Gone East

Old News

I've been hearing this term for a week of so, and only just now found an explanation. I'm not sure if I agree with this, but there could be something to it, and it's getting alot of buzz around the net. Stephen Stanton, Tech Central Station:

"South Park Republicans." The name stems from the primetime cartoon "South Park" that clearly demonstrates the contrast within the party. The show is widely condemned by some moralists, including members of the Christian right. Yet in spite of its coarse language and base humor, the show persuasively communicates the Republican position on many issues, including hate crime legislation ("a savage hypocrisy"), radical environmentalism, and rampant litigation by ambitious trial lawyers. In one episode, industrious gnomes pick apart myopic anti-corporate rhetoric and teach the main characters about the benefits of capitalism.
