The man is brilliant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bartshan-83 Posted November 16, 2004 Share Posted November 16, 2004 I love Carlin. My buddies all saw him last year while I was out of town :I starred in Brokeback Mountain: and I really regret not having made it happen myself. Comic genius and legend in his own time.

BRH Posted November 16, 2004 Share Posted November 16, 2004 I think it was Jon Stewart who termed the "Holy Trinity of Comics" as being Lenny Bruce, Richard Pryor and George Carlin. I couldn't agree more. Every comic owes much of his material (and most of his paycheck) to at least one, if not more, of these three guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Guest Posted November 16, 2004 Share Posted November 16, 2004 Are you guys nuts? I cannot stand the man. His ultra-liberal, socialist political views, which he disguises as "comedy" to spew out, are anti-American. Truly disgusting that he has a following as large as it is. The guy is a socialist. Guaranteed in that show: He'll bash our President, our foreign affairs, our involvement in Iraq, our military and our history. The guy should move to the Middle East or a communist country if he thinks we are doing so much wrong or bad here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeInRoch Posted November 16, 2004 Share Posted November 16, 2004 I saw him three times in a 5 year span several years ago. The first time was great, the second time was ok, and I didn't like the third time at all. Most of the problem was that he really didn't seem to have any new material. His old material was outragously funny - but not after having seen it already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regardless of political view. He doesn't vote for anyone and says so over and over. That way, he can't be blamed for screwing everything up. Don't let facts get in the way of a good rant, though.

He is an ultra-liberal 60's hippie, with very pro-socialist views. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carlin has made it a point, for years, of saying that he does not vote...as ultra-liberal, 60's hippie, pro-socialist as that may be! This will kill you, I have tickets to see Bill Maher Thursday! You would probably have a stroke at a show like that. I plan on having a good laugh! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you don't like what someone has to say, well then by golly, they must be "unAmerican" and should have to live in the Middle East. Hey, why don't you go start up the HUAAC again, there, buddy?

Whether he's a socialist hippy or not, he's not involved in the political process in the least. Pulling the stick out of your butt might help you understand his humor.

Part of that is freedom of speech. And while Carlin is free to spout off about how messed up/bad we are, then I'm free to say that his show is garbage. And unfortunately, you guys are free to vote. I can tell by your responses that you clowns did not like the results of the recent elections!

His show is a bit political but he rips everything stupid. By no means a conservative bashing liveral love-fest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope to god he comes back alive. I still think George Carlin is pretty funny and thought provoking at the same time. My nephew likes him to.
