Moron... I Mean More on Prager

On Thursday I wrote about right wing talk radio horse's ass Dennis Prager's completely manufactured story about Rep. Keith Ellison being sworn in using the Q'uran (Dennis Prager's Bigotted Hoax). While not admitting the story isn't true, he admits that forcing someone to swear on the Bible is probably not so much legal.

In an interview with USA Today, Prager acknowledged that trying to ban Ellison from choosing to use a Quran "may well be unconstitutional." As various commentators have pointed out, Prager's demand violates the Constitution's provision that "no religious Test shall ever be required as a Qualification to any Office or public Trust under the United States."

Nevertheless, Prager said today "that he's going to keep pressing the issue," and that he'll "be writing and talking about this issue again." In a show of support, the American Family Association has launched a campaign urging Congress "to pass a law making the Bible the book used in the swearing-in ceremony of representatives and senators."

Good luck with that, since no book at all is used to swear in reps. and Prager's story is a bald-faced lie.

But bigots won't let a little thing like truth stand in their way.
