A New Low… Liberal Media Now Running Terri Shiavo "Pull the Plug" Musical Comedy for Children (Video)

Well, here’s a new low from the godless left… “Family Guy” marked the 5 year anniversary of Terri Shiavo’s court-ordered death by staging a children’s musical comedy about pulling the plug.
Maybe they’re preparing us for Obamacare?
Since when did mocking a family over the court-ordered death of their daughter become good humor?
NewsBusters reported:
Seth MacFarlane marked the five-year-anniversary of Terri Schiavo’s court-ordered death by staging a preschool musical about it in his crass FOX cartoon, “Family Guy.”
MacFarlane denied Schiavo human dignity in the March 21 episode by referring to her in lyrics sung by cartoon preschoolers as “the most expensive plant you’ll ever see” and a “vegetable,” and noted “her mashed potato brains.”
The child who played the role of Schiavo’s husband, Michael, ultimately concluded, “There’s only one solution, it’s in the Constitution, we’ve got to pull the plug.”
Schiavo died on March 31, 2005, after her parents fought numerous legal battles, appealing to the United States Congress and Supreme Court, to keep her alive, against the wishes of her husband.
A chorus representing pro-life protesters sang in the show, “Terri Schaivo is kind of alive-oh. What a lively little bugger … Terri Schiavo is kind of alive-oh, the most expensive plant you’ll ever see.” A “doctor” sang, “Maybe we should just unplug her.”

MacFarlane is running out of things he can use to shock people, so he’s desperately seeking out the most offensive subjects he can. His hope is that conservatives will get up in arms over this and talk about it in their media, driving people to watch his show.
It’s no different than the toddler who rubs crap all over his face and yells “look at me!!!” Except the toddler doesn’t get paid millions.
Brad commented:
What a vile show. Don’t watch it. Boycott it’s advertisers.
Mrgoodwench commented:
Has there been any musical about the fat drunk killer Ted Kennedy? or his waitress-sammich ?
How about Baanee Faanks’s gay brothel and pot-growing enterprise ?
Sure a dead private citizen’s death and suffering is so worthy of vitriolic filth……nice going fox
Afterall if an innocent baby makes you so indignant just by being born, a dead woman whose parents wanted her to live , will surely make your vile simmer !!

The Schiavo case is complicated. The question is, what would she have wanted?
Just a few weeks ago I was talking with my mother about similar cases and I told her that, should end up like this in some European hospital… let me die.
And that’s the problem with the Schiavo case. It can’t be judged or solved following any rule book. It’s an individual decision. Personally I don’t think she would have wanted to exist like that, but… we don’t know what she wanted, do we?
Sometimes we humans are more merdiful to animals.
As for the musical.
Well, when can we expect “Holocaust! The musical!”? Or maybe “The Intifada Musical”
These people are just f*cking nuts.

i like family guy. funny edgy but it also lets reminds me that the right is waaaay more compasionate than the left. i often use it as an example when my lefty friends scream about their compassion. On a related note, some old guy came up to my care at the convenience store two days ago and said, “you know god is not a republican”
I responded “so i guess that makes him…..”
He goes on to say a Democrat. So i respond, so he approved of them creating the KKK and denying civil rights…. walked away he did. so i pull out and that ass had a “god is not a republican” bumper sticker, he must nota liked my NOBAMA bumper sticker
Kathy commented:
Terry Schiavo was in hospice and the only medical equipment she required was a feeding tube. That may have made the musical less compelling, watching a woman starve to death may seem heartless to even small children how much easier to describe her as an expensive plant that requires a hospital full of devices and that to end her life was pulling the plug not removing a feeding tube and waiting a week.
oldguy commented:
You don’t make the connection between the Schiavo case and what’s happening to America?
patman commented:
You have to wonder about ALL media, even Fox.
It’s like Disney. They make big $ off families and children, then ABC pays $200k to a woman who murdered her daughter and buried the body in a Winnie the Pooh blanket.
Being that this is America I stand firm for freedom of speech and capitalism.
Don’t like it? Don’t watch it. But don’t act surprised.
USMC Thomas commented:
Seth MacFarlane is a coward, choosing to ridicule the most defenseless or least dangerous under the guise of social humor. How about a show about Mohammad marrying a six year girl and consummating the marriage when the child reached nine. It’s feminism issues would certainly appeal to a libturd like MacFarlane.
Aitch748 commented:
What a pathetic desperate little freak Seth MacFarlane is. This guy has descended into Ted Rall territory.
myohmy commented:
Who watch that cartoon anyway?
Hugh commented:
What is wrong with those people? Where is their humanity? To ridicule someone who was utterly and tragically helpless. That is really chilling. The people who run that production are textbook sociopaths. I haven’t ever watched that show–and never intend to. Appalling. This is not what the world needs more of. What a bunch of real freaks.
Militant Conservative commented:
Don’t care about this. Alright everyone be resposible like me and get a living will. There fixed it myself.
Now then, do not give up the fight against socialism.
powder is dry.
squeaky commented:
teri died and no one really knows if she indured
suffering or not. a guy in the lab coat can make you feel better, but in the end who knows.
sometimes people are allowed to pass by people who only viewed them as a drain on the estate. how much of teri’s insurance settlement was spent by her husband to advocate her death while a pregnant girlfriend stood in the sidelines…..
Texmom commented:
Even my college age sons think Family Guy has gone way over the edge lately, and they used to like the show. When they are alienating young college kids, you know they have pushed it too far.
AuntieMadder commented:
Who said Family Guy is a program for children?
Fwiw, I don’t find Family Guy to be at all funny and don’t watch it. What little I’ve seen of it and about it has been offensive.
BigJ commented:
I’m sure both viewers loved it.
OCBill commented:
The refrain of her lack of societal value (“expensive vegetable”) recalls the George Bernard Shaw quote, “If you’re producing as much as you consume, or perhaps a little more, then why should we (society) continue to support your existence? Your life is of no value to us, and it can’t be of very much use to yourself.” This is the same guy that proposed using gas to kill of the undesirables by the thousands long before Hitler built his first gas chamber.
OCBill commented:
Make that, “If you’re NOT producing as much as you consume”…
