Rush Limbaugh compares Michael J. Fox to Daffy Duck

Well that is what the expert on meds said would be the headline from the "drive by media" so there it is out there on the internet.

Now Rush listeners heard his spinning rambling backtracking but for those who didn't happen to have the Gannon's "bottom" on their radio here is a synopsis.

Rush wasn't attacking Fox FOX was the one who did the attacking. HE STARTED IT!

"Victims" such as Fox are never challenged on anything they say. They play, or exploit, their victimization for all the cover it is worth and that is why this is so unfair-Rush is the victim of the victim and since the victim is never questioned on anything Rush is the victim of merely stating that Fox is wrong and now Rush is being victimized for it.
-That was basically the gist of the whole first hour. Same old same old, Rush has made a living being the main icon of the culture of victimization (the Judy Garland of that whole lifestyle). When WILL the white man ever get a fair chance???

Rush mentioned that his fellow victims have an ad countering Fox with FACTS which you can see here.

He also had an article that just happened to be published today which says that Michael J. Fox is wrong.
The Unconscionable Claims of Michael J. Fox
It's written by a real live doctor and all.
See there is no evidence of any success of any kind from adult stem cell research so that means that they never will be and that the same necessarily applies to embryonic stem cell research.

Oh and he lead off with the fact that only Inside Edition gave him a fair shake on this and didn't add to his horrible victimization. He mentioned several times that Fox admitted that he took meds so they would kick in while he was testifying which means (if I follow) that Rush was completely right after all or something like that.


Oh and somewhere in the midst of all this Rush explained that he is against liberals and liberalism but there seem to be no reason to bring that up in the context of this issue. I guess he is just tired of being the victim for feeling so strongly and passionately about that.

That was Ann Coulter's spin on the 9/11 widows.:grr:

Maybe they should stop picking on people like this or maybe they should both just shut the hell up.

Hey aren't they both single and available? Why wouldn't they have gotten together by now?

It is NOT true that you can't challenge victims on their opinions. Here's the problem, though- to respond to a victim such as Fox or the 9/11 widows, you actually have to have a REASONED argument, supported by FACTS. *You can't just attack their character*- because, more or less, their character, their motive for the things they say, is untouchable.

And THAT is what the Republicans HATE. They absolutely can not stand that you are not allowed to assassinate the character of people who voice an opinion where those people have a blatantly obvious emotional stake in the argument.

And they hate it because THAT is all Republicans do. They do not have reasoned arguments for their positions. They operate entirely on social politics. They, at go, will attempt to alienate those with whom they disagree by questioning the character- often the personal strength- of the person, instead of trying to make valid points.

very well said.

The worst part here, for Rush and his kind, is that Fox knows what he is talking about.

:thumbsup:

The kings and queens of ad hominem!:grr:

Without any of the nice qualities...

pointedly avoid subtracting from the dignity of the physically disabled, or those who visibly suffer from some physical condition beyond their control.

I would be interested in asking Mr. Limbaugh why he felt his parents did not impart that lesson to him.

Part of him, at least?

:rofl:

only Rush loses in that comparison, too.

Cartman is MUCH nicer than Rush (More honest about what he thinks, too!)

They really have it made don't they!


:sarcasm:

efforts to invent the lightbulb. It just can't be done, the guy has failed 500 times.

Victimization?? limbaugh has rode his anal cyst for 25 years of sympathy from our dumbass neighbors. And how bout his drug problems? Oh lets pray for rush and hope he gets better. Throw all the other drug abusers in jail. My heart aches for them.

just, plain mean people. and we all know...mean people suck.

Even worse than Ann Coulter's smearing of decorated war veteran Max Cleland last week are the fawning right-wingers now trumpeting her lies.

Ann Coulter just won't stop assaulting the man with no legs and one arm -- but now she claims it's in self-defense. With characteristic panache, she insists that she is the real victim, because her slurs against former Georgia Sen. Max Cleland have provoked outraged protest. She's particularly indignant that some critics (including me) have branded her a liar. And in response, she has compounded her original lies.

Like many other conservatives, Coulter has watched with increasing fury as Cleland and other Democrats discussed the president's spotty service record in the National Guard. By last week, she had become so enraged that she wrote a column -- posted on patriotic Web sites such as the Heritage Foundation's Townhall.com and David Horowitz's FrontPageMagazine.com -- composed largely of insults to Cleland's integrity and record of service in Vietnam.

"Max Cleland should stop allowing Democrats to portray him as a war hero who lost his limbs taking enemy fire on the battlefields of Vietnam," she demanded. Coulter went on to mock the grenade explosion that wounded Cleland so grievously as "an accident during a routine non-combat mission where he was about to drink beer with friends." With leaden sarcasm, she noted that Cleland "could have dropped a grenade on his foot as a National Guardsman." As she surely knows by now, he didn't drop a grenade at all. He picked up a grenade that he thought had fallen off his web gear.

As he learned many years later, another, less experienced soldier had dropped that lethal object -- and had mistakenly straightened the pin so that it detonated instantly when Cleland picked it up. There was nothing "stupid" about what he did; soldiers don't leave explosives lying around for their comrades to step on.
