One more word about the Michael J. Fox controversy: Ann Coulter was the first person to bravely point out what she calls the “doctrine of infallibility” of the left. Liberals love the idea of taking a sympathetic figure like Michael J. Fox, turning him into a political activist, and practically daring anyone to say anything critical of him. After all, what kind of cruel, vicious person criticizes a person with Parkinson’s, right?
She wrote about this devious and manipulative strategy in her book, “Godless”, when referring to the four 9/11 widows from New Jersey who became Democratic Party activists. All she said was that when these types of people make a decision to enter the political arena, it’s almost infantile to expect that their views are off-limits.
Rush Limbaugh attempted to say the same thing after his criticism of Michael J. Fox. In fact, I think Rush even used the word, “infallibility” in explaining his on-air remarks.
But the mainstream media isn’t about to pass up a nice potshot at Limbaugh. Just like Ann Coulter is constantly portrayed as some kind of vicious shrew, Rush was described as a mean conservative who didn’t care one whit about Michael J. Fox and his condition. After having worked with Rush at WABC in New York for a couple of years and getting the chance to know him a bit, I know that nothing is further from the truth.
But truth won’t get in the way of a good old fashioned conservative-bashing by the media elite.
So since they don’t really care about what’s true and what isn’t, I guess I’ll get back to business: I like to steal candy from little children. I pull the wings off flies. I push little old ladies out of the way…………
