Rush Limbaugh's commentary on Michael J. Fox is beyond outrageous. The question I have though, is why would he do such a thing? What is it about Limbaugh and others of his ilk that possess them to say such outrageous things about people? The sad part is that many ditto heads will actually swallow the toxic waste which spews from Limgaugh's mouth.
So why did Rush say such things about Michael J. Fox? The answer is simple...those who are drunk on power simply have no sense of ethics or morality. They do and say what they want without regard to the damage it causes others. This is the basis of egomania and its shirt-tail cousin megalomania. Historically Adolf Hitler is viewed as a classic example of megalomania. And the ditto head followers of Rush Limbaugh are no different than the mindless automatons who were hypnotized by the bigoted ranting of Adolf Hitler. Could history repeat itself? Remember Jasper Texas! And that is just the tip of the iceberg. The chariots of bigotry, driving our world into chaos, are guided by the likes of Rush Limbaugh and Pat Robertson. Without a doubt, the fires of chaos and hell are fueled by the tongues of bigots.

- I think that what Rush said about MJF was definitely uncalled for. For years, Rush has done nothing but publicly talk bad about certain people but nothing never happens to him. He even has been caught obtaining perscription drugs illegally, using them illegally and numerous other wrongful things that just get covered up. Then he has the nerves to attack people because he knows alot of mindless followers of his will back him. As long as he has people that listen to him, he will always spread propaganda. Just like the people that say MJF did not do research before he spoke on those adds. If Rush would have had half a brain, he would have known NOT to say MJF was either off his medication or acting. That was just plain STUPID but then...what do we expect from a person who is off HIS drugs...or is he?

"I'm assuming you wouldn't want the president of Exxon telling you about all the benefits of drilling for oil in Alaska. Is this different?"
Hmm. Let's see: on the one hand, we got your basic filthy-rich dude trying to make himself richer through persuasion.
On the other, we got your basic dying guy trying to get stupid people to allow doctors to find a cure for what ails him.
Oh, yeah, the two are *exactly* the same! Like fire and water!
Very astute, RonnieHM. - Reply to this comment
- Dear Rush,
We wanted you to know how much we appreciate your stout support of the Republican Party. You are truly a blessing to the Republicans and conservatives everywhere. Please continue to do everything you can to help the Republicans. God bless you, Rush, and the big help you give the Republican cause.
Love,
The Democratic Party - Reply to this comment
- Is so nice to see that the term to "swift boat" someone is now accepted slang for slurring someone. Another enduring Republican legacy!

- Limbaugh should be in rehab, clean up your own act before pointing your finger. You are disgusting.

- Pixelslinger,
I don't condone what Rush did, but however I am not going to elevate MJF to sainthood because he made a political endorsement ad that wasn't necessarily completely honest. - Reply to this comment
- Emokev,
While I can appreciate that every extremist has apologists, such as has been your response to every article that attacks the far right, I will directly answer your question.
Doesn't bashing Limbaugh put us on the same field as Limbaugh bashing MJF? Absolutely not. For one thing, Limbaugh made unqualified assertions for effect and to display MJF as a quack. Not only were his allegations completely without foundation and based solely in the ignorance to which he appeals to his audience, but the were purposefully meant to be inflamatory - as is his job as a radical-right shock-jock.
Limbaugh is a hypocrite. This is not up for debate. The only thing that is up for debate is whether he is as big of an unmitigated jack@ss as the media is treating him. - Reply to this comment
- Okay, last question--Do we really think that by calling Rush Limbaugh every dispicable and disgusting name that we can think of on a public forum will make us any better than Rush? Or are we doing the same thing to Rush that we accuse him of doing to MJF?

- Okay, another question--do you honestly think how you vote on November 7th is going to remove Rush Limbaugh? In case you haven't noticed, Rush is not running for any office--and if every Democrat in the state of Missouri wins their elections and Amemdment 2 passes, all that will do to Rush is give him enough things to complain about on his show for the next 2 years. And as long as he complains, someone, somewhere will listen.
