Default Breitbart to be sued by Sherrod


What a welcome piece of news...

Ousted Agriculture Department employee Shirley Sherrod said Thursday
she will sue a conservative blogger who posted a video edited in a way
that made her appear racist.

Sherrod was forced to resign last week as director of rural
development in Georgia after Andrew Breitbart posted the edited video
online. In the full video, Sherrod, who is black, spoke to a local
NAACP group about racial reconciliation and overcoming her initial
reluctance to help a white farmer.

Speaking Thursday at the National Association of Black Journalists
convention, Sherrod said she would definitely sue over the video that
took her remarks out of context. Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack has
since offered Sherrod a new job in the department. She has not decided
whether to accept.

Sherrod said she had not received an apology from Breitbart and no
longer wanted one. "He had to know that he was targeting me," she
said.



The legal pole up Breitbart's ass will cause him discomfort. It's
about time someone did to him what he's been doing to others.
