its easy to say something like that, but if you have seen enough south park you would know that they dont really draw any lines.

in the south park film they take black soldiers and strap them to tanks as "protection" to the tanks. they show spielberg and lucas literally raping indiana jones. they have entire episodes dedicated to bashing scientology, mormonism, judaism, and catholicism. an insecure, weak-willed jesus is a reoccurring character. a singing piece of shit is the christmas mascot.

there have been enough reasons for people to protest against south park, and they have, but never do they go as far as censoring characters except when muhammad is concerned. (to be fair, they do censor words that they consider extreme profanity [on occasion])

I seriously doubt it would have been "just as censored". That wasn't their message, but Trey and Matt have had no trouble parodying the US military in the past: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Team_America:_World_Police.

I believe "Team America: World Police" covered that ground.

"Cowardly", "stupid", "inept bumbling fools", even "homosexual" -- it accused the entire military apparatus of being everything they insist they aren't.

I don't recall it being censored. Or protested. That said, it didn't air on TV either.

Not true. I watched TA:WP uncut on Comedy Central. I kept thinking, "well, they'll have to cut that scene" but they showed the whole thing.

Puerile. Flashback to Latin class :)
