Who the F*** is this Dennis Prager Asshole on with Tweety?
He wouldn't let Joe Conason get a word in edgewise. Typical fascist talking points. Jesus!

bio
from www.denisprager.com
One of America's most respected thinkers, Dennis Prager is an author, lecturer, teacher, and theologian with a nationally syndicated radio talk show originating from Los Angeles on KRLA 870 AM

I'd never heard of him either, but you're right... he seemed like a prick.

2. Well said!
I couldn't agree more.
The Reichwing Nazi behavior is getting more and more difficult to endure every day.

6. I'm not very eloquent when I'm mad

4. Conanson cleaned his clock
Prager is a little prick and acted as such. I liked Conason's jab at Coulter issuing her a challange to debate. Tweety wimped out, of course. I hate Tweety more than the open conservatives. He is really disgusting.

7. appalling
Whatever respect I had for Chris Matthews is gone. He is incapable of serving as a moderator where the agenda of one speaker is to hog all the air time. He did as poor a job of ensuring that all sides had equal opportunity to share views as Pat Schroeder did at the now-infamous O'Reilly-Franken-Ivins panel.

8. I loved Conason's "ditto head" jab
when Prager kept badgering him about conservative radio succeeding because "conservatives are true thinkers". lol.

Conason is my favorite liberal pundit. He has tons of fight and always sounds rational (as opposed to tinfoil, flaky, whiny or extremist).

9. A wing nut who spews in the Twin Cities
He's a freak on AM 1280, THE FASCIST in the Twin Cities

I believe AM 1280, THE FASCIST went into Nazi talk in the Summer of 2001.

10. Dennis Prager
is well known within the Jewish community. He has a regular column in the Jewish magazine Moment. He pretty much blames all the world's problems on liberalism.

18. Prager is a vicious anti-black bigot
Prager really dumps the hate on blacks.

And he hates latinos, too!

Edited on Sat Aug-23-03 02:54 PM by wuushew

13. Think of a Jewish William Bennett ...
...or maybe the bastard son of Limbaugh and "Dr." Laura.

I first became aware of this jackass decades ago, when my (Jewish)
grandmother would listen to "Religion on the Line" on KABC.
Prager was the last host of this show (I think it ended because the
priests and rabbis got tired of his holier-than-thou attitude).

His main shtick is about morality; all laws must be morality-based, otherwise there is anarchy.

Like most rightwing hosts, he is a moral absolutist. Those who
agree with him (such as when he found an article to claim that ALL
rape is for sexual gratification), are thoughtful, enlightened beings;
all those who disagree with him (such as the non-smokers; he smokes
a pipe) are utterly without moral basis.

I know he is still on in L.A., but have not been able to listen to
him for more than ten seconds without wanting to rip my radio out of
my dash, ever since the time over five years ago, when I had just
received the phone call that my mother (Who HAD smoked a day in her
life, but that one day was 45 years earlier, and never again) had
just been admitted to the hospital for what turned out to be the
final time. As I drove through the LA freeway system, I turned on
the radio, and there was Prigger (sic) once again railing in his
self-amused style about how immoral the people who complain about
second-hand smoke were for taking away pleasure from others. My
mother died a week later from lung cancer.

Hate is a debilitating thing, but I do not know of a talk-show host I HATE more than Dennis Prager.

14. I can tell you he's a client of my old firm
Who has "issues" about everything financial. I'd like to tell you what they were but confidentiality is a bitch.
He likes to pontificate about moralty like his neighbor, Dr. Laura...
they live within a mile of each other in a gated So Cal community.

17. another smug imbecile who likes to use the watchmaker theory
to "prove" the existence of god. He uses it endlessly, as if it's never been refuted.
