I just called Dennis Prager and damaged his credibility

[Enrique]

(yes it's possible)

Dennis Prager has been touting the Op-Ed article today by the big war supporters Kenneth Pollack and Michael O'Hanlon, supporting extending the surge through 2008.

He twice called Pollack and O'Hanlon "anti-war activists," and posed a challenge to any anti-war folks that might be listening: does this new blockbuster editorial by two "anti-war activists" make you rethink your opposition to the war, or are you too blinded by Bush-hatred?

Armed with ThinkProgress's Research, I rang Prager, and pointed out how Pollack authored a 2002 book subtitled "The case FOR war in Iraq" and how O'Hanlon got a January 2007 op-ed published in the Wash. Post titled "A skeptic's case FOR the surge."

He addressed Pollack's book first. He said, yeah, I should have mentioned that book. But Pollack has since regretted that book and has become anti-war since then. Yeah, right.

Then he addressed O'Hanlon. He said, yeah, I should have mentioned that O'Hanlon supported the surge.

Some anti-war activists.

Answering his challenge, I told him that I react to this editorial by not even bothering to read it, since it's just another pro-war article by just another couple of huge war supporters.

He cut the call off and said to his listeners, "I'm not sure I actually called them antiwar."

In fact, he had twice called them, verbatim, "anti-war activists," and never hinted at any support by them of the war, as many of his listeners will remember clearly.
