Boortz: "[P]rimary blame" for Katrina goes to "worthless parasites who lived in New Orleans"

[RedEarth]

Summary: On his nationally syndicated radio show, Neal Boortz made disparaging remarks about Hurricane Katrina victims, stating, "When these Katrina so-called refugees were scattered about the country, it was just a glorified episode of putting out the garbage." Boortz also described New Orleans as "a city of parasites, a city of people who could not and had no desire to fend for themselves."

1. Well, isn't that nice.

I know people who'd agree with him too.

[Adsos Letter]

2. And how is Boortz anything but a parasite?

He should have to explain that...

3. He's right about one thing.

There are worthless parasites in New Orleans. They have lived off the labor of others for generations. First it was free labor, then menial labor courtesy of Jim Crow.
But they didn't live in the ninth ward.

6. who are these maggots on the radio?

where did they come from? who listens to them? sometimes I think the days before the internet
were better because I am getting so disillusioned by the people of America.
I thought people were like me and my family. Honest, hardworking, kind, but now I'm
seeing a side of some people that I never know existed. Some people's minds are like a snake pit.
