Washington, DC (LifeNews.com) -- Sarah Palin and her daughter Bristol are responding to comments on the Fox show "Family Guy" belittling her family and her disabled son Trig. Although Palin is a contributor for Fox News Channel that hasn't stopped her from criticizing the show on sister company Fox Broadcasting.

Palin, via her Facebook page, complained that the "Family Guy program delivered “another kick in the gut” with a joke targeting her family.

In Sunday’s episode, “Family Guy” shows a girl with Down syndrome saying, “My dad is an accountant and my mom is the former governor of Alaska.”

Palin’s son Trig has Down syndrome and she expressed her frustrations on Facebook, saying “Fox Hollywood — what a disappointment.”

Last night, she posted another response that featured her daughter giving her thoughts on the controversy.

"People are asking me to comment on yesterday’s Fox show that felt like another kick in the gut," Palin wrote. "Bristol was one who asked what I thought of the show that mocked her baby brother, Trig (and/or others with special needs), in an episode."

"Instead of answering, I asked her what she thought. Here is her conscientious reply, which is a much more restrained and gracious statement than I want to make," she said.

Federal Judge Makes Insulting Remark About Sarah Palin and Trigg

Hat Tip The Sarah Palin Blog

BY Janet Crain
A Federal Judge made these remarks in connection with a hearing to determine if a special ruling could be made for a Autistic child with Asperberger's Syndrome, a high functioning form of Autism. There was no reason at all for her to make the insulting remark. Apparently it just popped into her head and she spewed it out.

A federal judge got political Wednesday, taking a swipe at Sarah Palin while powwowing with lawyers in the case of an autistic boy whose parents are fighting a ban on big dogs at their luxury upper East Side building.

Manhattan Federal Judge Naomi Reice Buchwald blasted the Alaska governor and former vice presidential candidate for bringing her Down syndrome child on stage after a debate.

"That kid was used as a prop," Buchwald told lawyers during a hearing on Wednesday. "And that to me as a parent blew my mind."

Buchwald, a 62-year-old Democrat appointed by former President Bill Clinton, said Palin should have put her child to bed. Such conferences are often held behind closed doors, but Buchwald held yesterday's session in open court. "Tell me who told the reporter," Buchwald demanded after realizing her words were on the record.

The comments came during a settlement conference in a lawsuit filed by the feds on behalf of 11-year-old Aaron Schein. Aaron's parents say the dog is medically necessary to help the boy cope with Asperger's syndrome.

"I kind of don't understand why this hasn't been worked out," Buchwald said. "You guys have been at this for two years? ... This is a child with a serious medical problem."

The owners of The Townsend House want to put a 25-pound limit on any dog that Aaron's parents - hedge fund manager Aaron Schein and Bronx Assistant District Attorney Maria Mostajo - pick out for him.

And Aaron wants a hypoallergenic Labradoodle - a popular Labrador and poodle mix that can top out at around 40 pounds.
