They are handicapped, not delicate little flowers.

Trig is barely five years old. You're simply looking for an excuse to try and justify the 'joke'. Partisanship like that is completely deplorable; I would show the same reaction if it was a conservative mocking a Dem's child.
Disgusting.

So Bill Maher made a joke and it was in poor taste.
Ok. So what? He's paid to make jokes. He made thousands before this one that weren't like this. I think it's safe to say that in an attempt to ride the line between funny and insulting, he staggered onto one side.
Thats to be expected.

Calling a handicapped kid "retarded" is not "making fun of them." It's just being malicious.

Trust me, I'd be making this same argument if it was a conservative mocking a dems child.
He made a bad joke. Get over it.

Irrelevant. Just because people find him funny doesn't justify mocking a five year old little boy just because of his disability. Mayer is supposed to be an adult.

So, don't watch the show. Seems simple enough. If it's as offensive as you say, surely Maher will lose audience over it.

That's like saying 'a politician stated he doesn't like black people the other day, but I don't care because I didn't see him say it'. People have the right to criticise stuff.
