Hannity Guest Leaves in Middle of Segment on Walter Scott Shooting: ‘I’m Done!’

One of Sean Hannity‘s guests tonight got so pissed off in the middle of a heated argument on the Walter Scott shooting that he just up and left entirely.

Leo Terrell, who’s blown up several times on Hannity’s show before, got really angry with Reverend Jesse Lee Peterson after he said people need to “stop overreacting” in cases like the Scott shooting, because of how much people overreacted in the cases of Trayvon Martin and Michael Brown.

He shouted, “I am not going to sit here and listen to this hate! I’m not gonna listen to it!”

Hannity tried to calm things down and actually sided with Terrell, but when Terrell spoke again, the second Peterson piped up, Terrell flipped out again and shouted, “You quiet down! I’m done! I’m done!”

And then, he just left.

When Hannity told this to Peterson, the reverend said, “Leo’s a little coward.”

He usually has him on because he'll start screaming, become unhinged, walk off or say something nutty.

If Terrell is unavailable, Hannity gets some loon like "Quanell X " from the New Black Panthers to stand in for the "liberal" side. Actual civil rights leaders with a following or credibility are never booked.

Meanwhile, Sean has a so-called "respectable" polite black conservative on to agree with him on everything. And they'll shake their heads and chuckle at the crazy straw man representing the other side.

It's the cable news version of pro-wrestling.

Years ago I watched Hannity..back when Alan Colmes was on. I could sort of stomach it then, even though I wished Alan was more forceful. After he left, Hannity lost was itsy bitsy piece of mind he had. I couldn't watch.

I knew he use to have that crazy preacher on that said horrible things about Obama and his mother.

Can't say I'm surprised, after all Hannity did dedicate 3 hours defending Dog the bounty hunter's use of the 'n' word. Ugh that was a spectacle.
