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.

Rhodes is on here in Baton Rouge during my evening commute home. During that time there is absolutely no/nada/none local commercial time sold. I was under the impression the only thing radio had to sell was time. Doesn't say much for her commercial appeal that's for sure.

If you played a drinking game while listening to her show and took a drink every time she said "Frickin'", you would be schnockered within the first 30 minutes.

I stopped doing that after the Bill Clinton farewell address. Everytime he said I or Me, you had to take a swig of beer. It lasted about 12 minutes and I was blasted by the end.

She was whining on Monday that she had troubles getting through security at the airport. It seems her name was on the no-fly list.

That should be Randy Rhodes. Ozzy's guitar player who, you guessed it, died in a plane crash.

"Why is Air America still on?"

George Soros needs somewhere to throw all his money away.

one gets you death threats the other just a smirk.

BIG difference, hardly a draw.

Perhaps we should photo shop Mz. Rhodes with Mr. Bombhead cartoons.

Well speaking about the TV show, I never understood Springer's appeal except the guys working the offshore platforms loved it. But then they believed professional wrestling was real too...

I'd go hide in my bunk and either read a book or watch " The X-Files", which at least was a bit more intelligent than the mosquitoes outside. Plus, I've always had a thing for Gillian Anderson. ;^)

It must be an investor ponzi scheme


AND

They have gulible hosts who are willing to contract to perform for "a percentage" of the profits. No profits, no cost.

...Rhodes claimed Boortz referred to muslims as "ragheads"...

Why, that's ridiculous. Everybody knows they're not ragheads...they're towelheads.

She's doing what lesser radio talkers do all the time - trolling for more listeners by generating a conflict with a more popular host, hoping he'll mention her on his show.

Boortz should just leave her twisting in the wind and not say another word.

"a new 4 year contract with AirAmerika."

Wow they must really be delusional if they think they're going to be around for 4 more years...... I guess they have to go through the motions, but aren't they constantly on the verge of financial collapse? Maybe the Soros fringe will bail them out again.

I never understood the idea of a Springer radio show. It would be like in the old days of radio if they had a "Three Stooges" radio show. Visual gags don't translate at all to radio.

I almost forgot to comment on the real subject of this thread. I saw the LKL show. The libs think Rhodes cleaned Boortz's clock. They had to be watching a different show than the rest of us. She was pathetic. Even Larry had to make her put a sock in it.

Just shows what kind of amateurs AA has. If it was Rush making the kind of assertions she did, he would have had audio and direct links available to back up his statements, not guesswork like Rhodes wrongly did.

I really think that SOROS is going to bankroll that pathetic network until after the 2008 elections.

I think he HOPES that the progessive message from those stations will affect the elections...

That is the ONLY reason I can think of.

'rag-pickers' traditional beggars have opted for rag-picking


Most of the rag-pickers are extremely poor, illiterate, and belong to rural immigrant families. Many commence their profession at the young age of five to eight years. Most of them never attend any school or have any formal education. Most of their families are in need of extra incomes from these young children
