Comments on: My Interview With Michael J. Fox

[jeninla]

I do have sympathy for Michael J. Fox, but I also know that cloning unborn children is awful. Stem cell research is being done thanks to President Bush, but Embryonic stem cells are a whole different story. Mass production of aborted babies is disgusting! Take your meds Mr Fox and say your prayers like most people do.

Micheal J. Fox is one of my heros. He has faced his disease with courage and grace, and intelligence. He has selflessly brought hope and advocacy for who suffer from Parkinsons and their families who love them. Who are the advertisers on Rush Limbouagh's radio show? They should be boycotted. Enough of this sad era of allowing ignorant buffoons such as Limboaugh, (and the another extreme, Howard Stern) to pollute this country's intellectual environment by giving them opportunities to poison the airwaves with their tirades of anger and hate.

Once again, individual issues have been coupled with the candidate, in a blanket of emotional rhetoric.
Why was Michael Fox campaigning for Claire McCaskill, when Stem Cell Research is being decided by the voters....NOT by any winning candidate, or elected official?

There are powerful, Republican figures who are supporting Ammendment 2, such as, former Senator, John Danforth and even, current Congresswoman, Jo Ann Emerson.

Too bad that Claire McCaskill presented this important issue, as a bi-partisan concern... and too bad, Rush Limbaugh drove it home, for her.

I will NOT vote for Clare McCaskill, but I WILL vote for Ammendment 2, in support of Stem Cell Research.
Be cool Be Well,

PS: I'm considering, letting my favorite politicians know, that I will no longer be sending money to their campaigns, as long as they continue to run, negative adds.

As a Writer who suffers from Manic Depression, Stem Cell Research is one of the most important issues for me. Politics and Religion should NOT interfere with the continuing efforts to cure the INCURABLE diseases that inflict millions if not billions of people through out the world. I will support any Politician who cares about people and supports Stem Cell Research. I am determined to speak out and talk about this issue for the rest of my life.

This is my only complaint, Rush Limbaugh should be fired for his hatred toward mentally and physically challenged citizens. He is incapable of intelligence and his right wing views are equivalent of a virus attacking innocent people.

Keep on fighting the good fight!

Like David Letterman said to another conservative commentator "..I think 60% of what you say is '***' Rush Libaugh has moved to to the 99.999999% class with his stupid comments about Michael Fox, but that can and will help many to see the truth of what these fool say from now on. Thank you, Katie Curic for your great work. JEC

The guy has great courage and I wish I could get behind what he wants. But the language in Missouri No. 2 would allow human cloning and use of cells from aborted babies. Until legislation is presented which firmly outlaws both of these results, America must continue to say no. An old lesson: the ends cannot justify the means. The Bible tells us to speak for those who have no voice and the unborn child certainly fits that description. Mr. Fox needs to use his incredible passion to sway lawmakers into crafting bills which meet the above criteria so that those of us who believe in his cause can get behind it.

[mailpro56]

Whats with all the fuzzy cute pictures taken with Fox? You are supposed to be a journalist and you're acting like Oprah...this is why you're ratings are taking a deep dive. How about discussing the actual issue instead of giving Mr. Fox a forum

[gtorlando]

Fantastic interview, it takes alot of guts to do what Michael Fox does. Thanks for bringing us some real life.

[sagfire1]

I would just like to say THANK YOU to MJF. I have many friends and family who would be helped by this research.

I would also like to know if there is a foundation that would consider egg donations for this cause. For I would donate any they would need to further this research.

I strongly believe the God has given us these people who have the knowledge and technology to do this. Why ignore his gifts?

Thank you for the time to speak my opion.

[r_sayee]

Its obvious those who r criticizing Fox is bunch of republican loonies who is upset becoz fox's message is going against their party.. He couldnt hv been more honest in this interview about his intentions. But guess what, even if jesus comes and takes the side of democrats in some issues, these party hacks will call him names and try to suppress his message... thats how blind they hv bcome!

[mars53]

You start out seeing Fox

[mikemather55]

Well, It's the old Democrats vs. Republicans again. Rush, O'Reilly, and the "Bow-Tie Boys" are hammering on the Democrats, very normal for the pre-election season. But they have a much bigger job along with that one. They have to try and downplay the rising cost (in money and lives) of the war in Iraq, and their dirty little congressman. When Clinton was on the grill over Lewinski you couldn't shut Pope O'Reilly up. It was immoral. These days he's talking about anything and everything except his dirty little Congressman! Between Fox and NBC (with their General Electric landlord) and all the clout their many ombined channels carry, they are still having trouble keeping their heads above water. I think between Cheney's little chow hall, lunch counter, and cantina business ripping off DOD in Iraq, the oil "bidness" taking America for the rip-off ride of their life, and the Bible belt, gun toting, red states realizing they got ripped off right along with everyone else, the Republicans are screwed this November. When this administration is gone we'll pick out the real winners. You know, corporate America. Do you remember the good ol days when they just paid to influence making laws. With this administration they got to write the laws themselves! We have the best government money can buy!

[savagefoo]

When we really look at the events over the last few days on this issue, we see an admitted drug addict criticizing an American hero. I like Michael's response. I think he is saying thanks for talking about this Rush. I really don't care what you say just spell it right. "Stem cell research offers hope to cure disease."

[ellobo2028]

i have never blogged before, so this is my first time. i wish to say that was the best interview i have ever seen. thank you for doing the interview

[lonnie461]

And tonight we get to watch CBS push another political liar at us with Letterman. Robbins promised to leave the country if George Bush won a second term. Here he is. Letterman shows his usual amount of complete lack of decency. Bob Hope, Johny Carson and those show decency along with true humor. Letterman has no humor and tries to make funny of hate jokes when they have no humor But Communist Broadcast System will keep pushing him at us until the sponsors wise up (the public can take care of that) and will. Robbins called that very intimidating on the part to quit buying. That is one of those great American values. We don't like you we quit buying your goods (called voting with dollars). Free enterprise. Not that Robbins, Letterman or Communist Broadcasting System would understand. Just don't know why could not tell TRUTH. Don't make statement if you are not going to leave.

[lonnie461]

lookcantsee(cantsee would be more appropriate), The people of Missouri will approve the amendment just as they did pro life measurements. You and other partisan whiners will run to Clinton appointed activist (like you they know better for the rest of the country, they're so smart???) to overturn and claim unconstitutional. When in doubt run to liberal activist judges. Whine. Get sympathy. Call the other people mean. Cry. It all works for the liberal Demos. But don't even try to act smarter, that is stupid.

[lonnie461]

Well lookcantsee, So developing a cure through SCR (nice abbreviation to get calling it what it is) won't make the developer any money??? Is that really what you are saying? For someone who is trying to act so much smarter and more education than anyone else you have lost touch with reality. "Kool-aid", nice union term from a liberal union member hoping to spread more lies for the party. Fact, yes the pharma(nice abbreviation,why capital) people gave several miracle cures as I named tonight. You and Katie(she is losing ratings thank God) have yet to name one, I repeat one (1), whichever you understand about zero (0) success about embryonic cell research. This argument is not about SCR (nice abbreviation). Other than trying to ACT super intelligent (like John Kerry and we all know where that went--lower grades than GWB) your comment says NOTHING concrete fact at all. Ask the many people who can live normal lives with high blood pressure, thanks to medicines, how much they like their Pharma (nice abbreviation even if meaninless).

[petebutch7]

God Bless Michael J Fox and his family. Thank You Katie for allowing him to speak out. Others should put themselves in his shoes and see what they would do. Good Luck Michael

[lookcantsee]

bkbb2,

You come here with your deceptive cloak of truth seeker while lambasting everyone for their inability to tell the truth. You, in fact, have provided no facts other than your own opinions and some stale talking points you heard and/or read the past couple of days.

Here is the 'The Plain Language Explanation' of the MO Constitutional Amendment:

This amendment will allow Missouri patients and researchers access to any method of stem cell research, therapies and cures permitted under federal law. It also will set limits on any stem cell research, therapies and cures, INCLUDING BANNING HUMAN CLONING OR ATTEMPTED CLONING (emphasis mine). Violators will be subject to criminal and civil penalites.

Another thing, McCaskill was in no position to vote on a Stem Cell Research bill, as you suggest above. She has been a State Auditor for the last 7 years. Missouri's junior Senator, Talent, who is running against McCaskill, voted against it however the bill passed through the U.S. Senate despite his negative vote. Unfortunately, the bill was later vetoed by President Bush. Michael J. Fox is working to have enough Senators elected to overcome a veto that will sure follow a second attempt.

Now, who is...uhh.uhh...LYING LIKE A RUG HERE?!?!
