On the August 14 broadcast of his nationally syndicated radio show, while discussing the alleged “Islamization of Western Europe,” Neal Boortz claimed that because “Muslims don't eat during the day during Ramadan” and “fast during the day and eat at night,” they are “sort of like cockroaches.” Boortz was discussing reports that a group of government-run hospitals in Scotland had instructed employees to eat away from their desks during Ramadan so as not to offend their fasting Muslim colleagues. Immediately following the remark, Boortz said, “I did that for Media Myrmidons” -- his term for Media Matters for America -- and added, " 'Neal Boortz refers to Muslims as cockroaches.' Yeah, that'll be on Media Myrmidons."

Boortz went on to attack Media Matters President and CEO David Brock and said, “Those of you that are going to send that transcript to Media Myrmidons, don't forget to ask, you know, don't forget to ask David up there how's his girlfriend Hillary and George? How they're doing, you know? Hillary and George?” Boortz was apparently referring to Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton (D-NY) and financier George Soros.

Media Matters has documented Boortz's past attacks on “Media Myrmidons,” as well as his previous references to Brock as “the illegitimate bastard child of Hillary Clinton and George Soros.”

The Georgia Association of Broadcasters awarded Boortz and his radio show the honors of “Best Radio On-Air Personality” and “Best Radio Program, Any Type” in 2007. Boortz is a nominee for the Georgia Radio Hall of Fame 2007 Career Achievement Award. Boortz's flagship station is WSB in Atlanta.

From the August 14 broadcast of Cox Radio Syndication's The Neal Boortz Show:

BOORTZ: The Neal Boortz radio show. Before we get onto the phone calls, one more “inch by inch” story, the Islamization of Western Europe. And it's happening here, too, in this country. Footbaths for Muslims. Government schools with separate prayer rooms for Muslims.

It's just -- OK, we're going to go the National Health Service in Great Britain. Now, remember, it was just a couple of weeks ago that we had doctors working, Muslim doctors working for the National Health Service in Great Britain who were plotting to blow up a bunch of Londoners. One of them slammed a car into the Glasgow airport. They got caught, folks. Car bombs, car bombs. They got caught. The car bombs didn't go off. I guess Muslim doctors aren't all that good at rigging explosives. Working for the National Health Service.

You would think maybe that the National Health Service in Great Britain would be looking really, really closely at its Muslim doctors and Muslim employees, but that would be racial profiling, and we can't have that, can we? Instead, the National Health Service and at least one London hospital, Lothians -- Lothians, whatever. In this one hospital, they have advised doctors and other health care workers that next month they are not to have working lunches. Now, what do they mean by a working lunch? That's where you bring your lunch from home or you bring in takeout and you have lunch at your desk. So, next month, National Health Service -- at least at this one hospital -- you are not permitted to have lunch at your desk. Why not? Because it's Ramadan, and Muslims in your workplace might be offended if they see you eating at your desk. Why? I guess it's because Muslims don't eat during the day during Ramadan. They fast during the day and eat at night. Sort of like cockroaches.

I did that for Media Myrmidons, OK? I -- they're sort of like cockroaches. “Neal Boortz refers to Muslims as cockroaches.” Yeah, that'll be on Media Myrmidons. Those of you that are going to send that transcript to Media Myrmidons, don't forget to ask, you know, don't forget to ask David up there how's his girlfriend Hillary and George? How they're doing, you know? Hillary and George?
