Clinton was an easy target on the show because he was made out to be a party animal, a real hit with the ladies.

I can't fatham why this show has been on so long. Sad when garbage like this is so popular.

Picking on the disabled is not in style on the left anymore than the right. There are jerks on both sides.

I'm ashamed of anyone who thinks that this was funny.

Too bad Fox Corp is separate from Fox News.. I had a smart ass remark.

Thanks. It really angers me when people act like "their side" is any better than the other when it comes to this stuff. Political affiliation has nothing to do with whether or not you're a jerk.

I never cared for Family Guy myself.

"With some" on the left. I'm not referring to you. I'm referring to Obama, his Chief of Staff, and now this lefty Seth McFarlane. I can't think of anyone on the right ragging on the disabled.

If I'm not mistaken, I think he's already taken a hit at Michael J. Fox too. If not, stand by, I'm sure he'll be next.

I've actually liked the show over the years, but there are times like this (and the Karen Carpenter one, plus one or two others that slip my mind at the moment) when he really goes over the line.

I can maybe see taking shots at various people, but when you bring illness and/or disability into it I just can't understand it at all. I'm surprised Stephen Hawking hasn't sued the guy for his portrayal (several times).

I'm not acting like my side is better. It is the left that's taking cracks on the disabled lately. Obama on Leno, then his Chief of Staff, Rahm Emanuel and this lefty Seth McFarlane. Don't get mad when someone points out the truth.

EmoJoe · 02-17-2010, 05:24 PM

i like Family Guy but there are times when i think they cross the line with some of the jokes they make...and this would definitely be one of those times. they're much funnier when they stick to being more satirical instead of just ripping on people like that. there's really not a need for jokes like that, it's a funny show without dumb things like this.

The left? The left of what? That's one thing I never have understood about politics...

It's the right who likes it... The right of what?
It's the left who likes it... The left of what?

Where did these meanings come from?

If you don't know what the left and right mean in politics, what are you doing on a Politic's board?

MickeyMac · 02-17-2010, 07:22 PM

Political science 101 Mac style is here

Ding Ding schools in

Left wing-tends to be on the liberal side of issues, usually democrats. Think of people like the Clintons, Jimmy Carter, The Kennedys, Michael Moore, Bill Maher,and Barak Obama

Right wing-tends to be more conservative on issues: George Bush, Ronald Reagan, Sarah Palin, Johnny Ramone, Rush Limbaugh, Ann Coulter, Chuck Norris, Richard Nixon

There is also the far left and they are usually communists, marxist, socialists and the like

There is also the far right which is made up of nazi's, Ku Klux Klan and various hate groups.

Hope that explains it.

This is also worth doing your own reading and research.

At this point, I think many are just hoping that things will change.

I didn't think you were referring to me. I simply don't think you have a right to say any one particular political group is "okay" with this sort of thing.
