i agree wholeheartedly, curm…after all, free speach guarantees the exchange of ideas and ideals…it doesn’t always work the way it’s supposed to becuase of too many close-minded individuals, but we can’t have everything, can we?

I believe in the First Amendment, hite - It’s the biggest, baddest weapon our forefathers gave us to stay free. That’s why it has to be protected, even for speech we disagree with. Especially for speech we disagree with.

Right, Curmudgeon, on Boortz. I was just cracking wise (or not) about Tasha’ comment # 25.

In that we agree, hite-
No matter how hateful, mean-spirited, or twisted I think some of these ‘broadcasters’ are, they are absolutely, undeniably, and thankfully protected by the First Amendment; and any government interference or forced “fairness” is wrong through and through.

meh…it isn’t about who’s more hateful, or who’s more popular…what it’s about is a stations’ right to air whom they want without governmental interference…i enjoyed limbaugh simply for the parodies while clinton was in office, but find him seriously lacking without a target in office…i thought tony snow was a very good speaker, and didn’t go too far to the right…i remember some extreme left talk show host somewhere back east when i was driving over the road that simply called anybody even remotely close to moderate a brain-stem, and found it amusing as all get out…kinda like a revers hannity, ya know?…just wish i could remember the name, cause tho i don’t agree with the ideologies, that dude was funny…as for boortz, he can be entertaining, but i have heard him attack both sides and parties, so i don’t really consider him anything more than a complaining entertainer

XSBC:

I’ll grant you, Michael Moore is exactly as you say. We agree.

But Boortz, hating everyone equally? Baloney. His rants are Far Right-Wing, pure and simple. He only rants against the Right when they’re not ‘Right Enough” for him.

Fair enough; Limbaugh, Hannity, etc. get more air time, and Michael Moore is an Oscar-winning propagandist. Obnoxious speech is indefensible whether on the left or the right if we want to be consistent. Boortz is to be admired for being fair . . . he hates everyone equally.

Tasha:

NEAL BOORTZ:”That wasn’t the cries of the downtrodden. That’s the cries of the useless, the worthless. New Orleans was a welfare city, a city of parasites, a city of people who could not, and had no desire to fend for themselves. You have a hurricane descending on them and they sit on their fat a$$es and wait for somebody else to come rescue them.”

NEAL BOORTZ:”It’s Ramadan and Muslims in your workplace might be offended if they see you eating at your desk. Why? I guess it’s because Muslims don’t eat during the day during Ramadan. They fast during the day and eat at night. Sorta like cockroaches.”

Yeah. Definitely sounds like a middle-of-the-road kinda guy to me.
