How dare the NAACP tell me who I can or cannot endorse
| 
Aug 9 02:08 UTC 2003 |
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.

Not only can the NAACP tell him who he can endorse, but *I* can tell him who
he can endorse, and I say he can only endorse either Posh Spice or Sporty
Spice. Definately not Scary Spice or Ginger Spice.

Nice try, Jan, but you've only mentioned FOUR of the FIVE Spice Girls. You'll
have to provide 5 different sources, all of which I'll freely denigrate as
"hopelessly biased" before posting yet another straw-man argument about the
Backstreet Boys.

Why is Bruce entering items about the Backstreet Boys anyway?
Oh yeah, I forgot. It's about some guy named Leo Terrell. We're supposed
to guess what the NAACP did to Leo to get his dander up, and why he thinks
it makes any difference who he endorses for the 9th Circuit Court. Like Bush
is going to listen to him or something.
