Palin 'Family Guy' joke is hateful

Special to CNN
Sarah Palin has awesome power. We already knew that she had the power to drive liberal Democrats crazy. They don't respect her, but they sure do fear her.
And this week we learned that Palin also has the power to make those same liberal Democrats forget all the preaching they've shared with the rest of us over the years about the importance of tolerance and defending those with special needs.
Like, say, a little boy with Down syndrome who will be two years old in April but who has already been the butt of a national joke by the brainless and heartless creator and producers of the Fox animated comedy, "Family Guy."

Trig has a lot to overcome, as it is. Having to deal with his attention hungry mother is going to be too much. The young lady who did the voice of the charectar has Down's Syndrome herself.
The hypocritical reaction of the Left is no surprise. They have long preached one thing and practiced the opposite.
Does Seth MacFarland also make fun, ridicules his Gay cousin or Gays as he did those with Down Syndrome? I read he got angry when his relative asked if there was a cure for his gay cousin's homosexuality. Watched it once, I didn't like it.
