Out of respect for George Carlin I removed such a hateful comment. I love freedom of speech, but I understand that there are many limits to it. The UK doesn't allow Muslim clerics to preach hate against non-Muslims anymore than it allows Christians to do the same. There are some thing you really cannot say. Sam,

"I’ve deleted the comment out of respect but I’m sure you can guess what it contained." "He was a vicious advocate of freedom of speech," How do you explain this?

“I’ve deleted the comment out of respect but I’m sure you can guess what it contained.”

“He was a vicious advocate of freedom of speech,”

I'll miss you and your twisted, but thoughtful humor, as I'm sure many others will too. I mean, not that he would particularly appreciate my comment, but still! Rest in peace, man.

Typo: viscous vicious. Not sure it's the right word anyway. 2. Better than thinking - I've been checking out YouTube videos of him. 3. Not sure of your blog, so I will put it this way: I think he'd've preferred a vulgar and scatological encomium over silence, any day :) 1. Typo: viscous vicious. Not sure it’s the right word anyway.
