Dennis Prager says Iran-Iraq war was a good thing (WARNING: GRAPHIC)
Edited on Tue Jun-20-06 03:27 PM by Cocoa
Today on his radio program, in a discussion about "moral clarity" of all things, a caller brought up the U.S. support of Iraq's agressive war against Iran.

Prager responded with enthusiastic support of this war, on the grounds that both Iran and Iraq were bad regimes, and if they destroy each other that's dandy with his moralist self. In passing, he mentioned that the loss of life was a tragedy, but that overall the war was a VERY good thing. He was very enthusiastic in his approval of this war. Very enthusiastic.

The theme of his program was his own puzzlement about the lack of "moral clarity" in this country, and "the Left's" refusal to admit that our enemies are evil.

With "moralists" like Prager, is it any wonder?



"An amazingly gifted man and moralist whose mission in life has been crystallized - 'to get people obsessed with what is right and wrong.'"

"One of America's five best speakers." Radio/TV Personality Tom Snyder" To my mind, Dennis Prager is the best radio talk show host in America."

"One of the ten most powerful people in Los Angeles. . . a moral compass."

(edit: He was in this case not referring to our Iraq War, but to the brutal Iraq-Iran war of the 1980s' which is known for its chemical weapons attacks, and for its massive civilian deaths, and its use of children as fighters.)

6. I once heard Dennis Prager claim that the Jews are superior because
Edited on Tue Jun-20-06 03:31 PM by Marr
rabbis are the most intelligent people in the society, and are encouraged to have alot of children. By contrast, Catholics, for instance, take their "best" men and make it off limits for them to reproduce. So, he said, the accumulative effect over thousands of years has made the Jews more intelligent than other races.

It was just such a disgusting argument- especially for a man who claims to be some kind of "moralist".
