Doesn't he look of age to join Bush's jihad?

Talk Show Host Graham Fired By WMAL Over Islam Remarks

Washington radio station WMAL-AM fired talk show host Michael Graham yesterday after he refused to soften his description of Islam as "a terrorist organization" on the air last month.

Graham had been suspended without pay from his daily three-hour show since making his comments July 25. The station had conditioned his return to the midmorning shift on reading a station-approved statement in which Graham would have said that his anti-Muslim statements were "too broad" and that he sometimes uses "hyperbole" in the course of his program. WMAL also asked Graham to speak to the station's advertisers and its employees about the controversy.

But Graham refused both conditions, prompting the station to drop him.

According to WMAL, Graham said "Islam is a terrorist organization" 23 times on his July 25 program. On the same show, he also said repeatedly that "moderate Muslims are those who only want to kill Jews" and that "the problem is not extremism. The problem is Islam."

1. He knows he'll become a right wing media darling now...

Fired looks great on a resume if you're a right wing hate monger. Perhaps they'l have a spot for him at the White House or in Congress.. he has that creepy plastic hair ala Trent Lott and Bill Frist.

4. Those RW radio hosts must all be cloned from the same defective

set of DNA. They all vaguely resemble each other -- middle-aged white males, with side parts, bad suits, smug and self-satisfied facial expressions, irritatingly loud and obnoxious voices, and a total absence of frontal lobes.
