I liked Boortz, wifey hated him.   Absolute favorite gig was the Cat Chasing bit.  DLed it, and play it occasionally, funny stuff!

BTW, that was before my time in Georgia (moved there shortly after 1991) but I remember listening to it a few times not long after I started listening to Boortz.

My brother was a Check-pilot for a couple of airlines, they had a simulator in Atlanta.
He got me turned on to Boortz.  One day, I get this phone call, "You gotta hear this!!!"

I remember the first time I heard him was when he went on a rant on the Second Amendment and just SHREDDED every lie about firearms, but he did it in a punch-to-the-face way where he didn't tiptoe around it.

For those who didn't get to listen to Boortz or familiar with him (he was based in Atlanta), this is the stuff I got to listen to in my early talk radio days:



          

Quote from: Solar on May 24, 2021, 05:18:26 PMI hadn't even considered him, but yeah, Hell yeah! I'd tune in every damn day!

Yeah... I've been catching a lot more of him lately, especially with the audits...

Boortz was unique. I feel he was at his best when he was just a local ATL celebrity. He was more than glad to point out the insanity of local ATL pols.

I remember all the nicknames...       

Pop quiz: who's "the cutest little communist in Congress"?

That was also another reason I never listened much to other talk show hosts.  After four or so hours of Boortz, everyone else was too watered down.

Boortz said several times that
anyone who sends their children to government schools
should be prosecuted for child abuse.

I agree that government schools really are that bad.

Currently, I like Dana Loesch (lash) on radio.

The Rush Limbaugh Show is continuing his legacy.
His research staff is still fully functioning.
His replacements are benefiting from that.

The Brian Kilmeade Show varies widely.
It depends entirely on what guest he has on at the time.
When he has RINO guests, Kilmeade is as bad as John McCain.

Boortz was one of the first to identify government schools as corrupt.

Quote from: supsalemgr on May 27, 2021, 05:14:07 AMBoortz was one of the first to identify government schools as corrupt.

His banter was a BIG encouragement for wifey & I to continue Homeschooling.

When we were taking *heat* from family and friends, (who were parroting nonsense), Boortz's rants strengthened our resolve - we wanted BETTER for our kids.  Sacrifice it was, but we gave them a *chance* to become independent thinkers and not get swept along in the current of Liberalism.

WHO is a decent replacement for Rush Limbaugh... ?   His particular blend of humor and using absurdity to point out absurdity - I miss it already!
