Mr. Boortz arrived in Atlanta 5 months before I did. I was elated when he FINALLY found topics to cover other than welfare receipiants. Thankfully, he welcomed other topics and has proven that with time and talent, one can make a name for self. Congratulations on the award and for bringing entertainment to Atlanta and beyond.
You detractors should also know that Neal also adds much by bringing aid to those in need. I’m sure that aid includes more than life flights.
Keep up the good work.

Enter your comments hereI really dislike Neal Boortz. Wasn’t he recently voted the most despised radio personally in Atlanta? I am sorry I think he was voted “Most Rude”. Check your past editions, you failed to mention that in your kiss-up to the Cox Radio side of the AJC. All he talks about is his plane, his homes, his golf trip here golf trip there. He should have been an Italian Opera singer cause all he’s got is “me me me me me. And what won’t this guy plug on his show? He is a Radio Prostitute. Hey mister got $50 bucks Neal will love and plug your business long time! ” What really eats him up is the fact that he is second now maybe third string to Rush, Hannity and Beck. Beck is killing his show where they go head to head gaining share every day. I THINK HE HAS SLIPPED TO # 7 IN NATIONAL RADIO RATINGS. Boortz is to ugly to be on TV. I hear Fox has banned the blow hard! I know Bill O’Reilly has banned him from his show, the number 1 cable news program in the USA. Hannity # 2 talk TV show and radio talker in the country did not even appear with him on stage at his Freedom concert here last month. Just a matter of time before this old washed up motor mouth is gone. I so look forward to that day. He is just a bitter old man rambling and ranting about nothing.

I am dubious to the belief that Boortz is a libertarian. Has he actually endorsed any libertarian candidates ever?

What Sluggy should have mentioned is that last year Howard Stern was nominated. He was full of contempt for this so-called organization. (Anyone can set up a website and claim to be a National Hall of Fame for something). Stern ordered his listeners NOT to vote for him because he wanted no part of it. Now this year Boortz gets nominated and gets all choked up by this great honor. And then campaigns for it. 230 stations, 5 million listeners. He BEGS people to vote for him and gets emotional that he was able to stack the ballot.

Here is what I like about Neil Boortz: If a caller disagrees with him, he puts then in the front of the line to talk. Then if the caller actually makes a good argument, you can hear his gears churning as he tries to think of an excuse to hang up on the caller. If the caller is illogical or unable to make a good argument, he keeps them on longer.

Well congratulations on your meaningless award from a two-bit, nearly non-existent orgainization Neil. Where is the induction ceremony? Ryan’s Steakhouse?

Sluggy Duggy got it right. Boortz is just a blowhard who attempts to spew his message daily to anyone willing to listen. He does so by playing the same game that Hannity and Rush do which is to let a caller make a point then kill their microphone in order for them not to be able to reply. Several years ago, I attempted to call into Hannity and the screener would not allow me to ask the question I wanted to ask which was legitimate, only to call me at a later date and field several questions until I proposed one that I could ask on air. He is a joke of an on-air personality but for all of the right-wing fanatics, just what you are looking for because he is willing to say the racist and sexist things you are thinking but neither have the guts nor forum to say them.

Enter your comments here Congratulations to Neal Boortz. He does an excellent job in a business that has no forgiveness. If he stops producing listeners and revenue, radio will quickly drop hin much as they did Air America. That’s not going to happen anytime soon. You can tell that he really enjoys doing what he does for a living.

Hey Sluggy, Here’s a news flash for you; There are plenty of organizations that present awards to people that aren’t acredited MTV music awards for instance. So just because Howard says it, doesn’t make it gospel. Second of all, you are way out of line with your comments. There have been plenty of examples of people that disagree with Boortz in here that didn’t resort to name calling or wishing harm upon him. Say what you want about those that don’t share your obvious left-wing liberal radical views. But the only people out there that do harm to “national discourse” are people like you. Not to mention you proved by all the wordy insults in your comments that you are just as “hateful, loathsome, unpleasant, morally bankrupt, and even more a lowlife than Boortz is. So Congrats, you have just become that which you say you despise. Have a nice day!

First of all, as the Great One, Howard Stern has so hilariously highlighted on his show, the “Radio Hall of Fame” is an unaccredited non-entity. Being “inducted” plus 75 cents will get you a hard copy of the AJC. Second, Boortz is just another clone of that slimebag Limbaugh, a bottom-feeding right wing sychophant of the same old b.s. Republican talking points that Beck, Hannity, and the other 40,000 sc**bags on RW radio let spew out of their filthy jowls all day, every day across the country. He’s not unique, original, interesting, or entertaining. He’s a selfish, old, hateful, loathsome, unpleasant, morally bankrupt, lowlife of a person that will hopefully suffer a slow and painful demise someday for all the venom, vitriol, and division he he has helped to inflict upon the national discourse for all these years. Sure he has a lot of listeners. But McDonalds sells a lot of hamburgers, too. That don’t make ‘em good for you. Eat a turd, Boortz……and choke on it.

My dad turned me on to Boortz and although I don’t agree with most of his views, particularly the Katrina stuff because I just don’t think he understood the culture and dynamic down there enough to say what he said about it (and he made too many generalizations) I think he is a decent man. I like that he espouses above all personal accountability for one’s plight and actions. I don’t think he is a racist at all. He employs Royal and welcomes him to voice his opinion and if I am not mistaken, surprisingly, he and the late, great Hosea Williams were friends even though their politics were different. Boortz is not a Limbaugh or a Hannity in my opinion, although he tends to get lumped in with those guys.
