    Like many a holy figure, George Carlin is better than the people who invoke his name.https://twitter.com/Dualityman81/status/1177932857261453314 …

    Wow, this is from 1990. And I thought us “sensitive” folk didn’t understand the unfunny punching down jokes from these “comedians”. Interesting https://twitter.com/zei_nabq/status/1177481833367265281/video/1 …

        Andrew Dice Clay fans at the time did not know he was Jewish.

        Carlin has long routines mocking earth day and global warming. A long routine cruelly talking about fat people like they're animals. He is not a particularly good person. He's smart & funny.

        George Carlin hasn't cracked a joke against environmentalists in over ten years now, you know... not a single one.

        Worth noting that they are probably discussing Andrew Dice Clay

        It's like those who never grew out of Ayn Rand after leaving their teens.
