I have MS. If you look at a video of me from 4 years ago, compared to a video of me today...you'll see a difference.

I am NOT "off my meds"...that is just the nature of progressive neurological diseases.

By attacking MJF with the "off his meds" verbage (which no one can prove), it seems as though the conservatives are "ignorant" of the disease process and the effect of the meds that are taken for it (as I said before, his meds can and do cause the same type of movements seen in the commercial.)

So he admitted that once he didn't take them...that's not going to hold water unless someone gets him to admit he didn't take them in this case.

I just think attacking the man is akin to the Dems making fun of Rush when he lost his hearing and blaming it on his Vicodin use (hearing loss can be a side effect of overuse of that drug.) It just should be avoided at all cost. Attack the message...that should suffice.

It's not wise to "judge" another's state of illness.

"So he admitted that once he didn't take them"

And why did he not take them? What was the reason?

You're talking about an answer. Rush asked a question. While I did not know of the prior incident, I too looked at that commercial and wondered what was happening. I've know a number of people with the same disease and that rocking behavior was new to me.
