Boortzed
Published by Mike Stark July 11th, 2007 in UncategorizedYesterday I listened to his show. A caller took issue with him casting “all the blame” on the Democrats for the messinpotamia… Boortz did his typical talk show routine - he asked the caller if Borotz had ever said he blamed the Democrats for “everything”. Didn’t he say that Bush and the military commanders made mistakes?
Meanwhile, he had muted the caller’s microphone. After he was done shouting down the caller, he raised the caller’s mic level again and the caller asked Boortz to assign percentages to the blame-worthy actors… Boortz muted him again and shouted that yes, Boortz had indeed blamed Bush for some mistakes, so he didn’t, in fact, lay all the blame at the Democrats feet… Then he hung up on the caller and pounded a little more on how the caller had his facts wrong…
But then he went on to answer the caller’s question… He said that he did, indeed, lay the “lion’s share” of the blame on the Democrats and the media.
I tried to call yesterday, but couldn’t get through…
So I tried again today…
Sometimes, the arguments these people make are so unserious that it just doesn’t make sense to give them anymore than a modicum of respect… State the obvious refutation of their argument, and then just ridicule the foolish host.
That’s the approach I took here… And if you listen, you can hear that Boortz was thrown off-balance. First, the best he can muster is “Thank you and be good.” Then he paused (you could hear the wheels turning in his head as he went through the mental checklist of possible counter-attacks). Then he gave the phone number to his show (a classic delaying tactic that gives the host time to work out his thoughts). Then he responds…
The funny thing is, he was on stage with Ann Coulter and Sean Hannity yesterday. Yeah, those paragons of civility…

Nice work. His vocal speed and tonality changes make it obvious to anyone with ears that he was completely at a loss. He is an idiot. Even interrupting you to s l o w l y repeat a phrase you said is such a weak attempt at buying time to think.
Who keeps this clown on the air?
Keep up the good work, Mike.
Next time you tutor him, let him know that ALL people say kom-PYOO-ter, not kom-PYOO-TOR and MOST people say EYE-rak, not EAR-ak.
It’s good to have you back, Mike. This was a great call! Keep up the good fight
Boortz is a liar. I unfortuately have listened to him, and the guy is an absolute cretin.
It’s funny that the chump who shoved his way through a crowd to shout obscenities at a Senator, then got taken down by grandpa, has the nerve to insinuate that anyone else is impolite.
Your little circle jerk of a left wingnut blog is cute, though. Keep it up.
What happened to the sound files? It’s been a few months since I visited this site and I don’t see the sound clips anymore. I was looking for the one from Boortz but don’t see it anywhere in the story. Mike, thanks for your great work. You are one of a kind.
Somebody want to tell me how to get the clip to play? I haven’t been to this site for a while and I’m just not seeing link.
