Let me guess, that NYC Councilman was none other than leftist radical Charles Barron?
I heard part of the exchange just before the time he hung up. Great GOP campaign ad material.
Who is Leo Terrell?
I forget what exactly he is "famous" for. Sean said he is a friend of O.J. Simpson. There is no love lost between him and the NAACP though. He came to a defense of a black Bush judicial nominee, and the NAACP told Leo he was "off the plantation" on this, and since then, he has not liked the NAACP.
Yes, Charles Barron.
See #6.
I turned it off. The DNC talking points were a bit too obvious.
I as thinking about Leo earlier when responding to a NAACP thread. Leo (had) a longstanding relationship with the ACLU. Then he made the mistake of supporting a Bush judicial nominee. The ACLU made it very clear that they don't support conservative ideals and blackballed Terrell.
I mean, who exactly wants to be the puppetmaster - Bush or the NAACP? (sarcasm)
Barron's run for NYC mayor will be what gets Bloomberg re-elected. Baron won't win the primary, but his presence alone will scare enough people into sticking with Bloomberg.
Leo's a screamer thats for sure.
From The Washington Times:
A prominent black civil rights lawyer from California quit the NAACP this week after a disagreement with the group over his support of one of President Bush’s judicial nominees. After Leo Terrell appeared at a news conference last week in support of a nominee being blocked by Democrats, two officials of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People telephoned him and tried “bullying” him over his position, he said. “They were trying to make me goose-step with them,” said Mr. Terrell, who joined the NAACP 13 years ago and has done free legal work for the group. “I felt embarrassed to call myself a member of the NAACP. I was proud to quit.” But Hilary O. Shelton, director of the NAACP’s Washington office, said he called Mr. Terrell simply to advise him against billing himself as an “NAACP lawyer.” “He’s not an NAACP lawyer, not even a former NAACP lawyer,” Mr. Shelton said. “He’s done volunteer work for us, which we appreciate. “But when he takes a position that is diametrically opposite from our position, he’s not speaking for us,” he said. Mr. Terrell, based in Beverly Hills, specializes in civil rights and discrimination cases. He is the author of a book titled “Your Rights at the Workplace: The Things Your Boss Won’t Tell You.” He also hosts a radio talk show about legal issues and current affairs on KABC-AM in Los Angeles. His profile on the station’s Web site describes him as an attorney for the NAACP. His dispute with the NAACP comes after Mr. Terrell took a public stance in favor of California Judge Carolyn Kuhl, Mr. Bush’s nominee to the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals. Judge Kuhl is strenuously opposed by Democrats and is expected to become the fourth Bush nominee filibustered in the Senate. “She’s fair, she’s impartial,” said Mr. Terrell, who tried a case before her three years ago. “That’s all I ever want from a judge.”
Any time this Idiot wants to give it a shot I am available.
Inquire within. Kiss your significant other behind before you leave though. You may not be able to see for a few weeks!
This dude definitely needs to switch to decaf.
I've heard his hatred before. I agree that he's a scary guy.

A screaming, race-baiting, OJ defending slimeball.
