Michael "Islam is a Terrorist Organization" Graham lands new gig

Remember a few months back when CAIR got Michael Graham fired from his radio talk show in Washington for criticizing islam? Remember how ABC capitulated to moslem special interest groups in an appalling act of dhimmitude? Remember how Graham courageously refused to apologize? Well, justice has been served.

This from GOPUSA News:

(CNSNews.com) -- Radio talk show host Michael Graham, forced out of his job in the Washington, D.C., market for offending a Muslim group, has a new job in Boston, Mass. Graham is filling the afternoon drive-time slot at WTKK-FM. He called it a "new day" for his family and his career -- and an important day for talk radio and free speech as well.

"It's been three months since the Council of American-Islamic Relations demanded my removal from the airwaves and ABC Radio capitulated to their demands," Graham said on Monday, his first day on the new job.

"In those three months, many things could have happened: If ABC had had their way, I would have been falsely labeled a bigot. Even worse, I could have given into their pressure and issued a false apology, abandoning my principles for the sake of a job (a very tempting idea whenever the rent payment came due).

Instead, Graham added, the talk radio industry rallied, with KFI in Los Angeles putting him on the air the same week he was fired. Since then, Graham said, he's had more than half a dozen job offers from radio stations across the nation.

"Not one station -- not one -- demonstrated any reluctance at all to work with me due to fear of pressure from CAIR or because of ABC's decision to fire me."

The final score in the "anti-free-speech fiasco," Graham said, is "Free Speech 1; Angry Islamic Radicals and the Radio Management Weasels Who Cater To Them, 0."

Isn't it nice to get some good news for a change?

This is exactly why we're better than France. Think about what is going on there, and what Graham is free to say publicly here against CAIR's wishes.

Graham is appropriately named - Michael is the name of the Archangel! On a lighter vein, so is ole' Bill C. as in I-will-send-you-the-bill and so is Bush as in Let's-beat-around-the-bush : )
