It's negative stereotypes like this that prevent people with Down Syndrome from achieving success. Except from within the Republican party at least. Discrimination is so ugly.

Oh, that's easy. You go down by the museum and stuff... It's like- it's, like, by the museum... Sorta by... Actually, not really. More like on the street, you go, um... Wait, let me start over. Okay, you know where the time machine is?

Why is Facebook her outlet for her outrage??

Because in any other media, people would ask her "questions" about her opinions.

Really, if retard is so bad, why didn't she criticize Rush or Beck?

Put it this way, Rush, Beck, Rahm, and Palin aren't using the N-word, are they?

the actress who uttered the line that pissed off Palin, apparently actually HAS down syndrome... here's her response to Palin's outrage:

I guess former Governor Palin does not have a sense of humor. I thought the line "I am the daughter of the former governor of Alaska" was very funny. I think the word is "sarcasm".

In my family we think laughing is good. My parents raised me to have a sense of humor and to live a normal life. My mother did not carry me around under her arm like a loaf of French bread the way former Governor Palin carries her son Trig around looking for sympathy and votes.

Ouch...

I work with people people with Down Syndrome and their families, and I can honestly say that I feel Palin uses her son as a convenient stage prop more than a person. I think a quote I read somewhere is that "she carries him onstage like a loaf of french bread". That my friends is the saddest truth of all.

It would've been a lot sadder (and funnier) if she used "sack of potatoes" instead of loaf of french bread.

It keeps getting better all the time.

MacFarlane fired his own salvo in the media war. Appearing on Friday's episode of HBO's "Real Time With Bill Maher," he said Palin's complaints were an effort to obtain "phony pity." The show's host agreed.

"She [Palin] is he queen of fake outrage ... whether it's you or David Letterman, it's always got to be somebody," Bill Maher said.

Even the actress who provided the voice for Ellen on the "Family Guy" has taken aim at Palin.

Andrea Fay Friedman, 39, has Down syndrome. In addition to the "Family Guy" voice over, she has also worked on TV shows such as "Life Goes On" and "Law & Order" and gives motivational speeches around the world about Down syndrome.

Friedman said her "Family Guy" character should be inspirational to others with the disability. And she said the episode wasn't written to poke fun at Palin's son. It was designed to poke fun at the former governor.

"Sarah Palin didn't even get the joke," Friedman told ABC News.

"It would be nice if she did have a sense of humor. Come on Sarah, laugh a little," she added.
