      Would Boortz have worded his comments the same had he been accusing Hilary Clinton or Nancy Pelosi of stupidity? Or Michele Bachmann? Or Kay Bailey Hutchinson? Or Sarah Palin?

      It's obvious what Boortz was trying to convey. As is often noted here, it's just a matter of time before the N-word is thrown around as a descriptive word by some right wing talkers. Not one of them yet has the cojones to be the first one to cross that line.

        Irony, we agree with you in that these Republicans (Right-winged, Conservative Independents and Libertarians) just can't wait to "publicly" call Pres. Obama the N-word, LOL.

      The real question is how does a nutcase like Boortz get national radio show?

        How does Glenn Beck get a nationally televised show? Or Sean Hannity...? Because obviously there are people who subscribe to this nuttiness...and who are walking around passing as normal people.

      As with Breitbart, who is this schmuck, and why does it matter what he thinks?

      And, Social Security and Medicare are strong. So Boortz is the one who should be cleaning restrooms, but it's probably above his skill level.

      Racist SOB!
      And by the way cleaning restrooms is still a step above of what Michele Bachmann should be doing. I wont go into details but it involves a bucket and sponge in a mid town Manhattan peep show/porn booth

      Neal Boortz? The same tool who called the victims of Katrina 'debris', saying that rebuilding New Orleans would only cause them to return?

      Mr. Boortz, you are a racist and an idiot. Why do you insist on continuing to prove these things publicly?

        He's just another poor victim of his ideology. He has no choice but to have contempt for any political opponet. He has given up freewill, this attitude has entered into the realm of instinctive behavior.
        Like that of nearly all of the repulican noise machine.

      Boortz lives in a fantasy world. I remember a few year ago he wrote a long screed about how Dems were racist phonies because they didn't support Condoleeza Rice's nom for Secretary of State.
