political : AN APPROPRIATE GOV'T POSITION FOR THIS MUSLIM-BASHING JEWISH TALKSHOW HOST? [+] serious ballot by cranky ACTIVE Tue Dec 05, 06 - Sun Aug 30, 09 Pundit Attacking Muslim Congressman Is Bush Appointee to Holocaust Memorial Board Right-wing (Jewish) talk show host Dennis Prager has raised a firestorm charging that Rep.-elect Keith Ellison (D-MN), the first Muslim elected to Congress, must swear in using a Bible. He said that if Ellison swears in with a Quran, it would “undermin American civilization” and be akin to swearing in with a copy of Hitler’s “Mein Kampf.” Prager is not a typical talk radio host. In September, he was appointed by President Bush to a five-year term on the taxpayer-funded United States Holocaust Memorial Council. A statement announcing Prager’s appointment praised his “unique moral voice.” Yesterday, the Council on American Islamic Relations called on Prager to be removed from this position: No one who holds such bigoted, intolerant and divisive views should be in a policymaking position at a taxpayer-funded institution that seeks to educate Americans about the destructive impact hatred has had, and continues to have, on every society. As a presidential appointee, Prager’s continued presence on the council would send a negative message to Muslims worldwide about America’s commitment to religious tolerance. Likewise, the Anti-Defamation League (a Jewish organization), a group battling anti-Semitism and other bigotry, issued a statement calling Prager’s views “intolerant,” “misinformed on the facts,” and “downright un-American.” (Think Progress) * * * * * * * * Do you think it is appropraite for Prager, who made up lies to assist with his smear campaign against American's first Muslim Congressman should hold such a politically sensitive U.S. government post? Yes, we need more bigoted blowhards in government No, Prager's behavior should disqualify him I'm a neocon. I hate Muslims so much, I just wet myself No, if a Muslim behaved in this manner, oy vey!
