1. I was listening and it was great

That Boortz is the biggest blowhard around and Al skewered him with truths.So he hung up!

[ResistTheCoup]

3. It was fantastic!

Blowhard is right! What a whiney, lying, crybaby Boortz is. Like somebody said on the Franken blog: lying about someone on national TV (like Boortz did about Franken) is "fine", but pulling a gotcha about that person lying is "over the line"!? :eyes:

Then Boortz says he has to get off the cell phone while he's driving because he's a safe driver. I guess that first 15 minutes he was driving/talking was in another life! He's not just a liar - he's a BAD liar.

The O'Franken Factor has posted the clip from today's show because of the great response they got from listeners. Everyone who hasn't heard it should check it out.


Go AL!!!!!


:headbang: :headbang:

2. "I asked him to ask the show"

OMG...he pwnt Boortz.

[JHBowden]

4. I'm not supporting Nader's agenda.

The Republicans? No thanks.

[billbuckhead]

6. This makes up for all the times I've tried to get on Boortz's show

Don't believe he doesn't screen callers. Try yourselves.

Although in fairness, Boortz has a disclaimer on his show that says that he may not be telling the truth.

[Nlighten1]

21. Hmmm

You are obviously ignorant on many level making such comments.

[kaitykaity]

5. I can't get the blasted thing to play.

:argh:

I have WinAmp, and it's usually pretty good, but
this clip just sits there.

:grr:

[ResistTheCoup]

7. Sorry!

If you don't have any luck - PM me if you want and I can try to email it to you. I got it in Winamp and it's 1.39 MB.

Let me know!

[kaitykaity]

9. I downloaded it fine, it's 1.34MB.

I plug it into the player, and nothing.
Strange. Maybe there's a setting I can
switch?

[ResistTheCoup]

13. Maybe try and reboot?

Damn windoze! Curse you Bill Gates!
:mad:

[kaitykaity]

15. Boortz calls it playing gotcha.

Boortz calls it playing gotcha.

But if Boortz had admitted he was wrong during his first or second appearance on Al Franken's show, he would have come across much better.

17. Al Franken is very impressive.

Neal was weaseling. He couldn't talk directly about the issue at hand which was the fact he got caught lying. So how he tried to weasel out of it using re-direction was very interesting.

[Eric J in MN]

20. The phrase "I was wrong" would have gone a long way.

The phrase "I was wrong" would have gone a long way, and let them go on to the next topic.

I wonder if the possibility of saying "I was wrong" ever occurred to Boortz during the conversation.

[Postman]

18. Boortz and the entire rightwing are slimeball liars...

the truth only matters if it happens to favor THEIR argument otherwise, deny, deny, deny.

Even when they are caught red-handed in a lie, they act as if they did nothing wrong. Why not take some of your own advice and take responsibility for your actions, you f**king scumbag hypocrites.

Fascist lying bastards. I'm a liberal who believes in the 2nd Amendment. Catch my drift?

[ALago1]

19. Haha

A smackdown worthy of Webster's!

[ejwilliamson]

22. Response

Al Franken wouldn't last two seconds with Neal in the studio. Lest anyone forget how Neal absolutely sent Bill O'Reilly into a fit of apoplexy when he was 'invited' onto the No Spin Zone.

I can see where many folks here might take issue with Neal, but if you read his site and his stance on issues, you might realize that he also shares much common ground as well. He has been known to criticize Republicans as well, especially when they get into their prayer in schools, Christian Coalition mode. Neal is also pretty vocal about ending the war on drugs, supports gay rights, absolutely refuses to give anti-abortionists any play on his show, and he likes to anger what he calls the "Bible Thumpers." He also was a very vocal critic of Roy Moore and of posting the Ten Commandments. Neal even went so far as to castigate the current President for increasing the size and scope of the federal government and for increasing discretionary spending 13%. He even made the statement that if not for the War on Terror, Clinton was a more effective President. Boortz voted for Harry Browne in 96 and 2000, so he is not the Republican mouthpiece many folks here seem to think. So what if he disagrees with the socialist views many here like to promote. So do I, but I respect your views and your right to do so. Oh yeah, I am a libertarian if you hadn't figured that out yet. LOL

Why is it that because someone is a Hollywood celebrity that so many people automatically assign credibility to him? Franken has a quick wit, to be sure, but that hardly makes him a font of political wisdom.

[Avalon Sparks]

24. Thanks for posting that ejwilliamson....

It is something to think about. That's probably the reason he agreed to appear on Al's show anyway. He's a more reasonable guy then any neo-con, and it's been my opinion that almost all Libertarian's are cool about social issues.

The Limbaugh's, the O'Reilly, and the Savage's know their bullshit can't stand up to a fact checking, so they will NEVER agree to appear on Al's show - too afraid of being busted on the air.

[Rationality]

39. He's a stealth neo-con. Gave his show a while... he's no different

than Rush Limbaugh.

26. Franken's credibility stems not from his celebrity status

but because he's (usually) RIGHT. I wouldn't expect a self-proclaimed Libertarian who admires Neal Boortz to agree with that, but that's MY take on Franken.

[PretzelWarrior]

27. apparently this guy likes to lie though. that ain't good.

don't you hate it a guy you listen to and look up to was in a position to be caught because he repeatedly lied as he attempted to paint Al Franken as a wuss?

Sounds like old Al or even Stuart Smalley could hold his own with this guy.

[Eloriel]

28. He's also a terrible racist, and sexist too

Tho he IS good on domestic abuse and rape issues -- that I'll give him.

[CatWoman]

30. Hi, E!!!!!

:hi:

long time no see :D

p.s. Boortz is a loudmouth, bigoted, punk ass gasbag.

[Eloriel]

50. Couldn't have said it better myself

31. Socialist views on the DU?

Neal is a loudmouth whiner who never misses a chance to blame any issue on Liberals, or Big gub'mint!

[Postman]

32. Why do you assume he is liked because he is, as you say, a Hollywood celeb

How about his sane, rational and truthful analysis? Why don't you read his book - Lying Liars. It makes a great gift.

[Rationality]

37. You and Boortz are LINOs.

Neal Boortz is the textbook example of what I call a "LINO" (Libertarian in name only). He will make occasional rants against the Republican stance against marijuana and drug use, but will more often - way more often in fact - support Bush's foreign policy and military buildup, which is contradictory to true Libertarianism. I remember him doing a skit as well where he read off the "most" and "least generous metropolitan cities" in America. Of course, he said that there was a "correlation" between the top cities (Salt Lake City, Dallas-FT. Worth) and their Republican populations... you know where this is going.

Take your Neil Boortz libertarianism Republicanism elsewhere.

[Kool Kitty]

53. Why is it that because someone is a Hollywood

celebrity that their credibility is immediately questioned? (Unless, of course, the celebrity in question happens to be a Republican, like Mr. Schwartzenegger. Or Bo Derek.) Franken has a lot more going for him than a quick wit. Try reading one of his books.

[Delano]

33. I hate to agree with Boortz, but...

Boortz is a pig. I hate his show. He did lie in the clip, but Franken blows it SOOO out of proportion. He should have said. "Okay, I think you told a fib here, but let's move on to some substantitve issues..." I understand that Boortz was trying to put a negative spin on Al and AAR, but Al wasn't getting that point across. He sounds like he's being a baby. If he's gonna play "gotcha", it had better be on something a bit more meaningful than this.

The point on Garofalo/desegregation was a bit better...

[CatWoman]

34. As I indicated above, I listen to Boortz almost every day

and he slimes and slanders Al Franken and AAR almost every day.

He's a lying pig.

His pet names for Kerry are "the poodle" or "the souffle".

Oh yeah -- he slimes and slanders Kerry almost every day, too.

[PretzelWarrior]

35. no. you catch them in every single one. nail them.

if you let one go...then you let another one go. he is doing this country a service. I'd say the mediamatters.org website got off the ground because of Al's book and how popular it's subject matter of systematically exposing rightwing lies affected people.


The guy who started mediamatters.org already had those ideas percolating, but Al Franken gave the idea currency. We need much, much more of this.

Hell, I don't even care if the right holds the left to such high "truth standard". They should.

[Delano]

45. Yes, but...

My gripe is more on how much time he dwells on the rather dull subject of Boortz lying about a small thing. He caught him, he should've said "Gotcha! You lied! Let's move on to the next thing." That's my biggest gripe about Franken in general, actually. He drags EVERYTHING out about twice as long as it needs to be.

[Eric J in MN]

47. If Boortz said, "I was wrong," that would be one thing.

If Boortz said, "I was wrong," that would be one thing.

It was because Boortz refusd to say, "I was wrong" that the issue went on so long.

[mountainvue]

36. Boortz

was pissed. He accused Al of sandbagging him.

[kaitykaity]

38. What, nobody's called Boortz a cunt yet?

Called him a pussy, called him a twat. Come on,
let's have the trifecta!!!!!!!!

:puke::puke::puke:

[Rationality]

40. Can I call him a poopy-head? ((n/t))

[CatWoman]

41. NEIL BOORTZ IS A CUNT!!!!!!

there!!!!

:D

[kaitykaity]

42. Gawd, if that doesn't get Admin's attention, nothing will.

:evilgrin:

[Rationality]

43. deleted.

[kaitykaity]

44. I was way past offended at "pussy" and "twat" but

the moderators and administrators appear to be on
vacation, so I thought I'd take the thing all the
way and really dust things up.

[Rationality]

46. I remember having an argument with you on this...

For the sake of saving my own ass, I will refrain from discussing this further.

[Must_B_Free]

48. What if

a gay man called him a Pussy - is that OK?
What if he were called a dick - is that OK?
What if he were called an asshole - is that OK?

[rumguy]

51. Boortz has a clit for a head and a vulva for a brain

[WLKjr]

49. Bhahaaahahbahhahbbbbbahhhhhhhhaaaaaa

Al, you just ownzed Boortz's ass!

Get over it....lol hahahahahaha just admit you lied why wont you?? lol bhahahahahahah

holy shit, this is whipping my ass im laughing so hard I can't type
llol


This clip just made me want to listen to the O'Franken Factor even more! I even invested in XM for my car so I could listen.

Geter' done AL!

[AtomicDog]

52. The issue

This is Neil's response.

http://boortz.com/nuze/index.html

I don't get why Al focused on this one thing. Why not address the issues facing America? I am listening to Al's excuse for the Democrats and the civil rights vote. The democrats still have a bigot in office. Robery Byrd. Also, in the 1940's the Texas democrat party went to the supreme court to defend their policy of not allowing blacks to vote in primaries. The democrat party does have a bad history on civil rights.

[kaitykaity]

54. Do some reading, some homework.

Educate yourself.

Then come back here and read some more. You might
actually learn something.

Boortz lied. Al caught him. Made him so mad he hung
up the phone. Poor, poor baby. :cry: That's what
happens to conservatives when the venture out beyond
the protected walls provided by their call screeners.
