I understand Rush’s rights to free speech, and I used to dismiss most of his garbage hoping it was intended as comedy or parody or something. But I’m appalled at how many people take their cue from him on serious issues.
Now I hope Michael J Fox gets a team of lawyers and sues Rush off the air. I’m not sure of the legal definitions for defamation or libel, but I’d guess there might be grounds.
Interestingly enough, former Republican senator John Danforth has shied away from endorsing Jim Talent for re-election. The stem cell issue is one reason why. Danforth supports stem cell research (his brother died of ALS), whereas Talent opposes it.
