A-boortz-ion

It would be hard to find someone on the far right as despicable as radio host Neal "This Can't Be Real" Boortz. In a recent broadcast, this bottom-feeder said the disastrous response to Hurricane Katrina was not the fault of Dumbya, and called the victims of Katrina "worthless parasites" who wouldn't get out of the way of the hurricane. "It was just a glorified episode of putting out the garbage." Actually, the only garbage was coming out of Boortz's large mouth.

This is the kind of hate speech on right wing radio that passes for commentary today. The similarities between it and the broadcasts coming out of Nazi Germany in the '30s and '40s are significant and real.
