Shirley Sherrod Sues Andrew Breitbart Over Video

Shirley Sherrod has filed a lawsuit against Andrew Breitbart over a video released by the conservative personality that lead to her ouster as an official at the USDA.

Breitbart was served on Saturday at the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC), according to the New York Times: "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."

The video first gained widespread public attention when it was posted on Breitbart's BigGovernment.com. The two-minute, 38-second clip was widely received as an admission by Sherrod, who is African American, that she had discriminated against a white farmer. Under immediate pressure from the Obama administration, Sherrod resigned from her position as the USDA's director of rural development in Georgia.

1. I wish her well, but I don't think she will win

B-bart will just say that it was Obama and Vilsack who fired her, not him, because they were afraid of Glenn Beck saying mean things about them, and it's not my fault, blah, blah, blah....

2. That is not how the law works at all. She will win. Easily

She could have sued him had they not fired her at all. Oh yes. Andy made a series of huge mistakes. He is being sued for his own actions, not for the actions of others. He will lose.

3. Good to know. I hope this sails through and wipes him out. If this is that

straightforward you have made my day.
