Ya, the funny thing to me is I have liberal friends who don't realize these guys are conservatives.

Do a google search, there have been books written on this topic.

If you watched the whole episode it was pretty much a pro-legalize prostitution episode. Not sure how that really works into the conservative agenda. It dogged on acorn yes, but also the cops, and the asshole types of pimps.

I consider libertarians to be conservatives who want to do drugs and prostitutes.

What would being them leaning toward Libertarian have to do with anything?

One of the things that works about this show is that they're not partisan, they're make fun out of anyone and any ideology. They also do not identify as conservative any more than liberal. They've said that they hate both.

Page 4 of this interview discusses it: linky (http://reason.com/archives/2006/12/05/south-park-libertarians/3)

Nope. I know that those guys like to say that they hate all, but I have watched every episode of every season and they mock dems again and again and again and any time they put a conservative on they phone it in.

Stone sums up their views with the comment "I hate conservatives, but I really fucking hate liberals."[3]

But since you like links:

You notice that also includes that statement 'I hate conservatives' right?

From the interview I linked to, it looks like they don't like to identify any particular way. Meanwhile, episodes have had social and political messages that aren't very conservative.

Show definitely cuts both ways.

Did you notice that you basically repeated what you said before?

OK, my last two cents on the topic. I know what they say, I know how they describe themselves, it does not mean crap. If you list the political leaning of those they mock it is 99% liberals.

Except that none of what you're saying is actually true and a couple of links to the ideological identification of other people who happen to watch the show doesn't mean anything.
