"I find the timing of this to be very suspicious."

So do I. I'm not a South Park fan but did watch parts of a few episode. A couple of years ago, I regarded it as funny and irreverent and I can handle that. I've made brief visits to South Park lately and note that it has become highly political (read that political left).

Interesting. I have never watched it (well I tried) but a FR yesterday said it was critical of liberal positions.

Don't suppose you saw the "South Park" episode about the 2000 election ... not very liberal at all.

Radical leftist norman lear is now involved with their production.

You're not watching it very often, then. While they make fun of religion (and in particular, Mel Gibson and Mormons), their biggests attacks are saved for the left - people (Streisand, Reiner, etc.) and issues (organizations the ACLU typically protects, the smoking ban, government infringement in general, etc.).

Ah, you need to start actually watching South Park from beginning to end. It is political, with a very anti-liberal position.

I would not agree that they lean heavily to the left. I think they lean to the right but have a distate of religion.

Trey Parker and Matt Stone may be a lot of things, but one thing they aren't is leftist. They love to skewer the left, and they do a very good job of it. One of my favorites was the Janet Reno episode that just nailed her to the wall three days after the Elian Gonzales mess. And they didn't pull any punches last year when they did one of the funniest episodes ever on Ron Reagan and the left's new favorite wedge issue: stem cell research.

I used to enjoy southpark. no more.

They seem to have bought the PC hollyweird aganda hook line and sinker. (particularly with regards to attacking "the Passion")

They are equal opportunity bashers... but bash the left way more than the right.
