WMAL-AM (630) has fired conservative talk-show host Michael Graham, three weeks after the ABC-owned radio station suspended him for calling Islam a "terrorist organization." Mr. Graham also has lost his gig, at least for now, as a panelist on "Eye on Washington," the weekend political talk show produced by WUSA-TV (Channel 9), the local CBS affiliate. "The First Amendment and I have been evicted from ABC Radio," Mr. Graham said in a statement posted to a Web site Sunday night.

Oops! My bad.

Should be "When you C.A.I.R enough to fire the very best."

My apologies to Hallmark. ;-)

And ye shall know the truth and the truth shall make you free.Islam is NOT a religion of Peace.And there is NO Truth at ABC. I guess the talk jock could say He spoke the truth and the truth ( or the politically powerful Islamic Terrorist group CAIR ) has set him free from his job.
SHAME on ABC Radio -and the station that has subbmitted to
Islamic terrorism.

I guess the radio station and ABC were afraid of being bombed by adherents of this "religion of peace".

You know, folks in the D.C. area ought to compile a list of WMAL's heaviest advertisers and contact each one of them repeatedly to let them know that they will never spend another dime on their products as long as they spend money with WMAL. I can just hear the thugs from CAIR explaining how they would hate to see some "radical fringe" element of their phony "religion of peace" bomb the station or target their employees for murder.
