First let me say that it has taken me since last Oct. to get the stamina to write anyone to coment on the comment made by Rush Limbaugh about Michale J. Fox and Parkinson’s. I just want to say that I pray that Mr. Limbaugh never is diagnosed with Parkinson’s. Just when Mr. Limbaugh made his coments about Mr. Fox. My husband was diagnosed with Parkinson ism last Oct. It sent me into a tailspin. My husband is in Chronic Kidney failure and has had Heart by-pass surgery about 14 years ago. I feel that my husband and I have been on al roller coaster ride ever since. I am trying to glean any and all info re: Parkinson’s so I can help my husband. Thank you to Mr. Michale J. Fox for all he is doing for Parkinson’s and for the people who have it. It is really encouraging. Sincerely Mr. and Mrs. Robert Lindemann, Stayton, Or.

I am stunned. I have not seen Michael J Fox in any film footage since he was in Spin City, and I had NO idea his illness had progressed so radically. Republican, Democrat – who cares? They are both tag team partners for the management organisation of slavery incorporated (Alex Jones infowars.com). Anyone with an ounce of compassion would not dare broach such a nasty suspicion unless their intent was malevolent – or they were desperate to hustle ratings by bashing one of the world’s more famous disabled persons. Let’s face it; no punter’s gonna get much mileage out of Stephen Hawking with similar allegations – but the moral imperative is the same.

Limbaugh; I turned you off long ago. You continue to make me feel like puking, you Oxycontin-chomping MORON (Alex Jones infowars.com). Any human with a shred of decency may find themselves thinking such a thing, but it takes a moral leper to voice them in such a broad public arena.

Take a few extra Oxycontin packs tonight, Rush – knock yourself out. Permanently – preferably.

Diane learn about how it effects different parts of the body at different times. You know read a bit, besides its tv they can hide the effects, example Andy Griffith, Floyd the barber was dehabilitated most of the end seasons up till he died, bet you never noticed did you? As far as Rush goes hes the expert on drugs, How soon we forget his doctor shopping and crying to the Judge. that was real guinie? LOL Diane thinks Boston Legal is done in one cut and based on real cases.

Diane = run away bride

I have decided to replace my hoola dancer in my back car window with a Michael J. Fox doll and watch it shake. Strange how he didn’t shake just a few weeks back on “Boston Legal”. What a phoney!!!!!!!

Another thing Jms, what did you mean by we aren’t so far away from each-other?

Jms, sweetheart, think about this. Let’s say you work for science. You are one of the hundreds of scientists that are throwing away these cells. Now, are you trying to tell me that you would rather throw away a cell that could potentially save yours and Michael J. Fox’s life, or use that cell to save you guys’ life? You can have the chance to live longer and happiers days without pain. Live long enough to dance at you childrens weddings, or experiance life the way you were meant to. Can I ask you a question or two? First of all how old are you, not trying to be ignorant, and second, what is the disease that you have. As in how is this debiliating illness crippling you? I never heard of the disease.

Fela, we aren’t so far away from each other… But I just have to ask a few questions…

Who will set the standard?

This cell looks promising, but is to be thrown away, so we can (in your words) clone it… no problem there, I guess. Okay, it might have become a person who I might have had a conversation with, had science not got involved in the first place.

… And that cell looks great, but it might cost $100,000 to get hold of it for our completely benevolent research, of course. Oh, wait… it is growing in an under-priviliged human succeptible to an offer of money. What shall we do?

Love you Fela…. et all, but still unable to talk directly to MJF.
;D

Jms, look I’m sorry for what you’ve got but people don’t listen. Yall need to understand this isn’t abortion. A human life is not being sacrificed. 400,000 embryonic stem cells are being THROWN AWAY every year. What Michael J. Fox and others that support this cause are trying to say is, instead of just wasting these cells, why not use them for research to possibly cure diseases like Parkinson’s and other neurological disorders. Everyone is bitching at this poor man calling him a child killer when all he’s trying to do is make some sense out of the situation. Ok, so, lets say that the fight to do stem cell research is lost. What’s going to happen to those poor defensless stem cells that could potentially become life? The same thing that’s been happeneing for the past 20 years. They’ll continue to be thrown away. So, what makes more sense. Use these cells to help cure diseases like Parkinson’s and other neurological disorders that millions of Americans suffer from today, or simply throw them away? I don’t know, think about it. If these cells could become life, do you think they would be throwing them away? No. But obviously these cells are incapable of becoming a human life so that’s why they’re being ditched.

My apologies… This may not be the right place for this, but after digging around the net for days for a way to get in touch with you, M.J.F…. here I am.

I was diagnosed with Esophageal Adeno Carcinoma in Nov 2003… when the 1-year post surgery survival rate was 1 in 5…. and the 5-year survival rate was 1 in 5 of those 20%.

Sooo…. what is my point? I still live, and so do you! But if a human embryo had bee sacrificed (or cloned) to extend my life, I would have refused up front.

I love your work, in movies and TV, and some fine day we should hug. But the difference is that I will never ask that another potential human be sacrificed so that I might live a few more years…

Does “he” refer to Michael J. Fox or Rush Limbaugh, Nat? If you’re calling Fox a loser, it seems you have a problem. C’mon, give me a break! Didn’t you see how bad it was the way Rush Limbaugh was insulting Michael J. Fox? How would you feel if you had a debilitating neurological disorder, and somebody mocked at you this way? You need to learn to put yourself in others’ shoes once in awhile. It isn’t good to be insensitive to the feelings of others. I know you might think I’m a bit too sentimental, but just think about it dude…

This is ludacris. Michael J. Fox has been entertaining the world for 30 years or more. Not once in his entire career has he done anything to upset anybody or talk bad on anyone. He is loved, respected, and adored by millions of Americans around the world. We all know that Rush Limbaugh is a jerk. But for him to verbally attack Michael J. Fox for standing up for what he believes in downright wrong. And for Rush to have the unmittigated audacity to mock a man, America’s favorite tv son at that, with a degenerative progressive neurological disorder that is slowly and painfully taking his life from him, shows that Rush is a very sad person. How low can you sink to attack someone that has done nothing to you? But hey, that’s karma. What goes around comes around. I’m with Michael J. Fox.

like fox, i too have a problem called als. i think the rightous christians are being used. i think the real hidden enemy is the drug companies, who would rather have controls for med problems rather than cures. stem cell medicine could set the sick free and this would not due.

Jennifer, If you had actually listened to Limbaugh you would know that he apologized for the accusation. Oh, and Mr. Fox has admitted that he has gone off his meds in the past so his tremors would be on full display when he spoke to congress.

Limbaugh has also provided evidence that Embryonic Stem Cell research is a total bust. The private research done on it has produced no results at all. Adult stem cell research has provided results in 72 seperate diseases.

Fox turned his disease into a political issue by implying that cures are right around the dorner if only certain politicians would get out of the way and let science destroy viable embryos. The evidence suggests this would ammount to nothing but a lot of destroyed embryos.

Jennifer, you need to educate yourself on the issue.

The vitriol spouted on this page is pathetic, and completely shows that liberal-minded people are rarely operating on facts – scientific, political, or otherwise.

Regardless of what Rush Limbaugh said or did, the FACTS are that Mr. Fox made a very misleading ad. NONE of the Republicans in the states where the ad has run are against “stem cell research” – what they ARE against is EMBRYONIC stem cell research. And that is for very good scientific, medically factual reasons – ADULT stem cells offer promise (and Fox’s own group is backing this research), while embryonic research shows NO promise – only made up, political claims. The ad is even more disturbing and misleading in MO where there isn’t even a stem cell initiative on the ballot. They are voting on CLONING. In the poltical arena, there is almost no stem cell truth. So if you hear that one candidate doesn’t support “stem cell” research – look a little deeper: http://www.frc.org/get.cfm?i=IS06H01&f=WX05F02
