Change "South Park" to "George W. Bush"/The Republican Party and you
have a point.
wiki 1)
"South Park Republican" is a term that was circulated in weblogs and
articles on the Internet circa 2001 and 2002, to describe what authors
claimed as a "new wave" of young adults and teenagers who hold political
beliefs that are, in general, aligned with those that seem to underpin
gags and storylines in the popular television cartoon. The phrase was
coined by commentator Andrew Sullivan in 2001. Sullivan identified
himself as a South Park Republican after hearing that the show's
creators had "outed" themselves as Republicans at an awards ceremony.
{Because ... Sullivan is a hip young adult and/or teenager.}
wiki 2)
While South Park co-creator Matt Stone is a registered Republican,
co-creator Trey Parker is actually a registered member of the
Libertarian Party. As the show's co-creator, Matt Stone, sums it up: "I
hate conservatives, but I really fu*king hate liberals."
wiki 3) (Just for Kevin)
In summary, Parker states, "George Bush doesn't know what's going on.
Michael Moore does not know what's going on. And Alec Baldwin definitely
does not know what's going on."
