Ping! Pass it on!

As much as dislike Graham, I too think his firing is dead wrong.

One humorous note. Last week, Graham's former Charleston SC station ( had he stayed here ) dropped ABC radio news for FOX Radio news. ABC radio news was on the station for years, even when it moved to an FM station about a year ago.

Thanks very much. This is great news indeed!

I hope he gets a regular gig at KFI. In just the one on air interview I heard, he sounded fantastic.

It doesn't do individual, decent Muslims any favor to hide the fact that terrorism comes from Islam.

[ex-snook]

Words against Christians, especially Catholics, are always acceptable to the media. What isn't acceptable are words against black, gay or Jewish people. Now he found out that words against Islam are also a no-no. Different strokes for different folks, I guess.

All I had to do to get fired is show up to work in a blackout and tell my boss the job sucked and so did he.

"This is the new, mainstream media standard for employment: You are far more likely to get fired for telling the truth than you are for telling a lie."

Michael is absolutely right about this. The MSM is ruled by the left and the left is ruled by propaganda. Without it they whither and die, and, they know this.

So, to insure their own existence they must stamp out any truth that directly challenges their dogma. For them it's life or death.

Graham was not hired by a station in LA, he was hired by RIGHTALK.com.

Not that anybody really likes Savage...

I love the guy. Of course, he'd probably be annoyed by someone liking him, but I do. He shoots straight and calls it the way he sees it, deals with issues others avoid, and he's usually right.

Borders, language, culture.

He said that KFI in Los Angeles had offered some fill-in spots for him, but that they hadn't fired him fulltime.

That's a relief. It would be hard on a guy to get fired from two places in such a short period of time. :p

The msm will continue with these antics as long as we continue to buy the papers and magazines and watch the network news. We need to start turning that crap off and stop buying the magazines. I've cancelled all subscriptions news publications, and don't get any news from my TV anymore. I get it on FR.

[dhuffman@awod.com]

Perhaps not. ISTR him complaining that he was fired from his job previous to his Charleston, SC shtick for intemperate mouthings. IOW, it is his way of padding his CV.

[Spirited]

You're quite right except that I do not believe that Catholics are more singled out than "fundamentalists" (whatever that expandable word really means). They are castigated for their rigid adherence to scripture as they read it.

CAtholics have only been criticized in the last very few years. Before that they were about as inviolate as Jews because pc dictated it.

[TBP]

CAIR didn't just muzzle Michael Graham. All the talk show hosts at WMAL now know what they are NOT allowed to discuss. Before turning them off for good, I listened for a little while longer to the remaining hosts, and they are all studiously avoiding any reference to Islam or CAIR.

Maybe we should pick a day and all of us call (202) 432-9625 about this issue. They can't keep every caller off the air.

[hamboy]

They haven't fired Michael Savage for ranting everyone from Monday to Friday.

I agree
anyone without intelligence
or any sense of humour
could not possibly like Michael Savage.

[SlowBoat407]

CAIR

Consistent
Affront to
Intelligence and
Reason

[gnarledmaw]

Ill take a bombastic and "unlovable" but comparatively honest and consistant Savage over a insipid and waffling liberal lover like halfwit Hannity any day.

[Chaguito]

Maybe he could replace Savage (my mouth to God's ears).

Graham was not hired by a station in LA, he was hired by RIGHTALK.com.

Will look forward to listening in - he starts Monday.
