They may not be the work of CAIR, and I would not be inclined to suggest that they were, but those incidents could certainly be of enormous use to CAIR.

WMAL already runs nationally syndicated hosts (Limbaugh, Hannity and Mark Levine) from noon to 9:00 P.M., when it brings up John Batchelor (also syndicated) till midnight, and then those ‘Coast To Coast‘ uh, individuals, till 3:00 A.M. How would Cumulus hope to improve on this broadcast schedule by following a formula of bringing in nationally syndicated talent? In any event, the possible sale makes the strategy of a campaign against Grandy both more attractive and more acute or time sensitive. A prospective seller does not want an embarrassing host in its line-up, or any other blemishes or controversy that might impede the sale, thus Grandy‘s vulnerability increases, making him a more attractive target.
As things stand, CAIR can claim a victory against Grandy, whether the sale takes place or not.
