JWR COLUMNIST OFF THE AIR AFTER ABC/DISNEY IS INTIMIDATED BY CAIR

Yesterday Michael Graham wrote in his column: "I take no pleasure in saying it. It pains me to think it. I could very well lose my job in talk radio over admitting it. But it is the plain truth: Islam is a terror organization."

And then his fears came true.

Hours after his column appeared here, Graham, a mid-morning talker at WMAL in Washington, D.C., was suspended without pay pending an investigation.

Graham's column and previous on-air comments were not the first time he's had a run-in with CAIR.

In an April, 2004 column, he details other attempts by the Muslim group to silence him.

www.wmal.com has links to both the management of the station and to Michael Graham's show. I have already voiced my support of Micheel and sent a letter of complaint to them management.


For those of us that believe in Michael Graham's right to free speech, please support him now.

I listen to Michael Graham and I agree with him here. Additionally, I will be sending e-mails to WMAL sponsors notifying them that I will be boycotting their services until Michael Graham is returned to the airwaves.

He does not, however, have the right to free speech as it pertains to employment with WMAL. WMAL can do what they want with him within the limits of his contract. I/we can then act on their decision with our pocketbooks.

But his freedom of speech is not being violated by a corporate decision.

I'm not a huge fan of Michael Graham. He can be a little bit like O'Reilly, feeling he has to balance every criticisim of the left with one of the right (even if he has to stretch reality to find one). For example, in Charleston, if you thought raising and preserving the CSS Hunley in a museum was a good idea, Graham would describe you as a "Confederista."

That said, he has hit the nail on the head with his assessment of the religion of peace, and if he loses his job over this, I will be the first Freeper pass the hat.

My letter to WMAL.

Truth For Muslims
PO Box 1056
Centreville, VA 20122

Chris Berry
General Manager
WMAL Radio
4400 Jenifer Street NW
Washington DC 20015

July 29, 2005

Dear Mr. Berry,

Islam means submission. Period.

The Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR) has successfully caused WMAL to submit to their Islamic world-view by suspending talk-show host Michael Graham for his remarks about Islam being a religion of terror.

Using coercive tactics with advertisers and by effectively using the popular ideal of tolerance, CAIR has successfully caused the management of WMAL to submit.

I can help provide for you sources which include former Muslims who were once members of prominent Islamic organizations who will go on the record about the violent nature of Islam. Although most of my contacts are under the threat of death for leaving Islam, some are willing to speak out publicly and have already done so. I can provide information attesting to the credibility of my contacts.

For some information about me, you can read a front page article which was written about me and published in the Wall Street Journal on Nov. 26, 2001. Here is a link to our online version of that article:

Sincerely and with respect,

John Marion

Sean Hannity works for ABC / Disney, and Rush Limbaugh is on their stations , Mark Levin is on WABC New York City. What does this mean for their future? George Mitchel, big Dem and other Hollywood types on top of the corportation.

Even though these people have contract, they can still get paid and not broadcast.

I can't recall one offhand, but surely someone around here has one.

Crap. Although I'm always at odds with Freepers who claim that EVERY Muslim is an enemy, I think this is stupid. This is America! You NEVER fire someone for SAYING something! I will now officially join the people here that I disagree with to write the sponsors amd Disney and demand he be reinstated.

How revealing that we live in a time when telling the Truth
when the exercise of one rights once recognized under our
US Constitution--Now serves as recipe for harrassment and
or expulsion. The apostle Paul(Saul of Tarsus)wrote to Timothy "For the time will come,when men will not be able to bear sound doctrine ,and will heap unto themselves teachers with itching ears, and will turn from the truth unto fables."Clearly no more sure evidence can be found to
suggest we live in just such a time.
