BREAKING: GRAHAM FIRED -- DC Talk Host Was Target Of Islamist Campaign
The Radio Equalizer- Brian Maloney ^ | August 21st,2005 | Brian Maloney

Confirmation of WMAL/Washington talk host Michael Graham's removal from the ABC station has been made with his just-released statement.

Graham had been suspended for making comments local fringe Islamists from the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) found offensive, now we've learned he won't be returning to WMAL.

Official ABC reason: insubordination, for apparently not doing enough "outreach" after an incident where Graham called Islam itself a "terror organization".

So we got Cair effectively firing ABC employees for telling the truth, we got the Hollywood Republican who isn't allowed to tell the truth about Islamic terrorism in the movie scripts he writes, and we got Al Jazeerah coming soon to a cable company near you.

The liberal/islamic propaganda department must be working overtime.

Sounds like a boycott of WMAL and ABC are in order, and I see a need for the American Center for Law and Justice step in. Forget asking the ACLU.

Anybody know of other DC stations I can get RUSH on... I use the net stream so I have options, but this is goodbye to WMAL for me.
