Defend Paul Harvey against attacks

According to a report from CNSNews.com,
"Genera Electric, in response to Muslim complaints, has decided to pull its lighting advertisements from Paul Harvey's syndicated radio show, at least for the time being."

On Dec. 4, the 84-year-old Harvey was describing cockfighting
in Iraq when he made the following comment on-air: "Add to
the thirst for blood a religion which encourages killing, and
it is entirely understandable if Americans came to this bloody
party unprepared."

The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), a Muslim
"civil rights" group, objected to the phrase "a religion which
encourages killing," and it demanded an apology. About a week
later, Harvey issued an apologetic statement through a fill-in
host.

And who is this CAIR? According to terrorism expert Daniel
Pipes, CAIR "presents itself as just another civil-rights
group... In reality, CAIR is something quite different. For
starters, it's on the wrong side in the war on terrorism."

CAIR has said that depicting Osama bin Laden as "the sworn
enemy" is "offensive to Muslims"; when President Bush closed
the "Holy Land Foundation" for collecting money he said was
"used to support the Hamas terror organization," CAIR decried
his action as "unjust" and "disturbing"; and the FBI's former
chief of counterterrorism, Steven Pomerantz, has even
concluded that "CAIR, its leaders and its activities
effectively give aid to international terrorist groups."

And it's THAT group that is now attacking Paul Harvey for
a single on-air comment... and what's worse, General Electric
is listening to them!

It's time for GE to listen to YOU instead.

ACTION ITEM: Paul Harvey is a true-blue, red-blooded American
patriot, and a long-standing icon on American airwaves.
Shouldn't hard-working, patriotic Americans like you and I
stand up for him when he's attacked by radical groups like
CAIR?

A GE spokesman was quoted as saying that the company hasn't
yet decided whether to resume its advertising on Harvey's
syndicated radio show, which has 24 million weekly listeners
on some 1,600 radio stations in this country and around the
world.
