Rush's comments were completely out of line. There really isn't an excuse for what he said, especially with all that Fox has done to get out awareness about the disease.
Being from Missouri, where the ads are being shown, I have some thoughts:
#1: Claire McCaskill (the Democratic Senate candidate) should not have used MJFox in her ads. Why? Because it makes it seem like Amendment 2 (which would allow gov't funds to go directly to Stem Cell Research) is a partisan issue. It's not! If MJFox was used--it shouldn't have been by a political candidate but should've talked about why it's important to have bipartisan support (like the ads featuring former MO Republican Senator Danforth).
#2: Rush Limbaugh doesn't know crap about stem cell research. When he gets a disease that would be cured if people could do stem cell research, he'll wish he hadn't made those comments. He can go hang out with Sean Hannity and think that one over.
#3: Stem Cell Research in Missouri does NOT equal cloning. The idiots who are talking about that need to do their own research.
Even if Fox is acting, (let's face it, it's possible) this kind of attack is dumb.
