Blowback to the political donation is immediate, and shocking.
Statement from Phil Griffin, President of MSNBC:
I became aware of Keiths political contributions late last night. Mindful of NBC News policy and standards, I have suspended him indefinitely without pay.

” Am I the only one who thinks that MSNBC has no business telling that vile, deranged, sack of scum who he can and cant donate to? “
No - he got ‘suspended’ because he donated to *ONLY* three Democrats....
They expect much, much, more from their moonbats....

The first of many. Maybe all the far left libs will be honest and just recuse themselves from the news and poof no more CNN, MSNBC, NBC, ABC, CBS. Do they all sign a 'no donation' clause in their contracts? Do they sign a 'I won't show my political bias' clause? Maybe we 'got' a lot of them if they do. . . Can you legal guys out there find a copy of said contracts?

So, Phil Griffin, what about the $2 million you donate to politicians each year through GEPAC? Oh, that’s right: that’s different. Those donations are made “spontaneously” by G.E. employees. They contribute to your PAC, and then they have to ask you for a raise.

Guess he should have read his contract...
This is just too good. People who think the rules don’t apply to them, and finally receive the just consequences of their actions. It’s a good day.

So, please stop defending this scumbag piece of shiite.Well, I take the first amendment pretty seriously and don't necessarily think that a publicly held company has the right to enforce something like this.
On the other hand he did sign a contract and has the personal responsibility to live up to the terms of the contract. It is not at all surprising that he is not at all the kind of person to honor his word.
He deserves to be suspended. I question the legal basis on Constitutional grounds (IANAL.)
BTW: Wasn't my post quite clear about how I feel about Keith Uberscum?

If the Democrat vote theft machine had been more successful, he would have been promoted.
It's a very ChiCom way to do things: Execute the manager if he publicly messes up the business.
Frowning takes 68 muscles.
Smiling takes 6.
Pulling this trigger takes 2.

Aren't personal donations in the public records, easily available to anyone who looks for them?
What a moron!

Just visited DU also...even signed up to post my little “Ding dong the wicked witch is dead” ditty.
Took’em about 2 minutes to delele my post AND my registration. Hurt my feelings...not.
But, it was worth it.
They’re like a hornet’s nest somebody stuck a stick in...

"...snickering while Chris Matthews tried to embarrass Michele Bachmann." And, Michelle handled it like the man Olbermann isn't.
