I may be a tofu eating environmentalist, but I sure enjoyed watching the old guy do that bit. Thanks for sharing that.Spiderbeavis wrote:He was at his best when he was both funny and spot-on. I didn't like his anti-religion views, but I respected the fact that he was an equal-opportunity offender.
Here's a hilarious monologue he did on the global warming hoax:

The global warming hoax bit was hilarious and a great example of his humor. He was pretty good at making light of issues on both, hell all sides of the spectrum.Spiderbeavis wrote:He was at his best when he was both funny and spot-on.

The beauty of George is that no matter what your politics are, you should be able to appreciate his own political brand of humor. There are not many comics who can make that claim.TrenchGoon wrote: It is sort of funny that this is a political issue...but it is.
From the little exposure I have had to Carlin, it seems to me that he takes his materialist world view to its rational conclussions, whereas, most materialists don't understand the implications of their own beliefs and so exist in what must be a state of constant cognitive dissidence--tending to accept mainstream traditional values while rejecting their underpinnings. Carlin seemed to accept that if what he believed was true, there were no underpinnings at all and that life was ultimately meaningless. I think this freed him from politics as such as cast him more as a general observer, which is why he couldn't be pinned down as left or right and why his jokes were funny, or offensive, to just about everybody. While I disagree with him philosophically, I respect his intellectual honesty and consistency.DanAS1 wrote: The beauty of George is that no matter what your politics are, you should be able to appreciate his own political brand of humor.
