I always looked at Team America as a satire of right wing thought. Basically the Bush worldview taken to comical extremes.
I know Parker and Stone are lolbertarians, but they managed to actually skewer the right pretty well back in the day.
Best evidence is in America (Fuck Yea), democrats get the normal "Fuck yea!" response while Republicans get only like 2 or 3 guys saying "Fuck yea". They know what they're about.
There's libertarians, and then there's libertarians. A good portion can't really be considered right wing, or at least not the same right wing. Being not in favor of most communist/socialist philosophy doesn't automatically make you in favor of conservatism or fascism, and neither of those are the same either.
