Writes Charles Burris: “The greatest philosopher of our time has died.
“Now observe the contrast of how the mainstream media will cover this event with their unceasing marathon of coverage of the death of Tim Russert.
“Notice how the MSM celebrated and lauded one of its own who was a servant to the powers-that-be, a soothing and compliant tool who help spread disinformation and mendacious lies for the state and its policies of war, mass murder, heinous torture, repression of civil liberties, and destruction of the rule of law.
“Contrast that coverage with the meager reporting of the death of the brilliant and courageous Carlin who always spoke truth to power, and exposed the hypocrisy, vacuousness, and intellectual bankruptcy of the mass man culture fostered by the overlords who rule our corporate welfare-warfare regime.
“I was privileged to see two live performances of this raucous cantankerous oracle of wisdom and insight.
“I laughed so much that my sides ached.
“But my mind was opened to joyous illumination and wonderment.
“Something great has gone out of our world.”
