Boortz: Rep. Cynthia McKinney "looks like a ghetto slut"

[edbermac]

From the March 31 broadcast of Cox Radio Syndication's The Neal Boortz Show, with producer Belinda Skelton and talk radio host Royal Marshall:

BOORTZ: For instance, or for goodness sakes, jump in and I'm gonna say -- I'm gonna start out with something controversial. I saw Cynthia McKinney's new hair-do. Have you seen it, Belinda?

SKELTON: No.

BOORTZ: She looks like a ghetto slut.

SKELTON: Well, how is it?

...

BOORTZ: No, it's not braided. It just flies away from her head in every conceivable direction. It looks like an explosion in a Brillo pad factory. It's just hideous. To me, that hairstyle just shows contempt for -- no, it's not an Afro. I mean, no, it just shows contempt for the position that she holds and the body that she serves in. And, I'm sorry, there's just no other way to -- it's just a hideous and horrible looking --

...

BOORTZ: She looks like Tina Turner peeing on an electric fence.

MARSHALL: OK, so you don't like her hair.

...

BOORTZ: She looks like a shih tzu!

MARSHALL: I like Cynthia's new hairstyle.

BOORTZ: Well, there you go. Differing opinions.

1. This is just sick. I'm at a loss of words, really.

Asshole pretty much fits.

[bluestateguy]

2. Does this mean it's now fair game to make racist remarks about C. Rice?

Just asking...

[aden_nak]

9. No, her hair is straight, so she's "acceptable" to these pigs.

[ayeshahaqqiqa]

3. What would this person say

if we said that Laura Bush has eyes that look like she's crazy or drugged? Or if we commented on the various wigs worn by repuke senators?

[JetCityLiberal]

4. Cynthia McKinney has more class

in her butt hair than that slime Boortz will ever have in his life.

What a wanker...:puke:

[Systematic Chaos]

5. And he's had encounters with HOW MANY "ghetto sluts"

in order to reach this conclusion?

Are we to presume that he's an expert on these things? And can we then construe his comments to be backhanded compliments?

Ya know, just sayin'....

[jeanarrett]

62. Just what I was thinking...sounds like he's been around a few

ghetto sluts to know this.

[marmar]

6. Disgusting...

Radio KKK.

[The_Casual_Observer]

7. It's the best they can do. Otherwise they would have to discuss

the Iraq war, or the price of gasoline. They don't like to do that.

[progmom]

8. he should be fired for that

[saltpoint]

10. Racist, sexist, facist. It's hard to decide among the three to describe

Boortz's comment.

Oh hell, I'll take them all.

[dogday]

11. I would think the sponsors of this show

Would take offense to anyone calling and US Congresswoman names like this.. If his sponsors don't know, perhaps it is up to us to let them know how we feel....

[aden_nak]

13. Just a refresher: ACTUALLY Boortz' ugly mug:

Talk about glass houses. . .

EDIT: Son of a bitch, you right click on the wrong photo, and you end up really sticking your foot in your mouth. My apologies to Senator Cleland, of whom I have always been a fan.

[Orrex]

16. What's that horrible monster doing to that poor microphone?

[KingFlorez]

17. That's not Boortz, that's Max Cleland

LOL

[Emit]

22. Yes, it is Cleland. Didn't think that was Boortz. TX for clarifying. n/t

[CottonBear]

54. It is not Max Cleland. It is Boortz. Cleland was my SoS and Senator.

I know what Sen Cleland looks like.

[Emit]

56. It was edited.

It was first Cleland and now it's Boortz.

[CottonBear]

66. Thanks! n/t

[Emit]

19. Is that him?

Here's the pic from his website.

[Chiyo-chichi]

46. David Brent pose.

Every photo of this schmo looks like one of David Brent's goofy contrived poses from the (British) Office.

Racist. Sexist. Pig.

[Jack Rabbit]

14. Neil Boortz looks like an idiot

However, Cynthia McKinney is not a ghetto slut.

[Systematic Chaos]

23. She is a gutsy, awesome woman...

...and nothing that pasty-looking piece of &*#( can say is gonna change that. If only there were more people in office who gave a damn about the truth....

[KingFlorez]

15. He looks like an old withered old racist monkey

I wonder how he likes them apples?

[Zookeeper]

18. And what exactly does her hair have to do with anything?

I love that he announces, "I'm going to start with something controversial." Is her hair controversial (not that I've heard) or is he just trying to make a big, ugly noise because he has nothing intelligent to say?

[tblue37]

78. Remember how they blasted Hillary for her hair,

and even little Chelsea for hers?

[Jose Diablo]

20. Who is this Boortz guy?

Is he in the try-outs as the replacement for Limpballs when Rush goes to gaol?

[pocket]

25. scumbag libertarian wanna-be pundit

.

[genieroze]

21. BOORTZ: She looks like a ghetto slut?

What a cracker.

[C_U_L8R]

24. Racist Sexist Elephant Turd

Just you average ordinary republican.

What unamerican creeps.

[JohnnyJ]

26. Who cares what that fat piece of shit says......

why do we even lower ourselves and give him the time of day?

[Radio_Guy]

27. Boortz couldn't hold Cynthia's water

Cynthia has more class underneath her fingernails than Boortz has in his entire obese body. He is the epitome of stupidity.

[ronnykmarshall]

28. I think the guy's a jerk, but ...........

We've said some pretty nasty things about Pickles, Condilizzard, Mann Coulter and KKKatherine Hairyass.

So we're no better.



:hide:

[arwalden]

36. Guilty As Charged, Your Honor...

... thank goodness I'm not a radio/TV personality! :popcorn:

[ronnykmarshall]

38. You ARE a personality !!

[Zodiak]

41. nope...those RWers can say this about McKinney

just as long as Mike Malloy can say what he wants, as well.

[Catrina]

42. Totally different. We are not on the air or being paid ~ I would know

better than to do that if my job was on the air as a political pundit and would expect to be fired if I were to speak that way about anyone, let alone a US Congresswoman.

Otoh, it's done to create controversy and to get attention ~ his show must be in need of listeners ~ he's another Coulter/Limbaugh/Hannity nobody hired precisely because they have no class. That's what the rightwing wanted to do, to lower the political discourse bar into the gutter, so that their racism, sexism etc. would eventually be acceptable in the open once again.

There's nothing worse than being ignored, let them rant to each other. Across the board they are losing audiences ~ soon they'll be lucky if the last remaining 30 or so Freepers are still paying attention to them ~

[progmom]

47. you're right

When we pick on their appearance instead of their ideology, we're no better than them.

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

50. As nasty as? Yes, no doubt. As racist as? Not likely. -nt

[ronnykmarshall]

59. We're funnier too!

[Hamlette]

29. and this is different from all the comments about the Bush women how? n/t

[ronnykmarshall]

33. See my comment above.

:hide:

[Bridget Burke]

43. Which liberal commentators have slammed the Bush women on the air?

Yes, I've added to the snark. But I'm just sitting here in the peanut gallery.

[Ms. Clio]

68. Nobody is calling them trashy hos on the public airwaves?

[goclark]

30. So if the real heads of the bald head congressmen

like DeLay were to walk into congress, what would they be called!


That is outrageous. :puke:

[bloom]

31. Republican Assholes need to get over themselves.

He has nothing to be proud of.

[Catherine Vincent]

32. It's no wonder they say liberals hate their conservative talk....

[Lisa0825]

34. I like big hair on African American women!

I think it's sexy! It's also a "modern again" look.

He's a pig, basing his opinion on his underlying racism.

[Virginia Dare]

35. How is that any better than calling Condi a coon?

I mean really, the discourse in this country keeps sinking to new lows.

:puke:

[Catherine Vincent]

37. That slip with Condi was an accident.

[Virginia Dare]

44. But the guy still lost his job didn't he? EOM

[Ms. Clio]

69. Did he lose his job? I thought he just apologized n/t

[bunkerbuster1]

39. "In his pre-radio life, he was a speech writer for GA Gov. Lester Maddox"

so says wiki.

Need you know a whole hell of a lot more than that?

[mondo joe]

40. Impossible to even figure out how to start, this is wrong in so

many ways.

[Octafish]

45. Call the FCC.

Say the station should have their license revoked.

The very least we should settle for is that turd Boortz' immediate firing.

[itzamirakul]

52. The FCC is headed up by Bush cronies...

Contacting them won't mean a damned thing.

[Octafish]

73. Get them on record as ignoring request. Add you'll boycott advertisers.

That ought to scare them.

[RebelOne]

48. I think all you pots are calling the kettle black.

How many times do you all diss Laura, Condi and other Republican women's hair, makeup and clothing?

[CottonBear]

51. Well, we never called Condi's hairdo "ghetto."

We simply thought it could be a better, softer hairdo. She has a nice hairdo now. Much softer.

[itzamirakul]

53. I think there is a little difference in remarking about someone's

appearance on a message board and making racist comments on the radio.

[RebelOne]

57. Slut could not be called racist. It is an unflattering name.

[itzamirakul]

58. I don't think that you can deny that using the descriptive term 'Ghetto"

is racist, since I have never heard of a "White Ghetto" here in America. American use of the word "Ghetto" immediately indicates a black neighborhood. To call Rep. McKinney a "Ghetto Slut" refers to her race, therefore it is a racist comment.

(The term "ghetto" was used to describe the area Jews lived in while in Germany ca WWII)

[KittyWampus]

61. Um, you've never heard of "white trash" or "trailer trash"?

[itzamirakul]

64. Um, maybe you were not aware that the term under discussion was

Ghetto slut.

White Trash and trailer trash were not mentioned in the particular post. If you want to add them to the mix, so be it, but they had nothing to do with the subject of my post.

[gatorboy]

55. Cynthia makes it look good!

I always thought she was cute...But probably a little feisty for me. :P

[CottonBear]

49. Boortz calls her the "cutest little commie in Congress" too.

Boortz is a boil on the butt of humanity. :grr:
He broadcasts here in GA from the WSB 750 AM station in Atlanta. You know what's even worse? His sidekick is a BLACK Republican named Royal Marshall who goes along with all of this racist crap. Royal should be ashamed but I guess he's jsut another greedy, Hummer (he does own one) driving Republican asshat.

This morning, Boortz and Marshall were demeaning Media Matters for America and presenting (of course) a one-sided view of what MM had reported about Boortz's comments about incarcerating illegal immigrants in the Superdome prior to deportation.
:puke:

[NVMojo]

60. ...and he knows what a ghetto slut is and looks like??? Hmmmm.

[Sadie5]

63. Anyone got a picture of new hairstyle?

n/t

[Cleita]

65. That's an awful cheap shot even if it wasn't blatantly racist.

For people, who don't understand, remember when Chelsea Clinton was criticized at the age of thirteen for her wild naturally curly hair. I think the term brillo pad was used for her too.

[Ms. Clio]

67. The guy who had the "slip of the tongue" when talking about Rice

was at least forced to apologize. Yet this gutter trash will surely get a pass.

Why is this revolting racist pig allowed to pollute the public airwaves? I think I will write a letter to the FCC.

[TheBaldyMan]

70. stay classy Neal.

edited to remove obscenity, I'm sorry I sunk to Mr. Boortz's level. Apologies to all concerned.

[electropop]

71. Is that Boortz or Boor?

What a slimy subhuman donkey-fucking pedophile sack of shit.

[napi21]

72. Why are you listenting to him? He's aired on local radio, but I

haven't tuned in for several years! e's actually gotten worse that he used to be! At least I used to agree when he call the local school boards idiots for suspending 1st graders for having 1 1/2 inch plastic guns on their key chains!!!!

I think the last time I listened to him was when he called Chelsey Clinton a dog.

[izzybeans]

74. Boortz looks like a smug uppity peace of shit.

He also looks like that kid that tried way too hard during school to make friends. He takes the joke too far, he thinks its funny to the cool kids to push down girls on the playground, he most likely turned a prank into a sensless tragedy, etc. and that's what makes him look like such a smug peace of shit today. Today in order to impress his racist audience he called a congresswoman a ghetto slut.

[stanwyck]

75. The GOP has totally given up on

the black community. The Cynthia McKinney brouhaha proves it. How could a Capitol Hill guard NOT know who she is? This incident resonates with black people. They've been stopped and hassled for walking while black, shopping while black, driving while black..you name it.
So. When Cynthia "isn't recognized" (?) after being a U.S. Congresswoman for a zillion years...you have to wonder.
And Neal just pours gasoline on the fire. True. His audience is a bunch of racists anyway. But, it's out there. People know. This just solidifies the GOP as two-faced bigots who bray about how wonderful Condi is, in their plantation mastah condescending way, while gleefully making heinous remarks about other black women. Like Cynthia. It's all right there. Just below the surface.
These are loathsome people.

[grace0418]

76. "I've endured years of "bald" remarks. I'm entitled. "

That's a quote from his website: "And don't give me any stuff for saying this. I've endured years of "bald" remarks. I'm entitled. "

Yeah, being called "bald" vs. being called a "ghetto slut"... that's the same thing, right?

Well you know what asshole, I'm going to do a lot worse than make bald remarks about you. You slimy piece of slug shit. You aren't worthy enough to clean Cynthia McKinney's toilets with your tongue. So why don't you take your racist, sexist opinions and stick them the same place I'm going to stick my foot if I ever meet you in person. Fucker.

:grr: :grr: :grr: :grr: :grr: :grr: :grr: :grr:

[Catfight]

77. I've heard him use the "N" word on his show, he needs to be off the air.

[Paladin]

79. He's A Virulent, Up-Front-About-It Racist

The sooner he's off the air, the better.....

[bluestateguy]

80. How many ghetto sluts have a PhD from Tufts?

Do I always agree with McKinney? No, but she is a fighter and right now that's what we need in the Democratic Party.
