I think it’s a hilarious show. I hate the PC crowd and that goes for both the liberals and conservatives. I don’t think we can have it both ways.

When the show makes fun of gays, we all laugh, when it makes fun of Palin it’s not allowed?

I don’t think so.

People need to relax a little more. I miss the days of making fun of people and being made fun of right back. Ethnic jokes, short jokes, bald jokes, dumb blonde jokes, etc. We used to laugh a lot more as a country.

Yea, I haven’t watched the FG episode that Palin is getting all worked up about, but I heard it was a very obscure reference to her son.

It made fun of her child. Not Palin directly. No, that isn’t allowed. It wasn’t allowed with Chelsea and it’s not allowed with Obama’s daughters and sure as hell shouldn’t be allowed wth her children.

This has NOTHING to do with being PC. This isn’t about the use of “retard” argument. Different argument altogether. This is about hem attacking her child directly.

BTW, Rush apologized when he did a bit about Chelsea. So yeah...conservative’s do have a line we won’t cross and if we do we apologize.

You apparently have not been paying attention.

They were not making fun of Palin, they were making fun of Trig and that is what she took offense at.

When the left has made fun of her alone, there has been no response from her.

Look up-thread at the comment concerning what she said to BOR concerning this, it might change your mind.

I, too, think that Family Guy is hilarious and while I agree that the PC crowd has run amok and that everyone is WAY too sensitive, I also think that a line must be drawn somewhere. Creating “humor” at the expense of a Down’s child is over that line.

We are becoming a nation of feminized victims

No one and I mean no one should ever make fun of these children. Do you know that in the early 50’s a nationally known dr. said these children should be taken to the top of a mountain and left there? I thought we had come a long way but evidently not.

I agree. I watch the show with liberals and we all laugh. And yes, it IS funnier than South Park!
