<p><b>Boortz said  Muslims are "sort of like cockroaches," continued to attack
"Media	Myrmidons" </b></p>

<p>On the August 14 broadcast of his 
nationally syndicated radio show, while discussing the alleged "Islamization of 
Western Europe," Neal 
Boortz claimed that because "Muslims don&#39;t eat during the day during Ramadan" 
and "fast during the day and eat at night," they are "sort of like cockroaches." 
Boortz was discussing <a href="http://mediamatters.org/rd?src=item200708150002&http://news.scotsman.com/edinburgh.cfm?id=1275192007" title="http://news.scotsman.com/edinburgh.cfm?id=1275192007">reports</a> that a group of government-run 
hospitals in 
Scotland had instructed employees to 
eat away from their desks during Ramadan so as not to offend their fasting 
Muslim colleagues. Immediately following the remark, Boortz said, "I did that 
for Media Myrmidons" -- 
his term for <i>Media Matters for</i> 
America -- and added, " &#39;Neal Boortz refers to Muslims as 
cockroaches.&#39; Yeah, 
that&#39;ll be on Media 
Myrmidons."</p>

<p>Boortz went on to attack <i>Media Matters</i> President and CEO David Brock and said, "Those 
of you that are going 
to send that transcript to Media Myrmidons, don&#39;t forget to ask, you know, don&#39;t 
forget to ask David up there how&#39;s his girlfriend Hillary and George? How 
they&#39;re doing, you know? Hillary and George?" Boortz was apparently referring to Sen. Hillary 
Rodham Clinton (D-NY) and financier George 
Soros.</p>

<p>From the August 14 broadcast of Cox 
Radio Syndication&#39;s <i>The Neal Boortz 
Show</i>: </p><blockquote>

<p>BOORTZ: The Neal Boortz radio show. Before we get onto the 
phone calls, one more "inch by inch" story, the Islamization of Western 
Europe. And it&#39;s happening here, too, in this country. Footbaths for Muslims. Government schools with separate prayer rooms 
for Muslims.</p>

<p>It&#39;s just -- OK, we&#39;re going to go the National Health 
Service in Great 
Britain. Now, remember, it was just a couple of weeks ago 
that we had doctors working, Muslim doctors working for the National Health 
Service in Great Britain who were plotting to blow up a bunch of Londoners. One 
of them slammed a car into the Glasgow airport. They got caught, folks. Car bombs, car 
bombs. They got caught. The car bombs didn&#39;t go off. I guess Muslim doctors 
aren&#39;t all that good at rigging explosives. Working for the National Health 
Service.</p>

<p>You would think maybe that the 
National Health Service in Great Britain would be looking 
really, really closely at its Muslim doctors and Muslim employees, but that would be racial 
profiling, and we can&#39;t 
have that, can we? Instead, the National Health Service and at least one 
London 
hospital, Lothians -- Lothians, whatever. In 
this one hospital, they have <b>advised doctors 
and other health care workers that next month they are not to have working 
lunches.</b> Now, what do they mean by a working lunch? That&#39;s 
where you bring your lunch from home or you bring in takeout and you have lunch 
at your desk. So, next 
month, National Health Service 
-- at least at this one hospital -- you are not permitted to have lunch at 
your desk. Why not? Because <b>it&#39;s Ramadan, and Muslims in your 
workplace might be offended if they see you eating at your desk.</b> Why? 
I guess it&#39;s because <b>Muslims don&#39;t eat during 
the day during Ramadan. They fast during the day and eat at night. Sort of like cockroaches.</b></p>

<p><b>I did that for 
Media Myrmidons, OK? I -- they&#39;re sort of like 
cockroaches. "Neal 
Boortz refers to Muslims as cockroaches." Yeah, that&#39;ll be on Media Myrmidons. Those of you that are going to send that 
transcript to Media Myrmidons, don&#39;t forget to ask, you know, don&#39;t forget to 
ask David up there how&#39;s his girlfriend Hillary and George? How they&#39;re doing, 
you know? Hillary and George?</b> </p></blockquote><table width="100%" style="background: #e8e8e8;
