Email Comments 347 Dan Choi announced today that he is boycotting MSNBC over the network's suspension of Keith Olbermann.

"I'm declining interviews on MSNBC and affiliates until @KeithOlbermann is reinstated," Choi wrote on his Twitter page.

Choi, an outspoken critic of the military's "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" policy, has been a frequent guest on MSNBC shows. He announced that he is gay on Rachel Maddow's show last year.

According to Adam Green of the Progressive Change Campaign Committee, MSNBC asked Choi to appear on the network on Monday, and Choi declined.

Choi also encouraged his followers to sign a petition organized by the PCCC to reinstate Olbermann. To date, close to 270,000 people have signed the petition.

Keith stands up for us, we have to stand up for him too.

5. Kudos to Lt. Choi - This man is kind of man West Point should be proud of

As opposed to that liar Joe Miller!

I wish all the guests would boycott MSNBC or at least the Countdown hour. I skimmed my preset recording of Countdown Friday trying to find the comment on Olbermann being suspended & was disappointed to see Eugene Robinson on with the replacement host.
