RUSH: One of these many articles about the ‘flap,\u2019 as they are calling it, over the Michael J. Fox ad, is one in which they asked some professor about my remarks from a communications point of view. It was either in the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette today or the Baltimore Sun. Both of those papers have done ‘analysis pieces\u2019 here, and of course I\u2019m just being who I am: a bomb thrower or what have you. It\u2019s amazing after all these years. This is a communications <\/emphasize>professor, and these guys still don\u2019t get what happens here! <\/p>\n

All of these experts, all of these learned people, and they still don\u2019t understand why this program is a success and why you\u2019re there and how we connect with each other. They just don\u2019t get it — which is fine. I just find it amazing. These are supposedly informed and learned people. Anyway, they asked some professor about my remarks from a communications point of view. Now, why don\u2019t these same stories, why don\u2019t she\u2019s same journalists bring on scientists who can attest to the fact that the ad misleads about embryonic stem cells? Why don\u2019t they do that? Why don\u2019t they go out and ask somebody about the substance. <\/emphasize>You heard Diane Sawyer on Good Morning America yesterday with Sean Hannity. Well, if he believes it, if Michael J. Fox believes it, doesn\u2019t he have the right to say it? <\/p>\n

Yes! Nobody is denying that. But when it\u2019s wrong and misleading, it\u2019s going to be called on, particularly in the political arena. Why don\u2019t they go out and get some scientists — and, by the way, they are all over the place. I have, ladies and gentlemen, in the stack here, a list. I wish I could show this to you. I\u2019m going to show it to the on the Dittocam just to get the effect of it. There\u2019s three pages of this. Let me zoom in here as best that I can. All right, there! Now, on the left side, this is ‘Benefits of Stem Cells to Human Patients<\/a>.\u2019 As you\u2019re looking at it, on the left side there is just one of three pages of diseases where adult stem cells have shown progress. <\/p>\n

On this side, all the diseases that show progress on embryonic stem cells. Zip, zero, nada! Not one disease<\/emphasize> has been impacted by embryonic stem cell research. Three pages of this, ladies and gentlemen. A total blank slate here, and these <\/emphasize>are all the diseases where adult stem cells have proven beneficial (flipping pages). You can see a blank slate versus the text: brain cancer, ovarian cancer, skin cancer, testicular cancer, tumors abdominal organs Lymphoma, lymphoma, non-Hodgkin\u2019s lymphoma, Hodgkin\u2019s lymphoma, acute lymphoblastic leukemia…. That\u2019s just some <\/emphasize>of the cancers adult stem cells are showing promise. Zip, zero, nada versus three pages of these things.<\/p>\n

In fact, there are a total of 72 diseases, 72 afflictions that have shown promising results with adult stem cells. Zero for embryonic stem cells. This is a StemCellResearch.org fact sheet: ‘Adult Stem Cells v. Embryonic Stem Cells,\u2019 effectiveness on various afflictions. Now, my question is: Why haven\u2019t the media brought on scientists who can attest to the fact that the ad misleads and misrepresents that embryonic stem cell research, as opposed to other stem cell research areas, not only is not going anywhere, but is potentially very dangerous as it is creating tumors in animals? Now, why can\u2019t the media find these scientists? Why can\u2019t the media find these scientists to attest to the misrepresentations <\/emphasize>that are in this ad? <\/p>\n

Because they don\u2019t want to, ladies and gentlemen, because that\u2019s not the point! <\/emphasize> The point is not whether the ad is true or not. The point of the ad is to elect Democrats because the ad also claims that Republicans are not interested in curing these diseases. That\u2019s the point it tries to make: Vote Democrat: you who suffer might find a cure, might be cured. With Republicans you have no prayer. <\/emphasize> Now, I don\u2019t care who you are, and I don\u2019t care what your ideology. If you have any kind of a heart, if you have just a shred of a heartbeat<\/emphasize>, that ought to repulse you like you can\u2019t believe. You ought to understand how cruel it is to advance the notion that there are cures on the horizon when there aren\u2019t. I know we all need hope, but false hope is just plain mean — all for the purposes of electing a Democrat?<\/p>\n
