Support the independent voice of Denver and help keep the future of Westword free.
Amid our coverage of the Aurora theater shooting last week, we noted a tweet by talk-show host Neal Boortz attacking President Barack Obama for commenting about his shock and sadness over the event. Boortz subsequently sent out an apology tweet about the post, but many of our readers weren't impressed. Like this one, for instance.

Honestly, he ought to b ashamed of himself. His original Tweet is bad enough; his follow up apology is downright embarrassing.
If you can't think of anything kind to say today, perhaps it's a great day to just shut the hell up.

Keep Westword Free... Since we started Westword, it has been defined as the free, independent voice of Denver, and we would like to keep it that way. Offering our readers free access to incisive coverage of local news, food and culture. Producing stories on everything from political scandals to the hottest new bands, with gutsy reporting, stylish writing, and staffers who've won everything from the Society of Professional Journalists' Sigma Delta Chi feature-writing award to the Casey Medal for Meritorious Journalism. But with local journalism's existence under siege and advertising revenue setbacks having a larger impact, it is important now more than ever for us to rally support behind funding our local journalism. You can help by participating in our "I Support" membership program, allowing us to keep covering Denver with no paywalls.
