I haven’t seen much new from them. But calling them republican for criticizing al gore belies faullty logic.
For the crime of contending the campaign was more for personal gain is probably an accurate critique to a large degree. It often is with these aristocrats. Just like Robert Kennedy here, he doesn’t believe this shit, he’s playing them, it’s his thing, they all do it, none of them are authentic.
I never got the impression they were sanctimonius themselves, simply lampooning, mimicking, satirizing our society would come across like that however if one wasn’t able to make the distinction, because our influencers are. The ones I’ve seen it’s clearly satire, like they are making fun of the characters’ naivety and simpleness as they are in society not themselves moralizing to the audience.
Stone said in 2001, regarding his political views, “I hate conservatives, but I really fucking hate liberals.” When asked about that quote during a 2010 interview, Stone stated: “We don’t want you to come to it thinking, ‘These guys are going to bash liberals,’ … It’s so much more fun for us to rip on liberals only because nobody else does it, and not because we think liberals are worse than Republicans.” In 2006, Stone described himself as libertarian.
A 2001 Los Angeles Times article described Parker as “not overly political” and quoted him as saying he was “a registered Libertarian”. In 2004, Parker summed up his views with the comment:
What we’re sick of—and it’s getting even worse—is: you either like Michael Moore or you wanna fuckin’ go overseas and shoot Iraqis. There can’t be a middle ground. Basically, if you think Michael Moore’s full of shit, then you are a super-Christian right-wing whatever. And we’re both just pretty middle-ground guys. We find just as many things to rip on on the left as we do on the right. People on the far left and the far right are the same exact person to us.
