The whole prop thing is hypocritcal, they all use their families as props, it's always been that way, that's why I don't get the left/right aspect of it and why I agreed with Obama when he said to leave the families alone. You know damn well If someone made a spoof about his kids depicting them with huge afros and throwing in a sterotype like them using ebonics Obama would take issue with it and he would be in the right. Switch it around and say one of his kids had special needs and an idiot like limbaugh or beck mocked the kid, could you imagine the shitsorm? It's not about either party IMO.chickenona wrote:I didn't get the vibe that any of her kids were being picked on, just her. But again - the bit made no sense. Palin's Downy kid is an infant boy, the Family Guy character was a teenage girl. The bit was clearly designed for no purpose other than to elicit precisely the reaction that it did and Palin would have been better off ignoring it. Not that I'd expect her to because at the end of the day this controversy benefits both Palin herself and "Family Guy" because they've garnered themselves an equal amount of attention.

I don't think this is really about political correctness, Again anyone here who has kids would take issue with someone mocking them, special needs or not.NickasInSaltLick wrote:This whole thing is kind of lame, but i find it sort of funny that Palin always seemed to go out of her way during the campaign to talk about how she wasn't interested in being politically correct and is now so bothered about people saying shit that isn't politically correct.
whoever wrote that stuff is a piece of shit plain and simple, Imagine if South park had a episode with the same exact scene on the show, it'd be cancelled the next day, wouldn't even stand a chance.
And who would "credibly" say something shitty about a President's kid? Oh, that's right, McCain (Chelsea) and poor Amy Carter, people were brutal to her...bane wrote:Now wait a minute Vlad. A bunch of redneck morons posting idiotic comments in a blog is not remotely the same thing as having it broadcast on national TV. Come on. From your comment I assumed somebody credible had said something about Obama's kids.
Then explain her outrage at Rahm Emmanuel for calling a bunch of people in his own party a bunch of fucking retards. That was in no way directed toward her or her kid, yet she managed to faux outrage herself into the spotlight over it.dtmfs wrote:I don't think this is really about political correctness, Again anyone here who has kids would take issue with someone mocking them, special needs or not.NickasInSaltLick wrote:This whole thing is kind of lame, but i find it sort of funny that Palin always seemed to go out of her way during the campaign to talk about how she wasn't interested in being politically correct and is now so bothered about people saying shit that isn't politically correct.
And I'll bet anything this actress with DS was mocked and made fun of at some point by some dipshit and I'll bet Her and her family had a different attitude when she was specifically the target.
lets say for the sake of argument that she goes on hannity's show for an interview, and hannity says, "well i'm glad you have such a great sense of humor about being a fucked up looking mongloid, you're the bravest fucking retard i've ever seen" Wonder how well that would go over?
Now that one I didn't understand especially when she didn't go after Limbaugh for his "retard summit" quote, Typical politician there, hypocritical as hell. that issue was about political correctness for sure. All I'm saying is in this whole family guy situation I don't have a problem with her speaking out about it at all. And I think the pundits who are blasting her over taking issue with FG would take issue with them if they were the butt of a similiar joke, it's not like what she said was a big deal, She didn't call for it to be taken off the air or anything. As another poster said She kind of did FG a favor and gave them some attention which is exactly what McFarlane was looking for in the first place.NickasInSaltLick wrote: Then explain her outrage at Rahm Emmanuel for calling a bunch of people in his own party a bunch of fucking retards.

Most polticians use their family as a "prop" and I agreed 100% with Obama when he called out his own supporters and said to leave the families out of it.chickenona wrote:Palin's brought most of that mockery on herself by refusing to stop seeking out media attention, though.
I can't think of another defeated veep candidate in my lifetime who has chased the spotlight post-election like Palin has. And she's gleaned attention, in large part, for doing shit so dumb it would embarrass the fuck out of your average Downy.
The most priceless moment from this whole thing came last week when Joy Behar back tracked like a mother fucker after John C Mcginley went on her show and called Mcfarlane a coward. Behar was all for the FG episode but as soon as one of her guests made some good points she sure as fuck changed her mind.
every once in a while I'll watch the first 15 minutes when something like this is in the news just to see the bitches fight. Mcginley wasn't on the view He was on behars show on HLN later that night and she pretty much flipped flopped about how she felt earlier on. I try to watch the different channels because I think it's interesting how different their opinions are on cetain things, it blows my mind how one side will call the other deplorable for some things then turn right around and defend someone on their own side for doing the same thing, it's fucked up.tin00can wrote:[
1. You watch The View?
2. What the fuck was John C. (so as not to confuse him with all the other John McGinleys) McGinley doing on there?

In other words, don't get so excited about Palin that you relax too much instead of staying on top of your own team and making sure you have a strong gameplan for 2012 regardless of the Elephant pick?absolutely fabulous wrote:not really picking up on your valley talk, so i don't get what you're talking about, man..Skate4RnR wrote:Really?

all i was saying is that i don't want his party to heft him upon a pedestal so that the other party drags him down.
seems to be the m.o. of politics nowadays.
