The Left isn’t concerned about the “indigenous peoples” of England.

They say we use “divisive” language, right-wing “rhetoric”, and engage in “name calling” when we out them as Communists.

Their response is to call us “Fascists”.

I see Communist litter-ature at their rallies. I see “Socialist Workers” websites on their t-shirts and banners.

I don’t see “Fascist” groups represented in any way at conservative events.

They are not anti-war. They are against American involvement in wars. They are DECIDEDLY pro-Palestinian War INCLUDING the use of suicide bombers.

In 2003 as this country was gearing up for a possible confrontation with Saddam (he was being offered the opportunity to step down and to save his country from war), there were rallies in DC and SF. They were covered live on Pacifica radio.

At one of these rallies I heard a woman crying “they use the only weapon they have, their bodies! < sob >” with regards to Palestinian suicide bombers. Makes me sick that these cretins would find a justification for such an action and make THEM into victims for killing innocents.

I say the two words are “white guilt”, sort of a forgotten idea from the heyday of the civil rights movement, but it’s been festering all this time. To me, it all fits.

White guilt is alive and well, and got us Deval Patrick as Governor of MA in the last election. What an unmitigated goober!

Of course the Cheney-Leahy incident was not on the floor but in Senate chambers as far as I recall.

It was in the Senate CLOAKROOM!

Dennis is right. Since the 60s, at least, many liberals have used foul language to shock and offend. I’ve witnessed it with liberal relatives. I’ve seen it on television news. I see it on bumper stickers: F the President, “clever” stickers playing on the name Bush, etc. The left loves to offend. Yet they are always at the ready to sniff at “offensive speech” (by others). Liberals are hypocrites.

To listen to liberals discussing Congressman Mark Foley, one would think that the Ten Commandments have been replaced by one: “Thou shalt not be a hypocrite.” Oh they might mention homosexuality. But bring up Congressman Barney Franks. Oh, its about the young age of pages. That’s it. Then bring up Congressman Studds. Well it’s not age either, it’s hypocrisy. The Democrats openly embrace sodomy so it’s all right. But Republicans reject sodomy and sin, yet are sometimes tempted. Yup, the problem is hypocrisy they will tell you. But they are hypocrites too.

Of course it is really about winning and losing and about power. The end justifies the means. There is a higher morality than the bourgeois morality of telling the truth. The left has turned into a vast liars club. They know it’s O.K. to lie. But then they believe the next whopper! Their world view has been built on lies.

Liberals still say and believe that under capitalism the poor get poorer. That’s been known to be false for over 100 years. Hence Marxism-Leninism as opposed to Marxism proper. Lenin was right: liberals are useful idiots, for a hundred years and still counting.

He’s right about Prager that he used to be a leftist geek.

At the time he was promoting himself as a “Passionate Centrist” and the savior to mankind.

I must remind people every once in a while what a craven pig Dennis Prager is.

Dennis Prager had a TV show where daily he bleated about his “Passionate Centrist” positions (Everyone is an idiot except, me, fat Dennis Prager). He invited Bob Grant on to his program and totally sandbagged him and tried to paint him as a racist KKK type, truly disguisting. Prager knew EXACTLY what he was doing, he was going for the HERO Geraldo/Donahue role, hoping to use Bob Grant’s carcass for publicity and superstardom.

Dennis Prager is a big, fat piece, or walking excrement, if I ever see him I will gladly tell him myself.

Whether I agree with him on his positions today is irrelevant, he has shown what he is capable of and what he is capable of is pretty disguisting, and in the spirit of the artice F*** Dennis Prager!

Picking on Bob Grant is like picking on my father, I’ll keep reminding people what a self-serving, bloviating pig Prager is.

Let me guess, he’s morphed from a smug liberal leftist, doing promos while sitting in front of tire shops, spewing leftist babble, to a building block of conservatism?

YES!! Everyone was so so self assured that he was this big conservative and they all piled on you but....YOU were right, not them. They never knew the old Prager who thought he was going to strike it rich as the fat Phil Donohue!

See my above post about Prager when you and I knew him and apparently millions of conservatives didn’t.

I didn’t know that about Dennis Prager.

But it is possible he changed. People do grow up.

Take David Horowitz for example. Makes Prager look like a boy scout if what you say is the case. Horowitz is a warrior on our side - and I’m grateful.

Hell, Reagan the conservative icon was a Democrat in his younger years...

That is why the amount of public cursing on the Left and the way curse words are accepted as part of public and formal discourse

The left has been reduced to a bunch of babbling morons. It's actually quite fascinating, but rather frightening too.

People do change but what Prager did to Bob Grant is on a different level.

It was a knowing, wanton, reckless assault on an innocent man trying to smear him as a horrible racist and person on television, knowing it wasn’t true, that borders on EVIL.

Coming from such a fat tub of preachiness I just can’t take him seriously. He was a grown man when he did this it was something like 10 years ago. Every time I hear Prager talk about “us” conservatives I want to slap him, he tried to make his bones in this business by sneak attacking a legend and pioneer in the business. Prager is very smug and fancies himself an intellectual, that he smeared Bob Grant who actually IS an intellectual as a simple racist makes his perfidy all the more disgraceful.
