Someone wants WSB radio personality Neal Boortz dead.

A security official for WSB, Alexander Shapiro, phoned the complaint in to police last week, saying that someone is harassing the radio station's conservative commentator by going to WSB's Web site and sending messages to him.

"Those messages state that the sender wishes Mr. Boortz were dead," according to an Atlanta police report.

Shapiro told police Wednesday that he doesn't know who is behind the nasty e-mails; they come from an "undisclosed" address, the report said.

1. Bullshit

I say he's either doing it himself or has hired someone to do it.

[AlCzervik]

3. "the call is coming from inside the house"

would not surprise me in the least, probably some poor intern.

[Richardo]

16. HA!

:hi:

[Octafish]

36. Probably from Boore-tz himself.

"Lookit me! I'm so brave and oppressed!"

6. everytime I see your name, I think of this guy

:hi:

18. "A Bob Clampett car-toooooOOOOON!"

17. "Some say" he would do such a thing.

:D

[bryant69]

20. That's about what i expected. n/t

[Richardo]

22. You're a little sensitive about this aren't you?

He a friend of yours?

"Based on what evidence" :eyes:

[asthmaticeog]

23. How sensitive can a toolshed be?

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

35. Speculation on a plausible scenario. What's wrong with it? And let ME speculate further

It may be a right winger doing it to boost Boortz and make liberals/leftists look bad, without Boortz's knowledge.

I, too, have no evidence of that. I only maintain that it's plausible, even a reasonable bet.

[devilgrrl]

2. Boortz is sending himself death threads?

I wouldn't put it past him.

[Occulus]

4. Conservatives really don't know how to use the internet, do they?

You would think the IP address of the sender would be in their logs, wouldn't you?

[ProdigalJunkMail]

27. and anyone worth their salt can cover their tracks... n/t

[Mist]

5. I gotta say, my first thought was "he's doing it for the attention," but if the threats

are NOT Boortz' doing, he should still be used to it--when he had a weekly column in Atlanta, threats were par for the course, supposedly.

[napi21]

12. I never even knew he had a weekly column! TG it's gone! It doesn't

surprise me that people threaten(d) him though. He almost as bad as Rush, and I'm positive Rush gets LOTS of threats!!!

[Mist]

15. Boortz lives in and broadcasts from Atlanta. He had a column in the

weekly indy Creative Loafing, of all things. He was too openly hate-filled to get into the regular newspaper.

[bowens43]

7. wishng someone is dead is not a death threat.

[angstlessk]

8. Unless the man has a genie he can conjur from a bottle, a wish is NOT a threat

sorry, that does NOT constitute a threat by wishing someone is dead..hell three women were killed by ex's in one week in one town, and they were INDEED threatened, but the cops could do nothing..this is just hogwash for attention!

[CatWoman]

9. happy now?

[gratuitous]

10. Oh yeah, May is Sweeps Month

Gotta impress those advertisers so they'll pay hard cash for soft shit.

[CatWoman]

31. hi sweetie

:hi:

:loveya:

[gratuitous]

32. Hey good-lookin'!

Always nice to see you. :hi:

[hlthe2b]

11. Has he self-mutilated himself to reflect the "threat" as per

Morton Downey Jr? They all turn to the same bag 'o tricks, it seems when their careers are dying...

[proud2BlibKansan]

14. I don't support death threats against anyone

But Boortz is an ass.

[KG]

19. cool!

[sinkingfeeling]

21. Since when is 'wishing' for something a threat?

[lpbk2713]

26. He's a provocative individual in a provocative business.

Why would he not expect that sort of thing? :shrug:

Oprah, Martha Stewart and Garrison Keillor get threats all the time
and they are not anywhere near as provocative.

[BrotherBuzz]

28. Every radio talk show host worth their weight in salt receives death threats

Only personalties that are dropping in the polls announce them to the public. An act of desperation I'd say.

[KamaAina]

30. Well, at least we know it wasn't a New Orleanian

'cause they're a bunch of worthless parasites who can't even wipe themselves.

:sarcasm: :sarcasm: :sarcasm:

On the January 30 edition of his nationally syndicated radio show, while discussing former Sen. John Edwards' (D-NC) then-upcoming announcement that he was withdrawing from the 2008 presidential race, Neal Boortz asserted: "But I am fed up with this conventional wisdom that Katrina and the disaster that followed was George Bush's fault. It was not. The primary blame goes on the worthless parasites who lived in New Orleans who you -- couldn't even wipe themselves, let alone get out of the way of the water when that levee broke." Edwards made his withdrawal announcement in the city of New Orleans.

Earlier in the show, Boortz described the city of New Orleans as having been, prior to Hurricane Katrina "a city of parasites, a city of people who could not and had no desire to fend for themselves." During the show, Boortz also said, "When these Katrina so-called refugees were scattered about the country, it was just a glorified episode of putting out the garbage." Responding to a caller who said she used to work for the post office and claimed that "he people in New Orleans were waiting on their government checks. They weren't moving until they got them ... trust me. As a mail carrier, they were waiting on their checks," Boortz stated: "Well, I don't know if -- you see, I don't think they were waiting on their checks before they would evacuate after a flood. But I do think, I do think that their entire lifestyle prior to Katrina was sitting around on their asses and waiting for checks."

:grr: :banghead: :nuke:

I do NOT wish Neal Boortz dead. Death is too good for this total waste of oxygen. Waterboarding, anyone?

[ima_sinnic]

33. boortz is a pompous-ass gasbag who believes himself important enough to receive death threats

in yr dreams, you slimy cockroach! nobody would risk being arrested and incarcerated for an insignificant slug like you. Your dreams of being a glorious martyr are just more of your nauseating, narcisstic, overinflated-egoistic delusional sludge. Up your meds, cretin.

[RamboLiberal]

34. Does Boortz carry a gun?

Seems like a number of the RW hosts like to brag they do.

And will he fight back? This was the asshat on the Virginia Tech massacre:

How the hell do 25 students allow themselves to be lined up against the wall in a classroom and picked off one by one? How does that happen, when they could have rushed the gunman, the shooter, and most of them would have survived?
