Remembering the Rantmaster

George was the first person to die since I started videos I felt I actually cared enough to do a video about.
Some great quotes from him:
"I would never want to be a member of a group whose symbol was a man nailed to two pieces of wood."

"Here's another question I have. How come when it's us, it's an abortion, and when it's a chicken, it's an omelette? Are we so much better than chickens all of a sudden? When did this happen, that we passed chickens in goodness. Name 6 ways we're better than chickens. See, nobody can do it! You know why? 'Cause chickens are decent people. You don't see chickens hanging around in drug gangs, do you? No, you don't see a chicken strapping some guy into a chair and hooking up his nuts to a car battery, do you? When's the last chicken you heard about come home from work and beat the shit out of his hen, huh? Doesn't happen, 'cause chickens are decent people."

"When fascism comes to America, it will not be in brown and black shirts. It will not be with jack-boots. It will be Nike sneakers and Smiley shirts...Germany lost the Second World War. Fascism won it. Believe me, my friend."

"Whoever coined the term "Let the Buyer Beware" was probably bleeding from the asshole."

"Religion has actually conviced people that there's an invisible man. Living in the sky. Who watches everything you do every minute of every day of your life. And he has a list of ten things he does not want you to do. And if you do any, any, of these ten things, he has a special place full of fire and smoke and ash and torture where he will send you to suffer and burn and scream and cry forever and ever until the end of time. ... But he loves you. He loves you...and he needs money!"

"Here's a bumper sticker I'd like to see: "We are the proud parents of a child whose self esteem is sufficient that he doesnt need us promoting his minor scholastic achievements on the back of our car.""

"Thou shalt not kill. Murder. The fifth commandment. But if you think about it...if you think about it, religion has never really had a problem with murder. Not really. No, more people have been killed in the name of God than for any other reason. All you have to do...all you have to do is look at slavery, the Middle East, the Crusades, the Inquisition, the Holocaust, and the World Trade Center, and you'll see how seriously the religious folks take "Thou Shalt Not Kill." The more devout they are...the more devout they are, the more they see murder as negotiable...it's negotiable. It depends, you know? It depends, it depends on who's doing the killing, and who's getting killed."

"You can't fight City Hall, but you can goddamn sure blow it up."

"Once you leave the womb, conservatives don't care about you until you reach military age. Then you're just what they're looking for. Conservatives want live babies so they can raise them to be dead soldiers."

"I have as much authority as the Pope. I just don't have as many people who believe it."

"I'm completely in favor of the separation of Church and State. My idea is that these two institutions screw us up enough on their own, so both of them together is certain death."

"Do you believe in God? No. Boom! Dead. Do you believe in God? Yes. Do you believe in MY God? No. Boom! Dead. My God has a bigger dick than your God!"

"You know what's interesting about assassination? Well, not only does it change those popularity polls in a big fucking hurry, but it's also interesting to notice who it is we assassinate. Ya ever notice who it is, got to think who it is we kill? It's always people who've told us to live together in harmony and try to love one another. Jesus, Gandhi, Lincoln, John Kennedy, Bobby Kennedy, Martin Luther King, Medgar Evers, Malcolm X, John Lennon - they all said, "Try to live together peacefully." BAM! Right in the fuckin' head! Apparently we're not ready for that. Yeah, that's difficult behavior for us. We're too busy thinking around, sitting around trying to think up ways to kill each other."

Definitely the greatest comedian of all time.

You're right, he always pushed the barrier, and pushed people while still being the funniest comic.

Also, up the irons!

Thanks for the post, I usually dont bother watching alot of personal vids but I enjoyed watching this.

It's funny, but it took me a while to realise we're incredibly similar. I'm sitting here with a long hair, listening to Complaints and Grievances in a Slayer t-shirt.

Also, I just cant decide which one was (or COULD'VE BEEN - Hicks was taken too young, theres no telling what he couldve achieved) better - Carlin or Hicks. They both really rocked the boat.
