Buchanan says the calls for his firing began with the publication in October of his book "Suicide of a Superpower: Will America Survive to 2025?" about America's decline, which critics have called racist, homophobic and anti-Semitic.
Upon his suspension, Buchanan quotes MSNBC President Phil Griffin as telling the press regarding his new book, "I don't think the ideas that [Buchanan] put forth are appropriate for the national dialogue, much less on MSNBC."
Buchanan, a former White House communications director under Ronald Reagan and a former Republican presidential candidate, had been with MSNBC as a political analyst since 2002.(16522542256222)
On his website, Buchanan called his ouster "an undeniable victory for the blacklisters."
Among the groups he cites as his accusers: Color of Change, Media Matters, the Anti-Defamation League and the Human Rights Campaign.
