HP for Book of Mormon alone (thanks  Crab Cake), but then there's South Park's increasingly disgustingly Randian/Objectivist views which are literally only good for satire on social extremes, never is the libertarian viewpoint mocked from a populist perspective...not once. Any satire worth jack must mock all sides at some point.
Family Guy compared McCain/Palin supporters to Nazis. How is that alright, and South Park being moderate heroes with a libertarian bent not?

Also, as a (somewhat) recovering Objectivist, you clearly have no idea what Objectivism is. I have never seen South Park, outside of antagonist Cartman defend ideas originated from Rand.

Instead South Park is a Libertarian's Family Guy with less sex and murder and more toilet humour and cursing. Same ridiculous political bent,same crudeness, same eye bleeding animation.
These are fair points.

Then there's Trey Parker's very vindictive little BS against a woman named Lianne, that's where Cartman's ma came from.
So? I think that is rather clever.

Matt Stone alone is okay though, but by association....
I don't know about this; I think they are both talented, but without the other, I don't see them going anywhere.

And they don't have musical culture like Seth MacFarlane as a save, and Team America just isn't Ted.
MacFarlane fancies himself an intellectual, but his comedy, as you note below, is low brow. And he fills his episodes with obnoxious Broadway numbers that last up to a third of the episode ("Mr. Booze"). It is just a lazy form of comedy.

They deserve credit for really pounding it when they do have it right,without forcing in something perverted or putting a cutaway gag/Manatee Ball first before getting back to what they want to say.
They are great at that, no doubt.

But ultimately BRTD just isn't wrong, sorry conservatives and libertarians but a stopped clock is right at least twice.
He is. And South Park has plenty of episodes in which they embrace the left.
