Possibly worse than making fun of someone's disability is saying that it's imaginary. That is not to mock someone's body, but to challenge a person's guts, integrity, sanity.
To Rush Limbaugh on Monday, Michael J. Fox looked like a faker. The actor, who suffers from Parkinson's disease, has done a series of political ads supporting candidates who favor stem cell research, including Maryland Democrat Ben Cardin, who is running against Republican Michael Steele for the Senate seat being vacated by Paul Sarbanes.
"He is exaggerating the effects of the disease," Limbaugh told listeners. "He's moving all around and shaking and it's purely an act. . . . This is really shameless of Michael J. Fox. Either he didn't take his medication or he's acting."
of course that backdoor-to-the-future guy is faking it... wasn't he in the news awhile back for saying that he basically stopped taking his meds on purpose before making an appearance in public? too lazy to look it up, but i do remember it... not that he doesnt have parkinson's disease, but to try and exagerate it in order to gain more sympathy or make a point is kinda fucked up.
sucks though... always been a fan.
