I would say yes.

Someone in fact wrote a book about it called South Park Conservatives.

For starters, Trey PArker & Matt Stone are Libertarian and Republican respectfully, and they did create a conservative movie called Team America a few years back. In fact, I heard they're close friends with Dick Cheney and he did quote a line from the movie in relation to the Afghanistan dispute during a speech.

Also, there seems to be a disproportionate amount of episdoes that take more cheap shots on liberal issues than conservative causes. The main ones that come to mnd are Smug Alert and Night of ht eLiving Homeless. Then in recent episodes they've been taking cheap shots at Obama, most notably in the 3-part episdoe about the BP oil spill.

LMAO, really? Wasn't it just a few years back that conservatives bashed South Park?

The writers and creators of South Park are like most Americans. Fiscal conservatives and social liberals.

You are kidding, right?

South Park lampoons EVERYONE. The only difference is that the leftists have thinner skins.

Seems like more of a Libertarian bias to me. I love South Park. They rip on everyone.

Default Do C-D Posters have a South Park bias?

This may be the pertinent question. Are cartoons more life like than, life?

LOL. I agree. But I'll say its no so much liberals they hate. In fact, in the true definition of a liberal there is not much fault except that some of the policies they advocate have unfortunate unintended consequences.

Rathers, I'd say Trey and Matt find a whole lot to lampoon in the Keith Olberman and Rachel Maddow Democrat contingent. And who wouldn't find fault there?
