The supporter, friends and well wishers of Washington DC 630 WMAL's Michael Graham, are gathering at the Montgomery County fairgrounds http://www.mcagfair.com/directions.htm to protest the station's suspension of Graham over his comments on Islam.

http://www.jewishworldreview.com/michael/graham072805.php3.

Graham was originally on vacation/suspension for a week, but has not been heard since his supposed return on Monday, August 8th, even though WMAL's line-up still features him and he is heard in the advertisements.

Critics of Graham's suspension including SupportMichaelGraham.com point out that no action was taken untill the Coalition on American Islamic Relations (CAIR) complained to the station about Graham's apparent 'hate speech', and that the suspension is in violation of Graham's free speech rights. In response to CAIR's complaints to WMAL and parent station ABC, management officially suspended Graham on the 28th of July. In response to the suspension, the organizers of SupportMichaelGraham.com are holding a rally at the Montgomery County Fairgrounds in Gaithersburg, Maryland in front of the WMAL booth tonight at 6pm.

Thanks for the ping.

Many of us, who would be likely to attend this, will be otherwise tied up countering the Code Pinkos at Walter Reed.

There have been sixteen FReeps of the Pinkos at Walter Reed so far. Amazingly, considering that the DC area is a liberal bastion filled with hardcore radical left-wing activists, FReepers have outnumbered them for ten straight weeks now.

Most of the activist FReepers in the DC area will be at the Friday night FReep at Walter Reed, per below thread. Sadly, the Michael Graham event was scheduled for about the worst possible time.

I hope that you can draw some FReepers who don't like to go into DC for events.

For the tenth week in a row, FReepers from the DC Chapter and beyond have outnumbered Code Pinkos at their weekly obscene anti-war blood dance outside Walter Reed Army Medical Center.  In the liberal bastion of Washington, DC, a city filled with left wing activists and where about 90 percent of the people voted against George Bush, Code Pink cannot muster enough people to achieve the desired fraud and deceit at their Walter Reed protest.

Do you think that the Pinkos are sickos to have an anti-war demonstration at a hospital holding war-wounded? Then please help us by showing up next Friday night per details below.  Stand up against the Pinkos who've endorsed the Iraqi resistance (see here and here), given money to the other side in Fallujah, and called our troops "killers." Then, the Pinkos demonstrate at the hospital and pretend that they support our troops.

We have been trying to organize something and since the Montgomery county fair has WMAL as a live broadcaster, we figured we might try to get together there.... they will be there all next week (HINT HINT!)

I've corresponded with management, Michael himself, and Chris Core. Sorry I can't be there tonight. I'm working.

The fact that it is still called the Michael Graham Show means to me they want him back. They may be negotiating terms of the return with him.

I can tell you that the next time a CAIR representative appears on any show on WMAL I will call in, email, and write to protest.

[BillF]

K, are you asking if we can stop by the WMAL booth anytime that WMAL is at the fair and ask for Michael Graham to be returned to the air?

What are the hours and days when WMAL will be there?

[Taxman]

I support Michael Graham Bump!

Hope the support rally is effective.

I'd dearly love to do it, but I have a date with a bunch of soldiers tonight at Walter Reed, from 6:30pm until 10pm. I don't want to let them down.

If it was any other night...

Aug 12 - 20 - Chris Core boradcasting from the fair. I think stopping by the booth is a great idea. We are not trying to disruspt Chris Core's show. We simply want the station to know that the fans support Michael Graham.

WE WANT HIM BACK ON THE AIR!!!

I sent Michael some links last week and asked him if we should start calling the station / advertisers again since he had asked everyone to hold off. The text of his reply follows:

"At least until the weekend. Thanks for asking and for the links."

So keep those cards and letters coming folks! See this link for a list of WMAL advertisers.
