Michael J Fox: "Despicable" and "A Fraud"--Youtuber
http://youtube.com/watch?v=a9WB_PXjTBo

No matter what party you belong to, using an individual with a disease is outrageous. What is even more dispicable is the fact that Michael J. Fox is using his illness for political purposes. He clearly is overexaggerating his symptoms to appeal to the less educated who do not know that he is a fraud.

2. I hope YouTube also has the ad he did for RETHUG Specter
Watch that and THEN say Fox is "using his illness for political purposes."

3. .
"to appeal to the less educated" ...the irony.

Well yes, these people are scum. Michael J. Fox doesn't use his illness for political purposes, what he wants is to find a cure for illnesses that affect millions.
I bet that none of those have relatives with Parkinson or Alzheimers. Otherwise they wouldn't be such inhumane pricks.

5. Actually the poster (unbeknownst to him) makes a good point
The "less educated" are the ones who oppose stem cell research or any sort of medical advance to help all mankind and would vote for talent. So yeah, fox wants to appeal to the less educated by educating them. Would that be irony squared??

9. I already applaud stem cell research, but if I had a debilitating
disease, I would be on it 24/7. I admire him and I hope Michael keeps it up, dems or pugs. The research is the key.

13. Wrong, Pryderi. YOUR POST is despicable.
MJF has a free speech right to advocate for any goddam cause he wants. And if he wants to advocate for a cause or a political party he thinks will help him to survive a TERRIBLE and ULTIMATELY FATAL disease, that's HIS call. Not yours.

15. I really don't care about a few ignorant pukes
More than 1.5 million people have viewed the Fox ad on youtube and it has been getting national attention

That is a good thing
