I think I interpreted your question differently from the first person who responded. The way I read it, you're asking why some people seem to feel the need to make fun of people who have disabilities. My response would be that for whatever reason, some people seem to feel better about themselves if they can put other people down. It's a hierarchy in which people make fun of those 'below' (or sometimes 'above') them in a given area, whether it be ability or socioeconomic class or whatever. The mentality is something to the effect of: 'Wow, look at them. What if that was me? It's a good thing I'm not like them. I hope everybody realizes I'm not like them. I know - I'll show everybody how far I am from being like that person.' And then come the taunts and rude remarks. It sounds harsh and illogical, but it's a way to deal with insecurities, and it happens time and time again.
