I will lie to you. Don't believe anything you hear on The Neal Boortz Show, unless it is consistent with what you already know to be true, or unless you have taken the time to research the matter to prove its accuracy to your satisfaction.

Boortz

Neal Boortz is yet another right-wing radio talk-show host broadcasting out of Atlanta on WSB (whiny son'bitch) on the Jones Radio Network ("jones" being the operative keyword").

[edit] Pronunciation

"Boortz" is pronounced like the word "booze" while burping after six beers.

[edit] Personal life

Being bald, Boortz qualifies as a skinhead, a rare case of right-wing truth-in-advertising. He's a personal friend of Sean Hannity who abandoned his neo-Nazi pal Hal Turner in favor of less controversial associates. While Boortz isn't openly racist, his utter contempt for and hatred of the poor and middle class seems to suggest otherwise. Also, his not-racist credentials are easily put into question due to his labeling of Katrina victims as "parasites", calling a black congresswoman a "ghetto slut", and being a former speechwriter for racist former Georgia governor Lester Maddox. [1]

Boortz is an amateur pilot, loving the feeling of looking down upon the rest of us.

–– Little ants, yes, they all look like little ants.

[edit] Political affiliations

Boortz claims to be a Libertarian, although no one has been able to identify anything he has in common with real libertarians. He certainly was not a supporter of Libertarian candidate Ron Paul in the 2008 elections.

[edit] Comments

Boortz continues to push freedom of speech by saying Rep. Cynthia McKinney "looks like a ghetto slut.",[2] As well as calling her the "the cutest little Islamic jihadist",[3] call the victims of hurricane Katrina as parasites,[4] call Islam is a "deadly virus",[5] and suggest that Katrina victims turn to prostitution.[6]

[edit] Positions

Boortz is a major proponent of the war in Iraq which we're going to win any day now.

Boortz is ruthlessly abusive of anyone who suggests the US economy is in trouble.

Boortz is a vociferous supporter of the cynically named FairTax, designed to be the largest redistribution of wealth from the middle class to the wealthy since Reaganomics.

[edit] Warning label

Boortz regularly warns listeners not to believe everything they hear, that he will lie to them. For some reason, the gullible believe everything he says except this disclaimer. Ironically, this is one of the few times Boortz tells the truth.
