I'm not reading into it literally, that's the point. On the surface, Carlin "tells it like it is." He says things that the people agree with.

You know what? Just look at the praise for Carlin. You'll see things like "genius" and "prophet" or "brilliant insight."

Then look at people criticizing him like me. Suddenly people defend his character by pointing out he's just a comedian, it's just jokes, judge him as a comedian, it's not serious, etc.

He's the Trump of his domain.
