George Carlin The Best 3 Minutes of His Career

[Rebellious Republican]

Given all the bad news, in fighting and outright disrespect that I have seen lately. I was looking for some good humor to post. I ran across this youtube vid. This man was way ahead of his time, RIP George.

[Rebellious Republican]

4. Absofuckinlutely!

[phantom power]

[Rebellious Republican]

[avaistheone1]

[Go Vols]

28. Just emailed

to 17 people.Will prolly piss 6 of them off due to truth.

[Rebellious Republican]

80. The truth can sometimes be painful.....

[reformist2]

7. That transcends comedy - it's truly great, historic oratory.

[navarth]

68. most definitely. nt

[Demo_Chris]

8. A lifetime of comedy was eclipsed by this one rilliant speech. nt

[Rebellious Republican]

13. This will be his legacy, and our memory.

[Isoldeblue]

9. Truer words were never spoken!

[Rebellious Republican]

14. A voice lost for the common person.

[Isoldeblue]

30. Well said

I still remember when I first saw him. I was in awe from the very first moment.
I finally heard someone speak the way I thought and saw the world.

[Rebellious Republican]

34. Will Pitt, Don Redwood, kentuck and many others are much better at expressing themselves....

through written word than I am. Thats why I express myself with videos such as this, he speaks from the heart and of the same mind as me.
I am just a lower educated son of the south.

[Supersedeas]

90. True that.

[Rebellious Republican]

91. Carry the torch, Supersedeas, my friend.

[colsohlibgal]

10. Dead On And RIP George

Depressing as Hell isn't it.

There are just too many people who take what is shoveled to them, no questions asked. More interested in "American Idol" that any kind of critical thought.

It's driven me nuts about all kinds of things. Too many living zombie like lives, too many angry, like tea party types, for the wrong reasons.

[Rebellious Republican]

11. Yes and I was searching for something to make us all feel better, just made me feel....

the true gravity of what has happened.

[lpbk2713]

12. Bookmarked, thanks.

[Rebellious Republican]

15. Your welcome! Use it judiciously and often.

[WillyT]

16. HUGE K & R !!! - Thank You !!!

[Rebellious Republican]

36. Thanks for the props, very expressive props!

[Sand Wind]

17. Lolllll, thanks !

[Rebellious Republican]

37. Your welcome SW, stick around you may learn that people are people....

the world over. Its the wealthy 1% that make the decisions about the other poor 99% of the rest of us.

[Blue Idaho]

18. Where the hell are the truth tellers now?

This guy was a genius who knew the only way we could understand the truth was to dress it up like stand-up comedy. God damn it George we miss you and we need you now more than ever. So where are today's truth tellers? Where are the people we can trust because we know their agenda is not a political agenda, not a corporate agenda, but a human agenda? Where are the people that can make us laugh until we cry because we finally hear the truth? The truth that the only way forward for most of us is to knock the rich bastards down a peg or two.

Give 'em hell George we're still listening.

[Rebellious Republican]

20. His legacy will live on through us, his message must be heard and repeated often.

[Blue Idaho]

22. Absolutely

And lets hope someone has the courage to follow in his footsteps.

[Rebellious Republican]

23. I am, and will, I am tired of the BS. Hit the streets, I have.

[Blue Idaho]

66. See you out there... nt.

[Rebellious Republican]

85. Great reply!!!!

[Link Speed]

19. Thank you. I grew up in a family

who are the people he was referring to.

When George says, "They don't give a fuck about you", I only wish there was a term denoting 'fuck to the 340 millionth degree'.

[Rebellious Republican]

21. We must be cousins!

[reformist2]

24. This soliloquy should be memorized, recited as much as Hamlet's "to be or not to be"

[Rebellious Republican]

26. I appreciate the ten dollar words, I am a simple man and will google that word!

[reformist2]

31. You made me look it up, and I see now that I kind of used the word incorrectly! :p

Technically what Carlin gave was a monologue, not a soliloquy.

[Rebellious Republican]

32. Thanks reformist2, the sentiment was understood.

RR

[Rebellious Republican]

25. Food for thought from an old southern hillbilly.....

[madfloridian]

29. Thanks, RR. Carlin was a truthteller.

Not many of those around anymore.

[Rebellious Republican]

33. I agree, I think there are many on the way.

I have had disscusions with some.AM I NOT RIGHT socialist_n_TN!

[socialist_n_TN]

45. Hey RR. I calls 'em likes I sees 'em.........

You can always rely on me for the "Classic Red" perspective. Thanks for the link. Carlin was always one of my favs.

[Rebellious Republican]

47. I know that my friend, you need to post some of your music here, please.

[Rebellious Republican]

35. Wow, I am on the trending now page.

[truebrit71]

38. I think it's even more profound than that...

I think this particular riff is one of the single most on-point explanations of the way things REALLY are in this country. I wish there was a way to broadcast this on every tv channel every time there is an election...then, and only then might "change" actually occur..but of course, the owners would never allow that...

[niyad]

40. well, this, and eddie murphy's movie "the distinguished gentleman"

[Rebellious Republican]

86. That was an excellent movie and spot on!!!

[Rebellious Republican]

44. Well there is a way. People like us use social media among our friends and contacts...

and post this so that it goes viral!

[niyad]

39. k + a gazillion. george was absolutely fearless in speaking truth to power, in ways that everybody

could understand.

yes, a three-minute lesson on just how f***** our world is.

[Rebellious Republican]

42. I will say if you won't "Fucked Up"

[Rebellious Republican]

41. To the NSA, thank you for interrupting my internet connection through out this Discussion.

It seems when I post a thread here that might seem subversive, I am unable to connect. I get cut off from DU, Google or whatever. So scrub my life and you will find that I am an honorably decorated discharged disabled american veteran. Hi agent Mike good to see you are still lurking. This has happened more than once, twice or thrice. Just tonight alone.

[questionseverything]

73. i have noticed that happens

to me quite often too....and when i tried to rec...it did not take

[Rebellious Republican]

43. Fourth time on one thread alone, is it just me?

This webpage is not available, has come up so often tonight!

[1ProudAtheist]

46. This IS The Very BEST Of George Carlin...........

EVER..............

But the original ain't bad.........

[Rebellious Republican]

48. Bwaahhaaa, thank you for that post!!! Spot on 1ProudAtheist!

Thanks for the serious yet uplifting post. Mine was so depressing!

[Rebellious Republican]

49. Anyone else having this problem here tonight?

Fifth time, agent mike you really are out doing your self tonight!

Unable to connect to the Internet

[Iwillnevergiveup]

50. Huge K&R

George Carlin - fantastic observer of humanity and unabashed patriot. Thanks for posting.

[Rebellious Republican]

53. Very well said!

[NuclearDem]

51. Words can't express how right this man was.

[Rebellious Republican]

54. I hear ya, take it to the streets, post this video wherever you can...

[Martin Eden]

52. Alaways worth another viewing, thanks! n/t

[Rebellious Republican]

55. Pass it on, lets get viral.

[RKP5637]

56. My hero! Damn, he was smart and right on track. n/t

[Rebellious Republican]

57. Mine as well, such a loss to humanity!

[Rebellious Republican]

58. Question, maybe I am wrong. Has anyone else experienced this here?

I have been cut off at least five times from posting tonight. I was on the trending banner, I have had many replies and K&Rs. Yet my post which has had more views, recs and posts, than many no longer appears on the home page. Just curious if anyone can explain the irregularities and inconsistencies here at DU.

[sendero]

59. If you want to hear the truth...

... you can forget "journalists" and other "fourth estate" nonsense, you can forget your preacher or priest you can forget your professor for the most part.

No, in America if you want to hear the truth, you'll have to get it from a "comedian", like George Carlin, or Bill Hicks or maybe Lenny Bruce.

RIP all of them.

[Rebellious Republican]

61. RIP to all of them, lets not forget.....

Jon Stewart, Stephen Colbert, and Tina Fey.

[TDale313]

60. So incredible, and so true.

Carlin was so brilliant. Get chills every time I see this clip.

[Rebellious Republican]

62. It was off the hook, he owned his audience. He stopped doing comedy and cited...

social comentary. He owned them!

[Initech]

81. The No Homers Club

[Rebellious Republican]

and I K&R it everytime I see it. And I watch it again. He's 100% correct.

[Rebellious Republican]

78. Thanks TBF, lets make it go viral together.

[bullwinkle428]

72. K&R. I knew what you were referring to before even clicking on it!

[Rebellious Republican]

79. Great minds think a like.

[Bay Boy]

82. Well George old boy, as bad as you say it is/was

I'm still enjoying the heck out of my life. I've got a great family, I'm healthy, I have a nice house, a nice enough car, I get to travel, and do the things I want to do. What am I missing out on?

[Rebellious Republican]

84. Glad there are some left that have all their material possessions in tack....

[Bay Boy]

88. That wa a different version

and long too.

[Rebellious Republican]

89. Yes it was, hope you enjoyed it.

Thats why I posted it, but it is their song, they can do anything they want with it. It was the original version.

here is the commercially accepted version.

[niyad]

92. wow, how nice for you. do you give even a second of thought to the millions of unemployed, sick,

no medical insurance, no health care--the millions who have lost their homes to the scum banksters? just for a start here, do you even consider the single mom working two and three minimum wage jobs, barely keeping a roof over her and her kids, and just barely enough food on the table.

unless, of course, you simply forgot the sarcasm icon??

[socialist_n_TN]

93. I've got mine..........

fuck the rest of you. That's the Reagan attitude. Until they take yours away from you. Then you become a raging socialist.

[wildbilln864]

94. k & r again! n/t
