What about the "hate" factor ? Where is the compassion? Why would someone with the bully pulpit actually mock a person with an eventually fatal disease? If Christopher Reeve were still alive, would he have been ridiculed as well?
I think he would have been. But of course, that is me simply stating my opinion. Do I still have that right, or is that right reserved for "special" opiners?

I disagree, it wasn't a mock it was anger. Rush most most upset with the misleading nature of the ad and what he called outright lies it contained. Then he coupled this with MJF being put out there in the most pathetic way possible in an what he considered an attempt to insulate the ad from challenge and it pissed him off even more.
He wasn't mocking or ridiculing him, he was however upset with him for misleading the public about an issue he is passionate about. Watch the video, listen to the tape, he wasn't laughing at him. ...he was pissed.
Does he not have the right to be upset with someone he feels is lying or misleading the voters?
