How do you know about it if it wasn't covered?

What a disgusting hateful song I don't care who it references. Down Syndrome Girl song should make all the organizations that help disabled people boiling mad.

You can say whatever you want to say, doesn't mean it's not insensitive. There's no speech police yet. Just be prepared to be called rude and chastised for it.

I don't care if it was "last season" or 20 years ago.
I also don't live on here so I didn't know it had been "discussed".
All I know is that to defend something like THIS when the most popular word around here is "RACIST" shows me that there is something terribly wrong with this country.
A person yelling "kill the cracker babies" and making fun of a Downs Syndrome child is just fine but God help us all if a person says something that ONE person may PERCEIVE as being racist.
That bulls#it about her exposing her child leaves that baby open to the slurs of sick people?
What should she do? Should she lock him up in the attic???
Well, you can talk about her all that you want but at least she didn't kill him.
Attack an innocent baby and make fun of him just to hurt his mother,
BIG TIME SICK but whatever you do, don't say the "N WORD"!! If it wasn't so sad it would be laughable.
Lets create a song about it and see if it receives an award.
Oh no, we can't because it might hurt someone and the only person we are allowed to hurt is Sarah Palin.
Yeah, lets stick daggers in her heart because after all, she is not a human being.
Sicko people in this world.

The Emmy nomination just came out which is why it's in the news again.

It is sick.

Let's see, we can't say the word retarded, but it's PC enough for family guy to have a show about a Downs Syndrome child? The entire hollyweird scene has gone off the cliff.
