There is a form of anti-censorship, libertarian-leaning conservatism known as "South Park Republicans" and "South Park Conservatives." The creators are uneasy about stating their political views (even hesitating to declare themselves libertarians) <ref>Charlie Rose interview, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VqtLudQtIGs </ref>, though they note that of all the different groups they mock, [[Hollywood values|Hollywood Liberals]] display the most indignance. <ref> Interview on The Hour, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QLyVm4Rr2eo </ref> Matt Stone has stated, "I hate conservatives, but I really (expletive) hate liberals." <ref>http://www.manhattan-institute.org/html/_rp-hate_conservatives.htm</ref> Neither Trey Parker nor Matt Stone voted in the 2004 presidential election because they regarded both candidates as people they despised. More recently, the show has taken a more liberal tone, including mocking [[Glenn Beck]] and portraying [[Tea Party|"The Pissed Off And Angry Party"]] as sexually-insecure men who lack knowledge about government, however, the recent episode ''1%'' mocked the "Occupy" movement and the media frenzy that surrounded it. Glen Beck, a fan of the show, took South Park's parody of himself in good humour. <ref>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=btsMZxDBYEg</ref> Parker and Stone have stated that the reason they mock liberals so frequently is their insistence on telling people what to do.

One of the few liberal causes which is consistently supported by the show is the [[homosexual agenda]]. The main Aesop in the season one episode ''Big Gay Al's Big Gay Boat Ride'' is that homosexuality is an acceptable lifestyle. The episode was enthusiastically received by the radical homosexual group [[GLAAD]] and was nominated for an award by it.<ref>[http://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/television-lowbrow-and-proud-of-it-1153256.html Television: Lowbrow and proud of it - The Independent]</ref> Another episode from show's fifth season called ''Cripple Fight'' attempted to portray homosexuals as individuals capable of being responsible leaders for today's youth and children. The show endorsed [[same-sex "marriage"]] in the episode ''Follow That Egg!''

However it should be noted that when the Liberal Elites try to force the Scouts to accept gays by cutting off their funding, Big Gay Al steps in to remind them (while wholly disagreeing with their position) of Mountain Scouts' right to form their own policies on homosexuality.  This unfortunately results in Big Gay Al being called a homophobe, thus skewing the pro-gay lobbies as well. The show endorsed [[same-sex "marriage"]] in the episode ''Follow That Egg!''  

This show is known as an equal opportunity offender of religions and popular for making people laugh at the expense of others. Nearly every episode uses the [[Lord]]'s name in vain. Their depictions of the prophet Mohammed nearly resulted in the show's creators being killed after Muslims extremists issued death threats. <ref>[http://www.wnd.com/?pageId=144313 Islamic warning to 'South Park' still 'remains', WND, April 22, 2010]</ref>
