    —-

    After all the blaspheming he did (like you did with your comment)???

    Not a chance.

  49. finesseyoswagger

    the best Thomas The Tank engine narrator and a hella funny *****…y even compare his talents? all of the above including George were smart, witty and loads of entertainment!

    Rest In Peace

    I will miss his HBO specials. In later years his comedy was really political. He spoke the truth about America and not some made up fairy tale the right wing would like you to believe. In his last special he spoke about how America *****asinated every leader that wanted peace. We shared the same views on religion. George was very much against organized religion. He was actually more against the leaders than the religion. He reminded his audience that more people have been killed in the name of God than any other purpose. George will truly be missed.

  51. seemee

    He spoke da truth. RIP

  52. happy to be alive

    I saw him every year almost twice a year when he was in Atlantic City. It’s been a nice 10 years… Rest in peace. Rest in peace!

  53. reggie

    George.. Man we love you brotha may you rest in peace always.. I know you and Richard Pryor are in heaven making God laugh his ***** off!

    *****************************************************

    George Carlin was an atheist but a funny comedian However, it was highly known he was a proud . He criticized anyone believing in God and often joked about religions. He was funny but I doubt he’s with God.

  54. UPDOWN

    George was brilliant,his insight on life was vast and amazing, he could bring you full circle on whatever topic he spoke about.

    There won’t be another like you George the Great, you were not afraid to tell racist white folks that they were racist, I have to respect you for that 4 life!


  55. RIP George, @reggie I bet he believe’s in God now

  56. glok9n is an IDIOT

    glok9n? What a *****! You are one racist son of a *****! YOU would be good riddance!

  57. LOVE YA!

    ♥ Always George, I feel like I know the dude and I never met him, I saw all of his HBO specials. ♥

    ♥ He was one of a kind! ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥

    ☼ Bask in the eternal sunshine, resting finally in peace.
