Outraged by radio talk show host Rush Limbaugh's criticism of actor Michael J. Fox's appearance in a campaign ad, advocates for patients with Parkinson's disease are ralling from 1 to 3 p.m. tomorrow at Florida Atlantic University in Boca Raton.
Fox, who has Parkinson's, shakes uncontrollably in a commercial for Democratic U.S. Senate candidate Claire McCaskill in Missouri. Fox touts McCaskill's support for federal funding of embryonic stem cell research, which scientists say may lead to a cure for Parkinson's.
Limbaugh said of Fox's powerful appearance in the commercial: "It's purely an act.''
The Fox commercial has been watched more than 1.5 million times on the on-line video web site, www.youtube.com. For more information about tomorrow's rally, go to www.cureparkinsons.org
That is not what Rush Limbaugh said. If you listened to his comments or visited his web site you would see what he said and what he meant.
