How dare the NAACP tell me who I can or cannot endorse

Los Angeles civil rights attorney and radio talk show host Leo Terrell
(search), who has made headlines in recent years for defending friend O.J.
Simpson, and speaking out against the Bush administration, accused the
National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (search) of "an
old-fashioned backdoor power-play," and vowed to use his weekly radio show
to incriminate the 94-year-old civil rights organization. 

"How dare the NAACP tell me who I can or cannot endorse on an individual
basis. That is the part that makes this so outrageous," Terrell told
Foxnews.com. "I am going to tell the whole world what the NAACP did to me."

Terrell said he has been a vocal supporter of California judge Carolyn Kuhl
(search), nominated by President Bush to the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals
(search). The Senate vote on her confirmation was postponed until September
by Democratic opponents who cite legal briefs she wrote in the 1980s under
the Reagan administration to suggest her record is too far to the right on
privacy, civil rights and abortion.
