Neal Boortz threatens legal action against left wing extremist Randi Rhodes.
Neal Boortz Radio Show ^ | 8-25-06 | Arcy

Posted on 08/25/2006 10:26:39 AM PDT by Arcy

Nationally syndicated radio host Neal Boortz stated on his show today that Randi Rhodes might find herself in court if she continues to tell lies on the air during her radio program.

Since the two appeared on the Larry King Live show a few weeks ago, Rhodes has been obsessed with Boortz after he made her look foolish on national television. At one point Rhodes claimed Boortz made a statement about Muslims that Boortz said he never made. Boortz then issued a challenge to Rhodes with a $5,000 bet. Rhodes accepted the challenge and then told Larry King and the viewers they could find proof of her claims by simply going to the "Media Matters" web site. Later Media Matters issued a statement that it had no documentation to back up the claims made by Ms. Rhodes. For those who are familiar with Rhodes, this was not a suprise. It's extremely rare for statements she makes to be accompanied by with any supporting evidence or proof. In her world, emotion trumps fact.

According to Boortz, he and his family have received death threats due to lies told by Rhodes on her failing radio show (Air America has to pay stations to carry her program). According to Boortz, Rhodes has been making statements she says Boortz has made regarding Muslims.

Transcripts from the Boortz show reveal that Rhodes claims were incorrect. Boortz is still waiting to recieve his check from her.

OMG...sounds so familiar. I called her show one day and started to talk about an article relating to Clinton allowing illegal immigrants into this country with felony records and before I could finish she hung up on me and took the next caller. The next caller proceeded to immedately comment that she wishes people like me would just be killed....upon which Randi and her caller laughed.

Wikipedia says: Randi Rhodes, born Randi Bueten.

I viewed a documentary about the making of Air America a few months back. Rhodes had a big part in the movie. She does not come off as one of the brightest libs you'll find. And that's saying it mildly.

Rhodes claimed Boortz referred to muslims as "ragheads". Typical ridiculous charge, it was easy to see how artfully Boortz outclassed her on that show.

I believe he used the word ragpicker, which means unskilled labor, and she jumped to her own conclusion about what he was saying.

"I read the other day that Randi got a new 4 year contract with AirAmerika..."

Sorta like being granted a lifetime travel pass on the Titanic.

Soros is propping up Air America and no one knows why.

His life goal is to reduce the United States to a second rate nation. Fortunately, Air America is such a money pit that it may be keeping his resources from more effective ways of acheiving that goal.

Wikipedia says she married Jim Robertson and her present name is Randi Robertson.

Is there any truth to the story that she went AWOL from the Air Force after two years and the AF declined to prosecute and just let her out instead (this was during Jimmy Carter's presidency)?

To pay the rent, Rhodes worked as a secretary for three years and was miserable. In her quest to get where she is today, she also has been a truck driver and a disc jockey. However, the most life-changing period, she said, was the two years she spent in the Air Force. There, she learned to love and respect herself, to value herself for her brains. She learned that looks and the ability to apply makeup didn't really mean as much as she had previously thought. In 1973, she was named outstanding Air Force female.

Despite all that she learned in the Air Force, a man with whom she shared a rocky relationship ended her Air Force career. He was, according to Rhodes,"somewhat insane," and insisted that they leave the Air Force without notice. He threw their belongings in the back of their truck, and they headed for Ohio. The Air Force was so embarrassed that they let the matter drop and did not seek to prosecute the couple for going AWOL.

And was she really one of the Outstanding Airmen of the Year? Or is she lying about that? It would be easy to check that out. The article says 1973 but she joined the USAF in 1977 according to Wikipedia.

AWOL. Remember that the next time she comments on the TANG memos.

Why is Air America still on?

Define "on". Error Amerika can barely be classified as "on" anywhere.
