111. I'm not really a fan of the show
but I understand that sometimes liberals do funny things. The problem is their is a certain class that is humor impaired. (I have met alot more humor impaired conservative fundies mind you)

Let me give you a "South PArk Moment" from real life.


The kids in my high school (early to mid eighties) decided to have an anti-apartheid march. So a couple of hundred students and their parents decided to have the big march, signs were made, streets were closed off etc.

Now do you remember that scene in Blazing Saddles where they look around at the town they built knowing they forgot something but couldn't exactly think what. That happened to us and then it dawned on us. We had no black people in the march. Since the public high school was all white. (Heck even the beaches were for residents only so they were all white. we quickly sent a couple of teams of people to the a neighboring town that had it's own schools and beaches and was 80% black to recruit some color.*


(Now I had posted this before and the response was what is wrong with white folks protesting Apartheid.)

Sorry but that is where South Park sometimes hits the nail on the head.

That said if the "some"** in the democratic party would stop supporting gun bans, the war on drugs,zero-tolerance school policy, speech codes and realize that some people do shop at Walmart cause the Williams Sonoma catalog is a little dear there would probably be a lot more Democrats.

* Note to the the protest took place in a very liberal (and segregated) Fairfield County Ct

** They tend to be the loud standard bearers not the rank and file. :)
