It is a basic tenet of the Christian faith that the Old Testament (Torah) is the foundation of God's plan for Man (also acknowledged by Jews).
The original Christians were Jews that saw the advent of Jesus Christ as the coming of the Messiah and believed.
Why does Dennis Prager think that maligning his ancestors to take a shot at Ann Coulter, and all other Christians, is acceptable? Should he be fired? Charged with Hate Speech?

No. Everybody has the right to their own opinions no matter how wrong they may be.

there is a fine line between free speech and interfering with the rights of others to be free from hate. Personally, I think the theory of free speech got carried a bit too far when the KKK was given the green light to have a rally. But then, IMO, KKK and NAMBLA should have no rights at all since both cause terrible harm to others. Don't know about Prager though since I didn't hear his comments.

i trust strongly contained in the freedom of Speech even for chuckleheads. If someone feels the way they do, will an apology truly be something that lets favor??? likely to apologise for frightening human beings is the purely apology which could nicely be available I purely heard about the overseas guidelines on the challenge of holocaust denials (not particular of the precise phraseology of the guidelines). It surprises me because it provides credence or perhaps recognizes those that talk gibberish. Jews at the prompt are not particular beings (except for perchance being the selected ones), notwithstanding the holocaust changed into an abomination adverse to the form of enormous quantity of communities. i don't believe of of it as a double popular considering what happened changed into without journey. It turned right into a special (the actual definition of unique) and terrible prevalence. even with the very undeniable reality that, with each and each and every of the genocides happening contained in the wonderful 60 years, i wager it turned right into a wave of destiny issues to go back. can we ever study??

Nope.
1. Mr. Prager enjoys freedom of speech, as do I. And you.
2. Anyone who does not want to hear what he has to say has another freedom - change the station or turn the radio off.
And yes, if you are wondering, I am a Christian. I'm just not affected by his or anyone else's opinion of me and my faith.

No he shouldn't. People need to quit taking offense at every little things that are said. Every time someone says that is the least offensive someone wants an apology. This is true of religious, racial, gender, sexuality, and nationality statements. Remember the line from the movie "The American President" - (paraphrase) Freedom of speech is allowing someone to say something so offensive it makes your skin crawl and still fighting for them to be able to say it.

Sure. And then every religious person who has ever said anything bad about nonbelievers can come apologize to us.

should religious speakers be made to publicly apologize to non-religious crowds for their remarks?
