“It’s always easy to manipulate people’s feelings, especially when you are talking about diseases that are so difficult.”
- Laura Bush, on Michael J. Fox appealing for voters to vote for stem cell research advocates
You've probably heard about Rush Limbaugh poking fun at Michael J. Fox and his Parkinson's (video here). Real class act. Then again, he's a junkie, so we should know what little to expect from him. Not to mention a guy who gets busted for Viagra possession on his way to an island known for young boy sex.
More on this issue, including Limbaugh's BS, FAUXNews keeps pretending he was acting, actors and athletes run an ad against stem cell research. Wait? Aren't Republicans AGAINST actors and athletes interfering with politics? Never mind.
And of course, Colbert's take on the Limbaugh angle.
This, of course, is just another part of Republican dirty tricks and dirty election ads.
NPR is also carrying a series on the language of the administration, post 9-11. If you are tuning out politics, at least check that one out.
Plus an older article by Bruce Schneier, effectively titled "Refuse to be terrorized."
