Bigot right-wing talk show host Neil Boortz fantasizes about killing young blacks and Hispanics

[Hugabear]

This morning, I happened to be listening to Boortz when he started complaining about crime in Atlanta, talking about graffiti, "thugs", etc. First he suggested that Atlanta residents should carry concealed weapons and take the law into their own hands. Then he even fantasized about rigging "bait cars" with poison gas, saying something along the lines of 'you'd only have to get rid of a few of them and they'd learn'.

But then, just in case his racism wasn't clear enough, he decided to spell it out plain and clear. The problem with Atlanta, he explained, was with young black and Hispanic men. So when you take his earlier statements about fantasizing about killing car thieves and shooting criminals, combine that with his statement about young blacks and Hispanics being the problem, how is that not crossing the line?

If you feel this sort of hate-speech is completely unacceptable, please feel free to contact his flagship station's management - http://www.wsbradio.com/contact-us/

1. What Boortz said doesn't distress Cox Radio at all

He'll keep his job, maybe even get a raise.

6. Perhaps his sponsors aren't so blasé about bigotry & calls for violence

especially when the threat of boycott is hanging in the air. It worked against Beckerhead, after all.

2. done

3. He had some choice words about the victims of Hurricane Katrina as well.

I see he's keeping true to form.

7. How I remember! Neil Boortz makes Rush look like a 'librul'

We evacuated from NOLA to ATL. I had no idea who Neil Boortz was then. We were listening to WSB AM radio for news reports when we were driving around ATL, picking up things we needed.

During those days right after Katrina struck and the levees failed, we heard Boortz insulting New Orleans and people who lived there. I don't even want to repeat what he said. He is a racist pig.

8. yep, i remember that

What a vile evil person

4. Vile scum

5. Does he have a book coming out or something?

He sounds like he's trying to win Ann Coulter's heart.

I've heard of Boortz, but can't say I know a thing about him other than he's a world-class bigot, but not a really well-known one. I'm sure he's popular with the white-sheet crowd and the Nazi wanna-bees.

9. WSB is right-wing hate propaganda 24/7. Boortz is pretty tame compared to some of the dickbags they

contaminate the people's airwaves with.

10. The whole purpose of talk radio is to piss you off..

If you agree with the host you get pissed off because he's telling you outrageous stuff.

If you disagree with the host you get pissed off because he's lying through his teeth.

Either way you are more likely to keep listening.

Boortz says this explicitly, or used to back when I listened to him, he used to be a funny asshole back before he got syndicated and well known, now he's just an asshole.
