For righties to get behind George Carlin, they have to forget that Carlin was a liberal even if he did score points against the woke left with rants like the one below:
Righties are more apt to quote lefties when the lefties make rightie points (e.g., quoting Bill Maher or Bill Burr or Ana Kasparian when it's convenient which, yes, I've done, too) than vice versa, but that often results in a kind of ideological Stockholm Syndrome. Maybe the idea is to virtuously avoid the genetic fallacy to show how open minded one is, but when leftie-quoting becomes a pattern of behavior, something pernicious may be at play.

All comments are subject to approval before they are published, so they will not appear immediately. Comments should be civil, relevant, and substantive. Anonymous comments are not allowed and will be unceremoniously deleted. For more on my comments policy, please see this entry on my other blog.
AND A NEW RULE (per this post): comments critical of Trump's lying must include criticism of Biden's or Kamala's or some prominent leftie's lying on a one-for-one basis! Failure to be balanced means your comment will not be published.
