Prager H2: Who is “high maintenance”? What does it mean? Is the term usually attached to one sex more than another? And what impact does a “high maintenance” individual have an a relationship?
Prager H3: Dennis debates Will Bunch a senior writer at the Philadelphia Daily News and fellow at Media Matters for America. His new book is The Backlash: Right-Wing Radicals, High-Def Hucksters, and Paranoid Politics in the Age of Obama. Dennis returns to the President’s speech last night.
Prager H1: Now that the summer is over, Dennis asks a question worth thinking about. Is the family vacation an oxymoron? Callers weigh in.
Prager H2: Dennis was on with Larry King last night. Liberal talk show host, Stephanie Miller, asked him to define victory. Dennis did. Easily. Then, she described Timothy McVeigh as a Christian terrorist (morally equivalent to Muslim terrorists). Dennis corrected her. Easily. Allen does a honey tasting, enlisting listeners attending the Minnesota State Fair. Dennis talks to Congresswoman Michele Bachmann, Nancy Pelosi’s number one target.
Prager H3: We hear about a lot about religious extremism, but we never hear about secular extremism. What are the consequences of a completely secular society?
Prager H1: Glenn Beck held a very, very large rally at the Lincoln Memorial on Saturday. The most interesting aspect of the media coverage was the near-universal description of the crowd as being “overwhelmingly” or “predominantly” white. Dennis talks to Randy DeCleene, Senior Advisor for International Politics and Strategic Communications to Major General Tony Cucolo, the Commanding General of the Third Infantry Division. Issues discussed include current situation in Iraq today — status of US troops, political state of the country, upsurge in terror since US withdrawal.
Prager H2: Dennis talks to Tom Emmer, Republican candidate for governor for Minnesota. A solid, salt of the earth, father of seven, Emmer impresses Dennis with his straightforward, no nonsense approach to politics. Dennis returns to his analysis of this past weekend’s Glenn Beck rally. Ben Jealous, head of the NAACP, says that the people who attended the Glenn Beck rally would not agree with the ML King’s “I Have a Dream Speech.” Ironically, Jealous thinks that race is more important than the people who attended the rally, more than ML King.
Prager H3: Howard Dean casually compares Glenn Beck to Father Coughlin, a racist radio personality from the 30’s. Charles Blow of the NY Times says he’s a rhetorical assassin. This is the the NY Times’ prescription for improving the economy — more debt and more taxes. That should work. The Left is preoccupied with race.
Prager H1: At family get-togethers, who gets angrier: liberal relatives at conservative ones? Or conservative relatives at liberal ones? A Best of Prager Hour. Originally broadcast on February 17, 2010.
