That’s “Boor” with a “t-z”
Neal Boortz can’t help being nakedly racist on the immigration debate:
BOORTZ:During the warm-up hour of The Neal Boortz Show, we came up with a marvelous suggestion for solving two of America’s problems at the same time: disposing of nuclear waste and doing something about the illegal aliens in this country. And that is, if the evil listeners to talk radio can just succeed in killing the amnesty bill, or if we can at least succeed in getting an amendment to the bill that says before you can get a visa to work here, you have to go home. OK? Then all of the Mexicans who are here, as they leave the country we can give them a lovely parting gift, like they do on Jeopardy! We can give them a little — yeah, a little bag of nuclear waste from one of our nuclear power plants or maybe one of our nuclear military vessels.
Give ‘em a little bag of nuclear waste as your lovely parting gift. AMF, which means “Adios, my friend.” Send them back across the border to Mexico. Tell ‘em it’s a tortilla warmer. You know, to put it in the tortilla box, and the tortillas stay warm. And then they will. And you’ll be able to find them at night too, because they’ll glow. And this will be a big hit.
Maybe Boortz has been swimming in reactor coolant at the Savannah River Site for too long. It’s the only thing I can think of to explain both this and his earlier “kill all the brown people” insanity:
BOORTZ: OK. I’ll give you one practical answer to that. You load illegal aliens on a plane, and then all the Mexican government has to do is deny that plane permission to land in Mexico.
CALLER: Ever hear of parachutes?
BOORTZ: Uh-uh. [Caller], that’s not gonna happen. We’re not –
CALLER: I know that.
BOORTZ: We’re not gonna throw these people out of airplanes with taco-shaped parachutes. They will — I’m sympathetic with your point of view. They will self deport.
Is that what the kids are calling it these days? Well, welcome to the Klan, Neal!
