siamo tutti con te!!!
sei un grande!!!!
it’s disturbing, and brings up so many emotions just watching this person.
Wow… I haven’t seen a man so faithful in a such a situation. I give you my full respect towards what your doing God bless you. Im all down for treading those waters. Why the hell not. People take MASSIVE risks to discover something great.
Wow – he is a bigger person than I to say he respects those who would [and have] BLOCKED stem cell research. It is an ignorant position for archaic reasons, that actually contradicts the term “pro-life”. So much time was wasted during the previous administration – so much of this man’s life on hold for stupidness. I am astounded by the ignorance that still exists in this country and equally frustrated by it. Stay brave Michael.
@basicscaboose asshole
I didn’t think his symptoms were as bad as they appear here. He doesn’t seem to move as much in other interviews?
Parkinson hits the greatest people
i think he crosses his legs so that way it doesnt sound like he is tap dancing lol
hes got a point, these embryos are going to be destoryed and thus killed, but I think that speaks more for inethical invitro fertilization techniques. I would absolutely draw the line at the practice of creating embryos for the sole purpose of stem cell research, there are other ways to harvest stem cells.
Rush Limbastard is a worthless pile of shit.
tears, this is not fair he is such a doll
I would personally like to slap Rush with a 2×4 for Michael, but I’m sure he (Michael)would decline. He would probably want me to use a 4×4.
@ratboy528 Fuck you man. It’s no laughing business.
Mike is right!
Ignore him, just like the whole country did during the 2008 elections!
If Rush were just a little bit smarter, he’d be a dumbass!
@aliesneo I have the same disease, Michael J Fox is my hero, for going out being brave, I am a coward, who stays home, I don’t take medication either, I don’t want people to know I have it, I am ashamed, I’m glad Michael is speaking out like this :’)
Michael J Fox is my hero, anyone that makes fun of him is an asshole.
lol “Im over that naw” MJ Fox forever!!
I love how in every interview you see him in, and you can see the WAY he is sitting, he still sits professionally. Regardless of what his Parkinson’s is doing he keeps his stature professional and doesn’t get his back up when someone “attacks” him. He if professional and straight forward with his opinions. From someone who suffers from Dystonia I can say proudly, that people like Michael J. Fox and my mother don’t let their disorder rule their lives. They make the best of it and move forward.
i grew up with this guy, family ties, teen wolf, spin city, and back to the future. he has parkinson’s, and Rush Limbaugh attacks him like that? i’m not saying Rush is evil, but what kind of an asshole is he?
I would like to think that rush limbaugh would research before he opens his mouth. But seriously, regardless of if his symptoms are acting up or not, regardless of if some think it is such a crime to inflict sympathy to promote awareness, regardless if rush thinks he can reel in a few more ratings by reenacting symptoms of a disease he is safely without, if it’s for a cause to save lives for our futures as well as our childrens, then why attack it? Seriously? America! Love it!
fuck rush limbaugh
Omg poor guy! I hope he’s dealing with it well.
Micheal hits the nail on the head…and his mention of ALS reminded me of what it was like to slowly watch my father die in agony.
Fuck you Rush Limbaugh…and fuck all your mindless conservative fans who defended you.
You are right, Michael! To heck with Limbaugh, don’t pay him no mind. He’s a dumbass drug addict looking for anything to criticize. Godspeed to you. My prayers are with you.
