Olbermann Blasts Limbaugh for Attack on Michael J. Fox (video)

According to Rush Limbaugh Parkinson's disease is just another Liberal Plot and Michael J. Fox is just another actor!

Included are clips of Michael J. Fox and clips of hillbilly heroin and viagra addict Rush Limbaugh actually ridiculing people with Parkinson's disease!

I was hoping to post Katy Couric's interview of Michael but it doesn't seem to be at Youtube (yet?). Thankfully, John Amato at Crooks and Liars has it!

Here's an excerpt from John's astute comments on the Slimebaugh:

Watching Fox's condition up close and personal is so sad to see and for Rush to mock him for a political agenda is tragic. Limbaugh will never apologize or honestly regret what he's done because it's part of a long term strategy to once again attack the messenger.

Fortunately most of us are not strung out on hillbilly heroin and actually have something called compassion. Fortunately, Michael's ad is waking people up to the reality-based world, you know the world where people actually have real diseases that need real cures.

The Michael J. Fox Effect

"Republicans who indicated that they were voting for a Republican candidate decreased by 10% after viewing the ad (77% to 67%). Independents planning to vote for Democrats increased by 10%, from 39% to 49%."
