So many contradictions an inconsistencies in this drug and booze addled dickwads rant it's hard to know where to start.
A non-thinking s**twad that beats the liberals dead horse: the rich are f'ng you. Typical left-wing class warfare bullfeces!

Think about this... this talentless crapwad made a fortune in this country.
If the "man" is that powerful why didn't they stop him??? Why didn't they? because his rant is left-wing bullkrap.

There are so many rags-to riches stories in this country that his audience should have been laughing at him... But they didn't because Carlin is right about one thing Americans lack "critical thinking"!

Gullible and stupid are a people that can elect an empty suit like Obama because he promised pie in the sky "hope and change".

RIP George Carlin. You are definitely missed.

My favorite comedian of all time. He spoke nothing but truth. He was the same as watching a GOOD dark comedy, wondering how something so serious can make one laugh SO hard. A TRUE artist.

If anyone is just NOW figuring out his genius, that's really a shame.

Wake up people!

See the unfortunate thing is that Carlin was once funny. He's dead now which of course reduces the amount of humor a guy can deliver, but I'm talking about earlier, before he died. He did actual comedy rather than angry commentary. A person can get the political/social hostility from Rush Limbaugh or Keith Olbermann. Carlin didn't need to add on to that pile. Geroge made a person laugh and in so doing, forget the Limbaughs and the Olbermanns, at least for a while. Somewhere near the end George forgot he was a comedian. I prefer to remember the earlier Carlin.

You're kidding. The only thing that I found remotely humorous was his hippy-dippy weatherman routine... and he beat that to death!
The other bit that was funnier was his heart attack... after that he became just another shrill democrat comic.

?Genius? gimme a break... I'd rather watch re-runs of the Gong Show.

This rant of yours keeps Mr. Carlin's spirit alive. That's beautiful.

I hope you're laughing your fuc$ing ass off George.

Your ignorance is showing... you never listened to Limbaugh otherwise you would know that he is not hostile.

Good one. A comment worthy of Carlin's early work.

Lenny Bruce wasn't funny either.

Yeah, what he says is true, but so what? Nothing is going to change and George is dead (RIP).

I liked him better when he was the "hippy dippy mailman" The world needs more joy and laughter, not someone bringing you down about situations that you have no control over.

He should have read "Think and Grow Rich", he'd have ended up a much happier guy.

He had a way of delivering the message that worked well. The only problem is that some of his audience are closed minded when it comes to political views or beliefs. Not much of anything can get through to them and they fail to learn.

George Carlin was "right about America"?

Carlin was nothing more than a foul-mouthed Rush Limbaugh counterpart.
