Well that's very telling, isn't it? That was your first thought...that MJF was exaggerating?
Hopefully no one in your family will ever have to suffer from Parkinsons.
you see? this is exactly the ghist of my thoughts regarding perception & expectation.
Governments, Parties, DEBATE issues.
When you debate, you want to put forth your point of view in the best, strongest, convincing fashion. That is natural. It's a given.
MJF's video clip was part of that DEBATE process.
People contesting his video as exaggerated TOO was part of the DEBATE process..
And finally, the "uproar" over making fun of poor old MJF's parkinson's symptoms - that TOO,, is part of the DEBATE..
It goes on, expect it.. have fun with it - it is our Democratic process in action.
