Boortz blames Katrina on ‘parasites’ in ‘New Orleans.’

Boortz blames Katrina on ‘parasites’ in ‘New Orleans.’
On his nationally syndicated radio show this week, right-wing talker Neal Boortz attacked victims of Hurricane Katrina, saying that “the disaster that followed” was not “George Bush’s fault” because, in Boortz’ mind, “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.” Earlier in the same show, Boortz claimed that “when these Katrina so-called refugees were scattered about the country, it was just a glorified episode of putting out the garbage.”

Sweet Jesus the right has noo shame!
February 2nd, 2008 at 3:14 pmDoin’ the right proud, Boortz, doin’ the right proud. That’ll show ‘em. The right can hate like no one else, I tell ‘ya. The right can out-hate ‘em all.
February 2nd, 2008 at 3:17 pmSounds like the garbage needs to be taken out.
February 2nd, 2008 at 3:19 pmAnd we shouldn’t wish death upon this @sshole why?
February 2nd, 2008 at 3:22 pmHow nice of a country we live in huh?
Where poor MINORITY people are “GARBAGE”
But hey, God bless America etc. etc.
February 2nd, 2008 at 3:26 pmI’ll send that report to our troops in Iraq and Afghanistan just to let them know what the US thinks of them putting their lives on the line for the United States of America. Many soldiers lived in the Katrina Storm areas. Good to see what it means for those who put their lives on the line for all American people.
It is interesting to hear how people really feel about their fellow American. I will say if minorities don’t pay their fair share of taxes it’s unAmerican. Will the GOP
February 2nd, 2008 at 3:32 pmask for the trash vote?
That guy should have his ass whipped every day for the rest of his miserable life. Any volunteers?
February 2nd, 2008 at 3:32 pmBoortz, himself, the human parasite.
February 2nd, 2008 at 3:32 pmSomeone should put him out with the garbage.
Guess he will not be scheduling an “on location” show in New Orleans.
February 2nd, 2008 at 3:38 pmTypical tactic of the neofascists, blame the victim.
Next he’ll be saying it is the fault of the 1 million Iraqis killed due to the war because they lived there. They didn’t have the sense to get out of the way of horrific violence.
February 2nd, 2008 at 3:40 pmThis man is simply an ignorant and arrogant racist..and his party and whom he works for should be ashamed of associating themselves with him..
I’m surprised that this guy is even still on the air.
If he is defending Bush, using the victims of Katrina..then he is a sick racist.
February 2nd, 2008 at 3:44 pmHe needs to wipe his dirty mouth after blaming victims who were left struggling to fight for life in summer’s heat and almost drowning waiving for help on top of their house roofs,until finally they got help, and large number they did not make it to safety.
Is heartless what is meant by Right Wing these days ?!!
What a delusion of grandeur – truly hope this sad excuse for a human being never, ever has to fall on hard times. Blaming those who had no way of evacuating for not ‘getting out of the way’ of water. Broken levees don’t give you much warning.
February 2nd, 2008 at 3:51 pmTo have no empathy is a very sad, sorry way of living – I don’t know who this Boortz is but his remarks are most telling.
My grad school roomie’s grandmama & her beloved dog died in Katrina’s flooding.
Take this piece of shit & his vomit-worthy show out w/the trash.
BushCo Apologist.
February 2nd, 2008 at 3:52 pmCoward.

February 2nd, 2008 at 3:54 pmI can’t think of anything more parasitic than someone who produces nothing, does nothing, just sits at a microphone and spews hatred with the goal of fomenting hatred.
February 2nd, 2008 at 3:56 pmI always hear people talking about how those in Katrina didn’t leave, so it was their own fault for being in the way of the hurricane. A little history shows why this is such an ignorant premise. During World War II, and again right after the Korean War, Fort Polk (in Leesville, Louisiana) was a major training area. Many soldiers went there to train, many veterans went there to teach, and afterwards, many military personnel retired in that area. However, the area around Fort Polk didn’t offer much in the way of jobs. So these WWII and Korean War veterans made their way further south to areas like New Orleans, Slidell, Kenner, Reserve, and the surrounding area where there was a better economy and lots of fishing. That was more than 50 years ago. Now, in their old age, when they were in their time of need, I guess they thought that the US government might think to help them out. Just a small “thank you” for the time they gave in the service of their country. Although they could once fight with General Rommel in Africa, or under the leadership of General Omar Bradley in Korea, they now are our nation’s elderly. Unable to run, many unable to drive, and unable to get out of the way of the hurricane. With nowhere else to go, and no way to get there, they had only to hope that their government might remember who they once had been. It was rather unfortunate, and ironic, for these retired heroes that their time in need came under the president whose grandfather many remembered.
February 2nd, 2008 at 3:58 pmWhat scum! And what scum sponsors hate-mongers like him!!!!
February 2nd, 2008 at 3:59 pmThank you for posting this, Chris L.
February 2nd, 2008 at 4:01 pmI don’t even know who Boortz is, but I know I don’t like him. If I ever meet him on the first tee of a golf course, I might try to stick his driver down his throat and make it come out of his ass.
Boortz is going for the “negative attention” that makes ass-wipes like Bill O’ and Hannity propular with a certain group of people. So, should someone flatten his nose from ear to ear he should not be surprised – because that is negative attention at its best and just.
February 2nd, 2008 at 4:01 pmNeal “Mr. Current Topic” Boortz, are you going to blame me for living in an earthquake area too?
February 2nd, 2008 at 4:08 pmCan you blame Boortz? He sees the kind of money that gets dumped on a worthless PoS like Glenn Beck and just figures, hey, he can be that obnoxious too! EASY***MONEY!!!
February 2nd, 2008 at 4:13 pmIt’s great to live in America where we have the finest “garbage” in the world
February 2nd, 2008 at 4:13 pmI just get a warm fuzzy when I hear this sh**head spew. Don’t ya just love the compassion and the empathy. Don’t ya just know this is undercover racist prattle!! C’mon man, clean up your act, go to confession and say something nice for a change. We really don’t need any more hateful crap blurted out to add to an already bad situation.
February 2nd, 2008 at 4:15 pmI think that it is just time for a mob to gather and lynch Boortz. Enough of this civil discourse with evil people. President Bush told us how to deal with evil people, preemptively and with great violence. As it should be with our external enemies, so should it be with those internal enemies such as Boortz.
February 2nd, 2008 at 4:27 pmHard to believe, that much hate and evil must be consuming him……Blessings all, we need them.Peace
February 2nd, 2008 at 4:28 pmWe need a DNA check. This guy must be related to Barbara Bush.
February 2nd, 2008 at 4:41 pmYet if Boortz’s house was destroyed in a natural disaster, he like many of the “self-reliance” conservatives would be clamoring for the government to help him out.
February 2nd, 2008 at 4:45 pmWhy do I get the feeling that the stragety for the remainder of Bush’s term is to incite the average Joe here in the USA to the point of taking physical action against some as*hole ranting like Boortz? A reason for the administration to invoke martial law perhaps is what they are looking for. Be careful people, we know Big Brother is listening and reading everything we do now.
However, if someone decides to kick the crap out of one of them, I’m sure there’s the “just snapped” defense that was not a planned or conspiritorial event.
February 2nd, 2008 at 4:48 pmBoortz can be contacted by email through the link below:

I suggest everyone let him know your thoughts about this.

Don’t know how to wipe your a$$, don’t worry !!! The gov will do it for you!!!!
I don’t see why people are so po and can’t do anything for themselves.
You have a black democrat mayor,and a democrat gov.
There should have been no racism, no poor, great schools,and everyone should be getting along.
Isn’t that what Democrats tell us.If they ran things ??

Boortz loves him some Huckabee
February 2nd, 2008 at 5:36 pm#37, are you trying to imitate a Neal Boortz fan? Or are you the real thing?
February 2nd, 2008 at 5:37 pmHere’s the true story on how Boortz lied and decieved the public till he was outed! this is realy what type of person he is!
February 2nd, 2008 at 5:39 pmGo to: johnsugg.com Then click on “ARCHIVES” on the right side of the site.
Click on for the months of Sept and Oct of ‘05
Scroll down thru Sept for the dates of Sept, 26,27,28 and then Oct 11.
Read Suggs articles about Boortz, and then you’ll understand what a lying, draft-dodging,non-college graduate bald headed geek Boortz is!
For many years till he was outed by Sugg and other man, Boortz regularly had lied to his listeners, employers, or anyone that he thought he could impress that he had graduated from Texas A&M in May of ‘67!
He even bought a “Class of ‘67″ ring to show off on May 26,1967 to gold-plate his charade, even though he flunked out, or quit for good June 3, 1967!
He posted a picture of himself and Ga. Gov Maddox sitting together on a plane on his website, (not being smart enough to notice the class ring on his finger) and in the picture what is Neil wearing on his right hand? Could it be a Class of ‘67 Ring?
Embellishing himself around the country by posting in his bios at different radio stations by saying “graduated from A&M in 1967″, which he had to change after being outed to “finished up in ‘67.”
But the grand-daddy of all his lies about himself was that he was 4-F during the Vietnam War because of; (pick one) his eyes or asthma!
When his true deferments came out from the Selective Service, it seems ole Neil had lied to the Selective Service also!
He was in ROTC for 3 semesters at A&M, but dropped out of ROTC and School for a semester but never informing the Sel. Ser. as required by Federal Law. Good ole Neil kept his 1D deferment (for being in the ROTC, which he wasn’t) until 9 months after he had quit or flunked out of college!
Then Neil informed the Sel. Ser. that he had a new daughter and was given a 3A, effectively keeping him out of harms way from Feb of ‘68 on!
Thay’s the type of person Boortz is!
Everyone who is outraged needs to get a list of his advertisers. We allow these people to say these things by not doing anything but complain. Step up now!!!!
February 2nd, 2008 at 5:42 pmCompassion, something BoreTz knows nothing of.
February 2nd, 2008 at 5:42 pmin Boortz’ mind, “the primary blame goes on the worthless parasites
How are these “worthless parasites” any different from Boortz. He’s a useless, no talent “human being” who sits on his fat ass and collects a check.
February 2nd, 2008 at 5:46 pmYou know, the more I think about what he said the madder I become and I am white. I’m going to email this story to everyone my email list. We can not let this stand.
February 2nd, 2008 at 5:48 pmThe only thing Boortz or his corporate bosses will listen to are sponsors who are evacuated from his playlist. Please someone list them so that we can register our distaste for their patronage.

I think it is probably more like dropped by the home school.
February 2nd, 2008 at 6:14 pmWhy is it Ric, we can rebuild Iraq, at a cost of billions, for a people that arent loving us, right now, and ignore people who are Americans?
Do you understand, Ric, that patriotism has nothing, really, to do with wars of choice?
February 2nd, 2008 at 6:16 pmBoortz is just one small step, one baby step away from advocating pre-emptive execution of poor minorities…
February 2nd, 2008 at 6:18 pmComment by Ricl077 — February 2, 2008 @ 6:00 pm
yes, because I’m sure Obama has that surrender treaty he signed with Bin Laden waiting in the wings…
After all his middle name is Hussein. This means he hid Iraq’s WMDs in his secret bunker out in Illinois.

“How dare you suffer a flood, you are worthless, f you!” I’m angry at you for being covered by the news! Go back to obscurity like East St. Louis and Camden!”
I think that’s what he’s saying… poor him, suffering from the disaster because… umm… like 1% of the federal budget goes… umm… he’s the victim, it’s the Gulf Coast residents’ faults! (not the rich ones).
February 2nd, 2008 at 6:45 pmThe sad part is all the sheeple out there, nodding and agreeing with everything this waste of perfectly good oxygen is spewing from his worthless piehole.

Thats another strawman argument, please refrain from that. People aren’t poor because of political ideology and dont sell drugs or buy bullets because of it. Your argument, which is just bias opinion, is flawed on many points

He’s not interested in real discussion, Xisithrus. He’s here either to be disruptive, which he’s good at, or wants attention so bad that even negative attention will suffice.
As far as a valid argument goes, it’d be like a foreign language to him.
February 2nd, 2008 at 7:12 pmIm a moderate, Ric, I used to be democratic, I dont sell drugs, have one child whos grown and supporting herself and pays her own rent, and I dont own a gun and am not a gangbanger involved in drive-buys.
Your argument seems to come from the mouths of crowing craniums [Pundits]

Thats fine, but I think he is showing us the idiocy behind Boortz’s argument and mimicks him. Frankly I dont know why ANYONE would ever act like a pundit.

My oh my, we have either a new creepy troll here or a creepy troll who has been banned back with a new moniker. This one is particularly vile. Please don’t talk to him, that’s what he wants. If you want to comment about his vile statements, talk about him, don’t talk to him. If you talk about him, you marginalize him. If you talk to him, you validate him.
February 2nd, 2008 at 7:16 pmWhy is it that these self-proclaimed members of the party of god are so hateful and apathetic about the have nots? Parasites: I’m sure that’s exactly how Jesus would refer to the unfortune victims of Katrina. Appalling!!
February 2nd, 2008 at 7:16 pmA lot of my family is garbage to this guy? Their homes were wiped out and some had to live in a trailer until they could get a new job and a new house in another city. May Boortz’s house be flooded and let him be spread across the country.

Xisithrus – why are you validating this creep by addressing him directly. It’s pretty obvious he is jut saying the most vile and hateful things he can come up with so that people like you will pay attention to him. If you feel it necessary to address the idiotic statements this creepy troll makes, talk about him, don’t talk to him. By talking to him, you are validating him.
February 2nd, 2008 at 7:19 pmI’m here to expose the hypocrisy of libs and dems..
I’m here to say its not a good thing to have people depending on the government to wipe their butts.
When you spend your whole life depending on the government to take care of you, katrina is what you get.
Goodnight and Good Luck!!!!!!

Here’s hoping they were not living in one of the trailers our government provided them that were filled with formaldehyde.
February 2nd, 2008 at 7:21 pmMaybe we should send Fred Phelps to Boortz’s funeral.

Good bye and good riddance.

Please. Everyone knows that republicans are into that kinky shit. You trying to turn him on?
February 2nd, 2008 at 7:22 pmI’m here to say its not a good thing to have people depending on the government to wipe their butts. -Ric
You havent exposed any Democratic/liberal hypocrisy. What does Halliburton depend on Ric? Government?
What do lobbyists depend on Ric?
February 2nd, 2008 at 7:22 pmNo, Ric, I want you to back up what you came here for. In order to expose hypocrisy you must prove your points.
Heh. But since you run off, I can only think you have no real points to debate.
February 2nd, 2008 at 7:24 pm#100- Why not expose the hypocrisy of the reichwingers and their corporate leg humpers? What do you call the corporate welfare for EXXON after their record profits? How do you like paying double the price of gas since your darling Dubya and the rest of the thugs in his administration started ass raping the American citizen and our constitution. Go back under your rock you bigoted worm. Check the amoung of welfare paid to poor citizens as opposed the military industrial complex and oil companies…if you can read.
February 2nd, 2008 at 7:25 pmAny possibility that Ric IS Boortz? The similarity is remarkable.

about the trolls droll strole down the rabbid hole.
but it’s ok for us to give welfare to the s&L industry, car industry, prime loan idustry, etc.
February 2nd, 2008 at 7:27 pmyes, because they are people, Fred. We are not…
February 2nd, 2008 at 7:34 pmbut it’s ok for us to give welfare to the s&L industry, car industry, prime loan idustry, etc.
Comment by Fred
You forgot the oil industry Fred. Their welfare is massive and their profits are massive. They get it from both ends. We give them tax breaks, they make massive profits and the screw the taxpayer at the pump. What a sweet deal that is.
February 2nd, 2008 at 7:39 pmI wrote a letter saying I’d contact sponsors of the show to express my displeaseure with his comments ((I posted the letter below)) and I received a response that says: “knock yourself out, sport.”

Message:
I just heard the comments you made about Hurricane Katrina victims, calling them “garbage” and “parasites”.
These are some of the most vile comments I believe I have ever heard one person say about another. In the context of the tragedy of those horrible days in the wake of Hurricane Katrina, I can’t imagine anything worse one could say.
It is obvious to me, you and your show provides nothing of value to humanity — not even immature bathroom humor like some of the shock jocks. At least, with Howard Stern and his ilk, you can argue taste. With you, there is no taste, no soul, no purpose.
You are a hateful, horrible person and the people who support this filth and encourage it are no better than you.
I think you should be removed from the air. I don’t believe in censorship, but I do believe in boycott.
I shall make sure your sponsors are aware of your outrageous and irresponsible comments. I may not have the influence to end your time on air, but I suspect I will not be the only one working hard to accomplish it.
Most sincerely,
Kai Thorup,

February 2nd, 2008 at 8:00 pmAs someone who moved right out side of New Orleans right before the hurricanes and have stayed here since I can say Ive seen alot more than most. I not only saw what was on the news, but witness the incident first hand.
I went to New Orleans to pick up some people that had gone to New Orleans to help. When we (me and my two friends) arrived, we were stopped at a police baracade. We showed IDs and were granted entrance in. The polices asked if we wanted a police escort to where we were headed. We declined. They then asked if we had any firearms on us. We responded by letting them know we had a shotgun and a couple 9mm pistols in the truck with us. We were then instructed to hold the weapons out of the truck as we drove inside the city.
Its this kind of thing that makes you realize how messed up New Orleans was and still partly is. I dont blame the police or any other official how can you. People in New Orleans had plenty of time to evacuate, its not like the hurricane showed up in one day. The Pople were given an ability to leave they knew it was coming.
I 100% agree with Boortz, have you ever been to Louisiana at. The people down here are completely like any other kind of people i have met. Not all but a good portion of the people down here want a hand out, people that didnt evacuate, people that just want money. Several people have tried to sue the government for millions of your money, and one person even had the greed to ask for 3 quadrillion. What they need is another hurricane to finish the area off so they can start over.
“The most expensive Katrina claims filed so far against the Army Corps of Engineers – those specifying damages of at least $1 billion each – total $3 quadrillion, according to a thumbnail set of figures released Monday by the agency.”
story at
http://www.nola.com/news/index.ssf/2008/01/katrina_claims_add_up_to_quadr.html
That’s $3,013,283,057,589,910, to be exact. And no cents

Look, I already explained this to you. It is the same argument that you people use to try to deny Americans who desperatly need the help of the welfare system at some point in their life. You say some are abusing it so lets just get rid of the whold damned thing….
problem is your statistics don’t add up. Only a very small percentage of abusers…….if we follow your advice we hurt a lot of people who really are desperate and need our help just to get to the few that are abusing the system…….
besides we have been running on your wisdom for 7 years now and it hasn’t been working….Im sure you’ve noticed all of the things that are not working, right?
Maybe you should be asking us what you should do about your problems………

Something like a combination of the two I think. If you think I am too strong on this, the pundits do talk about actually killing people on air (”it would be great if liberals would just die… someone kill them all” etc).

February 2nd, 2008 at 9:15 pmwhy can’t we just call it hate radio? That’s what it is.
I think the welfare system and other systems like it are great. Give people a hand up though not a handout. Im all for welfare, but keep it strict, mandated drug testing, maximim amount of time you can stay on it. Other programs like hud are also great help, bring in a family that will bring something to the area, people who try to make their situation better.
Had you ever been to new orleans driven through 9th ward. Before and after the hurricanes?
February 2nd, 2008 at 9:18 pmPaulisherman gets his facts from FAUXNOIZ and Rush Limpdick. He is spouting their lies as if he lived them. Typical lying scumbag reichwinger. Think of anything ever said by the reichwing that was the truth, please post it. They have to lie to get morons to go along with them. They are skanky, bigoted, knuckle dragging, trashy, troglodytes…the worst this country has to offer. That is why there are only 28% of them.

Do you have no soul at all sir? These people lost everything to that disaster and you attack them? People wonder what is wrong with America today and you are Exhibit A. We have too many Americans who have no compassion and actively make money off being as inhuman as they can on the air. The fact that you can even sleep at night is frightening.

February 2nd, 2008 at 10:12 pmDoes anyone remember the ThinkFast thread the other day, when I mentioned I saw the Minutemen had adopted the section of highway adjacent to the border checkpoint on Interstate 5? (from today’s San Diego UT):
SAN DIEGO — The American Civil Liberties Union in San Diego is going to bat for an anti-illegal immigration group as is battles Caltrans over the right to pick up garbage next to a North County immigration checkpoint.
The ACLU said it will side with the San Diego Minutemen in the group’s fight to have the trash-pickup franchise and big green sign along Interstate 5 at the San Onofre immigration inspection station.
A federal lawsuit will be filed Monday, and a spokesman for the Minutemen welcomed the ACLU as a potential legal ally.
“If people are surprised, they shouldn’t be,” said the ACLU’s David Blair-Loy in an interview with the San Diego Union-Tribune. “The ACLU defends the Constitution and the Bill of Rights for everyone.”
Caltrans has told the Minutemen that they will be relocated from the heavily-traveled section of Interstate 5 to a comparatively-obscure section of Route 52 near Santee.
Some Mexican-American groups had decried the assignment, and posting of a large sign thanking the Minutemen, next to the immigration stop.
The ACLU however is listed on the Minutemen’s Web site as as an “open borders agent and enemy.” The ACLU has been on opposite sides of the Minutemen in several legal battles.

February 3rd, 2008 at 12:09 amYes, We Can! – Si, Se Puede!
Song & video, featuring a star cast, by will.i.am of The Black Eyed Peas. Inspired by Barack Obama’s ‘Yes We Can’ speech.
http://www.yeswecansong.com
http://www.barackobama.com/
http://factcheck.barackobama.com/
”
It was a creed written into the founding documents that declared the destiny of a nation.
Yes we can.
It was whispered by slaves and abolitionists as they blazed a trail toward freedom.
Yes we can.
It was sung by immigrants as they struck out from distant shores and pioneers who pushed westward against an unforgiving wilderness.
Yes we can.
It was the call of workers who organized; women who reached for the ballots; a President who chose the moon as our new frontier; and a King who took us to the mountaintop and pointed the way to the Promised Land.
Yes we can to justice and equality.
Yes we can to opportunity and prosperity.
Yes we can heal this nation.
Yes we can repair this world.
Yes we can.
We know the battle ahead will be long, but always remember that no matter what obstacles stand in our way, nothing can stand in the way of the power of millions of voices calling for change.
We have been told we cannot do this by a chorus of cynics…they will only grow louder and more dissonant ……….. We’ve been asked to pause for a reality check. We’ve been warned against offering the people of this nation false hope.
But in the unlikely story that is America, there has never been anything false about hope.
Now the hopes of the little girl who goes to a crumbling school in Dillon are the same as the dreams of the boy who learns on the streets of LA; we will remember that there is something happening in America; that we are not as divided as our politics suggests; that we are one people; we are one nation; and together, we will begin the next great chapter in the American story with three words that will ring from coast to coast; from sea to shining sea —
Yes. We. Can.

Sounds like you are attacking the Katrina victims. They are “Walmart aisle wanderers” and it’s safe to assume that a majority of them are Christians. Poor and working class people live in trailers, not the rich. And the majority of NASCAR fans are working class folks. You obviously don’t have any higher opinion of them than Boortz does. ;)
February 3rd, 2008 at 2:30 amNo, the glorified taking out the garbage is the airing of your radio show and the very existence of FAUX News.
February 3rd, 2008 at 2:49 amFirst of all, I’d like to thank all the regular posters on this site. I try to read a few articles on this site a few times a week, and I do not post very often. However, I have to applaud those who day after day battle with nonsensical trolls, and the garbage they spew.
It takes a great deal of effort to dispel the outright lies, racist comments, and idiocy of the trolls who come to this site to be recognized for the asinine, sub-human persons they are.
I commend the regulars on this site who take to time to put these ass clowns in their place.

Frankly, uptight right, I’d rather be a bit nutty than hateful like Boortz and, to a lesser degree, you. But, as a matter of fact, I am quite sane. And you obviously haven’t read much if you aren’t aware of all the government lists of potential troublemakers, such as the “no-fly” lists that include the names of infants and Senator Ted Kennedy, among others.
February 3rd, 2008 at 4:03 amIt is a shame that I was away from the thread when the vile, lying piece of rightwing garbage “paulsherman” showed up to embarrass the human race. Hopefully it will return to the thread and see this comment, so I will give it a try:
Listen up, freak: those people trapped in the Superdome were TOLD BY AUTHORITIES TO GO THERE. They were told they would be taken care of. They acted responsibly by going to the Superdome, expecting that the Superdome would provide adequate shelter, and that they would be evacuated by bus if necessary. The buses never came. Food and water supplies were inadequate. It was a gross failure of FEMA (don’t try to blame it on a city or state infrastructure, when that infrastructure had been wiped out by the storm).
February 3rd, 2008 at 4:25 amWow. Boortz is hateful, but you people are nuts. Is it just the govt that is after you, or are aliens involved, as well? ;)
Comment by upright left — February 3, 2008 @ 2:17 am
Nuts? Really? This is a country where Ted Kennedy, perhaps the most widely recognized Senator in the country, was denied air travel for two weeks because his name was placed on the no fly list. Is that not harassment? This is a country the government of which is listening to everyone’s phone calls (and no, this charge is not in dispute).
Pull your head out of your a**, if you still have the strength to get it out of there.
February 3rd, 2008 at 4:27 amIt is truly amazing that anyone could come to this thread and defend Boortz, yet two freaks did just that. In fact, both freaks actually amplified on Boortz’s sick hatred. They no know shame. And a third troll showed up to mock others for their concern.
I have news for you freaks: your antics are driving people away from your own party. My father, a lifetime diehard Republican who to this day defends Richard Nixon, has left the party in disgust, and it has everything to do with the rightwing hateful freaks who populate the party. I was amazed when he spat out in disgust his sickness over “people who call themselves Republican and act like that.”
Good job, freaks. Way to go. Auto-self-destruct.
As for Boortz, I think the fact that he answered emails sent to him on this topic with childish, snide remarks indicates that our emails have gotten under his skin. This is no surprise, because these hateful freaks are always petty and thin-skinned. Indeed, it is this petty, thin-skinned behavior that drives them. Call it compensation.

Hey, I saw a Mastercard commercial the other day that showed people dancing in the streets in Nawlins. The Superdome was all fixed up, and the Bourbon street was all neat & tidy, and the Saints were Marchin’ IN!!!. The commercial implied that Nawlins was open & ready for business, and all we white folk had to do was bring our credit cards and par-tay!
We are a nation in rapid decline.
February 3rd, 2008 at 9:34 amCourse they didn’t mention to these “whitefolk” they better bring there guns.
Since people are returning to Nawlins the murder rates have gone up.
Good news is people in Houston can fell safe.Their murder rates will go down.
February 3rd, 2008 at 9:36 amAll this serves to demonstrate is that the phrase “compassionate conservative” is an oxymoron — and that once you remove the last two letters from Boortz’s last name, it suits him to absolute perfection.
February 3rd, 2008 at 9:40 am#173 and 175 prove the utter futility of trying to change the behavior of the pathetic and disgusting freaks that troll this site. From the standpoint of our species, they are a pathology.
February 3rd, 2008 at 9:45 amSounds like Boortz is vying for Monday night’s “Worst Person in the World”.
Neal is 100% correct!!
Comment by John Kerry — February 3, 2008 @ 8:53 am
No, person who calls himself John Kerry but who is lying, he is not.
February 3rd, 2008 at 9:45 amBoortz is a typical wingnut coward, spewing his filth from the protection of the corporation, like upright left, john kerry and the rest of the wingnut cowards do on this site. You can be sure that not a one of those wussies would dare say anything like that to anyone’s face, unless they were looking to lose their last front tooth. it’ll be a great day when these little freaks crawl back under their rocks, and gnash their teeth over a female or black Democratic president! Then we’ll have the last laugh, again.
February 3rd, 2008 at 9:51 amHooray for free speech, but boo to whatever lack of education, taste or intelligence led to this particular beefslug speaking as he does. He is utterly revolting.
February 3rd, 2008 at 10:05 amWow, so NB is a chicken-hawk? Nice. I love these fat loudmouthed privileged slobs who have had everything served up to them on a platter their entire lives, talking about other people being “garbage.”
Yeah.
February 3rd, 2008 at 10:08 amSounds like you are attacking the Katrina victims. They are “Walmart aisle wanderers†and it’s safe to assume that a majority of them are Christians. Poor and working class people live in trailers, not the rich. And the majority of NASCAR fans are working class folks. You obviously don’t have any higher opinion of them than Boortz does. ;)
Comment by upright left — February 3, 2008 @ 2:30 am
I was acually describing the typical 28%er who would repeat the non-sense of Boortz, O’Really, Hannity, and Limpdick and then vote against their own self interest. That makes up the group that the trolls are in…too ignorant to know what the hell they are talking about and ready to attack those in the same boat they are in.
February 3rd, 2008 at 10:20 amyeah, the trolls are really swimmin in their own misery. They know it’s over for them and their hatred will be frowned on in the future, not rewarded as it is by the republicans.
I’m with verbalkint, I say let them represent the republicans…..it shows what their party really values.
I leave TP on my computer at all times now and as my college age children and their friends come and go I share things with them….it is eye opening for them….
thanks trolls for being what you are…..
February 3rd, 2008 at 10:26 amBBBOOOOOOOOOOOOOORRRRRRRTTTZZZZZZZ! The sound your arse makes when exhaling gas!!
February 3rd, 2008 at 11:30 amBoortz displays the typical fascist mentality, which simpers and bootlicks authority and viciously attacks others it perceives to be weaker. Nothing new, they’ve done the same to gays, women and minorities for years. If you’re a Nazi, you HAVE to hate something. Sickening to watch, though.
February 3rd, 2008 at 11:46 amIt’s…the…HEINRICH HIMMLER SHOW!!!
February 3rd, 2008 at 12:11 pmFrankly, uptight right, I’d rather be a bit nutty than hateful like Boortz and, to a lesser degree, you. But, as a matter of fact, I am quite sane. And you obviously haven’t read much if you aren’t aware of all the government lists of potential troublemakers, such as the “no-fly†lists that include the names of infants and Senator Ted Kennedy, among others.
Comment by LoraS — February 3, 2008 @ 4:03 am
Senator Kennedy wasn’t actually on the no fly list, now was he? It was someone with a similar name and other criteria that caused him to be delayed. And it was inept govt employees that caused it to happen several times. The post to which I responded suggested that the govt is keeping track of people who post on TP. I hardly think it’s hateful to point out how foolish that is. ;)
February 3rd, 2008 at 2:09 pmNuts? Really? This is a country where Ted Kennedy, perhaps the most widely recognized Senator in the country, was denied air travel for two weeks because his name was placed on the no fly list.
Is that not harassment? This is a country the government of which is listening to everyone’s phone calls (and no, this charge is not in dispute).
Pull your head out of your a**, if you still have the strength to get it out of there.
Comment by VerbalKint — February 3, 2008 @ 4:27 am
Inept govt employees are a fact of life, but not considered harassment. The govt isn’t listening to “everyone’s” phone calls. Get a grip, bud. ;)

I assume this was directed to me. It’s interesting that you suggested that I was “mocking others for their concern.” I’m not the one who used the terms “trailer trash NASCAR morons” or “wal-mart aisleway wandering idiots.” I simply pointed out that poor and working class folks tend to shop at Walmart and attend NASCAR events. And the residents of trailer parks tend to be poor and/or working class. You think those folks would feel that someone who used those terms was expressing concern for them? That’s some kind of bizarro world theory you have there.

Other criteria?!? WTF is that supposed to mean? Flying while a liberal senator? Give me a break, moron. It happened to another prominent liberal senator too, Daschle or Leahy or someone like that.
February 3rd, 2008 at 4:59 pmAnswer this, upright idiot: why doesn’t TSA close a widely publicized loophole that allows anyone on the list to circumvent identification and fly anyway? They’ve left the door wide open, deliberately, for any real terrorist on the list to fly. TSA acknowledges the loophole, but won’t do anything about it. Why oh why do you think that is? Because maybe the list is meant to harass political opponents? Is that why so many anti-war figures are on the list? Because maybe they don’t care about real security?

Comment by upright left —
Whether or not, the person who gets denied access to a flight actually has hi/her name on the “no-fly” list, this is happening far too often not only to liberal Senators but also to infants and other citizens with absolutely no terrorist connections. Moreover, it’s not foolish to think that some posters here are being kept track of by this administration, which loves to wiretap without warrants. Some relatives of mine made Nixon’s “enemies list” over 30 years ago, and what Bush/Cheney have been doing makes Tricky Dick’s days look like child’s play. The only foolishness here is your defense of this corrupt, uncaring administration.

You have every right to condone the use of terms that are derogatory to the poor. It’s just somewhat hypocritical to claim to care for them if you have no problem with the use of those terms. ;)

Another time, the spokesman says, Kennedy was tagged for extra screening under a security system that watches for such factors as a person buying a one-way ticket or paying with cash.
He says Kennedy was never on a “no-fly” list, which automatically keeps a person off a plane.

I offered no “defense of this corrupt, uncaring administration.” I simply pointed out that Senator Kennedy was never on the no fly list and that the confusion resulted from someone with a similar name and/or govt incompetence. You won’t find me defending govt inability. And I don’t doubt that people will be watched, legally or otherwise, who appear to be engaged in more than criticizing the administration. I am seldom surprised to learn that politicians are engaged in illegal activity. The internet is filled with blogs criticizing Bush. It is highly unlikely that anyone on this blog is being watched unless they have made threats.
February 3rd, 2008 at 11:31 pmI am, however, surprised that no one had a problem with the use of the terms “trailer trash” and “wal-mart aisleway wandering idiots.†I’m sure most of the folks that Boortz called garbage are Walmart shoppers. It’s ok for libs to use terms that are insulting to the poor because they claim to care about them?

You’ve got to be very naive or downright stupid if you really believe “It is highly unlikely that anyone on this blog is being watched unless they have made threats.” My relatives some 30 years ago made Nixon’s enemies list just for being part of a group calling for his impeachment–no violence. Likewise, many people actively opposing the Iraq War, Bush/Cheney, and calling for their impeachment are being monitored today.
February 3rd, 2008 at 11:59 pmAs for your last question, I personally do not use such words about poor people nor do I condone them.
Comment by LoraS — February 3, 2008 @ 11:59 pm
Unless a list is somehow made public, we won’t know if TP bloggers who rant about Bush are on any watch lists. We’ll just have to disagree about that. As for the derogatory terms, of course, you’re aware that I didn’t suggest that you use them. Just pointing out the hypocrisy of someone using those terms in a thread about Boortz saying abusive things about the poor.

So you are under the impression that the 28% who support Bush are largely poor and working class people as opposed to the wealthy? And trailer trash is an acceptable label for poor people who support Bush, but not for poor people who don’t support him? Trailer trash is not a term used to describe one’s political leanings. Did you see the thread a while back where libs were saying conservatives always say things were taken out of context to get out of having said something stupid or offensive?

You show me where I’ve defended Bush’s irresponsible spending and the Iraq war and I’ll take responsibility for it. I’m not a Republican, I’m an Independent. I vote for the candidate with whom I agree on the most issues since I never agree with them on eveything. I know, some libs here will call me a fence sitter. They are like the far righties who think you have to agree with everything they do or you are agaisnt them. Now that we’ve settled that, how about addressing the issue of the lib who used the offensive terms “trailer trash†and “wal-mart aisleway wandering idiots†while claiming to care about the poor. The hypocrisy of libs in regard to issues like this makes people wonder just how much libs actually care about the poor. Makes it seem like you care enough to give them welfare, but they certainly aren’t good enough to associate with you. ;)

February 4th, 2008 at 10:36 amBoortz’s this morning had answers for everyone who gave him, Mr. “who has a head shaped like a” Piss-Pot, a bad time! Check out his whine at Nealz Nuze!
In one of his last sentences he whines about how terrible the crime was on a cruise ship docked in Mobile, for Mississippians who had lost everything!
Goggling the Mobile Police Dept Crime Reports I came up with this dilly , a month after the storm!
From Sept 17 – Oct 17 27 arrests were reported amongst the 1400 on the ship:
4- Domestic Violence
February 4th, 2008 at 10:44 am3- Disorderly Conduct
6- Public Drunkenness
11- Drug Related and one “Felony Poss. of Cocaine
3- Arrest Warrants, one for Forgery, no reason for the other two!
Ya Boortz! It was a Crime Wave of unimaginable proportions running amuck thru out the ship!
Seeing how most if not all the people on the ship had lost everything they owned, except the clothes on their backs, it looks like they handled themselves pretty well!
But Boortz true to form, couldn’t report anything truthfully cause it would make him look like a even bigger wad of syphilitic cum, dripping on a outhouse wall!!

Dang, bud, your ability to continue to respond without addressing the offending post is impressive. You were off on your last two posts, though. You lost your composure a little and this post is just too far off the mark. You see, bud, I never mentioned anyone having insulted me. Insult away, I can take it. No, the posts in question contained terms that are derogatory toward poor people on a thread condemning Boortz for saying derogatory things about poor people. ;)
February 4th, 2008 at 2:56 pmafter scanning the comments I have two of my own my friends.
February 4th, 2008 at 5:43 pm1) Exactly what did this Mr. Boortz say that was incorrect? Storm coming….get out of dodge. If you read the papers, and follow the news what he is saying is happening. Perhaps his personal comments ARE over the top, but on the facts he appears to be correct. People in New Orleans DID sit and wait for help instead of taking personal responsibility. And in places where they went, crime did go up, and people who were charitable are now finding their appartments trashed and having difficulty getting rid of them.
2) I find it ironic that the same people who accuse this Mr. Boortz of hatefullness are also dripping with venom when they refer to him. Shouldnt we take the high road and feel bad that he doesnt get it? You dont do our side any favours when you crawl down in the gutter too. All you do is make yourself look like and uneducated moron
Is this sort of incitement really tolerated under the Christian values we practice here in America? And then we are going to have people commenting here, who want to be taken seriously, looking past this guys racist, bigoted, hateful remarks to suggest that they see he had a point? Beam me up Scotty!
February 4th, 2008 at 10:49 pmHow is speaking the truth about people, and as a group they happen to be of a certain race either racist, biggoted or hateful? you have just gotten so deep in your conviction that there is not any room for a reasonable conversation. While I tend to agree overall, I only hope that I dont become so consumed by my convictions that I cannot see things as they are
