Let George Carlin Respond to Rush Limbaugh

Rush Limbaugh actually attributed Robin Williams' suicide to his liberalism:
"He had everything, everything that you would think would make you happy. But it didn’t. Now, what’s the left’s worldview in general? What is it? If you had to attach not a philosophy but an attitude to a leftist’s worldview, it’s one of pessimism and darkness, sadness. They’re never happy are they? They’re always angry about something. Not matter what they get, they’re always angry."

This vile nonsense doesn't deserve a reasoned answer about sadness and anger and clinical depression being totally different things; I feel better letting another gifted comedian who died too young reply to the stogie-sucking angry fat man hiding behind the radio microphone:
Sometimes a cigar isn't just a cigar.

Although George could be talking about some other "fat arrogant overpaid overfed overprivileged overindulged white-collar businesscriminal asshole" smoking a cigar in the following video, but it's hard not to picture Rush Limbaugh when you listen to this:

Once again, George Carlin sums up everything, in this case the difference between a Romney and a Santorum (and the bullshit that goes by the name of religion)

George Carlin sums up the battle between Mitt Romney and Rick Santorum in the first sentence of this 10-minute video, but watch the whole thing.
"In the bullshit department, the businessman can't hold a candle to a clergyman..."

George Carlin explained the 1% to the 99% in 3'15" long before any American cities were Occupied.

"...You have no choice. You have owners. They own you...."
"... The table is tilted folks. The game is rigged. And nobody seems to notice. Nobody seems to care ..."

"...because the owners of this country know the truth. It's called the American Dream because you have to be asleep to believe it." 
 Please watch the whole 3'15" of this video, because so much of George Carlin's linguistic beauty comes from the timing and cadences, but this speech would get a standing ovation at any Occupy gathering taking place across America tonight. It's too bad George isn't among us to enjoy this moment when the 99% are recognizing their voices. They would have recognized his.
