This video has gone viral though because of the heartless d***heads who tell an old man with Parkinson's that "there's nothing for free over here, you have to work for everything you get," and then mock him by throwing money at him, presumably to pay for his lifetime medical bills, as he sits silently, passively on the pavement. I guess trashing Michael J. Fox wasn't low-down enough for their side.
UPDATE 03.24.10: The guy who threw the dollar bills and heckled the old man has been identified as Chris Reichert, a registered Republican in the Columbus, OH area. Now Reichert is scared, apologetic, and planning never to go to another political rally again. Too bad. I really wanted this heckler to be an unapologetic, mean-spirited Republican who'd reply, "Yeah, I heckled that cripple, so what? Now get off my lawn before I shoot you in the face!" Chalk up another victim of the Cult of PC, who couldn't withstand his overwhelming desire not to be viewed as a complete a**hole by the entire world for saying what he actually believed.
What a sad day for free speech.
