Michael Graham is a Conservative talk show host in Washington, D.C. He'd made public comments "linking the current theology and structure of Islam to the repeated acts of terror in its name." CAIR -- the same organization which recently decided not to contest statements that CAIR was founded by terrorists -- "sent mass e-mails to its members urging them to contact ABC and demand the company to punish Graham for his remarks." The result: Disney, which owns the station, suspended Graham without pay.

Score for this round so far:
Oh sure, let's give up our freedom of speech to Islamofascists. Good idea.
What you can do to help:
Call or email ABC Radio in Washington and express your support for Michael Graham and U.S. freedom of speech.

Update: Here's the email I sent:
I want to show my support for Michael Graham and for Freedom of Speech in the United States. I also want ABC and Disney to know that ABC and Disney have my full and total support to stand up to CAIR and reinstate Graham.
CAIR is an organization that recently decided it could not contest statements that CAIR was founded by terrorists. (See http://tinyurl.com/ctona for documentation.) That is the organization that wants to stop Graham from giving his views on the statements made by the terrorists themselves that they kill in the name of Islam.
Our freedom of speech is powerful precisely because it lets us get to the bottom of things like this. Sometimes we all have to fight to preserve it. This is one of those times.
ABC and Disney, please reinstate Graham with full back pay.
Thank you.
