Actress with Down Syndrome from Family Guy ep tells Palin to suck it

I'm officially to the point where I do not care about anything Palin related.

It's not even fun to laugh at her anymore.

New political punching bag, please.

 

This is the first I'm hearing of this and I'm already tired of it. I guess I'll award the points to Palin, cuz most DS kids don't grow up to be actresses?

 

It's really pathetic and childish the way everyone dogpiles on Palin. Regardless of whether or not you like someone to just continuously attack them over petty crap is just stupid. I don't agree with her on ALOT of things, but she is still a person and should be treated as such.

 

It's not really childish to take her to task as a public figure, however, it is really pathetic that she is still considered a public figure. She doesn't deserve the attention she gets, be it positive, or in this case, negative.

 

Are you suggesting we attack wildebeests?

 

Perhaps if she didn't attack everyone and everything she does, she'd stop getting attacked back by those people. This person was the target of one Palin's endless attacks - so she attacked back.

 

that made me chuckle

 

maybe i misunderstood, and if i did please correct me. but I think Family Guy made fun of Palins son, and when Palin responded this woman who was an actor on the episode attacked Palin. Like I said correct me if I'm wrong but I didn't see where Palin ever said anything about this lady.

 

you have to admit though that some of the negativity that gets thrown at her is ridiculous. For example the whole writing on the hand thing... while i will admit it's kinda amateur the way I understand it she was speaking without a teleprompter. Don't think Obama would get up and give a state of the union speech with out one. I do a considerable ammount of public speaking, and I NEVER go into it without notes that outline what I am talking about. either way what difference does it make? did she attack someone onetime about writing on hands? I'm confused.

 

Damn man, I would **** up some wildebeests if they got in my face.

 

I didn't see it, but my understanding is that the episode was making fun of Palin - which should be expected by politicians. People make fun of Bush, Obama, Pelosi, etc - they don't all respond to all these things with attacks. If the episode was actually making fun of the kid, then of course she has a right to be angry. But most of her attacks on this subject are her saying people were mocking her kid while they were actually people mocking her. She has learned to play the victim (of everyone from the left to the main-stream media to John McCain's campaign staffers) very well.

 

Two things here:

1. In that very speech before her interview, she was attacking Obama's use of a teleprompter. It's virtually always her starting these things.

2. She didn't look at her hand during the speech - she did it while answering a question in an interview. Most (or all, except for her) politicians are capable of answering basic questions without crib notes. She wasn't using the hand for the speech. Notes for a speech are completely understandable (though these weren't even notes).

 

ahh. wasn't aware of that, I don't pay much attention to her. as far as the family guy thing goes you know that it's very 1 sided which politicians get made fun of, especially on family guy. come on man they compaired McCain and Palin to Nazis in an episode, that's going to far.. oh and I watch Family Guy alot and usually like it.

 

I don't get it. I thought Family Guy was an animated cartoon show starring Peter Griffin, and Brian the dog.

Why would they need a r****ded chap to play a r****ded character on the show? Why can't they just use Andy Dick?

 

Relax sweetie, it's only satire.

 

No greater sin.

 

indeed.

Yeah, comparing McCain and Palin to Nazis on a comedy program is going way too far, but calling your political opponent a terrorist at a rally is fine.
