Another episode introduced a girl with [[Down Syndrome]]. During a conversation, she remarked that [[Sarah Palin|her mother]] was the governor of [[Alaska]].

Aside from the anti-Conservative and anti-Religious agenda being pushed, the show also is notorious for depicting an extremely unflattering (and at many times very inaccurate) image of the [[South (U.S. region)|South]], such as claiming they were still bitter about the [[Confederate States of America]] having lost the [[Civil War]], depicting them as being way behind in terms of technology and culture by a century to the extent of still having one-room schoolhouses (despite there not being any one-room schoolhouses for a little over half a century anywhere in America, let alone the South), everyone being outsmarted by a pig, having their personal standards being depicted as so low they viewed the character Meg Griffin as a goddess, being depicted as white-supremacists to the extent of falsely equating Klan activity being at its peak in Mississippi during the 1960s instead of Indiana during the 1920s or having blonde twin girls singing white power songs when the twins were actually from California, and also implying that one of the states, North Carolina, was 48th in Education (when, at the time the episode aired, North Carolina had actually doubled in rank, being at 24th place).
