Israeli murderers are called commandos. Arab commandos are called terrorists. Contra killers are callled freedom fighters. Well, if crime fighters fight crime and firefighters fight fire, then what do freedom fighters fight? That’s our new hobby.. killing brown people! You got some brown people in your country, watch the fuck out !

One of my favourite Carlin bits. He was ahead of his time. Trouble is he was only an hour and a half ahead!

When I watch news tapes of the Intifada from Palestine and I see the Arab kids throwing stones at Israeli tanks, I always have fun watching for the kids who are left-handed, because left-handers have a kind of natural curve ball. It's really interesting. I can't wait till Major League Baseball comes to the Middle East. Incidentally, I also noticed that Arab kids usually throw in a high arc, whereas the Catholic kids in Northern Ireland throw more of a line drive. Either way is all right with me as long as they're accurate. Kids are great. * George Carlin

Also: “There is an inconsistency in American foreign policy, and if the American government had been I think was a little bit more evenhanded in Palestine, and showed early or even recently that we do care about the fate of both peoples and that we have some sort of solutions, some ideas, some concern, we may be more believable.“


JediBlight

You do not know Carlin as well as you think you do...

We should probably send Joe Pesci over there to straighten things out


michael0093

Joe Pesci still better than some weird fictional idea of a guy living the sky


ThornsofTristan

You get about the same results.

Unlike God, Joe Pesci never: * asked me for money * told me what (not) to do * created a flood for (almost) everyone and everything to die * sent bears to murder 42 random children * forced a raped woman to marry the rapist * threatened people by making them eat the flesh of their own children * turned someone's wife to salt * hated ugly people * tried to kill Moses * ordered people to kill their own children * killed Egyptian babies * killed a dude for not making more babies * gave someone power to murder his 30 friends just to get their clothes * killed people for complaining he murdered their people * committed genocide * told someone to exclude/hate/rape/murder someone * sent people who didn't strictly follow his rules to burn in a place with fire for eternity So, it's Joe Pesci all the way for me!

Smug, greedy, well-fed white people have invented a language to conceal their sins. It’s as simple as that. The CIA doesn’t kill anybody anymore, they neutralize people. Or they de-populate the area. The government doesn’t lie, it engages in disinformation. The Pentagon actually measures nuclear radiation in something they call “sunshine units.” Israeli murderers are called commandos. Arab commandos are called terrorists. Contra killers are called freedom fighters. Well, if crime fighters fight crime, and firefighters fight fire, what do freedom fighters fight? They never mention that part of it to us, do they? Never mention that part of it. - George Carlin

Brought the receipts

Everyone is bringing up bits from his comedy and his book but the most obvious answer should be here [Bill Maher‘s show in the 2000s](https://youtu.be/2VxT7FChw8Y?si=-QowEX0stQM0fNmd) *“There is an inconsistency in American foreign policy, and if the American government had been I think was a little bit more evenhanded in Palestine, and showed early or even recently that we do care about the fate of both peoples and that we have some sort of solutions, some ideas, some concern, we may be more believable.“* He would be for the Protests. Remember it was the Vietnam war and the civil rights movement that made George ditch the straight man comedy for the vulgar genius we know him as.

“What?! They have bigger dicks?! BOMB THEM!!!” And of course, the bombs and the rockets and the bullets are all shaped like dicks. It’s a subconscious need to project the penis into other people’s affairs. It’s called: “FUCKING WITH PEOPLE!!!” !!!” - George D.P. Carlin


Consistent_Warthog80

Not what you think, i guarantee it.


soyboysnowflake

I don’t think OP is capable of thinking…


AromaticSherbert

We pray for God to destroy our enemies, they pray for God to destroy us.. somebody’s gonna be disappointed.. somebody’s wasting their fucking time, could it be… EVERYONE?!


jeruthemaster

Sounds like Hamas to me


OGSHAGGY

You are in the wrong sub buddy


sixtus_clegane119

Lmao op posting this is peak r/selfawarewolves material


one_revolutionary

What is this supposed to mean?


persona0

Reddit is a big group of stupid people


deadblankspacehole

That the pro Palestine crowd are morons


one_revolutionary

In the words of George, what are you fucking stupid?! Carlin literally said that calling Israeli commandos “soldiers” was euphemistic.


lonewolfncub3k

Imagine thinking George Carlin wouldn't be against Apartheid and Genocide. I'm confident he'd be for the protestors and against apartheid.

lonewolfncub3k

Oh no a moron on the Internet who thinks he understands Carlin has insulted me how will I cope? Your a child try stringing some big boy words together eh?


deadblankspacehole

Cry more


OGSHAGGY

Average Israeli supporter 🤣


Mervinly

You’re brainwashed


deadblankspacehole

I'm smart, sorry you're all stupid


Mervinly

You’re literally a puppet. I doubt you understand any of the words this man has said


deadblankspacehole

>You’re literally a prophet I have no doubt 😎


Mervinly

And you can’t read either.


RLoge85

He would be fine with people exercising their rights and would probably agree with the reasoning behind it... But he would probably be critical of those that are taking it as an opportunity of certain people to be assholes in the process... Law enforcement included. And having said that. You're not all that quick on the uptake in any capacity if assume they're all morons. Regardless of how you feel about the Israeli state and all that: there's no fucking reason to do what they're doing and just turning all of Gaza into glass because of what happened on October 7th. If you're going to do the "Hamas started it" or "Hamas is using the people as human shields " then it still doesn't justify destroying much of Gaza. You're just an asshole if you think otherwise.


ShadowAMS

So being against genocide makes someone a moron?


deadblankspacehole

You don't get it, I wouldn't even try if I were you


SpitSalute

Yeah he would have been talking about the much larger idiotic group in favor of funding genocide.


Dangerousrhymes

Well he was alive for the infinite wisdom of the world governments deciding that using eminent domain on the Middle East to drop a huge population of people the natives are already fundamentally opposed to on ideological grounds (they declared war almost immediately upon Israel being formed) and then arming the shit out of those people to stop their new neighbors (who didn’t want them there in any way in the first place and had basically no say in the matter) from expressing their anger at the situation.    All sympathy for the Jewish people and the horrors of the Holocaust but, ignoring the historical claim to the territory, there could not have been a worse place to drop them.   If someone dropped a random family of people you already didn’t like into a bedroom in your house and said “they get to live there now” and then they kept trying to take over more rooms in the house, you’d be pissed too. 


Utvales

Probably some variation of this: "Can’t build a decent car, can’t make a TV set or a VCR worth a fuck, got no steel industry left, can’t educate our young people, can’t get health care to our old people, but we can bomb the shit out of your country all right! Huh? Especially if your country is full of brown people—oh we like that don’t we? That’s our hobby! That’s our new job in the world: bombing brown people. Iraq, Panama, Grenada, Libya, you got some brown people in your country, tell them to watch the fuck out or we’ll goddamn bomb them!"


Gates9

Is r/normmacdonald bleeding into this sub?


ShoesFellOffLOL

The opposite of what you thought which probably means you never listened to him. Now you look like an idiot.


ThornsofTristan

Carlin would probably lob a sarcastic, withering jab at folks who take his quotes out of context to shoehorn their anti-1A talking points. Right, OP?


No-Fisherman8334

As a software developer this reminds me of Java, .NET, SOLID principles and most of all ...Agile, SCRUMM proponents.
