I was just curious what the conservatives thought of these shows. Of course the Libs love them. I would think even if I were conservative I would find the shows amusing... possibly even enlightening!

I just haven't really seen any negative comments about their shows in the past and my conservative friends don't really seem to have anything negative to say either. Is this possible?!

    Conservatives like a show like the Daily Show whereas the Democrats wouldn't like the conservative equivalent (true equivalent - Not Colbert). Because when it comes down to it, liberals are the most intolerant group out there.

    Is there a conservative equivalent?

    Funny shows...I don't catch them often though. And they do make fun of everybody, true more often it's the repubs...but the repubs had the power...we'll see if this shifts that at all.

    i've found skinheads to be quite intolerant. liberals?...not so much...not much gets them riled up aside from the ignorance, inequality, and hypocrisy. damn their open-mindedness! ;)

    of course they're funny. It would seem that conservatives actually have a sense of humor about themselves and aren't threatend when an opposing group makes a joke about them. I find the "possibly even enlightening" statement as fairly arrogant though. How come when conservatives have a view they are sheep or ignorant...but when a democrat has an opinion that's different (from a conservative viewpoint) they view themselves as capable of independent thought and truly enlightened?

    yeah it's a good show. I like that book America that they did too.

    It's a funny take on the news because you know where they stand obviously but they gig everybody and never miss a chance to poke fun at the events of the day.

    You have to like a news show that dosen't take itself so seriously.

    It's comedy central so it's not intended to replace hard news duh, but by that time in the evening I've heard about most of the events anyway so it's always fun to see thier take on what happened and get a laugh before I go to sleep.
    My Girlfriend said to me..."How many guitars do you need?" and I replied...."How many pairs of shoes do you need?" She got really quiet.

    No, because the liberals wouldn't watch it and tv folks wouldn't produce it. Conservatives wouldn't be able to watch TV at all if they got offended at every little thing. Well, maybe PAXtv and Fox News.

    South Park seems to lean a bit to the right, and it's one of the most popular shows on cable - loved by liberals and conservatives alike.

    It's hard to argue that "tolerance of intolerance" is something a tolerable person should tolerate

    What the hell is wrong with you people?

    Arguing over who is more tolerant? Holy crap...you sound like 4 year-olds...

    'I'm more tolerant"

    "No, I'm more tolerant"

    "NOOOOOO, I'm more tolerant"

    "MOMMMMMMMMMMMMYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

    I think they like to think of themselves as Libertarian-esque, but I'd say they skewer the left a bit more than the right. But they always find ways to make me laugh regardless. The show last night where Mrs. Garrisson was forced to teach evolution was classic. I really can't believe the stuff that show gets away with on Comedy Central.
