Would $10 million do it?
(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. What exactly was "news worthy" about a highly edited event that deliberated mis-stated what she was discussing? Sounds like a pretty good case to me. It really gets back to whether she is a public figure. If showing a highly edited video that makes someone look like a moron, Bush and Clinton both have hundreds of cases. Jon Stewart would be doing hard time. They are not private citizens. She's not a public figure. Your stand is disingenuous so why take it? Breitbart has his comeuppance sitting on the horizon. Be glad. |

I wouldn't mind seeing this weasel get smacked down but I am just not sure it is going to happen. Sherrod was not an "employee" she was a political appointee. That puts her right up there with Karl Rove and Rahm Emmanual. This will be tried in DC and they are supposed to know the difference between Civil Service and patronage positions. If creative editing was a crime all of the news outlets would go to jail. So, you're claiming she wasn't fired? Again equating Rove and Sherrod is a false equivalency. Who heard about her before Breitbart when after her? Nobody. |

Jon Stewart would be doing hard time. Again with this equivalency thing? She's not comparable to former presidents. She was a low-level EPA employee. Claiming anything else is just a right-wing fantasy defense. |

She's not a public figure. It doesn't matter, she was speaking in a public forum. Speaking in a public forum doesn't make one a public figure, and even if it did, Breitbart's deliberate presentation of a tape he knew was deceiving indicates malice. He libeled her. |
