This week Limbaugh stuck his foot in it by denying something that was on his own website, and speaking of problematic quotes on your own website, fans of Michael Graham, the disgraced WMAL-AM talkshow host currently under a seemingly never-ending suspension for gross acts of incitement and lies, were momentarily cheered today when they saw Graham's personal website was back online.
But then they must have realized that there was something missing, and that the entire contents of homepage, which once included the blog featuring his oft-repeated falsehoods such as "All" suicide bombers are Muslims, had been wiped clean of all evidence of the statements that got him kicked off the air in the first place (still cached here).
Is Graham, author of “Redneck Nation” (now available for $1.76), no longer proud of his lie-to-provoke strategy that has got him fired once again? Could two hate-attacks within one week during the height of the controversy he manufactured have caused him to regret his wanton romp into extremist land? Graham supporters, who may not have realized they were backing the kind of personality who started making jokes about the Colombine shooting victims before the bodies were even cold, are starting to post less and less on the website that was set up to cheerleader the war cheerleader, and their posts are sounding more and more desperate (how can a radio station ignore loony zealots in need of a life? how?) -- in other words, like a lot of laptop warriors sound after getting reality checks.
All those Graham Crackers out there better keep wearing their Free Michael Graham T-shirts (and covering their asses) while they can, because they are quickly going out of style.
