Cathy Seipp of National Review Online writes about the start of the tenth season of South Park:

[H]ow conservative, really, are the guys behind South Park?   

“I hate conservatives, but I really f***ing hate liberals,” said co-creator Matt Stone, in an oft-repeated quote from when Stone and partner Trey Parker accepted a  People for the American Way award in 2001. But if the creative team’s spitballs are lobbed mostly at people like Rob Reiner and Sean Penn et al, that’s mostly because the liberal elites are the ones mostly in charge.

“Hollywood views regular people as children, and they think they’re the smart ones who need to tell the idiots out there how to be... South Park was based on our hatred and loathing for Hollywood,” Parker and Stone told Hollywood, Interrupted authors Andrew Breitbart and Mark Ebner.

“We still believe that all people are born bad and made good by society,” Parker told Time this spring. “Actually, I think that’s where we’re conservative,” added Stone.
