"Family Guy" & Palin

Sarah Palin is angry again. This time, the former vice presidential candidate is voicing her displeasure at Family Guy, an animated comedy series on the FOX network. The episode that aired on Sunday night featured a character on a date with a girl with Down Syndrome. When asked about her family, the girl said her mother is “the former Governor of Alaska.” Palin's son Trig has Down Syndrome. Palin stated the show was a “kick in the gut.” Palin's daughter Bristol stated on her Facebook page, “If the writers of a particularly pathetic cartoon show thought they were being clever in mocking my brother and my family, they failed.”

Today our panel discusses if the writers and producers of Family Guy went too far in their attempt at satire. After reading the opinions of Jeff, Nikki, Roseanne, and Art, join the conversation by leaving a comment.
