Rush Limbaugh Accuses Fox of Lying

Joseph T. Cool

Administrator & WC HOF'er

Rush Limbaugh accused Michael J. Fox of exaggerating and faking his symptoms related to Parkinson's disease after the actor appeared in a TV ad for Missouri Senate challenger Claire McCaskill, a candidate who supports stem-cell research. Fox was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease in 1991 and through his foundation, has raised millions of dollars for research that will promise improved therapies and ultimately a cure for people living with Parkinson's. From behind his microphone on his syndicated radio show, Limbaugh said:


"He is moving around and shaking, and it is purely an act."

Later, Limbaugh offered a half-hearted apology but tempered it by saying that Fox was letting his condition be exploited. Rush Limbaugh didn't say if he was faking in 2001 or not when he went almost completely deaf and went on the air talking like somebody who was punished for lying in the Middle East. But instead of having a degenerative disorder of the central nervous system like Fox has, Limbaugh went deaf because he was addicted to OxyContin and Hydrocodone. To prove his theory, Limbaugh should totally let Fox perform his next ear surgery. Michael J. Fox would be like Zorro without all that unnecessary blade control.

Limbaugh was completely out of line to even suggest that Fox was exaggerating his symptoms.

Limpbag is a total DUECHE! I hope he chokes on his prescription pills and dies a slow painful death. That guy has NO right to even live. I had to listen to his stupid fucking bullshit almost every day when I worked at the gas station because the guy I worked with listened to all that political talk radio garbage everyday. I would rather slit my wrists than listen to that obese cock sucker again. Die Rush, Die!

As I stated before, I think Rush Limbaugh was out of line in what he said. I don't think that Michael J. Fox exaggerated his symptoms for the ad.

I do however do not think that Michael J. Fox is innocent in all of this either though. I think that he is using his condition for politics which is wrong in my book. So Rush isn't the only one who screwed up in this situation.

And I think it is going to back fire on Michael J. Fox and the democratic party as well.
