Opinion: ‘Family Guy’ joke was hateful
February 22nd, 2010Writing on CNN.com, San Diego Union editorial board member Ruben Navarrette Jr. says the ‘Family Guy’ dig at Sarah Palin was just about as funny as “showing President Clinton, one of their icons, having a heart attack.” It’s not funny, he said, because Trig Palin “already has a hard life in store — filled with intolerance, prejudice and limitations imposed by others.”
An excerpt:
Wanna take Palin down a peg? Fine. But don’t use her child to do it — especially this child.

What’s offensive is comparing having a child with Down Syndrome with having a heart attack. In my experience people’s hearts got stronger as they parented their kids with DS.
