At least an 8. George Carlin was an edgy old hippy who was at least likeable, but idiots who think he was a genius are pseudo intellectual half wits.
E.g Amazing Banana.

I like how people bring his name from the grave and say "We need Carlin to teach these SJW types about the words you cant say on tv!" and generally strawman him to try and prove a point that we should be able to call people fags because its just words.

They have zero power until you give it too them.

Carlin wasn't right wing, though. He didn't care about people's feefees getting hurt by mean words but he wasn't for the harmful intent behind them.
On topic: I'd say about a five.
Re: I Watch George Carlin and Tout Myself as an Intellectual
On a scale of 1 to 10, 1 being low and 10 being high (of course), how annoying am I?
A 4 because the fffffffffffucks who do the same thing with Bill Hicks are much, much worse.
I don't want to say Carlin would have voted for Trump, but he definitely would not be on the giant pile of cunts going REEEEEEEE at everything he does. He would definitely lean more anti-SJW than anything else.

They would've annoyed him real bad, yeah. In the last election I guess he wouldn't have voted at all.
Forgot about Bill Hicks. Yeah, those fags are much worse, especially since Hicks wasn't even funny to start with.

I'm going to be a contrarian and say that Carlin would probably be an SJW if he existed today.
He was an old hippie who did most of his edgelord shit that people remember during the Bush administration, aka when conservatives were in power. Carlin wasn't about to go 100% against what every other liberal was saying. He'd have become another SJW comedian. Look at old Louis CK versus new.
End of the day, I think Carlin's ideology would have influenced his views more than his fans would like to admit. It's easy to shit on political correctness when one of the major forces in favor of political correctness is on the right wing (conservative christfags.)
