Many articles have been written on the Michael J. Fox/Rush Limbaugh controversy.  This is a response and a new, non-biased view on the following AC articles: Tiffany Ranae's Take, Lucinda's Opinion, and Bhumika's Editorial.

As the time quickly ticks away on many key Senatorial and Congressional races, both Democrats and Republicans have clearly turne up the volume on their campaign advertisements. In fact, some political analysts on both side of the fence agree that these mid-term elections have seen the most controversial ads ever run in U.S. history.
