“What kind of person attacks a mentally disabled infant?”

A leftist. Not for nothing is the source of leftism called “the evil one” and “the father of lies.”

>> What kind of person attacks a mentally disabled infant?

To me, it was an attack on Sarah.

If the character never made reference to the “former governor of Alaska”, would the segment be getting the publicity it’s getting now?

Is it inappropriate to feature characters with Down syndrome in cartoons? I would hope not.

It’s ultimately insensitive to the relationship between the mother and child with emphases on ridiculing the mom. I can image why this hurts Sarah so much - it’s an attack on her motherhood.

It’s good Palin is voicing her opinion about this. Prayers for her peace of mind, and for her family too!

I’ve no problem with them mocking anyone - my problem is what they are mocking. Pointing up people’s hypocricy or stupidity or even habits is fair game, because people are responsible for those things. Mocking people because they are disabled, or short, or have red hair, or whatever, is really odious.

Those are excellent points. To be more accurate he used a Downs infant as a tool to attack the infant’s mother.

I should add that the attack came for no stated or implied reason.

I watched that episode and it wasn’t just the girl with Downs Syndrome being the daughter of “the former Governor of Alaska”, but that the character was beyond a jerk!

I don't watch anything on FOX except the news.

I don't know if I would rather see the creator of this show (who says that we just mock people) or Jesse Ventura water boarded!

“What kind of person attacks a mentally disabled infant?”

Keep in mind that these folks think less than “perfect” infants should be euthanized before or after birth.

It's their job to make fun of everyone. Get over it,” said Tweeter @Little_Siren”

I mustta missed the part where they made fun of 0bozo’s children's ghetto like outfits, or made fun of Islamic crazies and the prophet Mohammed.
Oh wait, the Islamic crazies usually send some fanatic to come kill ya if you “insult” the prophet Mohammed. Mush safer for the Hollywood vermin to attack defenseless Down Syndrome children of Christian women. What a bunch of pathetic cowards.

Galatians 6:7-8

“Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows. The one who sows to please his sinful nature, from that nature will reap destruction; the one who sows to please the Spirit, from the Spirit will reap eternal life.”

I agree. Compared to what she's going to face if she runs for president, this is minor. I know it's unfair and what they did was awful, but saying it was "another kick in the gut" gives it way more significance than it deserves.
