First, if anything, there was an outcry against conservative blowhards like Rush Limbaugh coming out and accusing Fox of "faking" his own disease. Lest we forget Rush's own issues with drugs and medication. But I guess that's ok, because he supports Bush and is thus a good American.
I disagree. I don't think that people are going to run out and vote Democrat because of Michael J. Fox. However, there will be a segment of voters who will vote Republican because of this.
The fact is that Michael J. Fox has admitted in the past that he has not taken his medication before interviews to make his symptoms look worse. But you call Limbaugh a "conservative blowhard" for accurately pointing this out.
Let's just say that Limbaugh "botched a joke."

a) Where's the WMDs? Close to four years in Iraq now and they still haven't been found. And I don't think anyone is expecting to find them anymore, because he didn't have any!
Good grief. Are you really unaware about the declassified portions of the National Ground Intelligence Center report? They have found at least 500 WMD.

b) Show us evidence as to Saddam trying to build an atom bomb. The uranium from Niger story was refuted years ago. But it seems you're still stuck in the past, so I'll give you a pass on it. Or, actually not, because people like you who are so brainwashed and uneducated scare me.
Good God man, it was on the front page of the NY Times the other day. It was their October Surprise on the Bush Administration...look how stupid the Bush admin is for posting Saddam's nuclear secrets on the internet (they were promptly taken off the govt website)...
"Among the dozens of documents in English were Iraqi reports written in the 1990s and in 2002 for United Nations inspectors in charge of making sure Iraq had abandoned its unconventional arms programs after the Persian Gulf war. Experts say that at the time, Mr. Hussein’s scientists were on the verge of building an atom bomb, as little as a year away."

This article is in your hometown paper dated Nov 3, 2006, and you call me "uneducated and brainwashed" for saying that Saddam was 1 year away from building an atom bomb.
Are you a parody or for real?

c) No, Saddam did not support international terrorism.
"President Saddam Hussein has recently told the head of the Palestinian political office, Faroq al-Kaddoumi, his decision to raise the sum granted to each family of the martyrs of the Palestinian uprising to $25,000 instead of $10,000,” --Iraqi deputy prime minister Tariq Aziz, as reported by Reuters on March 11, 2002.
I've seen pics of the checks on the internet!
Where did an injured Al Zarqawi flee when Afghanistan was liberated? To Iraq where he was treated in a hospital owned by Uday Hussein.
Where did Abdul Rahman Yasin (wanted by FBI for the bombing of the World Trade Center attack in 1993) flee? Who gave Yasin free housing and put him on a govt salary? Then there's Abu Nidal and Abu Abbas, two notorious terrorists who sought and got safe haven in Saddam's Iraq.
I'm constantly amazed when Democrats claim that the US armed Iraq--and show the pic of Rummy shaking hands with Saddam (but they ignore the pic of Madeleine Albright shaking hands with Kim Jong Il when Clinton gave him nuclear materials). To an extent, the US did arm Iraq. SIPRI (a Swedish Peace Research group) has a report that says that the US did arm Iraq--to the tune of 1% of its arms. Russia was at 57%, France at 13%, and China at 12%--82% of Iraq's arms came from these 3 countries who had veto power on the UN's Security Council; all owed billions by Saddam.

I looked at both of the links you posted. They do not say what you say they say. Perhaps you might want to consider reading them in their entirety
The first link from fox speaks about decayed chemical weapons.
The second has a retraction attached to it dated 7 november 06.
If bush&co had any evidence to bolster their position it would be all over the news media.
Shotgun Dick was on "Meet the Press" a few weeks ago and agreed that there were no wmd in Iraq and the the only reason we went to Iraq was for regime change and we would have gone in and done that regardless.
