I have watched it, the part I quoted is clearly sarcasm.
Think of the generation he came from. Look at his history in comedy, he talks about how he found his audience....
To be fair, he IS a comedian and he's said A LOT of stupid stuff, especially after he gained a wide following and "gained license" to test the waters.
I don't subscribe to the CNN style "look at this obscure 30 second clip we found..." style of character assassination.
The very fact Carlin is still such a topic of conversation and garners such divisive vitriol from those who would rather he just go away... That's enough for me to still enjoy watching him.
He's not a Prophet. You don't have to take everything so seriously.
