Looks like a setup to me. That's why they hired her, no other reason.

Damn right. I have one, and hell hath no fury. The absolute last kind of person anyone should be making fun of are little kids with special needs, they're the most innocent on Earth. So if you **** with my kid, you **** with me.
That said, Palin's an idiot and also a huge hypocrite for excusing Limbaugh for doing the same thing. And I think it's awesome that someone who actually has DS is involved in this, and on the side of humor. Palin got nailed on this one.
Video game designer? You's got bigger "stones" than me :mrgreen: Good luck!
Thanks, yeah I am a hardcore gamer, so I decided it would be an exusce to play games at work. :2razz:.
delivery, delivery, delivery, I was not responding to an attack, I was responding to a post that came across as being deliberately hateful.
One week she dismisses Rush using the term retard because it is satire, the next she is up in arms because of satire, she has already shown inconsistency and selective outrage on the topic, I do not buy it one bit.
As the lady who actually delivered the line in the Family Guy episode states
If the kid were gay & ridiculed, I think the reaction would have been quite different.....
You wont see me defending Palin. I agree...she should have demonstrated integrity and help Limbaugh to task as well if she was going to go after Rahmbo..
The thing is...this was a bit of a different deal. If someone uses the word retard, well...I just think it says a lot about them. I think it was foolish of her to go after Rahm Emmanuel for the use of the word...thats just political grandstanding.
In this latest incident it wasnt just the use of the word...it brought her kids into the mix.
Again...once upon a time...kids were off limits. Those days are gone.

‘Family Guy’ Voice Actor Says Palin ‘Does Not Have a Sense of Humor’ - ArtsBeat Blog - NYTimes.com
When you've been smacked down by the chick with down syndrome, you know you've been pwned.
Why do you liberals make so many threads about Palin?
Really, I am tired of Palin. I am tired of her "poor victimized me and my family", tired of her constant whining and bitching, tired of everything she does. Some one get back to me when she does something of note, and does not simply bitch because soandso is not PC enough(despite her being against PC), or some one made fun of her and she don't like it. Then I might care. Right now, I am burnt out on her bigtime. I really wish she would get out of the spotlight for awhile, but I doubt she will before Nov 2012.
Oops! Meant to say indignation. It's been a long week.
I have family member born this way. If you're going to get upset every time someone says something untoward, then you're going to spend a lot of your life upset all the time.
Since I'm a member of the community of people with family members with special needs (granted not a parent), I think I do have a chance to criticize people who overreact. I think a lot of people overreacted to Robert Downey Jr.'s speech in TROPIC THUNDER; and I actually wrote one of the organizations my family belongs to them to tell them so.
Overreacting doesn't do anything to change things. This is the third poor reaction over this issue from her in a very short amount of time. First, she overreacted about Emmanuel. Then she said that it was okay for Rush to call people with special needs "retards". Now this.
You're not playing the victim, but she sure the hell is. She even justified Rush's use of the word because "it was satire". THEN, she criticizes a show that IS satire.
Those kooky Family Guy producers and their wild conspiracy antics. :roll:

Mo' Bama, the new Obesity Czar just whored out her little chunksters too...which was ironic consider Mo's ass couldnt fit in a Prius without a sidecar...
Lets ridicule fat people and the Obama piglets for their daliance with Obesity
Do any of those episodes ridicule Mo'Bama and the fat little Obama kids?
Not to mention the whole episode where Peter got injected with the "gay gene".... I'll take a page out of the FOX News defender play book and say that you obviously have never watched Family Guy. All the characters on that show have been ridiculed in one way or another for situations in which they've engaged in homosexual relationships.
YouTube- 10 hints that Stewie Griffin is Gay
And where did I show anger?
#1 I'm not upset
#2 You didn't answer the question: Exactly how is it playing victim to point out it is offensive to those who have kids born this way?
#3 This wasn't about being upset. You attacked her claiming she was playing the victim. Try to stay on subject. You don't get to flip your argument just because you can't defend it.
I don't care if your entire family is made up of people with this disability. It doesn't give you the right to attack someone who does find offense when they also have family members with this disability especially when they are the subject line.
and exactly how has she "overreacted? Is she having town halls demanding family guy be thrown off the air? Is she leading protests outside their headquarters? You throw around that word just because she said it was hurtful? Thats all it takes or are you so blinded with partisanship and hatred for this woman you can't see past it?
They attacked her son with a disability because they don't like her politics. Its unbelievable that you and other liberals would excuse it just because you don't like her politics either.
But then again I'm asking you to fall back on some sort of basic morality which many liberals don't believe in anyway so its probably a waste of time to try to get you to understand.
It's lose, dude.
Because tolerance and understanding for many liberals is only reserved for those that think exactly like they do.
Attacking someone's child because you don't like their politics is perfectly acceptable as long as its the other side of the coin.
I truly believe Bill Clinton should be tried and hung for treason for allowing China to leap ahead 50 years overnight in missile technology for campaign funding that the DNC itself had to give back after they were convicted for taking it. His morality was some of the worst a sitting president has ever displayed and he drug this country through the gutter because he wasn't man enough to admit his affairs. His international policies made us far less safe up to the point 9.11 was conceived under his reign and people flown in country before Bush ever took office.
As much as I hate the man, if he had a child with a disability and a show made fun of that child, it would be wrong, period. I dont care if they hired 50 children with the same disability to approve the line or deliver it. There is no moral justification for attacking the child of a politician because you don't like the parent. And there is certainly no right to judge the parent's reaction when their child is attacked for political reasons.
