She's not a public figure and he targeted her specifically and unfairly characterized her in order to cause her harm. That isn't protected under the 1st amendment. Since she was a political appointee and not US Civil Service it would be easy to say she was a public figure. This will be an issue before the court. It will really come down to where she brings the suit and who is on the jury. If she is in DC she will likely win and since that is where Breitbart works, he has no reason to get a change of venue. The only way he can win is if he can successfully bring the freedom of the press argument up in appeal or of the judge dismisses it in motions but that is a very good possibility. The courts seem to come down on the side of journalists most of the time even if the journalist has an agenda. Again, the only winners will be the lawyers. Uh...I doubt Ms. Sherrod would be considered a "public figure" prior to Breitbart's attack for her purposes of pursuing a defamation lawsuit. And even if she were a public figure, Breitbart acted with malice. That negates any claim Breitbart might make that Ms. Sherrod was a public figure. Jurors in any fair-minded city where people of color are fairly represented will decide in her favor, I think. Let's not forget that Breitbart has a rep for being involved in defamatory news reports. The videos he funded against Acorn were found to be "highly edited" to make them inflammatory. My guess is that Breitbart will want to settle this out of court. I hope Ms. Sherrod tells him to go **** himself. We have some lawyers in the DC area who will turn Breitbart inside out. I hope he has significant assets to lose. |

He stopped listening when they discovered her story was about reconciliation. Precious minutes of life wasted even addressing his stupidity. |

In article , says... Sherrod resigned. She wasn't fired or otherwise forced out. If she has a suite it is with OMB. If the press was sued for printing half the story they would not exist any more regardless of whether you classify them as main stream media or another type of media. She was pressured into resigning as a result of a false smear perpetrated by Breitbart. She was pressured into resiging by a knee-jerk reaction by Obama and Vislack, both of whom are Democrats. Her only quarrel seems to be with the asshole who smeared her unfairly. Her quarrel seems to be with herself and how she is a racist. That's the beauty of a free society. You get to choose who you sue and for what reasons. If this scum bag hadn't have purposefully targeted her with concocted accusations, her life and employ would have continued undisturbed. You mean if she had kept her mouth shut and not outed herself as a racist. You are a stupid idiot, which is not a fresh pronouncement. She was found to be anything but racist but you're too much of an ass to listen to the whole story since it doesn't support your simple conclusion. All these years of wisely ignoring you and I wasted my time reading your predictable drivel. My bad. |

Again, the only winners will be the lawyers. Lawyers always win. lol |
