Ar you saying family guy shouldn’t have any child characters? Or that they shouldn’t have any child characters with disabilities?

BTW, I realize that shows like South Park and Family Guy can be very offensive to people with disabilities, and people who have religious beliefs, as well as many other people. They exist partly to offend groups of people.

I just don’t see how this particular clip of a girl with Down’s is an attack on Trig, and it seems the only people who brought Trig into the Family Guy discussion are Palin and the others complaining about it.

Like I said elsewhere, what if they had had a girl without Down’s, but who was pregnant? Would that have been an attack on Bristol? What if the girl was older, and had just gotten back from Iraq. Would that be an attack on Track?

They made a stupid joke about the mother being the ‘ex-governor of alaska’. They clearly did it to get Palin to react, and I think Family Guy is quite happy with the response, and I think we’ve done nothing but build up their ratings, and validated the left’s penchant for punishing people with political correctness attacks.

Rush knew this, and I think he responded in an interesting way, supposedly supporting Palin, but yet ignoring her requests not to use the word, and in fact defending the use of the word “retarded” to label stupid liberals.

My other posts on this were pretty clear. They shouldn't have characters of politician's children. The Chelsea Clinton standard should be afforded to all politician's children. Obviously though if the kid does something illegal that would make news on its own could be covered. For example, the kids that murdered everyone at Columbine...fair game. But if a kid gets bad grade on a report card...not fair.
