Dennis Prager Libeled by Keith Olbermann and Cenk Uygur
You Tube ^ | 10/30/08 | Devil's Advocate

Folks, I know I tell you all the time to promote a video and put it into your favorites on YouTube, but this time it is more important than most. Dennis Prager was just libeled by Keith Olbermann and Cenk Uygur and they attempted to make him look stupid.

Dennis Prager was articulating the very simple point that equality of outcomes, also known as economic equality, is not an American value. He has said this numerous times on his show. In fact, I have heard him say this at least 5 times in the past two weeks.

As a result, Dennis said the same thing in a speech he gave to a Minnesota crowd. His only problem was that he didn't specify "equality of outcomes" because he was speaking to his radio audience who clearly knew what he was saying.

Well, Keith Olbermann made him the "Worst Person in the World," and read from the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence to make it as if Dennis Prager didn't know what he was talking about. Cenk Uygur did the same thing. I made a video about it.

Sounds like Dennis did something to himself and Olberdork made an issue out of it. How is that libelous?

Olberman knows what he meant and is deliberately misleading his audience. I am no longer amused and starting to get nervous about our freedom in a few days.

If anything, Prager was slandered.

Slander is spoken.

Libel is written.

Prager, who I credit with my adoption of conservative principles, spent way to much time refuting this..the sportscaster turned political commentator, is not worth the effort.

If a tree falls in the woods and no one is there to hear it, does it make a sound?

If Olberman slanders on TV and there is no one there to hear it, is it really slander?

I think Prager could have been clearer. . ..there is no need to soft sell "all are created equal" . . .it's the idea that equality means economic sameness that is the problem. . .that "equality" means that government must define and oversee all that is to be "equalized". . .

The words of the Declaration concerning "equality" are essential . ..they are indelible linked to the idea that we are "created" and that our value, rights and freedoms are an extension of that fact and, thus, have been "endowed" by our Creator.

However, what we make of our life is in our hands. . the Founder's were well aware that the path toward happiness and prosperity required individuals who accepted personal responsibility to govern themselves by virtues rooted in religious faith.

Olbermann named Prager “The Worst Person in the Whole Wide World.” Prage should get a certificate and hang it on his wall. This is a mark of honor.

"Olbermann named Prager “The Worst Person in the Whole Wide World.”"

You mean Limbaugh has fallen into second place and Olbermann hates Prager more? Oh, say it isn't so (sob).

In a one-on-one between Prager and Olberman... Olberman would get OWNED.

Would like to see a face-to-face debate... but it would never happen because Olberman is a **ssy.
