Thumbs up Hello~ dear Thelma

dear Thelma,
I hope that it helps people -who do not understand fluctuations -
Realize that Michael J. Fox, is not "pretending" -
very cynical outlook Rush Limbaugh has?

BRAVO to MJF!
and all the Champions with Abilities - not to be thought of as DIS-abled
and Dis -respected because of the difficulties in life that can make us -
Better not Bitter!

(((hugsz)))

Lightbulb MICHAEL fights back!

INSIDE EDITION

MICHAEL FIGHT'S BACK!



The nation is still talking about Michael J. Fox's passionate reaction to accusations by conservative talk show host Rush Limbaugh that he deliberately exaggerated his Parkinson's disease symptoms.

"He used the word victim and on another occasion he used the word pitiable. No one in this position wants pity. I could give a damn about Rush Limbaugh's pity or anyone else's pity," Fox told Katie Couric on CBS Evening News.

In the exclusive interview, Fox's symptoms were disturbingly obvious.
At one point his uncontrolled movements shook loose his microphone, and Couric clipped it back on for him.

Fox flew in from for the interview from Illinois, where he was on the campaign trail supporting the Democratic Senate candidate Tammy Duckworth.

Fox responded to Limbaugh's suggestions that Fox had failed to take his medication intentionally to appear more sympathetic in the ad.

"The irony is I was too medicated," Fox said.

Without any medication, the limbs and muscles of a person with Parkinson's disease become stiff. One unfortunate side effect of the medication is that the physical movements of the affected person are wild and out of control.

Fox said he can't manipulate his symptoms, and he's at the mercy of his medication.

When the furor erupted over Fox's political commercial supporting stem cell research, Fox said his mother was angrier than he was.

"When the comments were made she was the only one I spoke to who was really angry," Fox said. "She said 'I can't even see straight.' I said 'mom, it's okay.'"

Rush Limbaugh reacted to the interview on his radio show, saying "Now we're politicizing the disease. This is as disingenuous as it can be. It's not honest."

Outspoken conservative Ann Coulter told INSIDE EDITION Michael J. Fox shouldn't have made the ad if he didn't want to face an attack.
"One of the most despicable violent things the left does is to send out spokesman in the middle of an important public debate that the public is not allowed to respond to," she said. "I think it's as ugly as it gets."

Donald Trump however defended Fox, saying, " Michael J. Fox is a great guy I know him well. I did his show a long time ago. He's braver than all of us. I wish him well and I think he happens to be right."

Default No ducking

It makes me so angry when Ann Coulter (and others) say that Mike was "sent out" by the "left" as a spokesman.

I think it was Mike's decision to campaign for those candidates and make those ads; he's not beholden to anyone but himself. And nowhere has there been any implication any where that he was or is beyond criticism. He took it on the chin and still held his head high! Bring it on!
