In other words, he attacked the cows that were sacred to you.
Any comedians on par and similar to George Carlin and Bill Hicks?

I've only ever watched him on youtube. He was never popular here.
The later stuff, he's like that announcer played by Peter Finch in the movie Network.

Not so much on that clip quoted, but he's very Hicks here:

I watched George Carlin for the first time last night after reading this thread - can't believe I'd never heard of him before - most excellent stuff and definitely up there with Bill Hicks

The trouble with Carlin is that he has become quite right wing over the last few years.

I think that is a bit harsh. He's a very pedantic amature social linguists and doesn't like complex politically correct liberal terminolgy.

If you go on video.google.com, enter 'george carlin' and afterwards select videos over 20 minutes in length you'll find all his HBO shows since 1977.
His 1977 show was a bit tame as he was being done by the FCC for previously swearing his tits off.
His shows "Life is worth losing" and "You're all diseased" are my favourites.
IMO his politics are left libertarian and often he's a comedy nihlist.

Being against wanky versions of liberalism is right wing? This is going to be news to many people on these boardsnino_savatte said:

It doesn't. He's very interested in language and it's evolution and is very critical at some aspects of it. Take for instance his piece on term Shell Shock and how it evolved to Battle Fatigue and finally PTSD and his thoughts on the reprecussions of this change.

Eh? What's a "wanky version of liberalism"? You understand how the word "liberal" has become a pejorative applied to anyone who doesn't embrace the 'individualism' of capitalism or questions the patriarchy.
That's a called a backlash btw.

Sorry but I don't agree. He comes across a little right wing to me.
You never answered my question: have you ever heard Toledo Windowbox or Occupation: Foole?

You can find both albums on Amazon. They're some of Carlin's best imo. Both were released in the 70's...oops.

He loathes the republicans and he thinks the democrats are the lesser of the evils but still cunts.

...and he hates christians, anti-abortionists and red necks.
He also states that the US is full of "dumb motherfuckers".
