CBS COWARDS CAVE TO CAIR on KELLER

Islamists (and the left's useful idiots) are now firmly in control of the  national conversation. CBS cowered to CAIR's bullying like white livered, gutless worms. CAIR EMAIL ALERT:

CAIR: FLORIDA TV STATION DROPS ANTI-ISLAM PROGRAM

(TAMPA, FL, 8/24/07) €“ The Tampa chapter of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR-Tampa) announced today that a local television station has dropped a program that promoted hatred of Islam and Muslims.

Uh oh, Keller must have recited passages from the Koran.

CAIR-Tampa said WTOG-TV (CW 44) dropped “Live Prayer with Bill Keller” after the station and its parent company CBS received a letter from and had discussions with the Islamic civil rights and advocacy group.

Keller told the St. Petersburg Times: "Ultimately, it was pressure by CAIR that intimidated these people into taking me off the air. It was not mutually agreeable. They told me they were taking me off the air, period."

The controversial late-night Christian talk show host, known for his biting criticism of religious, political and pop culture figures, is going off the air. Keller, 49, says he ran afoul of the Tampa Chapter of the Council of American Islamic Relations. The group calls Live Prayer with Bill Keller a hate-filled broadcast that damages Muslims and Islam.

It aint Keller that "damages Muslims and Islam" - it's the dogma and violent war its declared on the West.

Earlier this month, CAIR asked CBS executives to remove Keller's nightly talk show from WTOG-TV Ch. 44, a CBS-owned station that airs the CW network locally. The group was upset about a spate of recent broadcasts by Keller that disparaged Islam and the prophet Mohammad.

They are upset about freedom of speech? America is upset that they fund Islamic jiahd and have terror ties to hezbollah.

CAIR's leaders say both local and network representatives assured them that the program would no longer air on the station after Sept. 11. WTOG station manager Laura Caruso said the decision to end Keller's contract was a mutual decision and had nothing to do with complaints from individuals or groups.

Dhimmi liar can't even stand up for their stand against Keller.

Keller disagrees.

He confirmed today that his show will no longer air after Aug. 31. But he cites CAIR's complaints as the primary reason for his departure, saying he had no desire to leave the station that has broadcast his program weekdays from 1 a.m. to 2 a.m. for nearly five years.

Here is Bedier's youtube "indictment" of Keller. Seems to me Keller makes salient points.

The TV network CBS (formerly known as the Columbia Broadcasting System) has CBS: Cut Balls Syndrome.

No guts, no testicular fortitude, no balls.

Ahmed Bedier almost seems to be bragging in the comment section about his success with ending the career of a critic of Islam.

[shmujew]

this man should be given a REAL peace prize.....because he tells the truth ....What a mensch!

Almost frightening, this trend. The saying is something like: " TO find out who is the one in power, find out who is the person the people are afraid to speak of above a whisper."

Well, we have now "to screw our courage to the sticking point" or as the Cowardly Lion said, "Get courage!"

CBS - Cunts, Ballless Shitheads

I am all for the truth and don't care much for CAIR, but Bill Keller hates everybody. He attacks every group that views God differently than he does. There are more certainly more intelligent and thoughtful people out there to make the point against Islamic jihad. If I was a Muslim, heard the Mr. Keller, and thought that his viewpoints represented Christains, I would believe that Christains were indeed a hateful religion that needs to be contained at all cost. Mr Keller's "Christainity" is another form of jihad. The only difference is Mr. Keller uses Christ as an excuse for hate and bad behavior instead of Mohammad.
