Proof South Park isn't Republican is on now
The episode where Big Gay Al gets kicked out of the Boy Scouts. The new, straight Scoutmaster turns out to be a child molester that threatens to hurt the kids if the tell anyone.

Basically makes fun of conservatives the entire episode.

This is Republican how?

12. I think its libertarian actually
Just my opinion and that was a funny episode. Mr. Grasher or whatever his name was, what an asshole.

3. South Park? Republican?
I don't get how anyone could possibly make that claim.

And people on this board went apesh*t, ignoring the episodes where conservatives were lampooned.

4. The guys at South Park are equal opportunity comics.
The thing that seperates them from supposedly "funny" Repukes, is that they can make fun of Liberals and have it be *funny*.
Come on... Babs as Mecha-Godzilla?
Hysterical.

OxyRush making fun of Chelsea Clinton?
Just mean.

Humor is for smart people.

5. I won't watch it because...
of the spoof on Queer Eye for the Straight Guy, basically setting up a scene where a bunch of women break into the Fab 5's studio and bludgeon them to death.

Of course it turns out that the Fab 5 weren't real but puppets made for the Scheming Crab people to take over the world. It sounds funny but when you see it its very disturbing to look at. I don't know why they thought that could be funny.

7. haven't seen that one, but it sounds like
based on your description, that they were satirizing the the doom-and-gloom of the anti-gay right?

after that slapping of the Mormons they did last week, anything is possible. That ep was HILARIOUS though :)

10. That was more about
how all of the men in town were "metrosexual", and the women got so mad that the men now cared more about themselves than anything else, so they decided to get rid of the "fab 5".

Turns out the whole "metrosexual" thing was a plot by the underground crab people to take over the world!

8. Oh they make fun of everyone.
I saw a few episodes that roasted this shit out of Pat Robertson and his Christian Coalition. They rip everyone, not just one side or the other.

9. it makes fun of Social conservatives, but that's about it
it also promotes social conservatism when it comes to stem-cell research, and promotes economic conservatism and anti-environmentialism as well.

Trey Parker is a libertarian, accept it

14. One of the creators is a registered Republican,
and voted for Bush. They're pushing a Republican agend, without the social issues.

16. I searched on google for some proof of them being repukes
and all I could find was info. about them being "small l" libertarians...

I just don't believe they are active republicans...they admitted they didn't vote in 2000 cuz they found both the candidates "boring".

23. Yes. V-Chip, Lieberman type "liberalism"
is what Trey and Matt dislike. They dislike censorship and "thought control". If you watch "Bowling for Columbine" you get a good sense of how Matt Stone thinks.
