Neal Boortz said he is to appear on today's O'Franken Factor
earlier today he was trashing Air America Radio and Al.

Says Al is an idiot, whose show won't last thru election day.

He's also gleefully spreading lies about AAR's financial situation.

I hope Al rips that lying sack of shit a new one.

I remember Boortz getting all huffy and bolted from the studio when he appeared on Phil Donohue.

He can't stand the heat when he's not in a controlled enviornment.

5. Just a few minutes ago
Edited on Thu Apr-15-04 11:28 AM by CatWoman
Al said he would be talking to Boortz about the tax code :shrug:

on edit -- I think I know what this is all about. From Boortz's website:


Here's a little more information for you.

Jim Watkins is the program director for my affiliates in Naples and Ft. Meyers, Florida (WINK-AM and WNOG-AM). Several weeks ago he contacted the people at Air America to inquire about putting Al Franken somewhere on his radio station. Watkins remembered Al Franken from his Saturday Night Live days and felt that he might be entertaining and could draw an audience.

So ... Watkins gets an official from Air America on the phone. The Air America official asks Jim what other programs they carry. Jim starts rattling off the names. Boortz, Limbaugh, Savage .... At that point the Air America official says "Stop." He then informs Watkins that they won't allow their programming to air on WINK and WNOG. And why not? Because "We don't want our programming stained by being on a station that carries Rush Limbaugh."

Is that not amazing? Liberals are complaining that their voices aren't being heard on talk radio. They get a big donation from some liberal in Chicago .. and they set out to create a liberal talk radio network. At last, the liberal voice will be heard! Then they get a call from a radio station that wants to give these great liberal voices an audience in Southwest Florida .. and they say no! Why not? Because they don't want the same people to hear Rush Limbaugh listening to Al Franken. I wonder why that would be? Could it be because they know that their liberal message will not survive exposure to Limbaugh? Could it be that they know the liberal message only gets a foothold when there is nobody around exposing the lies, the half-truths and the complete lack of common sense and logic?

Air America ... destined to fail. Bad idea, bad management. Al Franken won't last till the election.

7. exposure to Limpballs?
I think one is more likely to get prostate cancer, or get busted for illegal prescription drugs. Or would the brainwashing cause crossed wires and too many dittohead suicides? Reserving comment, because I'm just so sick of these RW putz I would only NOT piss on them if they WERE on fire...

6. O'Franken said Boortz will be on the show.
This is good. AAR is showing they can do what Rush and Hannity can not do: Defend there point of view against someone with more courage and fight than an Alan Colmes.

8. You remember correctly
Neal had a snit and stomped off the set of the Phil Donahue show. Like most wingnut barking heads, he couldn't handle being in a situation where he couldn't mute the opposition when things weren't going well for him.

12. i think one of the reasons
that Al is having Boortz on is because Boortz doesnt like O'Reilly, some dust up last year reagarding the segregated prom in Georgia and Boortz gave Blow a bitch slap on his regarding Bill's own racially insensitve comments.
