Sarah Palin claims that she's a victim of the media - again. (laws, against)

Did you watch the episode?

Chris took a girl he liked who had Down Syndrome out on a date. She was a bit bossy, but held a conversation like a normal person. He asks what her parents do and she says her mother is the former Governor of Alaska. He goes home with her, she makes him get her ice cream, then says he didn't do it right. He then says she is too bossy and leaves.

Care to tell me how that was a vicious attack against her child?

I guess that is why they think handicap people are so hilarious. Roll eyes.

Can't wait until they get old or sick so I can laugh at them. Oh wait, I am not that kind of person and our crass society can't make me become one if I don't want to go there.

Was it even an attack at all? Not really.

I suggest you all watch the actual episode before commenting.

Why didn't they make it about Bristol? They thought it would be funnier to have a Down Syndrome kid.

Who are "they," and what connection can't they see?

Family Guy is the quintessential pro-American show as it pushes free speech to its very limit.

"They are kooks, so I agree with Rush Limbaugh," she said, when read a quote of Limbaugh calling liberal groups "retards." "Rush Limbaugh was using satire ... . I didn't hear Rush Limbaugh calling a group of people whom he did not agree with 'f-ing retards,' and we did know that Rahm Emanuel, as has been reported, did say that. There is a big difference there."

I'm old, but not sick. Laugh at me. I have a great sense of humor.

I already explained why they did it.

Again, it was a set-up to entrap Palin in a hypocritical position, and it worked perfectly.

They didn't make fun of her Down Syndrome whatsoever.

The children of all politicians should be off limits. Politicians should not use their children as campaign props.
