The Simpsons: A Right Wing Conspiracy?

[p0ink]

i was searching around the internet, and i saw several sites for liberals, where they were bitching about the simpsons being a 'right wing conspiracy.'

nonsense.

here are some of my favorite 'right-wing' simpsons moments:

When Krusty Ran For Office

Newscaster: Welcome to Fox News, your voice for evil

Krusty: Are you guys any good at covering up youthful and middle-aged indiscretions?
Mr. Burns: Are these indiscretions romantic; financial; or treasoness?
Krusty: Russian hooker. You tell me

Krusty: I vow to reach out to the Latino community! Voya vomital en la tomba de tu madre!
[Gasps by crowd]
Bumblebee Man: Oy-yoy-yoy
Krusty: What did I say? What did I say?
Bumblebee Man: You said you were going to vomit on their mother's graves!
Krusty: Oh! So that's why my maid quit!

Fox News Reporter: …And for the Democrats, this guy. [Video of candidate with horns and Soviet flag in the background]
Candidate: I have a name!
Fox News Reporter: Yes, I'm sure you do, comrade.

Krusty: May I say something?
Fox News Reporter: Certainly, Congressman.
Democratic Candidate [Whose video is now upside down]: He hasn't won yet!
Fox News Reporter: You make a very adulterous point…

Fox News Ticker:
... Pointless news crawls up 37 percent ... Do Democrats cause cancer? Find out at FOXNEWS.COM ... Rupert Murdoch: Terrific Dancer ... Dow down 5000 points ... Study: 92 percent of Democrats are gay ... JFK Posthumously joins Republican Party ... Oil slicks found to keep seals young, supple ...

Ticker during ending credits:
... Ashcroft declares breast of chicken sandwich "Obscene" ... Hillary Clinton Embarrasses self, nation ... Bible says Jesus favored capital-gains cut ... Only dorks watch CNN ... Jimmy Carter: Old, wrinkly, useless ... Brad Pitt + Albert Einstein = Dick Cheney ...

Nothing wrong with the simpsons IMO... but its the shows like family guy and southpark they should be worried about.

You forgot the episode where Bob ran for mayor of springfield. That was hardly a right wing episode.

 

[Frackal]

isnt that a GOP simpson character showing his evil soul to the world poink

 

[flex123]

anyone remember that show that was on either last year or sometime during this year. It didn't last long. Maybe not even an entire season.

It was real actors but dressed in superhero clothes. It was sorta like a real life comic book show.

anyone remember this show? whats the name of it? and why did it go off? cause of ratings possibly?

Candidate: I have a name!
Fox News Reporter: Yes, I'm sure you do, comrade.



It's sad that people cannot see both sides of this. The joke is on Fox News, largely touted as part of a right-wing conspiracy, as much as (if not more than) it is on democrats.

I'd say it's more of a leftist show than anything. but it probably lies in the middle since it makes fun of both right and left wing institutions.

I agree. That's what I like about the show. It seems to me that they will take equal advantage of whatever aspect of the political spectrum presents itself.

exactly. you name it they make fun of it. I've never once seen a "very special" simpsons. Best show ever, and after all these years it's still funny.

and for those idiots that say it's a right wing show, lisa simpson is the biggest left winger ever.

I swear, sometimes P0ink spends a little too much time to these leftist websites, he has WAY too much time on his hands but then again I have a lot of time on my hands too.

The Simpons bash everyone and everything they can. I love that show.

 

[dawookie]

I think the superhero show you are talking about is called "The Tick"

 

[danielson]

lol....thats probably a jab at fox like silent method said, that show cracks me up

 

[the nature boy]

that show had something for everyone. Even William Bennett could empathize with marge when she had her very own gambling problem.
