Default Re: Limbaugh: Valid Point Made or Personal Attack

[ QUOTE ]
Rush says: "this commercial for Claire McCaskill he's using his illness in a way to mislead voters that there's a cure for Parkinson's disease if only Claire McCaskill gets elected, if only Jim Talent is defeated."

The thing is I'm not sure this is misleading. Michael J Fox only says the research gives him hope.

[/ QUOTE ]That's precisely right, and is what Adios should have focused on. Most of Limbaugh's text is standard political posturing but this is an important point, which Limbaugh distorts and then builds an argument on it. Michael J. Fox only wants (and supports) reasonable chances, not certainty. If he claimed certainty, he should have been called on it.

No one really claims certainity when it comes to medical cures, but it is always a long long journey, and the more time we waste before starting, the more suffering that occurs until we get something figured out.

If Rush thought about anything other then advertising dollars and keeping his audience rabid, he'd know that -
