As the fourth anniversary of the Hurricane Katrina disaster approaches, hate-radio talk show host Neal Boortz mocked President Obama’s pledge to rebuild New Orleans, calling the victims human “debris.” This weekend, President Barack Obama told the New Orleans Times-Picayune that he “remains focused on rebuilding New Orleans and the Gulf Coast,” and anything less “would be a betrayal of who we are as a country.” Boortz responded on Twitter by attacking the “debris that Katrina chased out”:

Boortz has also called the overwhelmingly black, poor victims of the Katrina disaster in New Orleans “human parasites” and “deadbeats,” even suggesting that a victim of Hurricane Katrina consider prostitution instead of “sucking off taxpayers.” Although Katrina’s devastation cost this nation $80 billion, killed thousands, and displaced a million people, Boortz believes “Katrina cleansed New Orleans.”

3. as I mentioned in another thread - boorz has a clause in his contract

where he must draw a certain number of negative calls or emails. He purposefully tries to antagonize as many as possible to maximize the calls to complain about his behavior.

The way to get to him is to ignore him - not to complain.

4. Not suprising at all, as he more or less hates...

... anyone who is not a right-wing, war mongering libertarian like himself. I'm sure he also has woven some conspiratory theories around the Katrina situation, as that is just how he rolls!

5. he's a fucking neocon who is chickenshit to admit it.

the libertarians i know are social liberals, anti-war, and basically only disagree with me on corporate regulations / social programs.

on the other hand, there are a lot of neocons who want to avoid the destroyed republican brand so they can appear "independent."

bullshit. they are still neocon republican assholes.

8. You're right on there

, otherwise he would be for less government everywhere. At any rate, Bortz is one paranoid and hateful SOB! The few times I've heard him on the radio, every other sentence begins with "the Democrats this or the Democrats that". He blames everything on the Democrats- everything!

6. Neal Boortz is a piece of human debris.

The unfortunate thing is that because Katrina and the flood caused many New Orleanians to scatter around the country, those still in the far-flung communities have no way of coming together and forming a cohesive interest group and, being poor, lack the funds to do so. Hence, unlike many other groups in this country who, were some talk show host to denigrate them, would be able to hound the talker out of a job, the New Orleans diaspora does not have the power to do so. So Neal Boortz is assured of being able to go on his merry way because he won't reap any consequences from attacking the powerless.
