[RamboLiberal]

After Friday’s news, Olbermann fell silent – but his supporters were vocal. As of Sunday night, more than 275,000 people had signed an online petition on the website saveolbermann.com to reinstate the talk show host.

One fan even created a Twitter account with the name 'Team Keith Olbermann' and numerous users tweeted MSNBC president Phil Griffin's phone number, encouraging followers to call and complain about Olbermann's suspension.

"MSNBC President Phil Griffin's office number has been changed due to constant phone calls regarding @keitholbermann," @Team Keith Olbermann tweeted proudly on Sunday.

23. VICTORY is Ours! Griffin Caves - KO back Tuesday!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

MSNBC said late Sunday it will return Keith Olbermann to its television lineup on Tuesday, four days after it suspended the liberal host because he had given money to three Democratic candidates in the 2010 midterm elections.

The General Electric Co. network had originally suspended Mr. Olbermann indefinitely, without pay, citing NBC News policies against allowing its news personnel to contribute to political campaigns.

But in a statement Sunday, network President Phil Griffin said he had "determined that suspending Keith through and including Monday night's program is an appropriate punishment for his violation of our policy."

He added: "We look forward to having him back on the air Tuesday night."
