Neal Boortz -- TRASHES NEW ORLEANS' POOR!!!
Edited on Wed Aug-31-05 04:13 AM by Peter Frank
You won't find this on his official website -- http://boortz.com (he doesn't seem to have the balls to archive his shows).

I listened to his Monday broadcast where he had nothing but scathing remarks for the poor in New Orleans, who didn't have the resources to escape Katrina's path.

He hates the idea of some Americans being perceived as "less fortunate" than others, because he resents the thought that he might not be thought of as an entirely self made man (got to wonder if he'd have a nationally syndicated conservative radio show if he'd been born poor in a New Orleans ghetto).

What a friggin' insular/insulting myopic social narcissist!!! He deludes himself into believing that by going out on an extreme Limbaugh-esk rant on self sufficiency -- he will do good by awakening a few listeners into realizing their own power; while ignorantly pouring ice water on the confidence of the countless poor folks who are all too familiar with the struggle to break free of their histories.

4. Yeah, this could be the most racist coverage
of a disaster I've ever seen. All day on cable news. White people good, brown people bad.
Just heard a thinly veiled comparison of blacks to rats rising up to the attic as the water rises.

Sheesh......

Wow, I am having extreme deja vu. The initial hit was to the point of intense pain, but now I'm really doubting it. Have I heard that before?
