5. I am waiting for the youtube with Rushbo
Edited on Wed Oct-25-06 06:51 AM by bronxiteforever
explaining why he is an impotent, bitter old oxycontin addict

I apologize for taking the spotlight away from Mr Fox who has more integrity and humanity on his pinky than that evil radio thug but I can't help it

9. Keep Trashing Rushbo...Drive Those Women Away...
No wonder this dude has gone through so many women (or beards)...he's got the tact of a slug.

In a pissing match between Fat Boy and Alec Keaton, Fat Boy loses...and big time...and looks bad in the process.

Surveys show a majority of voters...especially female...are in favor of stem cell reasearch and also are sympathetic to the plight of those who suffer from illnesses that could be cured by SSR. Many women...especially younger ones...we canvassed last year, tied Stem Cells to Abortion...that it's a personal matter and the government has no business sticking their nose into people's private lives.

Fox's story is well known and this is akin to Rushbo saying that Christopher Reeve faked his paralysis. These people were upfront with their personal tragedies and none has been a public in recent years as Fox. I admire him for coming forward with such a dibilitating illness and I expect the blowback on Rushbo for this callous act of political ass-covering will backfire.

Rushbo's job this election has been to play "whip"...keeping the wingnuts in line. He also is their source for talking points and conveluted logic. I've already heard several morons astroturf this "Fox is faking" line on C-SPAN this morning. It's showing how desperate the Repugnicans are when Rushbo is their attack dog in these final stages...and strictly to keep the the wingnuts in line.

The sweetest thought is the bloodletting within the GOOP that will happen after this election...win or lose.

This "smooth move" may just put Claire McCaskill over the top...I think she owes her fellow "show me stater" a thank-you.

11. Marty McFly Takes The Fat Bastard Down
Edited on Wed Oct-25-06 08:08 AM by Binka
It is not just woman disgusted by this filthy utterance by Fatty McViagra, there has been a universal outcry over this reprehensible uncouth unforgivable statement. Fatty just pulled a Foley. He will not recover from this.

16. Doesn't Rush remind you of Biff?
A big old bully that needs to be brought down to size.

12. What is most clear to me is that he's still an intelligent, thoughtful man
trapped in a body over which he has no control. Trapped. The callous disregard that so many people show to the ill...as though they no longer matter...People with parkinson's matter, people with diabetes matter, people with devastating injuries matter. This is a moral issue for me. I will never understand letting someone suffer when we haven't tried EVERYTHING!

14. Well, I hope the Blowhole That is Rush keeps spewing about MJF's ad.
His moronic, distasteful and disgusting statements about Michael J. Fox will keep Fox and stem cell research in the public eye. By the way, Rush, Karma calling for you on line 1.

17. Great interview; nearly brought me to tears. Not because of
the involuntary movements he makes, but because of the emotion in his voice, especially in part two of the interview. Rush can go fug himself. The majority of Americans HAVE hearts, and want stem cell research.

18. Watching him is simply heartbreaking.
There is no other word for it. It's heartbreaking to see how the illness has affected him.
