Silence

So remember when Family Guy a few months back made a passing reference to drama queen Sarah Palin on a show and how the right threw a fit saying how they were attacking her children when they weren't? So I'm wondering if you aren't allowed to attack polititions kids how come drug addict Limbaugh and psycho Beck are doing it consistantly? And how come no one who was attacking Family Guy is attacking these heartless individuals?

Or it's ok to attack cause he's a Democrat like they did to Clinton's Daughter.

I agree. Limbaugh's parody was utterly tasteless. What did Beck do?

Beck's comments: http://mediamatters.org/mmtv/201005280024

Beck apparently offended Roger Ayles by doing this, and backtracked because he was told to:

Granted...tasteless.

I wish you guys would acknowledge how tasteless the Family Guy episode was as well.

this is the standard Republicans started with going after Clinton's daughter. You just don't like it cause its Palin.

You dismiss it when it's Palin.

One last thing about this. While I won't defend their actions in this matter, keep in mind that Limbaugh and Beck represent themselves as conservative commentators. They are paid to give their political comments. That is why people listen to/watch them. Family Guy does not represent itself as a political show. People don't tune into it because they want political commentary. Making fun of children with Down's Syndrome, whether or not they are a child of a politician is crossing a line.
