Judie Brown: "Cruelty as humor -- the Trig Palin joke!"

There appears to be no level as to which the media will not stoop in its efforts to paint Sarah Palin and her family as a mere caricature based on their twisted preconceptions. They cannot stand the idea that the Palins are a family affirming and loving a special needs child. The latest flap concerns the despicable cartoon production Family Guy http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2010/02/15/family-guy-trig-palin-vid_n_462522.html and its producer's crass comment http://watching-tv.ew.com/2010/02/19/seth-macfarlane-bill-maher-hbo to television host Bill Maher that the incident presented in the Family Guy episode was a mere joke and apparently, he alleges, Palin "has no sense of humor."

Well, if this so-called joke isn't the height of arrogance blended with disdain, the likes of which even I am appalled at, then something in the garbage can of television doesn't stink!
