Who the hell is this disease called Neil Boortz?

[Cyrano]

I know he's a wingnut broadcaster, and I even posted to a thread yesterday where he "apologized" for calling Cynthia McKinney "ghetto trash," and a "welfare drag queen."

You would think that these racist slurs would tell me everything I need to know about this cancerous growth named Boortz. But, in truth, I never heard of him until yesterday.

Is there some kind of Republican training school for hate mongers? Has some alien species invaded us to speed up the process of racial/religious/tribal self-destruction?

There are just too many insane, wingnut, fascists around, and there is no rational explanation for it. Has Cheney contracted Halliburton to add Kool-aid to all the reservoirs?

But to get back to my original question -- Who the hell is this piece of sewerage named Boortz?

[Cooley Hurd]

1. Just another run-of-the-mill hack...

...a Rush Limbaugh wannabe, but with even less talent.:puke:

[DBoon]

2. My not-quite-serious theory

it all has to do with the spread of meth in rural areas.

I think one of the consequences of abusing this drug is that it turns you into a right wing hack.

Think about it:

- Agression (check)
- Paranoia (check)
et.

14. you may be onto something

[Orrex]

3. Search for him here on DU. Everyone loves him

Here's a thread in which I posted a small observation, but many others abound.

[laststeamtrain]

4. A human-ersatz animal hybrid. You've seen that talking fish thing?

He's like that combined with a libertarian, flat tax advocate know-it-all. Altogether an unpleasant creature.

[LSparkle]

15. LOL!

[RufusEarl]

5. Hell i thought they were talking about Neil Bu$h!

[EST]

6. Limbaugh and the other fetid, hate talk enablers have

given them tacit permission to spew their hatred. In a more moral era most of them would keep a lid on it, fearing massive disapproval, and only a few total wipeouts would get loud.
Now it has become an epidemic, probably eventually leading to hangings, assassinations, murder and other horrors as they faithfully serve their god.

[shenmue]

7. He's an idiot radio host

People in my office in GA used to listen to him (I lived there a few years ago). None of us liked him. We only listened because the station that broadcast him was one of only two channels we could get.

He's just crazy and full of hate.

[Mr.Green93]

8. Something that will be cured by The Fairness Doctrine

Coming Jan. 07.

[LSK]

9. hes in Atlanta right?

I heard Malloy talking about him a while back.

Another right wing pig who has a radio show.

[norml]

10. He's a right wing republican radio clown who calls himself a libertarian

in order to be a better shill for the republicans.

He's as much clone as clown.

All the right wing republican radio clown shows are made up entirely of insults, misrepresentations, and outright lies.

[CottonBear]

Syndicated RW radio host broadcasting from WSB 750 AM in Atlanta.

WSB is a Cox radio station and is affiliated with a local network TV station also called WSB (ABC).

Boortz is a chickenhawk who is originally from Texas.

He used to claim to be a Libertarian but even Libertarians don't especially like him.

His one redeeming quality is that he refuses to discuss abortion on his show. He may be pro-choice but the corporate network masters probably will not let him

His sidekick is a black, Hummer driving , Republican named Royal Marshall.
(Don't get me started on Royal and Brenda Skelton the producer.)

Mike Malloy used to have a radio show on this very station in Atlanta until the station went 100% right wing political talk (except for Clark Howard, who I love, the apolitical consumer reporter.)

11. someone should call and ASK MALLOY

weren't Malloy and Boortz on CNN very early for a few w
about 3 or 4 years ago???

[CottonBear]

13. Malloy used to have a radio show on WSB 750 AM & write for CNN.

Mike refuses to do anymore TV appearances with Boortz or any other wingnuts. He said there's no use in attempting to discuss anything logically with these clowns.

When Carol Costello was the CNN morning anchor in Atlanta, she had a segment where Boortz and Malloy came on once a week.

Boortz is broadcast form WSB 750 AM, a Cox station.

12. He has just found his ticket to set himself apart: Flagrant racism.

He is getting more attention than ever, which means more ratings and money. He has figured out an "angle," like Savage with immigration, that is going to put more money in his pocket: Play to the racists. Don't believe me? Check his website today (then take a shower. He will say this is "joking." How very hilarious this is, indeed):

RACIST HOUSE SPENDING RULES SNAG MCKINNEY
Perhaps you didn't know it, but using taxpayer funds for political fundraising is against the rules of the U.S. House of Representatives. It now seems that Cynthia McKinney took $1000 from her congressional office budget to fly Isaac Hayes to her district last year. He was there to be the headliner at a political fundraiser for McKinney. Cynthia McKinney has broken the law. Now it looks like McKinney is going to have to pay that money back somehow. Obviously, this rule is racist. It was put in place to nothing more than to harass black female members of congress and to prevent them from using taxpayer funds to fly black singers to fundraising events. The ugly specter of racism rears its ugly head in America, the land of white privilege, yet again.

RACIST DEMOCRATS SAY MCKINNEY A DISTRACTION

The Hill, a Washington D.C. political newspaper that bills itself "The Newspaper for and about the U.S. Congress" reported yesterday that many Democrats in the congress are now saying that Cynthia McKinney has become a distraction. An aid to one Democrat office holder says "There's been a lot of eye-rolling." A Democratic strategist adds: "This isn't the view of Democrats that we want to project in the tough races, one of victims and race-baiting." The Hill reports that McKinney elicits strong opinions, even within the Democratic caucus.

Obviously these Democrats are closet racists. The accusation that a black female causes a "lot of eye-rolling" is an obvious reference to Al Jolson's racist portrayal of eye-rolling black minstrels in his vaudeville act of years ago. Furthermore, the suggestion that McKinney, a clear and obvious of victim of intense racist hatred and discrimination for her entire life, is "race-bating" is a racist slur of the worst kind. Why can't we all just get along?

RACIST HOUSE SENIORITY RULES DESTROY MCKINNEY RELATIONSHIP WITH PELOSI

The Hill further reports that things aren't going all that well between House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi and Rep. Cynthia McKinney. It seems that when Cynthia was re-elected to the House in 2004 Pelosi refused --- not once, but twice --- to grant McKinney's request to reinstate her seniority. This, of course, was a blatantly racist move on the part of the minority leader, a move designed to keep the black sister down; a move designed to make sure this black female does not gain a position of respect and power in the congress. Pelosi obviously should be investigated.

RACIST ATLANTA COPS HARASS BLACK MOTORISTS ON CYNTHIA MCKINNEY PARKWAY

Reports are starting to surface that white cops have been seen giving traffic tickets to black motorists on Atlanta's Cynthia McKinney Parkway. These cops are clearly racists brutes who are obviously profiling black drivers. They're intentionally focusing on this particular street because it is named for Georgia Democrat Cynthia McKinney. Something just has to be done about these racist cops on the Atlanta police force. Before you know it they will be pulling black motorists out of their cars and clubbing them...
