Fine. I will not call Dennis Prager stupid. Ignorant, perhaps, but not stupid. He appears quite intelligent.

But I will say that in my opinion, the stick up Dennis Prager’s ass has a stick up its ass.

“To call him ‘stupid’ is base and childish.”

And entirely accurate.

Robert, you are in over your head. As Mark Twain said…”It is better to keep your mouth closed and let people think you are a fool than to open it and remove all doubt.”

Prager stupid? In other news, water is wet, the sun rises in the East, and another Dennis is flying to Mr. Prager’s defense.

One thing to keep in mind is that conservatives are now completely using up all of their “oh, for heaven’s sake, *IT WAS A JOKE!*” defenses when they say anything bad about liberal folks. Save these clippings; next time any one of them who attacked Journolist says something mean and pretends it was a joke, remind them that they clearly expect any such statement to be taken seriously, even when spoken in private.

Prager never resorts to name calling. he consistently lays out his points and contrasts them with opposite views. He is always a gentleman. Whereas Beck sometimes does go too far in assigning evil motives to people.

To refute Prager’s points with a mainstream example of negative rhetoric from the right is fair, but maybe debatable. To call him “stupid” is base and childish.

While I describe your rhetoric here in negative terms, I offer no opinion of your character.

Granted, both are still wrong. However, it is a matter of degree. There is little chance that someone on a LISTSERV that consists of journalists will try to act on these things. Glenn Beck’s audience? Wouldn’t be surprised if these words became an incitement to violence. In fact, his words already have incited violence.
