I really think it takes a politically and socially aware viewer to really get all of the satire and comedy and messages in SP.
I'm not saying that it is the greatest show ever but I think Parker and Stone put a lot more meaning into SP than most people give them credit for, possibly even themselves.

Well, the astute viewer is well aware that they go after EVERYONE. There are too many viewers out there that think Parker and Stone are beacons of comedic light for liberal North America.
