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.

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.

You're deluded. Everyone involved has acknowledged she was forced to resign.

Why? Something is fishy about this whole story.

Ms. Sherrod has demonstrated that she is an intelligent woman with years of
public service experience. Seems to me that the first logical question she
(or anyone) would ask when request to resign a job would be, "Why?" How
many people would immediately resign with no reason given for the request?
If the reason was given, why didn't she challenge the accuracy of the edited
video - without submitting her resignation.

Doesn't make sense.

Sure it does. She was technically appointed to the position, so she can be
technically fired. She was asked to resign, which is pretty standard
practice. There was a lot of pressure to do so. They called her and asked
her to do it immediately over the phone. Same with McCrystal. He was forced
to resign. Sure, he could have said no, but that wasn't protocol.

You also have to remember that she probably didn't know what exactly was on
the edited vid.

Well, it makes sense if the whole story of the calls to the cell phone
were accurate, and I have serious doubts. Still more falling on a sword
for this idiot president...

She was pressured into resigning as a result of a false smear
perpetrated by Breitbart.

Her only quarrel seems to be with the asshole who smeared her
unfairly.

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.

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

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.

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.
