Michael J. Fox vs. Rush Limbaugh

Crooks and Liars has coverage on public opinion of Michael J. Fox vs. Rush Limbaugh in the stem cell debate. Rush would like us to believe otherwise, but the reality is that the public is fed up with Rush's cheap blows attacking the disabled, spreading lies and confusion on the benefits of stem cell research, and hypocrisy.



In a new CNN poll, MJ Fox has a 75% approval rating while Limbaugh is at 26%.

Also, take a look at Stephen Colbert's take on Rush's shameful attacks on people afflicted with diseases who are not perfect like Rush, also provided by Crooks and Liars.

Another reason to support Michael J. Fox is that Rush's problems were caused by his own choices and incompetence. Michael Fox did not choose to be afflicted with Parkinson's disease, but Rush's problems of drug abuse, impotence, marriage and sexual failures, cowardness (draft dodger), and welfare dependence (former unemployment beneficiary) were all consequences by Rush's own personal decisions.
