Big Mouth, Fat Foot

It's in chapter 8.

Fox says, in the ad, that Steele wants to make stem-cell research illegal, someting Steele has never said, or even alluded to. Right now, it is a constitutional right for doctors to harvest eggs, fertile or not, from compensated women.

See above.

I'm not sure of Sttele's complete platform. I do know he never said what Fox is accusing him of saying.

 

Lies are not justice.

 

Hmmm...shall we censure yours, as they have nothing to with the OP? BTW, Christian and conservative are not synonymous.

:wavey: Welcome to the BB, from yet another "liberal".

Funny, I also read the book, and do not remember seeing this, at least not in the context you are claiming. Are you sure you are not paraphrasing? Would you be so kind as to post the actual quote and page number?

:laugh: Once again, how very ironic.

 

I am sure you know that it was cleared up by the prescribing Dr. himself. The Dr. told the airport athorities that he prescribed the medication to his own name to protect Limbaughs privacy. I am sure you can find that in a paper post June 27, 2006

Like I said legit

 

You sum up my position correctly.

 

Who would that be?

 

That Rush Limbaugh has opened his mouth and put his foot in it too many times to be taken seriously. Of course, his fellow dittoheads don't have a problem with that.

 

No, I can't. How do you remember the quote ?

 

I suppose it's too much to ask that we discuss what was said, instead of insulting each other ? It's very obviouis only two people here heard the acyual broadcast. The rest are piling on after.

 

Another point worth noting is that the shaking is a result of the medication, not a result of not taking the medication.

It is simply further proof that Rush is a bad guy. I cannot believe that I was a Dittohead for all those years......

Yeah, right. How many doctors prescribe medication for themselves when in actuality it is for another person? Is that considered ethical? How hard would it be to go to another doctor and get the same prescription, only this time for yourself? Would your doctor do it? If you were the one caught with the prescription that was not in your name, what would happen to you?

Nice try though...

I thought he had other companionship where he was? I could be wrong.

 

lol, Rush always Sicks Foot in Mouth... I guess most all Celeberties do this one time or all the time *tee hee* :1_grouphug:

 

It happens all the time when a person of public interest wants some privacy. This was all in the news shortly after the incident. Yes it is ethical, the Dr. prescribed the medication and wrote his own name as the prescribe and gave the bottle to Rush.

If I was caught I would be detained until I could contact my Dr. to clear it up. That is what happened. Why dont you explain why there was not charges filed.

Nice try though...

 

Bottom line he is discussing the issue that Fox is useing his disease for political sympaty and that is not right. You are the one not discussing the issue by taking one sentence he said and removing it from context and attacking the person who is discussing the issue.

 

Thanks! You saved me a lot of typing, and I am sure I could not have put it as well as you did. I agree completely!

BTW, when I first heard Rush say this on his show, I thought it was ironic that he would comment on being "off his medications" considering his desire for painkillers. And, yes I do listen to Rush for thirty minutes during my lunch; it's all I can stand of him.

Nice try though BiR......

 

I also heard Rush's program, and know exactally what was said and the attitude with which it was said. It was mentioned that Michael J. stated in his book that he went off his meds before appearing before the senate committee....... to make a more dramatic statement of the ravages of the disease. I could easily imagine that in his passion for the cause that he would do the same for emtional impact for this commercial.....

But that is not offensive to me. What is offensive to me is that the cause he is trying to push is "embryonic" stem cell research. Yes, I have a problem with that. And if you support embryonic research, I have a problem with you.

I was diagnosed a year and a half ago with a very terminal condition. Dr. told my wife that I wouldn't make it three years. Now this ain't for sympathy cause I have responded well to treatments and looks like I might be on of those who beats the odds...... but I will tell you that if my life depended on it I'd rather go on to spend eternity with my savior than be benifited by this embryonic sacrafice. And that is what I would consider it. I have no respect for Michael J. or for Chris Reeves who would choose the to allow that sacrafice to the benifit their condition.

So whether you want to consider it a D/R issue or a Rush/Fox issue, I consider it a basic moral issue and I am against the D/Fox side of the issue.........

 

Amen, Well said. And I am praying for you and your illness.
