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.

Breitbart has it coming. Perhaps it'll be a lesson to he and others
who think they can smear people with impunity.

Sherrod is the cause of all of her problems. The fact that the cleansing
light of sunshine and transparency has cleaned another racist out of
government is a plus in my book.


You really, truly *are* an ignorant ass.

Personally, I don't give a **** if she found someone to say "she helped
us out in the end"... They seem to find folks to support their lies,
like planting signs in the tea party movement and lying about racial
insults on the steps of the congress...

She is and was a racist, one way or another. Even if she claims to have
"changed". If she was a republican and even knew of a racist, she would
be sent home on a rail, but because she is a dem, she get's another free
pass... just like the cowardly soldier boy, butt **** wanna' bee's that
stood on the steps of the voting booths with clubs and high school
musical, Michael Jackson wardrobe rejects... **** her, she is a racist,
send her packing...

If you are not on meds for your obvious emotional disorders, you ought
to be. Are you sure you don't want a referral to a mental health
professional who can help you re-attach to reality?

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.

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.

Lawyers always win. lol
