Democrat "infallability"

Mike Gallagher:

Since Democrats think us Republicans are all a bunch of ogres, why don’t I just give them what they want: Boy, that Michael J. Fox character sure does have some nerve, doesn’t he? I mean, the guy deserves to suffer from Parkinson’s disease since he’s a Hollywood liberal. He probably wants to twitch and jerk around when on camera. Matter of fact, he probably likes having Parkinson’s. It keeps him in the limelight. And while we’re on the subject, I really wish people like him would just stop whining about their problems. We all have problems.

That pretty much sums up what liberals think about us, right? We’re just a bunch of mean-spirited jerks that have no compassion, no sympathy; no understanding of what it means to suffer physical adversity or personal tragedy.

...

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…………

That is really what this is about. The Dems and their media allies have gone into the full "How dare they..." mad dog attack mode over the criticism of the Michael Fox ad. Omitted from all these stories is his statement in his book that he testified before congress without taking his meds to making a bigger impact. He has recently said that he had taken his meds before this ad, but some who suffer from Parkinson disease have said the same effect can be achieved by taking too much medication. Then there is the fact that what he said was just flat wrong. But, after Rush stirred the "How dare they.." hornets nest, honesty in reporting flew out the window.
