Boortz: Faced with an impending national disaster, "we should save the rich people first"
More: Media MattersOn the October 14 broadcast of his daily radio show, right-wing radio host Neal Boortz stated that if the country is faced with an impending national disaster, it should make it a higher priority to save rich Americans rather than poor Americans.
An October 13 New York Daily News article spurred Boortz's comments. The front-page story, headlined "Rich Got Terror Tip," reported that the U.S. Department of Homeland Security has launched an investigation into whether its officials alerted certain New Yorkers of a terror threat to the city's subway days before the rest of the city learned of the possible plot. According to the article, the probe was launched after the discovery of two emails describing the bombing plot that "had been sent early last week to a select crowd of business and arts executives by New Yorkers who claimed to have close connections to Homeland Security."
After summarizing the story, Boortz responded, "This is as it should be." He went on to imagine a scenario in which the country is forced to "set some priorities" regarding who will be notified of an impending disaster. "We should save the rich people first," Boortz declared. "You know, they're the ones that are responsible for this prosperity." Boortz described the poorest Americans as "a drag on society" and stated that they "don't achieve squat. They sit around all the time waiting for somebody else to take care of them. They have children they can't afford. They're uneducated. They can barely read."
What ever happened to 'the meek shall inherit the earth", "Blessed are the poor in spirit", and "Woe to you rich"?

Who cares? Seriously. No one else in this forum gives a rat's ass what this guy had to say.
What a ing goober.
Yeah, just like nobody cares what Louis Farrakan has to say, but the Repugs have been play his comments off like he's the official spokesman for the Congressional Black Caucus.
Michael Moore and Cindy Sheehan speak for all liberals
this guy and Falwell speak for all conservatives
simple
Somewhere, Dr. Strangelove is smiling.
everyone should freaking be prepared to save themselves... those waiting for the govt. to come save might be in for a freaking surprise.. so the moral of the story, better have a plan in case the crap hits the fan.....
I don't have a problem with it.

So then what the "Repugs" do is fair game?
Anyways, what appears to be keeping a number of talk radio hosts in business are the foolish people who hate them listening in...

Never heard of Boortz, he doesn't get any airtime or press around here.
Me neither.
Pack some Spam in your survival kit.....you'll have food for years to come.
I think he was playing on the religious right, and not meaning it literally.
I notice anytime a conservative makes an outlandish comment, he's just a nut, and noone cares about him. Someones gotta care, and it isn't NBADAN. I don't know of too many daily radio shows, that have no fan base.
