And then Prager goes on to say this:

I always give my example of you would think I hated every group on earth if you heard what I say about bad drivers. Whatever group the bad driver is in, I hate that group for that minute. Men, women, this ethnic group, this religious group, it doesn't matter.Um -- so a black guy cuts you off and you yell the n-word at him and it doesn't matter? Is that what you're saying, Dennis Prager? Because that matters. If the first thing you think of is that person's race, gender, religion (I'm not sure I get that -- was their car wearing a yarmulke?) then that matters. That's a problem. That's something you have to think about and then fix.

I thought they had nothing to hide?

Confused... is he arguing that all the terrible things people do when they think no one is looking is completely separate from your character? Or that character only exists in other people's minds, based solely on what you allow them to see? What an asshole.

"Idiocracy" is *way* ahead of schedule.

Yeah this is about the stupidest argument I’ve ever heard. Yes, it does actually mean that deep down you do hate all those groups, if you express your bigotry about them even in the privacy of your own car. People who aren’t bigoted, when confronted with a bad driver, will yell out “What a dick-headed chucklefuck!” or some other suitably pithy phrase. We won’t feel the need to add the n-word or the c-word or the k-word, even in our own heads, because we aren’t bigoted assholes.

No, it’s only OK if they ask GOD, because that’s private.

That's why we always wear our woodland camo, in case we fall up to space

Why doesn’t Prager give Donald Andrew "Don" Novello and SNL credits and royalties for creating Father Guido Sarducci and the “Five Minute University” back in 1980?

I think he's getting confused when it comes to the meaning of "Character". An actor can play a psycho and be a lovely person in real life and vice versa. It's a character that is played. Let's face it Trump couldn't read a script, let alone act convincingly. He is the character and is an awful one, there's no acting involved.

It all makes sense now!

That tape also revealed that he also thinks you have to knock on a bus door to open it.

but the "Access Hollywood" tape -- with "amiable" Billy Bush chuckling along with Trump

The Access Hollywood tape was also bad enough that Bush lost his job and yet Trump gets a pass.

I cannot believe that the script wasn't nominated.
