Michael J. Fox: 'I Could Give a Damn About Rush Limbaugh's Pity.I'm Not A
Victim'
Rush Limbaugh has smeared Michael J. Fox, claiming that he exaggerated the
symptoms of his Parkinson's disease in an ad supporting embryonic stem cell
research. (He also mocked Fox by impersonating tremors associated with the
disease on air.) In an effort to deflect criticism, Limbaugh told Katie
Couric the following: "I believe Democrats have a long history of using
victims of various things as political spokespeople because they believe
they are untouchable, infallible, they are immune from criticism."
Last night on CBS, Fox fired back, telling Couric, "I could give a damn
about Rush Limbaugh's pity or anyone else's pity. I'm not a victim."
Transcript:
COURIC: I called Rush Limbaugh and he told me: I believe Democrats have a
long history of using victims of various things as political spokespeople
because they believe they are untouchable, infallible, they are immune from
criticism.
FOX: Well, first thing, he used the word victim. And on another occasion I
heard him use the word pitiable. And understand, nobody in this position
wants pity. We don't want pity. I could give a damn about Rush Limbaugh's
pity or anyone else's pity. I'm not a victim. I'm someone who is in this
situation. I think I'm in this situation along with millions of other
Americans, and we have a right, if there's answers out there, to pursue
those answers with the full support of our politicians. And so I don't need
anyone's permission to do that.
COURIC: You have said before this is a bipartisan problem that requires a
bipartisan solution.
FOX: No, disease is a nonpartisan problem that requires a bipartisan
solution.
COURIC: Would you support a Republican candidate?
FOX: I have. Arlen Specter is my guy. I have campaigned for Arlen Specter.
He has been a fantastic champion of stem cell research. In the meantime,
separate and apart from my political involvement, I've started a foundation
that has raised $85 million for research and is the second leading funder of
Parkinson's research after the federal government.
And, you know, it's not - I'm not a Johnny-come-lately. Nobody plucked me
off the apple cart to come and do this. I mean, I believe in this cause. I
put a lot of my life and energy into it, and I'm serious about it.

I don't understand how anyone can stand him. He's entitled to his

the lowest common denominator. That O'Reilly character is another one.
And their audience is the lowest common denominator. Unfortunately
having a working brain cell is not a voting requirement. If it were,
the number of people voting in the last few national elections would
have been more than the number who were qualified to vote.
Since when is divide by zero error the LCD? :-)

I'm hoping he loses some of his audience due to this, but I doubt it.
Anyone who's stuck with Limbaugh this long is probably a hopeless case.
Michael is hugely popular; much more so than Rush. This will cost the
Repugs a lot of votes, and it will cost Rush some of his influence.

He's cold blooded when it comes to money, the only god he really
believes in. If he could make more money by being an ultra-liberal
Democrat he'd have a sudden epiphany in about 2 attoseconds and make
Kennedy look like a Reich Whiner.

Imagine the people who believe such things and who are not ashamed
to ignore totally all the patient findings of thinking minds through all
the centuries since the Bible was written. And it is these ignorant
people, the most uneducated, the most unimaginative, the most unthinking
among us who would make themselves the guides and leaders of us all, who
would force their feeble and childish beliefs on us, who would invade
our schools and libraries and homes.
