Family Guy Depicts McCain Palin as Nazis
The cartoon Family Guy did a show on Sunday night that likened the McCain – Palin ticket to the Nazi party of World War II. Read about it below and see photos and a video clip of the show.
Family Guy: McCain Palin as Nazis
It looks like the cartoon Family Guy is not exactly unbiased in its presentation of the candidates for President. The fact that the writer of the cartoon felt compelled to make a political statement through their cartoon is enough, but add to that the extremes he went to, that’s something else altogether. The depicted Stewie wearing a Nazi jacket. Underneath the jacket lapel was a McCain-Palin campaign button.
In the episode, two of the characters, Stewie (a talking baby) and Brian (a talking dog) are transported to Poland during the Nazi invasion of World War II. In one scene, the characters beat up and steal the uniforms of two Nazi officers. Stewie looks down at his Nazi uniform and notices a McCain/Palin campaign button attached to its lapel, remarking “Huh, that’s weird.”
The show’s creator, Seth MacFarlane, is an ardent supporter of Barack Obama. MacFarlane has given thousands to the Democratic presidential nominee and the Democratic Party, and even spoke at an Obama rally in Ohio earlier this month.
Its interesting that the left is intent on portraying the right as restricting people’s rights, when in fact, its the left that has gotten so extreme that they are doing whatever possible to shut down any opposition. Joe the Plumber comes to mind.
What do you think? Do you think this goes too far or is it just an expression of free speech? What if it had portrayed the Obama-Biden campaign as Nazi-like? Would that have been okay as well?
I’ve included some images and a video of the show below the jump.

It would be interesting if they portrayed Obama as a guy who surrounds himself with slumlords, racists, socialists, communists, and unrepentant domestic terrorists. But I guess they’re not making a documentary.

Yea, i usually think he is pretty funny but this might have been a bit over the top. But really the liberal illuminati will slip in their little jabs wherever they can get em. This is just another jab.
And if they did portray Obama as anything off color (no pun intended) there would a media uprising for sure.

Lighten up. It’s just a cartoon. Family Guy is an equal opportunity offender.
