Come on, this is a little over the top.
The liberal activist group Color of Change announced Tuesday evening that it received confirmation from MSNBC that the left-leaning cable news network has indefinitely suspended conservative commentator Pat Buchanan.
The groupâs leaders launched a campaign in October aiming to have Buchanan, who they dubbed a âwhite supremacist,â removed from MSNBC programming.
âAmazing news!â a Color of Change email alert announced on Tuesday evening. âPat Buchanan and his white supremacist ideology will no longer be on TV.â
âMSNBC President Phil Griffin just confirmed that Buchanan is suspended indefinitely,â said the group, âbecause some of his ideas arenât âappropriate for national dialogue on MSNBC.ââ
On Monday evening, Buchanan denied that he had been suspended, saying on Hugh Hewittâs radio show, âI donât know anything about that. I hope to get back full up here in January, but Iâve been out for a couple of months.â Instead, he cited health issues for his absence.
Color of Change has launched several successful campaigns to remove conservative commentators from mainstream media platforms. The group was successful in encouraging many advertisers to desert Glenn Beckâs Fox News program, after Beck said that President Obama had âa deep seated hatred for white people.â
The group similarly succeeded in a campaign to have conservative website mogul Andrew Breitbart banned from the front page of The Huffington Post, after Breitbart called the organizationâs co-founder Van Jones a âcop killer-supporting, racist, demagogic freak. And a commie. And an eco-fraudster.â
