WTF is wrong with Neal Boortz?

In the April 17 edition of his program notes, Boortz had similarly asked: "Why didn't some of these students fight back? How in the hell do you line students up against a wall (if that's the way it played out) and start picking them off one by one without the students turning on you? You have a choice. Try to rush the killer and get his gun, or stand there and wait to be shot. I would love to hear from some of you who have insight into situations such as this. Was there just not enough time to react? Were they paralyzed with fear? Were they waiting for someone else to take action? Sorry ... I just don't understand."

How far have we advanced in the wussification of America? I am now under attack by the left for wondering aloud why these students did so little to defend themselves. It seems that standing in terror waiting for your turn to be executed was the right thing to do, and any questions as to why 25 students didn't try to rush and overpower Cho Seung-Hui are just examples of right wing maniacal bias. Surrender -- comply -- adjust. The doctrine of the left.

Where the FUCK is this guy even getting his information? I have not heard or read anything like his version of the events anywhere else. Of course people would fight back if they had the chance.

1. Conservatives hiding behind microphones are extremely brave

And does anyone need to wonder why conservatives want people with mental problems to have guns?

2. He sounds

EXACTLY like the guy from the National Review that was Keith's WPITW the other night, who blamed the victims because they didn't rush the shooter.:eyes:

3. First of all, as I understand it,

he opened doors to classrooms and started shooting. I've NEVER heard any tales of him lining passive students up and shooting them. WCTP said one Chicagoland student there was wounded in the leg--now that wouldn't happen if he were lined up against a wall and waiting passively to be shot, would it? And the one professor blocked the door so Cho couldn't enter, taking the bullets meant for his students, who bailed out the windows. And there are stories of students who fell and feigned death when the shots were fired--and lived to tell the tale. Doesn't even sound to me like Cho went over and got close enough to them to see if they were even hit.

This Boortz guy doesn't have his facts straight and has watched too many action movies. Wonder what he would have done if a guy opened up the door of his classroom, shot a whole bunch of times and then left?

4. This is AWFUL!!

5. Boortz is a classic example of MUSS.

Making. Up. Shit. Syndrome.

Then he goes back and quotes himself as if he had reliable info to begin with. Boortz and Fred Phelps should go share a beer together. Seems to me they have a lot in common. x(

edit, can't type when I'm angry

[KingFlorez]

6. So he's essentially shifting the blame from the killer to the victim?

That's how it comes off to me, he's blaming the victims for their deaths.

[LuckyTheDog]

16. Exactly. He says it was their fault

He also seem to imply that the liberal pussies got what they deserved. What an asshole he is.

Did not serve, wants to send your kids to war.

Ugh.

8. Someday Neal Boortz is going to piss off the wrong person.

The way he and Michael "Savage" Weiner diss people so often on the radio they are likely to push someone too far, especially if the offended listener is already emotionally disturbed. What idiots. :eyes:

[Clark2008]

14. Aren't all their listeners emotionally disturbed?

You'd have to be to listen to and believe their shit.

[Canuckistanian]

9. I'm sure Boortz would have rushed the gunman

After all, he's faced this situation a hundred times - in his dreams.

[greenbriar]

12. here is wishing he had the chance to prove he was man enough

to do it ;)

10. I'll be happy to tell you what's wrong with Neal Boortz

Have you got a few days you can spare on your schedule?

Just remember the words of Keith Olbermann: "You can't spell 'Boortz' without 'boor.'"

[gratuitous]

13. A few days? You must talk fast

I don't know if there's enough bandwidth on the internets to list everything wrong with Boortz, so I'll just quote eminent philosopher Hank Hill: That boy ain't right.

[DBoon]

11. fascists worship strength and agression

and despise empathy and justice as weakness

What else would you expect the American right wing to say?

[Ghost in the Machine]

15. you mean *besides* having a last name that's short for Boring Putz??
