Carlin is a lot like the book 1984, in that every point of view on the political spectrum thinks it’s about/for them… leftists love him because he hated religion and republicans, right wingers love him because he hated political correctness and hippies, and both sides just ignore all the shit he said they don’t agree with…

Got a little dark towards the end. Not wrong per se, just. Not lighthearted.
