The Talkmaster

This Dbag, yours truly, has been away for a while. Personal, self -absorbed bullshit has taken precedence over this blog. However, something that I heard on the radio has enticed me to renew my efforts at dbag hunting. That something, is the shameless pandering to the conservative base that Boortz has been engaged in for the last several weeks. Boortz has called illegal immigrants "home invaders," and framed our illegal immigrant problem as the "reconquista" of the US. He has also called for a giant wall between the US and Mexico.

I'm usually willing to cut Boortz some slack, as he presents a somewhat different viewpoint from the regular assholes on the talk radio scene. Unfortunately, his take on the illegal immigration issue makes him a bona fide resident of Dbagistan. The reconquista line is a heaping helping of BS. Illegals that come to this country aren't driven by a cultural/political agenda, they come here for economic and social opportunities. As a resident of Georgia, Boortz should also be aware that a large percentage of Georgia's immigrants are from Central America and not Mexico.

I don't know if he actually believes what he preaches, but pandering to the ignorant, mouth-breathing, bigoted, close minded, nutjob, troglodytes that lap up the bullshit spouted on conservative talk radio is unacceptable. Shame Boortz, shame.
