This is one liberal (or so I'm called), and I've heard people talk about this Family Guy show like it was great. The show didn't sound like anything I'd enjoy, so I've never seen it. In fact, the show sounds disgusting.
I think Sarah Palin is a shark, a fake, a quitter, and BS'er deluxe. I don't like her. But I don't find anything funny about making fun of her son, nor do I understand why anyone would defend that.
^^^I agree with the above, but the song in question isn't about Trigg Palin. It's about a female character on a TV show. The OP threw in Sarah Palin's baby b/c the character referenced has Down's, and by extension, this is a song about Trigg Palin, who also has Down's.
….’Family Guy’ gets a nod for controversial ‘Down’s Syndrome Girl.’Remember the February episode of ‘Family Guy’ whose throwaway joke by a character with Downs Syndrome (she said her mother was the former governor of Alaska) threw Sarah Palin and her minions into a week-long fit of rage? The Academy does, and it recognized that episode for its even more potentially offensive highlight, Stewie’s dubious tribute to the character, his song-and-dance number ‘Down’s Syndrome Girl.’ Better not tell Team Palin that the tune, composed by ‘Family Guy’ creator Seth MacFarlane and Walter Murphy, earned a nomination for Outstanding Original Music and Lyrics.

I guess former Governor Palin does not have a sense of humor. I thought the line “I am the daughter of the former governor of Alaska” was very funny. I think the word is “sarcasm.”

I have seen it all now.
There is a song out about a downs syndrome baby or person, I don't know but heard it is up for an award.
I am sitting here sickened and in shock.
There are evil people in this world, didn't really believe it before but now I do.

Family Guy is always edgy and always making fun of people - and they make fun of pretty much everyone. They're equal opportunity shock humorists.
