Take a few deep breaths, back the fuck up and re-group, Karen. Before he got old and cranky he was a fine stand-up comedian, and he was consistently a free speech advocate/absolutist, so I am not willing to hate him for his descent into cynicism or for his politics, which were typically progressive and unsurprising.

I repeat, he was a comedian. A funny man. A clown. You only care about his personal politics because he had the room to inflict them upon a large audience. Like anyone else, you're free to rag on him and not listen to his later raving bullshit, but before you subjected us to this hissy-fit, you might have considered the man's history, his body of work, and his cultural context--that's what you do with artists.

And you have no room to call anyone "smug" after belching out this bit of knee-jerk nonsense.
