This was the early 70's and you couldn't say them on TV. Not sure why they arrested him, he wasn't performing on the TV.

Did you see the HBO documentary? Its very good, but the end of the second half they cut and edited his comments into a leftist political message. The made it seem as if he was an advocate for censorship and total government control.

Yeah sure, he called for the elimination of all golf courses to be transformed into housing for the homeless. Totally a righty position lmao
Edit: also Carlin, in reference to Bush Jr "I have an addendum to that. The real looting in this country takes place in the transfer of the wealth from the poor to the rich... The rich have been made richer under this criminal, fascist president and his government."
Thanks for the laugh at least!

bullshit. See the comment below or any interview with his daughter and they bring this up, he constantly advocated for wealth distribution, highly critical of religion, pro gun control, pro gay rights. Good try though.

Even if that was true (it's not), my point is that there never was a "better America" It was always the same, in some cases worse even. MAGA doesn't make sense, it's a chase for something that does not exist.

Television in the ‘70s was laughably prude by today’s standards. The bathroom shown on The Brady Bunch didn’t have a toilet because it was seen as offensive to show one on TV.

The real comedy
>Tom Schneider, then a young assistant district attorney, had been at Carlin's show. In the office the next day, Schneider says in the documentary, Carlin was brought in, accused of disturbing the peace.
Schneider's boss, who knew he'd been at the show, asked him if Carlin had disturbed the peace; Schneider told him Carlin received a standing ovation.
The charges were dismissed in December 1972

Sure, but NWA was arrest over three words. Group of rappers arrested over three words, while it took seven words to get a white comedian arrested. Exchange rate varies.
400asa t1_j0t4qww wrote
The words being "fuck the police".
I'm French so it feels somewhat okay to get at least arrested for that, cause it's illegal to insult a government employee. Insulting people at all can cause prejudice legally.Telling someone to kts on social media can get you up to 3yrs in jail, 5 if it's a kid.
But in the USA freedom of speech is a bit more "free" isn't it ? On the paper ?
So how do they work around that, civil court ?
(light googling)
Nvm, the cops arrested NWA with some bullshit maneuver, not because of the lyrics LMAO.
