"George Carlin Johnny Carson The Tonight Show
Original Airdate: May 13th, 1992"
From Johnny Carson
At risk of seriously, offending the far-left, especially the WOKE Left to the point that even Seattle would run out of coffee, with all the caffeine and sugar that they would need to get though this: (and that's only assuming any of them ever read this) just imagine George Carlin doing standup comedy today.
Forget about Bill Maher, George would be the WOKE Left's right-wing boogeyman. 10-12 years ago, Bill Maher was considered a "Progressive" champion because of his soft embraces of socialism and his comedic attacks on the Tea Party in America. And then he expands his attacks against right-wing, religious fundamentalism to not just right-wing, fundamentalist Protestants, but Islamists and Islamism as well.
Go up to 2014 and now according to the far-left, Bill Maher was no longer a "Progressive" champion and fighter for "real progressive change" in America. He was an Islamaphobe who hated Muslims and Islam,. Hollywood actor/political activist Ben Affleck (key word with Ben Affleck being actor) called Bill Maher a racist, because of his critiques of Islamism. Affleck apparently unaware that Islam is not actually a race. It's just a religion and to a certain extent a culture.
I believe that's how George Carlin would be viewed by the militant WOKE Left today, as another Bill Maher. They liked George because he made fun of rich people and people he and they view as stupid Americans. Those folks are basically white-collar, suburban, middle class, yuppies, (mostly of European background) that he and the WOKE Left simply referred to simply as "White people". As well as blue-collar Americans, with the same racial and to a certain extent ethnic backgrounds, but with less education and financial security.
But Carlin for me and everyone else who is a champion of free speech and personal freedom in America, (which is basically anyone who is to the right of Che Guevara and his followers) he's a champion of American, liberal democratic values. He made fun of people and things simply because he thought they deserved to be made fun of. He didn't check their ethnic or racial backgrounds and worry about making fun of men or women. Or poll college campuses and coffee houses to see if his material would be acceptable or not.
George Carlin simply live and experienced American life and told people what he thought about life and the people he saw in it, in a very humorous way. And I think that's why he so well-respected by just about every comedian in America. Why so many comedians look up to him today. At least all the comedians who believe in free speech and personal freedom, who are more than willing to take chances with their comedy, because they're individualists.
