County Fair: Boortz on swine flu: "What better way to sneak a virus into this country than to give it to Mexicans?"

Boortz: "Muslims, making tortillas? ... [W]ith all of the illegal Mexicans in this country, we can't find some Mexicans to make those tortillas?"

Saying he was cited by "Media Morons," Boortz again smears Mexicans: "[A]ny Mexican worth his salt would be able to" operate a floor buffer "without getting hurt"

Boortz's commentary on his inability to use a floor buffer: "I would make a lousy Mexican"

      Sure, no problem, as soon as we rename 'cancer' to 'conservatism'.

      Never mind Mexicans, how about humans.   That is, so last century.  Boortz and others are good, at talking.  Highchair comments bring out the best in bullies.  Self-rewarding resentment is all sore losers can muster.  A scared following is easily manipulated.  There is no whip guiding this 3/5th man.  The land of the whip will not silence, crying voices.   Study, communicate, and Vote!

      That's a pretty racist thing to say. Can rightwingers say anything without insulting someone?

        Snoopy, Boortz and Limbo and the face of the Republican party.

        And they wonder why their approval rating is 20%.

          In this day and age, media goes global.  Such comments as this are not little inside jokes among conservative brethren, as much as they would like them to be.

          Racist comments and anti immigrant rants in the face of this global disaster do not reflect well on who we are as a people.  This kind of thing does way more damage to our reputation than Obama mentioning what the rest of the world already knows:  That we have tortured and we have been arrogant at times.

          Right now Mexico is suffering from this.  It is also going to have a horrible economic impact long afterwards.  Using this disaster to score anti immigrant debate points or worse is deplorable.  Lord knows how outraged Bortz and his buddies would be if such rhetoric came from overseas while we were suffering with a disaster.

      I used to think bigotry was learned but the more I hear or read about these wingnuts I am beginning to believe there is a BIGOT gene.

      Boortz,

      You might want to re-think your insults.  Fajitas were invented in Texas:

      What! You mean the swine flu wasn't named after Neal Boortz, a mediocre talker from Atlanta? 

      The "Boortz virus" is a deadly virus that spreads hate and racism. If not caught in time, it will lead to the destruction of this nation. Remember, this is the guy who's friends with Sean. They both think alike. Sick boys.

      Advertisers, already suffering in this weak economy, will abandon his show in droves. They can't afford to associate their brand name with a nut like Boortz.
