Another Hollywood Liberal trying to corrupt Heartland values... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a9WB_PXjTBo&eurl= (I don't know how to do YouTube in posts... others are welcomed to try.)
I think Clutch disables the ability to post these sorts of videos in the Hangout occasionally, so preview it before you post it. Should work fine in the D&D.

Rush Limbaugh accused Fox of acting or not taking his medication in the ad, saying he's never seen him like that before. When people told Rush otherwise, he offered a half ass apology, actually, saying he will apologize if he's proven wrong and then still criticized him for appearing in the ad and using his illness. Limbaugh on Michael J. Fox ad for MO Dem: "Either he didn't take his medication or he's acting" Summary: Rush Limbaugh accused actor Michael J. Fox, who has been diagnosed with Parkinson's disease, of "exaggerating the effects of the disease" in a recent campaign advertisement for Missouri Democratic Senate candidate Claire McCaskill. Limbaugh added that "this is really shameless of Michael J. Fox. Either he didn't take his medication or he's acting, one of the two." On the October 23 edition of his nationally syndicated radio program, Rush Limbaugh accused actor Michael J. Fox, who has Parkinson's disease, of "exaggerating the effects of the disease" in a recent campaign advertisement for Missouri Democratic Senate candidate Claire McCaskill. In the ad, Fox endorses McCaskill for supporting embryonic stem cell research, which her opponent, incumbent Republican Sen. Jim Talent, opposes. Noting that Fox is "moving all around and shaking" in the ad, Limbaugh declared: "And it's purely an act. This is the only time I have ever seen Michael J. Fox portray any of the symptoms of the disease he has." Limbaugh added that "this is really shameless of Michael J. Fox. Either he didn't take his medication or he's acting, one of the two." Later in the broadcast, Limbaugh stated that "I will bigly, hugely admit that I was wrong, and I will apologize to Michael J. Fox if I am wrong in characterizing his behavior on this commercial as an act, especially since people are telling me they have seen him this way on other interviews and in other television appearances." However, Limbaugh then returned to criticizing Fox, stating that "Michael J. Fox is using his illness as a way to mislead voters into thinking that their vote for a single United States senator has a direct impact on stem cell research in Missouri. It doesn't, and it won't." read the transcript here and listen to the clip:http://mediamatters.org/items/200610240001
I thought I had seen how low this man could go. Limbaugh proved me wrong. This is a new low, even for him. He is one totally sick human being. That there are people who worship him is even more sickening. The man can read the polls, and knows what's coming. He is freaking out, and desperation can make weak people, which is what he certainly is, do desperate things. This was beyond the pale. Keep D&D Civil.
Fox is implying that republicans do not support stem cell research. But they do, they only oppose embryiotic research that kills the child. I hate these types of ads. Anyone who criticizes the ad comes out as the bad guy.
Probably because instead of just saying the message is wrong, Rush and people who will be defending him on all the news shows this week will say he was faking his symptoms.
Uhm.. if you've ever watched those Republican terror ads, they use the very logic you speak of. They'll cite voting against the military commisions act and then say that you coddle terrorists or somehow support them. The two are mutually exclusive. You can oppose terrorism and disagree on the method of prosecuting them but the Republicans have become masterful at taking complicated issues and reducing them to a black/white paradigm of supporting everything the president does or supporting terrorists. I'd love to get into a stem cell debate, but I won't waste anyone's time on that issue. Anyway, the cartoonish simplification of issues seems to occur a lot more often on the other side of the aisle.
how does embryiotic research "kill" the child? they dont actually kill children for the explicit purpose of embryiotic research, do they?
