4. Watching a documentary on the Simpsons...

hard to tell becasue of his humor... things lik NRA4EVER comes up when maggie is scanned, etc.

[Borgnine]

20. The 138th Episode Spectacular.

That episode portrayed the producers in a ridiculous light. They showed Groening as a bald gun-toting militia member and I believe Sam Simon as a bearded elderly man with long fingernails at a typewriter. It was all done tongue-in-cheek, and actualy, NRA4EVER was just a gag for that episode. It never actually appears in the normal opening montage.

2. Big Time Democrat and I can prove ya

Quite a good crowd of democrats I must say and some that unfortunely didnt get to be senator like Harvey Gantt and Tom Bresierre.

[Reverend_Smitty]

3. He's gotta be a stone cold liberal...

have you seen any episodes this season? They are dripping with political comentary

[Tom Kitten]

5. I think he's a right wing reactionary...

At least he referred to himself that way once on one of his "cartoons"...

[countmyvote4real]

6. keyword: "reactionary" eom

[Tom Kitten]

you are sharp nt

[sakabatou]

7. Have you not seen the Fox News parody

When the bus comes around blaring "We are the Champions!"?

[JohnKleeb]

8. or how the RNC HQ is portrayed

Its Count Dracula's castle and Dracula is a member of the party.

[sakabatou]

13. Or how they applauded a water cooler as the RNC leader

[JohnKleeb]

14. hah yeah

and that Birch Barlow is obviously a carnciature of rush limbaugh.

[sakabatou]

15. Funny how I used to say his name as Lim-Bog.

[JohnKleeb]

17. My image of him remains from how they parodied him

My image of Saddam Hussein was until he was captured was like he is on South Park.

[Sandpiper]

16. Or how they had Bob Dole reading from the Necronomicon

At an RNC meeting.

:rofl:

[JohnKleeb]

18. hahahaha oh yeah definely

[Twillig]

9. I'm never sure when these questions are serious or not.

Like a few days ago when someone thought that, perhaps, Alan Alda was a conservative.


Buhahahah.

[CanuckAmok]

10. the only Simpsons bigwig who has contributed to RW causes:

Nancy Cartwright (Bart).

The ironing is delicious.

[JohnKleeb]

11. Yeah but here's more irony for you

Dan Castenalla is a vegeterian who doesn't drink beer :).

[CanuckAmok]

12. Yesh... sacrilicious!

n/t

[LibertyorDeath]

19. A Democrat & Brilliant

[martymar64]

21. If he lived in Venice, CA then he must be liberal

I used to live there. Rethugs won't set foot there, it freaks them out too much. They see Harry Perry coming and off they run! Nancy Cartwright is a Scientologist.

[Jamison]

22. Liberal

Some of the content of the show definitely offends RW fundies. These type of people don't allow their children to watch it.
