Lawsuit Over Video

Andrew Breitbart, the owner of several conservative Web sites, was
served at the (CPAC)conference on Saturday with a lawsuit filed by
Shirley Sherrod, the former Agriculture Department employee who lost her
job last year over a video that Mr. Brietbart posted at his site
biggovernment.com.

The video was selectively edited so that it appeared Ms. Sherrod was
confessing she had discriminated against a farmer because he was white.
In the suit, which was filed in Washington on Friday, Ms. Sherrod says
the video has damaged her reputation and prevented her from continuing
her work.

Mr. Breitbart said in a statement that he “categorically rejects the
transparent effort to chill his constitutionally protected free speech.”
