I understand that south park on the outside is very crude and inappropriate for young kids but if you watch full episodes you start to realize that there is a point to every show. "including hate crime legislation ("a savage hypocrisy"), radical environmentalism, and rampant litigation by ambitious trial lawyers. In one episode, industrious gnomes pick apart myopic anti-corporate rhetoric and teach the main characters about the benefits of capitalism." -Stephen W. Stanton
One episode was about one of the kid's fathers saying N***** on television because he thought it was an answer on wheel of fortune and in order to apologize to the black community he has to literally kiss Jessie Jackson's butt for a newspaper photographer. They also did a famous episode about Scientology. And every once in a while there's a episode with no point except for making fun of democrats.

A recent episode was Hillary campaigning through south park and they played the episode like an episode of 24 and cartman was trying to find a bomb that turned out to be a "snuke" up Hillary's "sniz"(privates) and when a friend of hers offered to get it out when everyone else was too scared he went under the blanket and it looked like a horror movie when a guy gets grabbed and pulled into a cave or something.

South Park is a lesson in freedom. Whether you love South Park or hate it is a personal choice. What I love about libertarians is that an outlaw biker who loves South Park, a Church Pastor and a Gay bar owner can all exist in the same room and agree on libertarian principles.
South Park is extremely clever, however it is absolutely not appropriate for children because they will only understand the crude portions and not the reason why they are there. They are there because we live in a free society that should question itself constantly on every level, and that is an adult only concept. They are very preachy about social matters, in fact there is a South Park lesson for nearly every topic now.
The writers make fun of liberals, conservatives and libertarians fairly equally. Take episode 701 where they ask the founding fathers about the war as an example. The conclusion they come to is that America is great because we can go to war and protest war at the same time thus looking like we don't want to go to war (note, i may not agree with this, i am using it as an example of how they poke fun in a universal way).
Episode 203 makes fun of Ayn Rand. If I were insecure about my beliefs that would bother me, but I'm not so it doesn't.

A real libertarian is one who believes that government has a very limited function, and that the government should stay out of our personal business. We pay taxes for specific tasks, and a libertarian is likely to get annoyed or even irate should the government stray from those tasks.
Not sure about "south park" but a conservative used to mean that one wanted to take the least damaging approach - going into debt was seen as risky. Getting involved in foreign conflicts was sometimes required, but a conservative would want a good hard look and some serious consequences for failing to act before taking any action (WWII was an example where not acting was far worse that acting). The Republicans used to be the party of fiscal restraint and good hard looks at foreign policy. I think that changed during the Viet Nam era when a Democrat escalated the war and then the social protests were so heated that people took a "love it or leave it" stance and called it "conservative."
I think calm and rational debate is sorely lacking regardless of where you sit on the political landscape.

It would appear so. I am critical of anyone who is sanctimonious and love to see a good smackdown (on either side). I really like South Park and watched it since the beginning. Long Live South Park!!!!

I ignore it. It's not for me or my home where I'm rearing a child.
Like prime rib with too much fat.
