Neal Bortz' last show today...

[mocgator]

A wonderful insensitive conservative mind. The leader of the Church of the Painful Truth. His last show is today then Herman Cain will be doing the show. Neal will be missed.

To be honest .. the final retirement decision wasn’t made until last November 7th. When I saw that the voters in this country had reelected this unqualified disaster to rule (his words) over our Republic for four more years, I knew that was it for me. Obama is a destroyer. A sneering, menacing, arrogant destroyer – and I’m not going to let him destroy the rest of my life. I simply an NOT going to be one of his “tax the rich” victims.

The solution is simple.

Stop earning.

Minimal income, minimal income taxes. Live off your investments. I’m ready. From my standpoint, Dear Ruler, your tax increase reduced revenues. It certainly didn’t increase them. I have many personal friends who are in exactly the same boat and have made the same decision. I don’t belong to Obama, and I’m not going to work 50% of every working day for him. I’ve escaped --- as of noon today.

First of all, I’ll be doing daily two-minute commentaries for WSB. They will run at 8:45 am and 6:45 pm, and I promise the same dose of insensitivity in those commentaries as I’ve been delivering in my show for these many years. Those commentaries, by the way, will be available to affiliate radio stations if they should want them.

Secondly .. There’s Twitter. Twitter will now become the main platform for my interaction with my former listeners. That’s the best place for us to keeping touch. You can follow me at @talkmaster. I promise you’ll enjoy it.

Nealz Nuze? Yes … we’ll be keeping that up. I will constantly be posting material. Whenever I get ticked off at something, you can bet that I’ll sit down at the computer and put my feelings on “paper.”

Columns? Yes … I’ll be writing for Townhall.com. Be sure to check in there. I’ll Tweet the link every time something appears.

Fill-in? You got it! I will be Herman Cain’s regular fill-in host. Sean Hannity has said that I’ll have the opportunity to fill in for him as well. There are others, but best not to name them now.

I’m joining the folks at FairTax.org to start promoting the FairTax again. Keep your eye on Twitter and Nealz Nuze to see what’s going on.

So .. there you go. I’m hardly disappearing. I’m just clearing out much more extra time for me and The Queen.

Another low life championed by the right.

I will give Boortz some credit for occasionally breaking with the right on some issues like guns and Terry Schiavo. But he was usually just over the top ridiculous, full of the vitriol and sometimes dishonesty that obviously appeals to some people.

Boortz also broke with the right on Gay Marriage.

Boortz is the first/only talking head conservative I know of who's advocated going on welfare & entitlement programs as a way to bankrupt the GOV for good.

He says he would do it if his saving didn't disqualify him.

[CHFG8R]

Another low life championed by the right.

You know what's interesting. After the last couple of days, I can sincerely say you have as much credibility as Rush Limbaugh on anything political.

You really are a testament to hyper-partisan myopia. The poster child really.

[CHFG8R]

I'll miss Boortz. Used to have him here in Tampa, then they pulled him for Laura Ingraham (puke) then Michael Gallagher (intellectually light). Granted, this is a market where Ron & Ian are the No. 1 Sports Talk show, which says a lot about the collective intelligence - of lack thereof - of the Tampa market.

That said, whatever you think of Neil's views/opinions, what I liked was the fact that he comes to those views of his own volition. He also differed with (R)s on abortion and felt it was the one issue that held the party back (A Point I strongly agreed with). Either way, his shows raised the bar compared with the usual party-line pablum spewers and I will miss him (got to hear him few times a week when in Orlando).

Wrong, as usual. Go start another Fake Global Warming thread.

[MichaelJoeWilliamson]

This is a fair description of.......

1.) Al Gore
2.) Michael Moore
3.) Jessie Jackson
4.) Al Sharpton
5.) Joe Biden
6.) Debbie Wasserman Schultz
7.) Chris Matthews
8.) Keith Olberman


among others.

I'm sorry if I offended your choice of vicious showmen. The only good thing on this ignorant hater's (for dollars that is, who knows what he really believes) "show" was the Washington guy who did the daily reports and who tried to ignore his rants. The "painful truth" my a.s. More like pablum for the self satisfied.

Actually that someone else is Herman Cain

[Row6]

No, that he viciously attacks fellow Americans who he views as takers and also those he disagrees with politically. He's either unhinged or is selling an attitude I'm not in the market to buy. Obviously, others are.

the fact that you dont know who the washington guy is..tells me all I need to know

Boortz held no punches against anyone left or right, dem or pub...

you clearly do not listen and/or do not hear what he is saying....

AND, if you get more from the govt than you pay, you are a taker, a moocher and a drainon our society....sorry, you dont want to open your eyes to this truth

[Row6]

Pretty much any public figure you disagree with on the right. Not sure I'm up to making a list that long

Like who and what did I say? BTW, Boortz's main offense as far as I'm concerned isn't his attack on politicians (yeah, we get that he thinks Obama is an enemy of the country, etc.) but his trying to divide Americans into no good leeches and his buddies on the golf course and listeners.

[David Shepherd]

this ignorant hater's

Of course those words probably just fall off the tongue like honey

how would you classify them....those that live off of welfare checks, food stamps, sec 8 housing, and medicare... and those that work and pay taxes to support those that live off the govt tit....

Yeah, you got me pegged as not a committed Boortz fan. Jaimie Dupree, BTW, and I didn't Google him.

So all those conservative seniors living in The Villages - favorite rallying point for Sarah and Rick over the years - and who mostly couldn't if they weren't drawing SS and Medicare are all moochers and a drain on society? Open your eyes, indeed.

[Row6]

change the target....receiving social security does not make you a moocher, you have paid into the system for many years under the false belief that the govt was investing and growing that money for you....


now lets talk about the project mom with 3 kids and 3 dads, getting food stamps, welfare, ADC and gets that EIC every year....

see can can go the extreme route too....

try again slick

Dude, it's a long way from welfare Mom's to 47%. Do the math.

[Row6]

Who's your political dope dealer? Or is Bortz the only one on the face of liberal unicorn land?

Don't get your question, but if you are asking who I read the most for opinions it would be Andrew Sullivan and Ezra Klein's Wonkblog, and the latter is more heavy on factual reports than opinion. I tend to not formulated by own opinions until reading respected news sources. MSNBC and Fox don't qualify.

[David Shepherd]

Words like hater, racist, ignorant are not vicious in liberal land, they are just the daily talking points from folks like Al Gore, Nancy Pelosi, Rachel Madow, and Chris Matthews-none who are haters and vicious in liberal land.

[Row6]

Let me get you a hanky.

[Row6]

Didn't you just attack Boortz? Or does he not deserve being called "anyone?"

No, I accurately labelled him. You don't think he's a hater who sells soap by dividing Americans?

[DaveFla]

Let me get you a hanky.

pitiful....

[Row6]

You got me! I attacked a hater! How can I divide America like this????

[MichaelJoeWilliamson]

You got me! I attacked a hater! How can I divide America like this????

But you don't attack anyone! You are what you apparently hate.

Wow, you are so heavy! Far out man.

It's a relief to know that I've never been imagined in your brain. I feel better. Thanks

[QGator2414]

Sad day. I like Herman but he is just not that good on the radio.

That said this thread has been entertaining as it is apparent one poster does not like the "painful truth" Boortz brought. Some just don't like to accept reality and really don't like hearing it...

[northgagator]

Another low life championed by the right.

How many low life's do you know do this:
He is an accomplished pilot with over 3,000 hours flying as pilot-in-command, and donates time (both as a pilot and fund-raiser) in support of Angel Flight.
http://www.experiencefestival.com/a/Neal_Boortz_-_Life/id/5325137

He has a good heart: Boortz, an Angel Flight volunteer, uses his plane to ferry cancer and transplant patients to hospitals around the Southeast. His wife, Donna, does volunteer work in hospices; she's part of an organization, the American Leprosy Mission, that delivers medicine and hope to the afflicted..........

Boortz claims to have donated 100% of his royalties from the FairTax book to charity and has commented on his radio show that he has not made one cent from the book.[20] As of July 2006, Boortz claims his charitable donations from book proceeds exceed one hundred thousand US dollars.[20].

Cain won't last a month, but at least we'll all feel better about him not getting elected president.

[northgagator]

No, that he viciously attacks fellow Americans who he views as takers and also those he disagrees with politically. He's either unhinged or is selling an attitude I'm not in the market to buy. Obviously, others are.

You really are off the mark here Rowe.

First of all Boortz calls himself an entertainer. He is no different than Chris Rock is with TV as he is with radio. They both know that ratings is the bottom line.

Second Boortz is a Libertarian. He skewers the Liberal Dems and the Conservative Repubs.

[David Shepherd]

If he does not carry Obama's water he is a hater and ignorant.. that is all it comes down to with some of these folks.

[Spurffelbow833]

I really like Boortz until 9/11 revealed what an aggressive warmonger he is. He is no libertarian in the area of foreign policy.

[gatordowneast]

Those who feed from the public trough are glad he's gone. Those "paying for the feed and protection" of the public trough feeders, have one less voice. Fortunately when our voice's retire, they are not dependent on taxpayers for their existence nor do they need to extort money from guvmint or business to pay for their planes, trains, autos and vacations.

[fredsanford]

One source of pablum goes away and it's quickly replaced with another.

Perhaps they can get Dick Morris and his awesome predictions after Cain gets busted harassing someone.

[viningsgator]

The usual suspects once again showing their ass in yet another thread. Boortz was an equal opportunity offender.

[g8orbill]

I have not read this thread as I figure it will be filled with vitriol from the libs- Neal got to do something he loved for a long long time-very few people anymore get to make their living doing something they truly love- I wish him well in his semi retirement

Boortz is a Libertarian

[ncgatr1]

Another low life championed by the right.

Actually I find him to be objective and rational in his thought process. He has gone after the right, especially on abortion and the legalization of pot. I would consider him a fiscal conservative and social liberal much like a majority of Americans. His stance on how Obama has handled the economy through the expansion of government, and deficit increase is very agreeable. His insight will be missed. Can't blame him for his statements on the condition of this Country, it has been hijacked by the mooching class which intends to feed off the wealthy.

[rpmGator]

If I miss this episode, I will have missed all of them.

Self over nation, when we have kids making the ultimate sacrafice in war, is the Bendict Arnold way after all.

He sold out the nation for money, are you doing it also.

[Row6]

Sorry north but I don't like "entertainers" who thrive on paranoia and hatred. In the times I've heard him - I drive around in my job and would occasionally tune in - I have heard him say some things that were occasionally smart, somethings occasionally dumb, and mostly poisonous nonsense about 1/2 the population and craziness about his perceived political enemies. His shtick is vitriol. Good riddance.

[g8orbill]

his schtick as you say was right on and nailed you libs azzes

funny how only the pubs in your eyes row are filled with vitriol

your prez was the king of class envy class warfare

[MichiGator2002]

I can't help but remember the three or four times I have listened to Neal do his pledge drive for that children's cancer hospital and know how much of his own earned wealth he has put into it and wonder... if we pulled a dozen names of any contemporaries on the left he has, how many of them would have to love their entire lives a second or third time to voluntarily do as much for others in time or in money as Boortz in any one or two given years. And I could throw a lot of their elected leaders in their too.

[Swampmaster]

instead of the fairtax, maybe neal can jump on herman's 9/9/9 tax plan and get that passed.

[MastaG8r]

His shtick is vitriol. Good riddance.Clearly your definition of "hate speech" and "vitriol" is simply political commentary that you don't agree with, i.e. any that favors the Conservative viewpoint. Neil Boortz isn't hateful. You are. If I'm wrong then I'm sure you'll have no trouble naming some Conservative commentators who you respect - or at least don't consider to be "hateful" and "vitriolic" - even though you disagree with them.

That is your take on it, but it doesn't make it accurate. So, what do you think about Limbaugh? :laugh:

[MastaG8r]

Then let's see how many comments, statements or opinions by Neil Boortz you guys can list that separate him from those other Conservative commentators who you supposedly find "reasonable." What has Boortz said that any of those reasonable people would disavow as hate speech? Why are they reasonable and he isn't? Because they don't have as large an audience for their hateful Conservative opinions?

You have a point in the vitriol row spews about others vitriol do more for humanitarian causes than most. So I guess when they give away all that money for cancer causes and the like, it's an effort to divide Americans.

OK. Why don't you find a post where I slammed almost 1/2 of the country for being no good subhumans or where I claimed that Republicans were the enemy of America intent on its destruction from within? That's the equivalency Neal set and it's a high bar of vitriol and a low bar for intelligence.

This is a useless comment...

You don't really think that "liberal land" is filled with "haters" but conservatives are somehow different?

The level of hate displayed by conservatives towards this POTUS is unprecedented in modern times...maybe for any time in this country's history.

So if you're critical of the tenor of Maddow or Matthews' dialog...
What do you think of people like Gomert, Steve King (R-IA), Hannity, & Beck?

Are they haters also?
:joecool:

[gatorman_07732]

I was not a regular lister by any means but have heard him enough to know he is not what you claim. I would suspect you think the same about any radio talk show host. Certainly you're entitled to your opinions, but does not neccesarily make them accurate in reality.

No, I don't think all or maybe even half of the hate is from one side-my post was nothing more than a partisan rant, much like the ones you post.

Are you saying he hasn't asserted that about half of the population are leeches destroying the country and that Obama and other democrats are purposely trying to destroy it?

Obama has “same goals” as al-Qaida

Conservative radio host Neal Boortz takes sore losing to a new level, equating the president with Muslim terrorists
By Alex Seitz-Wald


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-Qaida.

Rush Limbaugh Is Not Alone
By Tom Junod

http://www.esquire.com/blogs/politics/neal-boortz-worms-7186415

It's amazing what you can hear when you listen to "conservative" talk radio in this country. Lately I've been listening to WSB here in Atlanta to keep up with the Georgia primary, and yesterday I heard "libertarian" Neal Boortz call poor people "worms." As in, more or less: "The situation in this country is like a dog with worms. You bring the dog to the vet to be dewormed, but the vet is Dr. Obama, and he says you can't get the dog dewormed because the worms have a vote. And that's the problem, folks: the worms have a vote." He repeats "the worms have a vote," several times, and then quotes, as I remember it, somebody who's emailed him: "I'm going to call my dog Section 8 because so many parasites live there." Big yuks, all around. So Rush is particularly loathsome. But he isn't the only one.

Wrong, as usual. Go start another Fake Global Warming thread.

I can't help but remember the three or four times I have listened to Neal do his pledge drive for that children's cancer hospital and know how much of his own earned wealth he has put into it and wonder... if we pulled a dozen names of any contemporaries on the left he has, how many of them would have to love their entire lives a second or third time to voluntarily do as much for others in time or in money as Boortz in any one or two given years. And I could throw a lot of their elected leaders in their too.

I've met Neal a few times. Is a tremendously generous person. I'm almost positive that he donates ALL of his book royalties to charity. So this "evil" Boortz guy... who do you think donates more to charity?

Obama has “same goals” as al-Qaida

Conservative radio host Neal Boortz takes sore losing to a new level, equating the president with Muslim terrorists
By Alex Seitz-Wald


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-Qaida.


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

I don't agree with that statement, but a majority of time he was spot on with his analysis, he did a lot for charity including St. Jude's Hospital, I'm going to miss him, Cain is not even in the same league.

[wargunfan]

One source of pablum goes away and it's quickly replaced with another.

Perhaps they can get Dick Morris and his awesome predictions after Cain gets busted harassing someone.

We still have you, Fred.

[el_lagarto]

i liked boortz. he was fun to listen too, a bit over the top, but we are becoming a country of producers and takers.

i wish he attacked the DC establishment, R and L, with as much vitriol as he did libs and obama.
he would have been a good voice for that.

CAIN is a giant turd and i believe his run for office was not much more than a publicity stunt for all his new ventures like radio host and cain TV and being 'a voice of the right' like palin somehow is.

so screw him for that, + he blows at speaking/communicating, and seems to appeal to dumb people. not a fan, will not listen.

On the March 31 broadcast of his nationally syndicated radio program, Neal Boortz said that Rep. Cynthia McKinney (D-GA) "looks like a ghetto slut." Boortz was commenting on a March 29 incident in which McKinney allegedly struck a police officer at a Capitol Hill security checkpoint. Boortz said that McKinney's "new hair-do" makes her look "like a ghetto slut," like "an explosion at a Brillo pad factory," like "Tina Turner peeing on an electric fence," and like "a shih tzu." McKinney is the first African-American woman elected to Congress from Georgia

On the October 24 broadcast of his nationally syndicated radio program, Neal Boortz suggested that a victim of Hurricane Katrina currently housed in an Atlanta hotel consider prostitution. "If that's the only way she can take care of herself," Boortz posited, "it sure beats the hell out of sucking off the taxpayers." The woman was featured in an October 23 Atlanta Journal-Constitution article; Boortz repeated her first name on the air.

On MSNBC's Countdown, host Keith Olbermann named conservative radio host Neal Boortz runner-up for "Worst Person in World" for predicting that riots and looting by "aspiring rappers and NBA superstars" would erupt if Stanley "Tookie" Williams did not receive a last-minute commutation of his death penalty.

It is ironic that Boortz has chosen an African-American successor, given that he has a long history of overt professional racism. Before he got into broadcasting, Boortz worked as a speechwriter for Georgia Governor Lester Maddox, an ardent segregationist. Maddox first gained political prominence by chasing African-American would-be patrons out of his restaurant with a handgun. In 1976 Maddox challenged his nemesis Jimmy Carter for the presidency by running on George Wallace’s former American Independence Party line. Time called Maddox a “strident racist.”

On his Atlanta-based radio show, Boortz has frequently indulged in vulgar race baiting. In a 2009 disquisition that would have made Maddox proud, Boortz called for removing the voting rights of certain recipients of government aid. “Everybody still living in a hotel or a trailer after Hurricane Katrina: no votes,” he declared. “Can’t vote again ever, ever. Nobody living in Section 8 housing should be allowed to vote.” Boortz seems to harbor a particularly strong antipathy for Katrina victims. As Media Matters reports, in 2008, “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.’” In 2006, Media Matters noted a sexist and racist attack Boortz made against Representative Cynthia McKinney (D-GA). “Boortz said that McKinney’s ‘new hair-do’ makes her look ‘like a ghetto slut,’ like ‘an explosion at a Brillo pad factory,’ like ‘Tina Turner peeing on an electric fence,’ and like ‘a shih tzu.’”

[MichiGator2002]

I am enjoying the cavalcade of links to stupid and lazy minds saying stupid and lazy things. Boortz has spent much of his time on the overt racism of the left that has adopted the notion that if you are black you cannot, can't, period, succeed without the government their holding you hand.

[rpmGator]

If you listen to only those that back up the opinion you already have, you don't learn a whole lot.

When everyone thinks alike, no one is thinking.

[gator996]

Masta wanted someone to... "give us a single example of something Boortz said that makes him a lowlife and a hater."

I have supplied a number of examples....

"Racism" is the left's biggest wild card, the card they play when they have little or nothing else. It's supposed to paralyze their opponents and put them on the defensive. And if one doesn't react that way, that just means he's even more of a racist.

Consider that about 98% of the blacks (was it) voted for an overt Marxist in the last election, one who hates this country and is seeking to destroy it. And what is there good to say about most blacks here?

Well, I have enormous respect for the 2% or thereabouts of blacks who had the guts to vote the other way.

And I have far less respect for the whites who voted for him than I do for the blacks who did.

Easily one of the most low information, mis-informed posts I've read here in quite some time.

Besides getting the vote percentages wrong...

What did you mean by the comment....

" And what is there good to say about most blacks here?"

[g8orbill]

What you posted 996/ is metely opinion and the usual race card BS- I submit that a person who constantly plays the race card is themselves a racist

[QGator2414]

I always get a kick out of libs incorporating race into debates so ignorantly...

Just like we will miss Neal many of us have been missing Royal Marshall (Can't believe it has been two years)!

What I posted were quotes from Boortz's radio show...

...how is that opinion?

The statements stand for themselves...the audio clips are contained in the links.


As to your other comments about the race card...are those directed at me or the people who authored those linked items?

[g8orbill]

any quote can be taken from any show and out of context can be made to be racist or homophobic.


His comments can be considered insensitive and even mean but that does not necessarily make them wrong or racist.

No. You have merely provided quotes from left leaning haters pointing their crooked little fingers at those they perceive to be right leaning haters.

Overt racism? Do to have proof where Boortz actually discriminated against anyone of a different color or vulture?

[QUOTE="gator996"] Before he got into broadcasting, Boortz worked as a speechwriter for Georgia Governor Lester Maddox, an ardent segregationist.

In 1976 Maddox challenged his nemesis Jimmy Carter for the presidency by running on George Wallace’s former American Independence Party line. Time called Maddox a “strident racist.”

A strident racist? Have you ever tried to separate Maddox the politician and Maddox the person?
I am not saying that Maddox was for diversity but he did have a way of separating his personal views from public policy
Maddox was favorably influenced by Murray M. Silver, Esq., General Counsel of the Georgia Department of Labor, and Commissioner Sam Caldwell to hire blacks and to approve legislation affecting unemployment insurance of automobile workers within the state.[20]
He integrated the lines of farmer's markets throughout the state.[21]
Years after Maddox's gubernatorial term ended, Republican Benjamin B. Blackburn described Maddox as a "far better governor than his critics will ever admit." Then a former U.S. representative, Blackburn noted that no claim of corruption arose against Maddox, whose administration was characterized by economic development and the appointment of African Americans to state executive positions.[22][/]

Nobody living in Section 8 housing should be allowed to vote.”.
If you were at least an occasional listener of Boortz you would of learned why he felt that way. Boortz felt that living on public assistance corrupted or compromised your vote. To paraphrase Boortz, "who is go to vote against the hand that feeds you?"

Boortz seems to harbor a particularly strong antipathy for Katrina victims. As Media Matters reports, in 2008, “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.’”
Soon after Katrina and the New Orleans Exodus Atlanta experience an influx if former New Orleans citizens. For the next two years the media aired a barrage of stories of robbery, scams, fraud, and murder by the Katrina refugees. Now a good portion of the refugees were law abiding and productive citizens. However there were a good number of them that deservedly earned Boortz rath.

In 2006, Media Matters noted a sexist and racist attack Boortz made against Representative Cynthia McKinney (D-GA). “Boortz said that McKinney’s ‘new hair-do’ makes her look ‘like a ghetto slut,’ like ‘an explosion at a Brillo pad factory,’ like ‘Tina Turner peeing on an electric fence,’ and like ‘a shih tzu.’”
If you have not live up here in Atanta and personally experienced the McKinney circus then you have no business to make comment to defend or support her. To be honest with you that poor woman should of been committed years ago. If you thought Boortz was hard on get you should of read what the local journalist said about her.

Unfortunately your examples where from outside (of Atlanta) sources that no little to nothing of Boortz or McKinney)

Posting Boortz quotes is only half the task. If you have spent the last 10, 20, or 30 years listening to Boortz you would get the full picture of what he is talking about. Boortz is about personal responsibility. Boortz had a big African American following here in Atlanta. Why? Because they are big on personal responsibility and they knew that Boortz was not a racist.

FYI...One of the most sorrowful days in Neal Bootz's life (and many Atlantans) was the day that his right hand man Royal Marshal died (two years ago this past week). Royal was black man and wa Boortz's right hand man
[QUOTE] “My heart is just completely broken,” Mr. Boortz, weeping, said when he called in to speak on a special radio show Saturday afternoon to memorialize Mr. Marshall.

Mr. Boortz said he told his wife, ‘Darn it, I loved him like a brother.’”

She replied, “ ‘You loved him like a son. He was like a son to you that you never had.’”/QUOTE]
http://m.accessatlanta.com/news/entertainment/celebrity-news/royal-marshall-boortz-radio-show-producer-dies-1/nQpkW/

By the way Marshall started out as an engineer at WSB. Boortz got to know Marshal and mentored him into his own radio career.
