Sorry but his deep, vile hatred of God and pro-lifers was way beyond over-the-top and indicative of a mental and intellectual derangement.

[faucetman]

Good riddance.

Boortz was a Pro-Abortion, Pro-Homo, liberal lawyer in sheep’s clothing. Good Riddance to bad trash.

NARAL is losing a strong ally on America's airwaves.

Thanks for saving me the trouble of typing that :-)

[Jacquerie]

Yeah, years ago I got tired of his cheap shots directed at Christians, his support of fag marriage and fetus murder. AMF

[fwdude]

True. He had the unusual guts to buck political correctness, but his value system wasn’t much different from the Left’s.

I actually loved listening to Boortz. He used to pummel the liberals that would call. Then the day after the election, he blamed conservatives for Romney’s loss. Didn’t listen to a single word he said after that. Same old story, the Republican Party forced the nomination of the blandest, most moderate to liberal man in the field. But conservatives and Christians were to blame, not, for instance, his wife, who was constantly pushing Romney.

I didn’t agree with Boortz’s stands on homosexuality, abortion, and a number of other subjects, but he did represent the only real, logical alternative to conservatism: libertarianism. I will hasten to add that I am not a libertarian and repeat I do not agree with their positions on many social issues. But they do try to argue their points logically and unlike emotional liberals and leftists actually use facts to back up their arguments. And there are many issues where conservatives and libertarians agree. I would trust a professed libertarian pol a lot quicker than I would a liberal. As long as it’s not an anti-Semite like Ron Paul.

I lived in Atlanta for a long time and followed Neal from his early days. We are about the same age. We crossed paths many times. We both grew up in Pensacola. I never met him but would love to.
That being said I never agreed with everything he said. He used to say and would hang up on anyone who started off saying I agree with you 100%, His saying was then one of us is not needed and it ain't me.
His stance on abortion was to NOT DISCUSS IT. He realized their are kooks on both sides and you will never change either mind. He was not anti-GOD he was anti right wing religious nut who thought they knew exactly what GOD wanted. He was just as rough on anti-GOD people.
I will miss Neal, Herman will make a good replacement.

But what made Neal Boortz the best to ever preside over the phenomenon America now identifies as "talk radio" was his razor-sharp mind and equally sharp wit.

Easy enough when the top of your head sharpens to a point.

I always loved listening to him when he was on the air in my area(a few years).

Of course, I didn’t agree with him on EVERYTHING, but as he would tell anyone, if you agree with him on everything, you have serious mental issues.

[Tenacious 1]

I listened to him on and off. I dissagreed often but respected his position.

He did hate: 1) Hunters 2) Fat People 3) Bible Thumpers.....

[eddie willers]

He was not anti-GOD he was anti right wing religious nut

You are right and probably remember when he thought "Home Schooling" was only done by the snake handler types.

He changed his mind and that's when he started ragging on "government schools" and imploring people to home school in they couldn't afford private school.
