Democrats more of a threat to this nation than Al Qaeda - Neil Boortz
Yup, paraphrasing, that's more or less what the idiot Boortz said this morning. To believe our young people are being brainwashed by this imbecile. Yet, I hope the American people are smart enough and able to see through this filth and it all backfires on these talking heads come 2004.

1. Who is Neil Boortz?
Is he a pundit or a Wingnut talk show host?

9. Boortz is a total whore
Like Rush, (the former "Jeff Christie" of radio...who didn't become a rightwing trash talker until he was ordered to) Boortz is a whore who will say whatever and do whatever gets the money. He used to be a libertarian. He used to not even talk to male callers about abortion: he'd hang up on them. He'd say "when you get pregnant, call me back." But, that was years ago. Then, the suits told him what he'd say. Bray to the extreme white males who hate everybody who isn't a white male. He says women inflict damage on themselves in order to frame men for domestic abuse. He loathes black people. He lied daily about Cynthia McKinney. He's ill-informed and lazy. He doesn't do homework. He gets by on total blather. But that's fine for his audience; they're as lazy and uneducated as he is.

to this Nation than al qaida. In fact the neocons were asleep at the wheel when al qaida attacked so they are guilty of negligent Mass Homicide.

5. Neal Boortz more of a threat to this nation than Democrats - KamaAina
For one thing, that sort of bilge tends to cheapen the true and actual threat posed by al-Qaida, which we know is still out there 'cause Bush* has yet to capture bin Laden (remember him? What card was he in the deck?)

Remember, you can't spell Boortz without B-O-O-R.

7. He's absolutely correct . . .
from his perspective. Remember, he can only define America in his own terms. He wants, I'm sure, no public ed., no social security, no health care, etc.--all things Democrats hold dear. He sees public ed. as a secular, state run church, a communisitc brainwashing factory. The Democrats, to this guy, are the enemies from within, which is always more dangerous than the enemies on the outside. Al Qaida actually has helped to empower the repubs., arming them with the rhetoric of fear. Democrats are clearly a bigger threat to this guy's America. They want to strip the repubs. of power.

So, yes, Democrats are more of a threat to this "nation" (as defined by Neil Boortz) to Neil Boortz than Al Qaida.

8. Who Boortz is
Boortz is ostensibly a Libertarian that hates "big government." Although he occasionally chastizes religious extremists, Boortz is another one of these self-styled "independent thinkers" that talks a lot about how objective they are, but excoriates liberals all the time. The independent or alternate party label is used to give a sense of objectivity or to avoid the lack of "coolness" with being associated with the right.

10. Substitute the name of any ethnic group for "Democrats"
when these hate-jocks mouth off and see how it sounds. I'm sick of them getting away with this sh*t. It's hate speech, it's lies, it's relentless propaganda.

13. Oh yeah, that's what all the kool kids are doing - listening to Boortz
I've never heard the idiot. But I'm sure he's just like Limbaugh, and idiot with a tiny (average of a 1 or less share) audience of almost exclusively white, middle aged, suburban guys. In spite of his consistently low ratings, Limbaugh is able to stay on the air because the corporations are eager to sponsor him to see that their preferred message continues to get out. Liberal Randi Rhodes gets MUCH higher ratings and they still refuse to syndicate her show.

Thanks for keeping us up on all the RW talk shows. Most of us hate them and never watch them, but you seem to like them very much. Enjoy!

15. Two falsehoods
"Corporations wouldn't sponser Rush if he didn't pull in the ratings numbers. That's the way the free market works. I know, I know. I hate the free market too. "

It is a falsehood that limbaugh has many listeners. For example, in Philly, his average arbitron is about a .7, or .7 percent of the listening audience. It skyrocketed to 1.2 during the war buildup according to this report:

http://www.arbitron.com/portable_people_meters/talk_radio.htm

And I do not hate the free market, very few of us here do. Do you have any idea where you are? This is not the World Workers Daily socialist website, you know.

"This is the kind of stuff Boortz uses on his hate-speech program: inconsistencies and fallacies within our principles and beliefs. We need to keep them to a minimum so he'll have nothing to talk about."

I have no idea what this idiot talks about, and I don't care, because very vew people listen to him. Michael Weiner Savage had a 0 rating at KGO when they canned his dumb ass, and his ratings on MSNBC were the worst on the network. Donahue had the highest ratings on the network, and they canned him to please the missile makers at GE.

I repeat, very few people listen to the hate-radio crapola. A few maladjusted geeks. Your average hip-hop station wipes the floor with the AM talk stations.

18. No kidding. I have no idea what this guy's talking about.
Apparently you're under the impression that everyon here's on welfare or food stamps or something? I can only speak for myself, but I've never been unemployed for more than a week in my life, and I've worked through two Bush recessions now. I'm not wealthy, but I pay my own way, thnk you. I am poor enough that I know a lot of people where a coupl have two or three jobs between them and can barely get by because the pay is so crap. I'm a democrat because I want a strengthened labor movement and a strengthened economy, so that they can get ahead a little. Also, a decent minimum wage.
