(3,930 posts)Shit he croaks out. He's a smarmy piece of shit that does nothing but spread nonsense and crap.

This is the second thread/post I've come across this morning ridiculing him for a disability. (Not you - you are just asking a question.)
I'm disappointed to see it on DU.

(15,963 posts)And his insane ideas only make his voice less bearable.
Would you make a similar comment about the visual appearance of someone living with cerebral palsy being hard to watch?
He is a vile human being, but leave his disability out of it.

RFK Jr.'s not a doctor, but he did stay stay at the Holiday Inn Express.

(1,289 posts)Back then, he was a truth teller with a raspy voice. Now, he's an extreme narcissist with an agenda.
La Coliniere
(1,558 posts)I also was a frequent listener of Ring of Fire back in the day, but even then he was expressing skepticism of childhood vaccines and believed the vaccines caused childhood autism. However, his ideas about environmental issues seemed worthwhile and based on science. Even back then I was not convinced by his vaccine nonsense. The man is dangerous and needs to resign.

(1,543 posts)long past due and you know when Repukes are joining in that it's really bad. So he's bad enough but my wife wondered aloud recently how Cheryl Hines can stay with this reptile. What a pair they are.

I am much more outraged at his classic Dunning Kruger approach to health and vaccination policy that is demonstrably killing people.
LeftInTX
(33,776 posts)Heroin addict, carrion eater, worm brain., looks like he crawled out of a manhole....
purr-rat beauty
(780 posts)But it doesn't change the fact that he's a horrific fit for his role. I don't like to listen to him not because of his voice, but rather his warped thinking, conspiracies, and lies.
Orrex
(66,000 posts)But when I am forced to hear him, I reflect upon how unpleasant it is.
carpetbagger
(5,357 posts)And it's not the voice. It's the worm speaking. Sherrod Brown said things that made the voice not irritating.

(276 posts)In any case, he deserves all the mockery he gets.
Ms. Toad
(37,658 posts)RFK Jr. Has spasmodic dysphonia. He can't help how he sounds. So criticizing him for how he sounds is like criticizing someone with cerebral palsy because seeing how they move is unbearable for you.
Orrex
(66,000 posts)I thought it was just a byproduct of a lifetime of shitty behavior and Ill-advised health choices.
But if its legit beyond his control, then youre right; not ok to mock.
Ms. Toad
(37,658 posts)She was able to use Botox to be able to continue her radio career - but even right after a treatment she still seemed to struggle when she was speaking.

(499 posts)I am not watching per se, just have it on as I go about my business in the house. Somehow I am almost getting used to it. And thats scary.
Orrex
(66,000 posts)Hes actually less pleasant to hear than Rapist47.
I dont know how the worm put up with him for so long.
