For anyone who didn't see the whole episode, Chris had a crush on a Downs Syndrome girl and she ended up being a total bitch and Chris learned that regardless of someone's lot in life an ahole is an ahole.

I don't think she would have minded as much if it was at her
but the exact quote was, when chris was asking the girl with downs syndrome about her family, "My mom used to be governor of Alaska"
which was viewed as taking a shot at her/her child with downs syndrome
I watch family guy all the time, but even I thought that was too far. Making fun of downs syndrome is one thing (even if as you say the message was that an ass%$%$ is an assh#*$ no matter what), but making an individual child with downs syndrome the but of a joke is wrong.
