Pace K-Lo, I have to say that I think Michael J. Fox’s anti-Talent ad is entirely within the bounds of reasonable political discourse. I know that embryonic stem-cell research offers no certainty or even likelihood of a cure for Fox’s Parkinson’s, but Fox clearly feels differently and is willing to use his own impairment to further his political cause. What’s illegitimate about that? Yes, it appeals to the heart rather than the head, but that’s politics for you. Politics ain’t beanbag. Robbie George says the ads are misleading because they don’t tell the whole truth about the nature of embryonic stem-cell research. Since when do political ads tell the whole truth about anything?
