A note to the opposition
Today's installment of "Nealz Nuze" (no permanent URL yet) mentions the effort to cancel his appearance at the Libertarian Party's 2004 national convention, and quotes the text of the petition. Consequently, the petition is starting to fill up with ... the signatures of people who disagree with the effort.
HELLOOOOO ... Signing this petition amounts to asking the Libertarian National Committee and/or its convention coordinator to not have Mr. Boortz as a convention speaker, regardless of what comments you attach to your signature. If you want Mr. Boortz to speak at the convention, then signing this petition is counter to your interest in the matter.
Posted by Tom Knapp at December 8, 2003 11:38 AM | TrackBackI wonder if they are trying to sabotage the petition. Once it is known that some signatures are bogus, the final count will have less impact. It's a sleazy tactic that ought to backfire, but it's just the sort of thing I would expect from Boortz supporters. The guy, or rather his radio persona, is just plain creepy.
But I guess you can just delete the signatures with negative comments.
On the same page, Boortz takes up the matter of his being paid for his talk. The funny thing is he doesn't deny he is getting paid this time, but instead talks about how he didn't get paid on previous occasions.
In at least one of the responses I got from Nat Com members, it was mentioned that dis-inviting Boortz would be a problem from a contractual standpoint. I would like to know where to go for an explanation of this point, preferably with the text of this contract.
BOORTZ FOR PRESIDENT!
