The Sad Misguided Life of George Carlin. He was NOT a genius, and NOT a hero.

[Mashmont]

I notice that you conveniently skipped the part about raping children. How modest is that?

The vast majority of child rapes are done by the irreligious (as defined by those who do not attend church). Do you want to talk about that?

Yeah, but the irreligious rapists go to prison and the Bible thumping rapists go to another church with fresh meat.

 

[Grumblenuts]

Despite his substance abuse and health problems Carlin lived to 71 and performed his difficult stage acts nearly flawlessly right up to the end. One can legitimately fling poo after doing the same.

Yeah, it's true that comedy often comes from sadness and hardship. To not recognize Carlin's genius is to just be a hater. Isn't it telling that it's the "god" people who are fastest to judge and the last to listen?

Huh? You mean law enforcement can't arrest clergy?

Flawlessly? How do you know? The man was an addict most of his adult life. The drugs and booze were doing the talking. And y'all buy everything he said.

Carlin's attacking good people wasn't funny. It was sick. And wrong. Fueled by drugs and booze.

We buy what he said? We laughed at what he said. It was humor. And at a very high literacy level for comedy.

I think the measure of a comedian's life is not what some fundie, Xtian hack says. But what other comedians say. And what the audiences said. By those measures he was a very accomplished comedian, author and observer of the human condition.

If someone does something stupid, they get mocked. That is fair game.

Carlin did not attack people over the good things they did. He mocked them for the stupid things they did.

Carlin's attacking good people wasn't funny.

Mashmont ’s support to look for WMD in Iraq by bombing invading and killing half a million viable human beings there because he was afraid in March 2003 makes him an accessory to an atrocity. Carlin is a saint compared to this muderous thug posting his holier than thou-ness crap all over the place.

Carlin thought that, too. Imagine the shock.

Carlin was funny... Pointing up the ridiculous. He brought lots of laughs and made people think. What a gift.

I agree. He was a gift to us for making us think and, especially, for making us laugh.

 

[NotfooledbyW]

like Mashmont ‘s support for invading Iraq to look for WMD by killing human beings instead of letting UN inspectors finish the search peacefully. Satan could not have found a better client than Mashmont to bring about the business of mass death and mayhem of unnecessary war.

If you want something funny, you could do a Carlin riff on Carlin:

"Now if you want a REAL bullshit con game, look no further than George Carlin. Imagine. Here is a guy getting up on stage, charging bigtime admission, taking advantage to gullible stooges, getting rich off them, giving advice on how you shouldn't live, who you shouldn't listen to, who you shouldn't believe, and who you shouldn't trust.....and then you look at the guy dispensing all this advice, the guy who you trust and believe with all your heart.......and he woke up in a puddle of his own piss last Thursday".........

And you could take off from there. Now THAT would be a funny Carlin monologue.

 

[WinterBorn]

Would you hire a drunk living over a grate downtown to be your life coach? Absurd notion, isn’t it?

Well, if you read the comments of thousands of his fans on George Carlin’s online videos, people appear willing to do just that. His most popular appearance videos; the one against religion and the one pushing abortion drew heaping praise from hundreds of troubled commenters

Carlin is a big hit with the atheists due to his smug profane stand up routine against religion. They praise his life “wisdom” and “intelligence”. It's reminiscent of the bad kids in elementary school who seemed popular, the ones with the ugly sophistication who knew more about sex than they should have.

His other big routine was the one pushing abortion from his album “Back in Town”. It was pure evil venom. That routine was where the left got most of its now-trite talking points on abortion:

• pro-life women are too ugly to have sex with
• anti-abortion people are not pro-life; they’re pro-birth because they won’t make kids wards of the state.
• Pro-life people kill abortion doctors
• Pro-life people are hate women.

All these talking points came from Carlin in 1996. Prior to that, you never heard them. So much for leftwingers’ originality.

Early in his career, Carlin went for clean comedy. But then he made a pact with Satan, and started on the dark but lucrative road of going after filth and the seamy side of humanity. He made millions from the emotionally troubled people who reveled in his snark against everything decent. Sort of the way Hugh Hefner made millions from leading men to hell through porn. Or the way heavy-metal bands led unstable youth to drug use. Carlin found victims and exploited them for fame and fortune. The easiest money you can make.

The fact is, Carlin’s life was a trainwreck, starting from an early age. He abandoned the Catholic religion he was brought up in, and his life spun out of control. He was a troublemaker in school, having been expelled at age 15, and then court-martialed three times in his time in the Air Force.

He spent most of his adult life addicted to drugs and alcohol. At age 67, a time when most people have things figured out, Carlin had to go to a rehab center for the umpteenth time. His substance abuse exacerbated his health. He’d had three heart attacks before the one that killed him at the age of 71.

Ironically, the atheist left celebrates the worst people, and tries to destroy the great people. Carlin is treated as a folk hero by the left. He wasn't a hero. He was a sad sick misguided man who damaged his own child’s upbringing. He was a leading force in the degradation of society from the 1970s on, pushing indecency and filth. He wasn’t brilliant. He didn’t give sound advice. His schtick just appealed to weak people. Hopefully Carlin repented on his deathbed and saved his soul. Though we cannot really know the state of his mind nor the effects of events on his sanity, one might imagine he had much to answer for upon his death. But let it be a cautionary tale for the living. Care what happens to other people.

The line in the OP "pro-life women are too ugly to have sex with" is from a joke Carlin told. Another of his "did you ever notice" gems.

It was funny. But even more than that, it showed Carlin's courage doing what he did. Most comedians would do 15 to 30 minutes of material before they jumped out with that one. Carlin opened with that joke. Not only that, he opened with that joke are Carnegie Hall.

LMAO!! Carlin made people laugh. If that is the worst thing someone does, you have no grounds for your hatred.

He didn't lead anyone anywhere. If someone did something wrong, it was because THEY CHOSE to do something wrong. This idea of blaming people's wrong (sins) on someone else because they were "led astray" is the vilest kind of bullshit. Make someone else responsible, and then spew hatred, but ignore the individual who made the choice.

 

[Mashmont]

The funny thing is pro-life women are usually very pretty. Usually moms themselves.

On the other hand....

 

[NotfooledbyW]

he woke up in a puddle of his own piss last Thursday"...

at least he woke up .. . thanks to you Mashmont these viable human being never woke up again so you could find WMD 8000 miles away from where you live.

Let us not forget their names - they died for simply being Iraqi.

The Pentagon reported on 7 April that .A B2 bomber dropped four 2000-pound laser-guided GBU-24 bunker-buster bombs on the Al Saa Restaurant in the al Mansour District of Baghdad that Intelligence sources claimed was a meeting place of Saddam Hussein, his two sons, and senior Iraqi regime leaders.

It's the pro-abortion women you wouldn't want to be involved with. Obese, unattractive. Nasty. Profane. Angry. Ultra-short hair. No make up. Dirt under their fingernails from working in the garden. Smell like dog pee. Half of them don't even "like" men, if you know what I mean.

So now you are doing what you condemn Carlin for doing? The hypocrisy is astounding.

I guess that "We are all God's children" stuff only applies to some?

 

[Mashmont]

Let's hear more from 'deeply offended atheists' who laugh like hyenas when Carlin ridicules good people, but not when somebody gives it back to Carlin.
Enjoying the hypocrisy.
