Conservative Dennis Prager "presents intolerant, ugly views."

[Eric J in MN]

Statement of the Jewish Anti-Defamation League on Dennis Prager attacking Congressman-elect Keith Ellison (D-MN) for planning to use a Koran for the swearing-in photo-op:

Prager ridiculously asserts that permitting Rep. Ellison to take the oath of office would “be doing more damage to the unity of America and to the value system that has formed this country than the terrorists of 9-11.” What he fails to understand is that what truly unifies all Americans is a value system built on religious freedom and pluralism, not dogmatism and coercion.

Prager presents intolerant, ugly views. His comparison of Ellison’s desire to “choose his favorite book” to that of the right of a racist elected to public office to use Hitler’s Mein Kampf is outrageous. If Prager were merely a blogger and radio talk-show host trying to be relevant and provocative, these views might not merit a response. But as a newly-appointed member of the United States Holocaust Memorial Council, Prager and his views must be held to a higher standard.

The American Jewish Committee is also against conservative Dennis Prager's views. Here is a thread on that:

1. As an aside, I sat next to him on a flight once.

Have you seen Airplane where the guy wanted to set himself on fire because he was so bored with his seatmate's talking? That was me next to Prager.

5. Me, only two seats . . .

He introduced himself and I knew the name, but I was not as politically aware as I am now. Anyhow, boooooring. Self-absorbed, rather bizarre in his views.

6. Do you remember anything specific he said about politics? NT

4. Yeah the thousands and thousands of service personnel

who have died for this country were serving to ensure we all worshiped the bible (freely.") Prager is a sad disgusting perverted human, in other words he is a typical 21st century "conservative" in America.
