Americans are starting quarterbacks in NFL right now.)
This week however, Limbaugh sank to a new low by mocking actor Michael J. Fox and his battle with Parkinson's disease.
Fox has become a Limbaugh target because he has appeared in political ads for Democratic senatorial candidates who support stem cell research, such as Rep. Ben Cardin of Maryland and Claire McCaskill in Missouri.
"He is exaggerating the effects of the disease," Limbaugh told listeners Monday. "He's moving all around and shaking and it's purely an act...This is really shameless of Michael J. Fox. Either he didn't take his medication or he's acting."
Limbaugh ultimately offered a half-hearted apology, but it's difficult to take this seriously. With a weekly audience of 10 million, he lives to generate this type of controversy. He and Ann Coulter seem to be in a competition for who can be the most consistently repugnant and woefully ignorant.
With his acting career essentially over, Fox now works to raise awareness of the plight of people who suffer from Parkinson's. Even if Limbaugh objects to stem cell research, it certainly isn't a crime for Fox to weigh in on the issue. Muhammad Ali has done this admirably. So did the late Christopher Reeve. Will they be the next to draw Limbaugh's vindictive ire?

Chelsea IS ugly......
Black quaterbacks mostly DONT have the brains.....
And Mr. Fox is not protected from any comments just because he has an illness.
Mr. Fox jumped into the political arena...and now has to take his lumps if any.
All facts.....perhaps you would like to submit a list of "liberal rules" of things we
CAN and CANNOT say...
Please submit them...thanks.
Or is it just up to you a.sholes?
Let me know...thanks.

Pedro Sanchez - 25 Oct 2006 23:10 GMT >Limbaugh's Cruelty > >Rush Limbaugh has proven time and again what a nasty bully he can be. You're right because I've never seen or heard anyone call Rush a blow-hard or change his last name to Limpballs. Yeah it's wrong to make fun of liberals.
Adam Albright - 25 Oct 2006 23:26 GMT >>Limbaugh's Cruelty >> [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] >blow-hard or change his last name to Limpballs. Yeah it's wrong to >make fun of liberals. Making fun of one's politics is fair game. Making fun of a person suffering from a terrible disease is cruel, stupid and so typical of moronic loud mouth a.sholes like Limbaugh.
Guess what... CNN just ran a interview with a respected neurologist who treats Parkinson's patients who plainly stated that the shaking and excess movements seen in that commerical are a RESULT of BEING ON certain Parkinson's medications, (they are a side effect) not the stupid moronic withdrawing from meds like the dickless wonder Limbaugh claimed.
So as usual, the useless pile of sh.t called Limbaugh got it wrong. Will he admit it? Of course not. That f.cking pig never admits when he's wrong.

Howard stern, Phil Hendrie and LOADS of other 'anti-bush' radio hosts make fun of death and suffering all the time. They do it because they have the RIGHT to do it.
If I was offended by something I heard on a radio show I wouldn't listen to it anymore.
Only an idiot would give that host more air time and attention.
Limbaugh made ALL the newschannels for [2] days and I bet limbaugh's people kept saying 'make sure you spell his name right'
Man, what a bunch of dolt liberal drones.
Do you people get a special email in the morning telling you what to be outraged about?

Personally, if you don't like what you hear on the radio or see on tv you should change the channel. The government shouldn't be in the business of regulating free speech.
As far as I'm concerned stern, or anyone else, should be able to say what they want.

Fox and his battle with Parkinson's disease. He did not mock Fox. He pointed out that Fox himself said that he went off his drugs when he testified so that he would look as bad as possible. He also pointed out that fetal stem cells have failed while other methods have worked. He pointed out that Fox did ads for Ben Cardin, who voted AGAINST stem cell research. The conclusion: Fox is lying or being exploited.
By the way, he NEVER mused about whether black men were equipped to be quarterbacks, he only said that McNabb was getting more credit than he deserved because he was black

We just reached 300 Million poeple in the US. Maybe you include other Americans from both contenents. If you're restricting yourself to the comman US usage of the word "American" you are crazy. I doubt there are even 150 Million people who could be draft dogers since only men have ever been eligable for the draft and the draft has only been used for a short period of time. It's aways jarring to me just how many right wing pundits and federal officials are draft dodgers. From time to time I have said I dodged the draft by joining the Air Force but it's not technically true. My number never came up and I did fill out the forms indicating I was available for the draft and had a draft card. As best as I can tell right wingers just aren't very patriotic.

Perhaps we should execute them?

What I don't like is hypocritical lard-a.ses who condemn others while hiding what they really are. If Limpballs supported gay rights or at least called the RepubliCONs on their gay bashing tactics, it would be different. When he pushes the "gays want special rights" baloney, he's fair game.

I wouldn't call that science. I will go out on a limb and say the study was prompted by gays and some of the people who did the study were also gay.
Need some science to back up these wild a.s claims people have these days.
Gravity can be proven, homophobia being repressed homosexuality cannot be proven.

Bill Habr - 26 Oct 2006 17:31 GMT Can liberals tell the truth?
Well maybe, but not about Limbaugh.
What Limbaugh said was that he had never seen someone with Parkinson's Disease with symptoms as bad as Fox's in the commercials. He said something to the effect that Fox was either exaggerating or was off his medicine. He also said and documented that Fox lied in a couple of the commercials. Is that 'cruel'?

Cute little lie by mischaracterization. "...something to the effect..." -- why not quote him? He actually mocked Fox by swaying wildly back and forth, and accused Fox of acting.
Is it cruel? Cruelty is being mean to the helpless. Fox is not helpless. Limbaugh is just an a.shole. This isn't news, but might just be a straw/camel's back event that cements the idea that these types of cretins don't have anything elevating to say.
