OK, so if there is someone out there that is a worse offender than you are, then that makes you clean.

Got it.

If more than one person has the same (or similar) interpretation of what you say, then perhaps it is what you are saying and not the interpretation.

This is not the first time you’ve used the acts of one group to try and excuse, or deflect scrutiny from, the acts of another. If I were to commit burglary, and get caught, I seriously doubt that the judge would be lenient just because someone else has committed murder.

Yeah, that's about the best I can do that that sort of illogical BS.

I actually had read that he would not be- nor do they swear in on the Bible. New House members are sworn in enmasse and pictures are taken after the fact with the Bible or other book as it were.

So if you were expecting some kind of outrage from me- you thought wrong.

Some members are sworn in this way, others are sworn in during private sessions where they do swear on the bible. It's their choice.

Prager's a f*cking idiot.

I still had heard that he had chosen to not swear in using the Koran (sp?)- had that changed?

I doubt it makes much difference.

Do you have a source? According to Wikipedia :

"In a phone interview with the Minnesota Monitor, Ellison said "that he’s not changing his mind about the sacred text he’s swearing on. 'The Constitution guarantees for everyone to take the oath of office on whichever book they prefer. And that’s what the freedom of religion is all about.'" Ellison was also quoted in another source saying "Using the Quran, really to me, is an affirmation of the religious freedom and diversity that the constitution stands for."
