Neal Boortz tweet: "I have Democrat Underground panties in a wad. Gotta love it."

This, I assume, is because some took issue with him saying the president's private (and truthful) remarks on bullshitters were classless. (On edit: He read a post about his calling Gloria Allred a publicity whore. I think the title is better attributed to Trump.)

Let's set aside the fact that using Democrat instead of Democratic makes him sound like an uneducated twit. Instead, allow me to ask him a few other things ...

Where was he when Romney said that 47% of citizens were just takers, including the disabled, elderly, and veterans?
Where was he when Rush Limbaugh called Sandra Fluke a slut on national radio?
Where was he when Dick Cheney told a senator to "go fuck yourself" on the floor of the Senate?
Where was he when Todd Akin coined the monstrous term that is "legitimate rape?"
Where was he when Richard Mourdock said children conceived in rape were gifts from God?
Where was he when Scott Brown mocked Elizabeth Warren's heritage, and lied about her hiring actors for asbestos commercials?
Where was he when Brown's staffers continued the racial epithet by war whooping and other stereotypes?
Where was he when Allen West began his continuous stream of hate speech, which continues to this day?

Where were you on those, Mr. Boortz? That's just a very, very partial list, by the way. Compared to these facepalm inducing remarks, Obama pointing out that kids are good at perceiving liars seems more than classy enough.

EDIT: I find it relieving and satisfying that so many don't know who he is. Ha! He's a talk radio host.

EDIT #2: You know what? I had suggested that people tweet him with our favorite classless Republican remarks, but I removed that from the main post. People are right that he's seeking attention he doesn't deserve. He wants the panties, let him have 'em.

Thu Oct 25, 2012, 01:53 PM

entities don't have panties,
entities don't have a conscience,
entities don't have a soul,
entities don't have humanity,
entities don't have empathy,
entities don't have a nationality,
entities don't have a religion,
entities don't have loyalty

However sometimes the people who participate in an entity have one or more of the above.
Its not clear that GOPpers have conscience, soul, humanity or empathy
And its very clear that party is more important than nationality. for the GOP
