message: I'm wondering, are the entries in the external links section actually the sources used for the article? If so, I'd like to reclassify them as such using the layout at :Template:Reflist. Thanks! —Elipongo (Talk|contribs) 03:22, 1 March 2007 (UTC)

message: The "Meaning of Term" and "Usage" sections neither cite any sources and both, especially the prior, are sloppy. Someone want to take a try at rewriting them? --Col.clawhammer 10:27, 18 June 2007 (UTC)

message: Way too much of this information pertains more to the show then actual South Park republicans. While reading it I almost forgot that I wasn't on the show's page. The information needs some serious editing as a huge amount of the information is not relevent to the topic of the article. Glassbreaker5791 01:28, 23 July 2007 (UTC)

message: Just because you can google and get 'a lot' of web hits does NOT mean the subject meets Wikipedia notability guidelines. WP:NOTABLETheRedPenOfDoom 16:49, 7 November 2007 (UTC)

message: I've removed this bit: "They are simply not fans of extremists, and enjoy 'roasting' those on each side." The article had already mentioned that they consider themselves to be in the middle ground. (Trey Parker is quoted in this interview as saying, "And we're both just pretty middle-ground guys.") But whether they actually are or not is a matter of opinion. I'm sure there are many who consider their views to be extreme, even if they don't think so themselves, so I think that saying they are not fans of extremists is rather misleading in that respect. -- Oliver P.

message: Perhaps the title of this article could be changed to "Politics of South Park" or "Political Views of Matt Stone and Trey Parker".

replies: text: "Politics of South Park" is a very different topic than "South Park Republican" which was a short lived neologism that was applied to people (primarily Stone, Parker and perhaps 3 others in reliable sources) who maintain a certain political view. That is not to say that "Politics of South Park" should not be created (oh, it already has been), but it is a different article. I am not sure that "Political Views of Matt Stone and Trey Parker" is a notable topic outside of the label "South Park Republican" (and I am not even really a supporter that SPR is a notable topic). -- The Red Pen of Doom 14:26, 30 June 2008 (UTC)

message: "...center-right political beliefs that are, in general, aligned with those portrayed in the popular animated television show South Park." What are those views portrayed? Niew (talk) 17:03, 23 June 2009 (UTC)

message: In the U.K. South Park seems to be very much a favourite of the libertatian hard left, if anyone has come across a source for this fact I would very much to add it. It would be a good addition given Stone and Parkers disquiet with "South Park Republican" term. Pete the pitiless (talk) 18:10, 31 January 2010 (UTC)

message: I added a citation needed tag because I don't think they have really distanced themselves. They satirized the GOP with the "use the Republicans" scene and of course NPR was all over that. Well that's neither here nor there my point is they make fun of everyone that's good humor and that line should be removed unless it is cited.   — Preceding unsigned comment added by Burnedfaceless (talk • contribs) 20:39, 1 November 2013 (UTC)

message: This article as it is now is little  more than "here's a word, here's what it means, and here's its origin." 
Does something like that really deserve its own article? I doubt it. NotTheInferno (talk) 02:47, 9 February 2018 (UTC)

message: the article states "but more moderate or liberal in regard to social issues such as LGBT rights and abortion. " 
Isn't that a odd assumption since if we are talking about people whose views reflect or are influenced by those of the show since it has seemed to be fairly critical of abortion? 71.236.151.125 (talk) 09:15, 23 August 2023 (UTC)
