Questions

Can someone add a picture please? And why is this guy never fact checked by anyone? ^{— Unsigned, by: ClothCoat / talk / contribs}

He has over 100 citations on Right Wing Watch, to name just one place where he's refuted. —cosmikdebris ^talk stalk 02:36, 25 July 2021 (UTC)

You are misrepresenting the whole point about his position on rape allegations, which is nearly identical to Alan Dershowitz's position

It is not the defamation aspect of a false rape allegation that is the issue; it is the fact that the false accuser exposes the person to a false prosecution which can put him or her in prison unjustly for years on end. Mere defamation is a different matter altogether. Many people, from all over the political spectrum, believe in a very reasonable standard: that if one falsely accuses one of a crime, he or she should get the same penalty that the falsely accused person would have received.

"An eye for an eye" is not a reasonable standard but a Stone Age policy for tribal societies with nothing else to base their laws on. I don't understand, if someone falsly accuses someone else for murder you really think they should get life? Even if it's done by accident (misidentified a suspect) or coercian by a third party? And yes he literally says the issue is defamation in that article jail time is (at most) a secondary focus. ClothCoat (talk) 07:19, 6 January 2016 (UTC)

His book

A wingnut family member of mine (he's a huge fan of Prager and inspired me to create this page) has loaned me Prager's book in an attempt to "convert" me from "leftism". The book is as bad as you'd expect it to be, with rants about "secular religions" and global warming denialism and saying ddt bans killed millions etc. Does anyone think it's worth creating a page for his book "Still the Best Hope" or is this page enough? It would be nice if someone else who had access to his god awful book could help me with the page. I was only considering it because wingnuts love his book.
