Shut Mouths & Open Bags

by La Shawn on 07.31.05

in War - Islamofascism

When the ideas of the left come into view, the themes often include the closing of Guantanamo, attacks on the Patriot Act, opposition to military recruitment on campuses, casual mockery of patriotism and a failure to admit that defeating terrorism will require some tradeoffs between security and civil liberties. (Emphasis added)

Interesting read.

Meanwhile, Islamofascists are preparing to kill more London commuters.

MG8/22/05 — Michael Graham was fired.
—————————————————————————–

Michael Graham’s instincts were correct. He was suspended for calling Islam a terror organization. As long as the radio station isn’t run by the government, WMAL is within its rights to can him, as weak-willed as it may be.

Read the column that started it all.

Michael and I chatted briefly at the Conservative Political Action Conference in February, and I was impressed that he knew who was. He’ll emerge from this wiser, bolder, and richer. Can’t wait for his book. ;)

I support you 100 percent, Michael.

Contact WMAL and tell them what you think.

(Hat tip: Michelle Malkin)

Update: A commenter says his e-mail to WMAL bounced back. Use this contact form. The switchboard telephone number is 202-686-3100, programming is 202-895-2327.

Update II (7/30): Michael Graham speaks.

Update III (7/31): Attention new readers and commenters: Please read the comment policy. I blame the fundamental misunderstanding of the First Amendment on our shoddy government schools.

The La Shawn-Obsessed

in General

When they’re not leaving phony comments attributed to me on other blogs, this is what they do.

Update (6:25 p.m.): Meanwhile…I’m taking the weekend off to get my thoughts together for this conference. As I begin to speak at more conferences, generate more publicity, and publish that first book, I suspect more lonely, anonymous slobs will scamper from under their damp and filthy rocks to see what La Shawn Barber does next. ;)

Obsession is not good for the soul.

Update II (7/31): The revolution will be televised.

Air America Issues Statement About Money Allegedly Stolen From Poor Black Kids in New York

July 29, 2005

And it’s too weak for words. The Radio Equalizer has a few questions. This is what happens when you rely on taxpayers’ money to get your awful radio outlet off the ground instead of competing and meeting the market’s demands (like conservative talk radio), a symptom of a tragic disease known as America-Utopia Socialism Delirium.

Quotas

July 29, 2005

John at Discriminations, one of my almost-daily reads, blogs about the Pontiac Fire Department’s skin color quota system. Quotas are supposed to be illegal in the U.S., but then again, so is skin color discrimination, sanctioned by the government. In what I’d call tragic irony, the U.S. government, the same one that allows skin color [...]

‘Who are you to say who can and cannot blog?”

July 29, 2005

Jeff Jarvis has crossed over to the Geek Side WordPress (good move!), and he hits the ground running in “Snob.” Some mainstream media person named Bob Cauthorn is blogging and displaying non-blogger-like behavior. Cauthorn wrote: “Memo to mainstream media: You don’t get to blog…You have a publishing apparatus. So you don’t get to blog. You [...]

Newsweek Drops Issue

July 28, 2005

It could be poor print ad sales in general or Newsweek‘s notorious anti-America bias that’s turning advertisers off. Whatever the reason, I hope their “ad pages” continue to drop. Related: Newsweek is Hiring! Newsweek Screws Up

Michael Graham: “I could very well lose my job in talk radio over admitting it.”

July 28, 2005

8/22/05 — Michael Graham was fired. —————————————————————————– “Islam is a terror organization.” The Roots of Islamic Terrorism: The nature of the terrorist threat is unambiguously Islamic and is not so much a deviation from Muslim tradition as an appeal to it. Al Qaeda’s ideology draws on two traditions to legitimize itself: one classical, the other [...]

NYC’s Random Searches

July 28, 2005

As ridiculous as it sounds, NYC is searching one out of every five subway riders for explosives in their backpacks. Any reasonable person with an ounce of common sense knows how imbecilic this is, including Mayor Bloomberg. What this PR stunt proves is that image is more important than protecting innocent commuters and making sure [...]

Tom Tancredo: A Man After My Own Heart

July 27, 2005

This man still refuses to apologize, and adds: Many critics of my statements have characterized them as “offensive,” and indeed they may have offended some. But in this battle against fundamentalist Islam, I am hardly preoccupied with political correctness, or who may or may not be offended. Indeed, al-Qaeda cares little if the Western world [...]

Ghetto Me This

July 27, 2005

It’s strange how people get upset over surface-level junk like this, yet show not the slightest bit of outrage over government-subsidized garbage like this. Unless someone with sense intervenes, low-performing poor black kids will grow up to be low-performing poor adults.

The Granny Grab

July 27, 2005

I’ve coined a new age-of-terrorism phrase: The Granny Grab. Because race/religious profiling of young men of Middle Eastern descent is “racist,” “too expensive,” and “impossible anyway.” Tony Blair said he wasn’t going to let Islamofascists change the way “we” live or how “we” fight the war on terrorism. If he doesn’t think old women being [...]

Air America Allegedly Stole Money From Poor Black Kids in New York

July 27, 2005

Blogger Brian Maloney writes: What happens when the mainstream media, after years of seething over conservative talk radio’s success, discover its alternative got diverted public funds, earmarked instead for inner-city youth and seniors? The answer, with one key exception: they pretend it didn’t happen. Yes, only because of a New York Daily News tidbit do [...]
