No, Rush Limbaugh said he was either faking it, or didn't take his meds on purpose. And O'Reilly on Fox and his visiting Republicans are defending the comments.

Yeah, I heard what Rush said, but if you watched the evening national news tonight, you would have seen the interview that him and Katie Couric did. He said that he was actually over medicated.
The whole situation is very sad...
The comment that Rush made was disgusting...
Just my opinion...

Tough ad but no one fakes it and basically, a good sign that it's so is the far more crass last ditch "no fair" response by these fair and balanced commentators.

Fox has stated that there have been times when he has stayed off his meds in order to demonstrate to politicians the severity of his condition.
Much like many of us have volunteered to take a hit to educate neuros.
Limbaugh is no one to talk about taking or not taking meds.

Yeah Geeze,
Heaven forbid someone with that type of affliction trying to get some press and maybe try to get some more funding and do some good for mankind.
Would you feel the same if he had CH's and was filmed on national TV during an attack? Or would you chastise him for not doing a trex. shot before the filming because you wouldn't want him overacting and not let people see what these things can do to people.
Probably would have booed Jesus when he dropped the cross for the third time to Huh?

You caught me. I fake my clusters. I enjoy taking triptans and verapamil and lithium and methysergide. Gotta dig those side effects.
I also enjoy waking up four or five times a night, sucking down tank after tank of O2 and walking around like a zombie for months at a time for lack of sleep.
Now if I could just get 30 or so politicians to pay me for an endorsement. Where do I sign up for that?

O'Reilly on the Radio Factor said today that he disagrees with what Rush said about Fox--he said he believes Fox has a right to appear in the ads any way he chooses. He also said he believes that Rush has the SAME right to state what he believes-- I NEVER heard O'Reilly defend one or the other--I DID hear him defend their right to say what they want.

Pure and simple - Rush Limbaugh is a Hillbilly heroin idiot!!!
However, Michael J. Fox is one of my heroes. I used to watch "Spin City" all the time, and before he announced he had Parkinsons, I knew something was up because he kept his hand in his pocket ALOT, and back then displayed a few light symptoms. It was after he gave up the show he came out with the news. That has been some time now, and his symptoms have progressed. He was on "Boston Legal" this season and they said he struggled to try and control his movements, and it took a long time to film his segments.
Another name for Limbaugh? Oxy-Moron!!!
Peace,
Carl
PS - Once I get the webcam setup to record, I plan to forego abortives a few hits to video for educational purposes on a few sites. I plan to do some educational stuff for Youtube.com including one explaining what CH is titled "Suicide Headache" and also a commercial for my radio show.

I don't get it, Jonathan. Are you actually saying that you believe the Republicans and think that Fox is faking his Parkinson's???
I would believe if he'd not taken doses of the meds to show people just how bad it is, but why would he fake such a thing? Why fake it and have to take levadopa and all that shit?
I don't believe he's faking...
Do you really believe that crew?
However, I don't like the ad there as to me it seems like exploitation of a condition for political means. I know the stem cell research is very important, but I don't like how the condition is used like that...
Sad...

1st, Rush never said Fox was faking his parkinson's disease. He said Fox either did not take his meds or was acting in the McCaskill ad. As it turns out, Fox admits to overmedicating which apparently can cause the symptons to worsen.
2nd, The Fox ad was a paid political ad. Fox overmedicated and gave the politicians what they paid for. What is truly sad and disgusting is that the politicians used Fox and his condition in an attempt to gain political support.
When a person puts on the gloves and steps into the political ring, he or she should expect to get hit. The fact that that person has some disease or condition does not give them protection from question or counter point.
Fox opened himself up for criticizm when he appeared in the political ad and took steps to appear as pathetic as possible in the process.
As far as the stem cell issue, adult stem cells are already being used to treat many disorders. Embryonic stem cells thus far have yet to be used to treat any disorder and have shown disastrous results when they were used in human patients. So the question is, why the mad rush to cross all legal, moral, ethical and religious lines to create and kill babies to obtain embryonic stem cells that do not work when adult stem cells have none of the legal, moral, ethical or religious issues and they actually do work?

My grandfather had Parkinsons and it's a horrible disease. I don't blame Michael J. for doing anything he can to promote stem cell research if there's any hope. It's nothing any of us wouldn't do to promote CH.
Personally I think RUSH should be taken out hung and quartered - he's a menace to society (in my opinion). Right now I'm having coffee with Imus in the Morning - at least he has the politicians on and calls them crooks to their faces.
As far as the political ads go -- they've gotten way outta hand. What happened to the ISSUES??? This is the dirtiest campaign I can ever remember.
I've written political ads for "heated" campaigns and NEVER - not once - did we say anything bad about our opponents (even when they were slinging mud at us) - and we WON.
This is just a subject that hacks me off...

True, adult stem cells are being used for some things. But they are inherently more limited; they are not able to reprogram themselves as any type of tissue the way that embryonic stem cells can.
There is no "mad rush to cross all moral, ethical, and religious lines." Blastocytes that are created for in-vitro fertilization are being discarded every day when a decision is made not to implant them. Those could be used for embryonic stem cell research. Instead of allowing those blastocytes to be used to benefit humanity, they must be destroyed to cater to the 'just say no' crowd.
You said that Michael Fox "opened himself up" to this. Sure, just like the young men that reported that Congressman Foley was soliciting them - they told the truth and 'opened themselves' to Rush and Hannity and others calling them 'monsters' or 'leading-on' Foley or luring the Congressman into a trap. Do you think all is fair in love and politics, or do you think that somewhere there a line of decency that should be respected?

NOthing like faking CH I am sure. Everyone wants to be a head banger. Why I acutally love to roll off the bed or slide down the stairs. I wish they would build an extra flight of steps. I could really build momentum.
You know herion can burn a few brain cells. Judging by the way Russ L acts, he must have taken a whold lot of that shit. .
Yeah I could see ol Russ at the cross of Christ screaming with the others Save yourself if you are King of the Jews>
He is an not a very nice person...........
BTW I don't think we would even need to take less meds or none at all for drama effect of CH. ONe small hit is enough never mind a kip 10.
