(AP) - Ousted Agriculture Department employee Shirley Sherrod says she
will sue a conservative blogger who posted an edited video of her making
racially tinged remarks last week.

Sherrod made the announcement Thursday in San Diego at the National
Association of Black Journalists annual convention.

The edited video posted by Andrew Breitbart led Agriculture Secretary
Tom Vilsack to ask her to resign, a decision he reconsidered after
seeing the entire video of her March speech to a local NAACP group. In
the full speech, Sherrod spoke of racial reconciliation and lessons she
learned after initially hesitating to help a white farmer save his home.

Breitbart libeled Sherrod big time, and also did her great harm. He's
not going to be able to hide behind a freedom of the press claim. His
activities against Ms. Sherrod were *not* absent malice. Malice was
uppermost on his mind.

Gosh darnit you beat me to another one.

Let's dance in the streets in celebration and hope that others will
pile on this piece of **** Breitbart.

Posting a video for public consumption of a news worthy event? Sherrod
is going to be laughed out of court if the suit isn't summarily
dismissed.
