Though he’s not a part of the upper echelon of right-wing extremist mouthpieces (Limbaugh, Hannity, O’Reilly), Neal Boortz is just as looney. This week, he really went far, far out into right-wing nutjob land with his attack on lower class U.S. citizens. A sampling:

Everybody still living in a hotel or trailer after Hurricane Katrina, no votes, can’t vote again, ever, ever. Everybody living in Section 8 housing, should not, nobody living in Section 8 housing should be allowed to vote, and don’t give me this elderly, if you’re elderly and living in Section 8 housing, you’ve done a piss poor job of planning your life, no vote for you.

He also says, “We have to do something to get the fools and the ignoramuses out of the voting booth in this country.” I concur. Let’s start with all the raving, lunatic, right-wing nutjobs.

No, I don’t really believe that. Unlike the far right, I believe all American citizens deserve the right to vote. But, I do believe that people like Boortz are a cancer that stand in the way of social progress. On every major security, social and economic issue, the right is the wrong side to be on. Boortz and his ilk continue to spread their vile message, but I’m confident that history will prove them to be the backwards tools they are.

You can hear more Boortz inanity on this from an audio of the broadcast over at Politicususa.com. I would declare that what Boortz has to say is mind-boggling, except that I’ve been desensitized to conservative stupidity to the point that it barely registers anymore on the shock meter.
