Anything can be compared, there’s no law against it as far as I know.

Carlin and Buchanan are both misanthropes. Carlin used comedy to express himself – he provided insight and made us laugh.

Buchanan uses politics to express himself – he lies a lot and he makes us all miserable.

Now there’s something I haven’t seen before: a side-by-side comparison of George Carlin and Pat Buchanan.

What were you thinking?

Extreme leftism is such a misanthropic, conspiracy-oriented ideology, it’s easy to confuse it with old fashioned hatred of humanity.

Most of the time, Pat Buchanan sounds like a left-extremist, but he’s just another misanthrope. And he doesn’t even try to be funny (although if he had one tiny bit of self-awareness, he could be)

Mary, it’s true — he didn’t like hippies, or liberals. But he was an angry man and absolutely spouted the conspiratorial, leftist line. I happen to just have heard an extended excerpt of his routine on Sunday… oddly enough.

Of course, he was a total misanthrope, but he seemed to hate everyone.. that was his job, and he was very professional about it.

Are we thinking of the same George Carlin? He did a parody of drug addled leftists called the Hippy Dippy Weatherman. He did a whole routine specifically to annoy feminists. And he thought environmentalism was full of it. Now he's dead just like we'll all be, but his words and his routines will live on..

Fair comment. Yet, I think you do him a slight disservice. Carlin suffered, as all performance artists do from talk show over-exposure. From the notion that their off the cuff opinions are noteworthy.

When he was on stage doing material he’d rehearsed he was brilliant. He brought the funny for forty years.

Who else has done that?
