George Carlin Questions "Received Reality" Of 9/11 Story
Grammy award winning comedian, actor says new investigation would be whitewash
Paul Joseph Watson Prison Planet Monday, October 29, 2007
Grammy-winning American stand-up comedian, actor, and author George Carlin spoke of his doubts about the official 9/11 story during a recent appearance at Borders bookstore in New York City, just a few blocks away from ground zero.
Asked what he thought of the 9/11 truth movement and how Bill Maher's show was interrupted by truthers last week, Carlin responded, "I always question the received reality."
"The consensus reality is often intentionally misleading," he added.
Carlin was described by Comedy Central as the second greatest stand-up comedian of all time behind Richard Prior and is famous for his scathing black humor directed at American culture and the political climate.
During a recent appearance on Keith Olbermann's MSNBC show, Carlin said that America was "finished" because "no one questions things anymore" and that the population had been bought off by distractions, toys and gizmos.
Watch a stand-up routine where Carlin slams the education system and talks about the true power system that controls America.

George Carlin used to be funny. Then his wife died, and he became bitter, and his jokes became stale.
Of all the issues (either underlying or superfluous) that could be raised here and you're only able to comment about the quality of his jokes? :(

I've always been a Carlin fan. He's pretty much the best living comedian I can think of.

The point that you and all of your nonthinking friends need to get is that he actually uses his mental faculties for something else other than his job.
He employs critical thinking skills and you could obviously learn something from him ;)

So what- every time tom, dick or harry mentions 911 it deserves its own thread? There are already a bazillion 911 threads, why can't it go in one of those?

Because those threads suck, like most massive PDD threads tend to at some point.

Jon Stewart (on CNN's Crossfire, circa 2004) makes mention of the media's "partisan hacks"
Can I close the massive threads then and keep the discussion here? PKC does have a point - there are about 911 threads about 9/11 :D
And merging so many massive threads would probably cause the server to collapse, as a giant black hole located in Toronto would swallow all of us into its deep and dark... erm... holeness :p
