The sad part is that some people are actually focusing on this commercial as the bad thing, instead of focusing on Limbaugh's complete intolerance and ignorance. So what if he was off his meds, it shows how horrible the disease is either way.

If he was off his meds, then it shows how hard it is for people with Parkinson's disease who can't afford the help and medicine that Fox can afford. That is the real issue here. How bad does it get for people who aren't as priveledged as he? Plus, like Fox said, Parkinson's is a disease that on any given day, you get what you get.

Limbaugh sure didn't come out a few years back with any comments when Fox was backing a Republican who supported stem cell research, why is that? He didn't make a single comment about those commercials. How come?

What outrages me isn't the commercial, nor Rush's comments, but his little acting job immitating someone with Parkinson's disease. He should be ashamed of himself. I hope he has to live with something as bad as Parkinson's before he dies. I truly truly do.

The good thing is, that this ad bashing by Limbaugh blew up in his face and has boosted this commercial to a nationwide thing. If he had kept his fat fucking mouth shut, it would have been shown in a couple markets and noone would have been the wiser, but now it's on CNN 10-15 times a day. Even the Republicans are distancing themselves from Limbaugh. I love it when the whole shit brick goes up in flames.
excellent post.
