I personally find it disingenous on the part of Prager, Medved and Savage to support the “right-wing” in this country as it was only a slightly different form of the same in Germany that caused the destruction of their ancestors. I think the natural home of Jews is within the Democratic party. 90% of the Jews in this country tend to vote Democratic.

I think Prager is really really a crook. Mike has pulled the rug from under his feet on more than a couple of occassions (you can find his calls in the archive section). He immediately disconnects such calls giving the BS that he prefers clarity to agreement.

It is because Christians are a majority in the US that he goes about talking of Judeo-Christian values. I dont think there can be any point of agreement obetween non-believers and monotheists - be they Christian or Muslim. The theology of both say that their own messengers (JC or Mohammed) is God’s last messenger for all of mankind for all time to come. Huh…so convenient for believers and so intolerant of non-believers. I cannot for the life of me understand how Prager can find common ground with a philosophy which ultimately wants his conversion. That is why I have such low regard for him.

I believe that had the US been predominantly Buddhist/Hindu, Prager would have invented a new class of philosophy called Judeo-Buddhist/Hindu philosophy and made his living talking about that.

Further, Savage, Hannity, Coulter, Bruce, etc. couldn’t hold Dennis’ coat in a debate. They’re all bright, like Al Franken. Thoguh, they’re not really as good at clarifying issues, as at winning the argument, while making the opponent look stupid. Dennis has an uncanny ability to conduct interesting long form interviews / debate with the best thinkers from the opposing point of view. And that’s why I listen to his show with an open mind.

Great, important issues desreve the time to examine the best arguments of the opposing posiitons. Even with the benefit of Blogs, talk radio, TV, and our best efforts, the loudest voices, not the clearest thinkers, often garner the most attention.

If what I’ve siad doesn’t make sense, please let me know.

at a time when America could have come together as one to face incredibly difficult problems, Mr. Prager and others chose to divide the country by demonizing democrats. I think Mr. Prager is actually one of the more vile of the talk radio creeps because, like Bill O’Reilly, he does have a “everyman” appeal. He is very good at concealing his efforts behind a smooth voice and cool rhetoric.

but I’m wondering - where in this post did you see me call him a name? To the contrary, I called him gracious and responsible. I praised him here - because I am willing to be honest and fair in my assessment of his individual action - even if I loathe his overall personna and body of work.
