From ThinkProgress.com:

As the fourth anniversary of the Hurricane Katrina disaster approaches, hate-radio talk show host Neal Boortz mocked President Obama’s pledge to rebuild New Orleans, calling the victims human “debris.” This weekend, President Barack Obama told the New Orleans Times-Picayune that he “remains focused on rebuilding New Orleans and the Gulf Coast,” and anything less “would be a betrayal of who we are as a country.” Boortz responded on Twitter by attacking the “debris that Katrina chased out”:

boortz_katrinaBoortz has also called the overwhelmingly black, poor victims of the Katrina disaster in New Orleans “human parasites” and “deadbeats,” even suggesting that a victim of Hurricane Katrina consider prostitution instead of “sucking off taxpayers.” Although Katrina’s devastation cost this nation $80 billion, killed thousands, and displaced a million people, Boortz believes “Katrina cleansed New Orleans.”

    i will quote something that Joe madison says all the time,on his xm radio show, that i believe sums it up about these right wing talk show host and their narrow privelged perceptions of race…”in america we are culturally conditioned to believe that white is superior and black is inferior and the manifestation of it is that we are marginalized, underestimated and undervalued”

    This is just sad on so many levels. Freedom of speech has gone too far…and this ignorance further proves that.

    blkman6ft6_inla: You are just as bad as Boortz. Your mind has been “WHITE WASHED” to believe ALL Black people are the same. Shame on you! Shame!

    Take a look around BP with your thoughtless and reprehensible comments, idiot —There are many successful Blacks, more so than the few who are used to denigrate Blacks overall for every ill in society and Black culture. The white media to justify their claims uses people like you…

    In the interim; Boortz is simply a racist who wishes to incite whites and to ensure that N.O. will become a white city with Blacks continually marginalized from participation in a city of which they have always been a part of…

    what we need to do is start putting our foot in the asses of the genetically inferior hybrids of nature, I dont know why Abraham went and taught those savages how to walk and talk in the first place. There time on this earth is almost up any way,and by the way, diseases didnt exist exsist until they slithered out of those caves.zoophilias ass mofos!

    Thanx, Tried-N-True!!! US ‘Katrina Victims’ who lost everything in the Storm 4 years ago have yet to recover from the devastating effects of that day. My family in particular lost MUCH MORE AFTER the storm. My Dad & Aunt were also lost and many other personal items after that. I don’t know what to feel or say about @$$holes like 6ft6 & Boortz!! Until I come up with something better.. Phuck ‘em!!! ;-)

    i think that guy boortz is a entertainer who wants to get a rise out of people who cant take it, hes not even deserving of a response.
    Now lets admit some parts of N.O. before Katrina was so violent and poor it was as if they were living in 1940 alabama, people had homes on bricks, people could not speak english, the school were the worst in the nation, drugs and gangs were everywhere. AND THEY HAVE A BLACK MAYOR. BUT now its not there anymore, there isnt enough money to rebuild those areas, there wasnt too many people paying taxes in those areas to begin with.I remember all those people in that center waiitng for help, I seen grown men and women that had nothing in life, never thought about doing for themselves until levees broke and destroyed their communities. god does things for a reason so these people would now take more responsibility in their lives and dont depends on hand outs.

    As D.H. Hughley recently commented on Tom Joiner’s Morning Show, when it comes to people like this and others (Beck, Limbaugh, Hannify, O’Reilly, Grace, etc), you can’t argue with them, much less debate them. The best way to deal with them is to just ignore them, don’t buy products they endorse or advertise on their shows or their networks. It’s not worth us bringing ourselves down and getting all worked up over them. He said their names will never again pass his lips. I take my course of action from that. Especially since I’m no where near as funny busting their chops as he is.

    I don’t think people understand how much these people lost in this storm….Imagine losing EVERYTHING in your house except the clothes on your back. It WILL take you a few years to recover from that s**t…ESPECIALLY if you were already poor before it happened. I’m not saying everybody in Louisiana was perfect, but they are humans. And whether we want to accept it or not, our government failed them miserably on those tragic days. As for the racist radio dude, why is anybody surprised? white people have been on tv saying s**t like that for years.
