Neal Boortz was teetering on the edge of Crazy Canyon, and the election pushed him over....

We’ve been cataloging the sorest of the sore losers on the right after Barack Obama’s reelection, and now add to that nationally syndicated conservative talk radio host Neal Boortz, who is retiring next year to be replaced by failed GOP presidential candidate Herman Cain. On Twitter this morning, Boortz equated Obama with Al Qaeda.

Congratulate Obama on his victory?Let’s congratulate Al Qaeda while we’re at it. Same goals.

In follow up Tweets, which he’s since deleted, he defended the assertion: .....................(more)

1. Why is it that the radicals always say something stupid

and then delete it? Do they think that if they delete it that they never said it? What a bunch of morons.

2. Ah, yes, one of the authors of the "Fair Tax", celebrated grandly by idle wealthy Repubs.

Listen to Boortz? Let's listen to the people behind Citizens United while we're at it. Same goals.

3. I'd never heard of this guy before yesterday

But there was a great link at Kos to a 15-minute part of yesterdays show: http://www.boortz.com/Player/101701171/

He's so crazy and insane and evil for 3/4 of that but goddamn if he isn't dead on when it comes to the social conservatives. I'm starting to see what the right wing sees in these radio nuts. When he was railing about something WE CAN AGREE WITH, it was goddamn invigorating

[yashoo]

5. not trolling btw

Kindly ignore the suspicious fact that a link to some right wing radio wingnut is also my first post IT JUST SHOOK OUT THAT WAY

[Indpndnt]

7. I never heard of him until recently, either, when he apparently mentioned DU.

He's just not that well-known or of any significance.

Welcome to DU, yashoo!

4. I hope he keeps it up all the way through 2014

...as long as they keep the crazy coming, their pathetic little party keeps getting smaller.

6. We heard GOP members Tuesday night say

"The terrorists win."

8. I believe that Boortz has a congenital brain defect. nt

9. He's been really pushing the

"Fire the Obama voters" as well on his show. Has been for months.

10. Al Qaeda celebrating the reelection of the guy who tracked down and killed their leader?

amazing how the right wing forces themselves to forget certain things which happened.

And Boortz is a right winger, no doubt. He declared himself a Libertarian, but he's just basically a Republican on drugs. Favors every right wing talking point except legalization of drugs.

11. We killed Osama on Obama's watch - who's siding with the terrorists again?
