True, these web polls are highly unscientific. But for what it's worth at this time 79% of the respondents say he wasn't. Looks like OxyRush is losing his base just like the rethuglican party is. Soon they will both be relegated to history.

2. done & recommended - let's show that pig crack addict!

3. Why such a question in the first place? "Poll" if Rush is an ass instead.

What next? "Do you agree that the democrat party wants the terrorists to "win?"

[BurtWorm]

4. Why is CBS sinking so deep into the gutter to even ask such a stupid

question?

:grr:

5. For Christ sakes, why do they insult a man with a terrible affliction?

Just having this stupid poll is despicable. Michael J. Fox shouldn't answer to Limbaugh or anyone else. Leave the man alone.

And Limbaugh can rot in hell, the sooner the better.

14. What Lastlaugh said

[WildEyedLiberal]

26. Amen

This poll is as offensive as Limbaugh's evil words.

6. Think about this...

Rush is such a washed up piece of S*** that this is the only way he can remain in the spotlight! S*cks to be him. Peace, KIm

7. Are the executives at CBS old, stinky Nazis?

enod

[Fridays Child]

8. K&R but it f'ing sickens me that this poll even exists.

:cry:

[unblock]

9. so the logic is, if he exaggerated, then stem cell funding is bad?

the political logic of personal insults is amazing. the right wing is now mean just to be mean. they can't help themselves.

10. 79.82%

11. All a Republican has to do to incite debate is to make an asinine statement.

And watch the media jump on the bandwagon with things like, "Some people say," or "Some experts say." Fucking dipshits.

12. Done

[SalmonChantedEvening]

16. Asking the question is sick. That is NOT a poll question.

What the fuck is wrong with these people? I'm so sick of these people allowing the Limbaughs of the world to define the line of debate.

If they had to do a poll on this situation, the question should be "should the wider media give any coverage to claims made by people like Rush Limbaugh?".

[ourbluenation]

17. what a sickening thing to do.

[Rex]

18. The poll is crap.

Why not do one on everyone with a disease? Are they faking it?

Who the HELL has the right to ask that question?

[Straight Shooter]

19. WTF? Don't ask me. Ask Senator Frist. He diagnoses by video.

Diagnose this, CBS: :banghead:

[Gregorian]

20. Gee, was BUSH exaggerating when he said Saddam had WMD's?

And just what IS important?

[Rockstone]

21. Would it matter if he had?

The man has the disease and that is what it does to people.

Are we supposed to believe that somehow tremors are NOT associated With the disease? Is that what Rush wants us to believe? Or that Fox doesn't have it?

[bigwillq]

22. Done

Was Michael J. Fox exaggerating his Parkinson's disease symptoms for political effect?


Yes:
12.21%
No:
81.16%
Don't know:
6.64%


What a disgusting poll. :puke:

[DesertRat]

23. Done. No 81%

[BlueEyedSon]

24. EXAGGERATING PARKINSON'S? is that like exaggerating cancer or AIDS?

hey baby I'm all about exaggerating poverty and exaggerating CEO pay compensation packages.

[Toucano]

25. Scientific or unscientific isn't really my issue in this case.

The problem with the poll is that respondents aren't qualified to answer the question.

If they had asked, "Do you think Michael J. Fox was..." it would be different, but it's not what they're asking.

This happens a lot lately. People are increasingly being called upon to express their opinions as facts as if we're all entitled to our own facts.

[hedgehog]

27. I think the sub-text of the poll is "are you willing to go along with Rush

and mock a sick man?"

[patricia92243]

28. Done.

[cui bono]

29. Yes: 12.46% - No: 81.14% - Don't know: 6.41% n/t

30. The freeps must have got wind of this poll.

Now it's

Y = 72%

N = 20%

[Mr_Spock]

31. Fucking ass hole Freepers

Those cowards are only showing that they are ass holes of the worst kind once again.
