Breaking: Pigford Madam Shirley Sherrod Sues Andrew Breitbart
Right Network - Gateway ^ | 02/13/11 | Jim Hoft

Shirley Sherrod, the public face of the $1 Billion Pigford Scandal, Is Suing Andrew Breitbart–

In July of last year, Andrew Breitbart and Big Government released video of former Ag employee Shirley Sherrod admitting during a speech to the NAACP that she did not assist a poor white farmer as much as she could have because of his “attitude” and race. Sherrod said it was years ago, she said she learned from her experiences, she said blah-blah-blah… The state-run attacked and smeared Andrew Breitbart and FOX News for showing only a segment from Sherrod’s speech.

In late July an anonymous reader sent me this video revealing the rest of the racist remarks from Sherrod’s NAACP speech. Of course, the state-run media never showed you this: The papers were served yesterday at the CPAC 2011 Conference. Larry O’Connor of Breitbart TV was also sued. Big Government reported:

2 interest points from the link..... 1)"At the press conference, Mr. Breitbart revealed two hours of audio of Thomas Burrell, the head of the Black Farmers & Agriculturalist Association, Inc., teaching non-farmers in the South how to commit fraud in the Pigford “back-door” reparations case. This audio conclusively demonstrates how people have conspired to grow the class of Pigford claimants to 94,000, when in fact, there were only about 18,000 black farmers in the entire country during the relevant time period, and when there were never anticipated to be more than a few thousand potential claimants among those 18,000. The numbers just do not and cannot add up." 2) "The lawsuit served today does not name as co-Defendants President Barack Obama, the USDA and USDA head Tom Vilsack, even though it is they who fired the Pigford claimant, and who, according to the Pigford claimant herself, denied her due process."

Things are getting interesting...

She’s in for quite a ride. If she thinks this will divert attention from the Pigford settlement, she is mistaken.

Has she got her check yet? I know Congress passed this travesty last year. Off the record ... of course.

I bet Andrew has more damaging information than what he has already disclosed....that’s his MO.

I remember Breitbart clearly stating that he didn't know what was on the rest of the tape and it shouldn't be used to judge Sherrod. His interest was in the behavior of the NAACP crowd as she told the story of screwing over the white guy. They were clearly pleased.

In my opinion, Breitbart knows how to get slime to crawl out of their gutters where they spawn.

I don't care about Shirley Sherrod or Andrew Breitbart. I care about the BILLIONS Congress approved for this massive reparations fraud - which dwarfs Enron. CAN THE HOUSE GOP STOP THIS MONEY FROM BEING PAID? CAN THIS BE STOPPED IN COURT? THOSE ARE THE KEY QUESTIONS HERE.

Plus, in cases of libel...the truth is an absolute defense. Her words and statements are indefensible.

Brietbart has nothing to worry about. Unless Ol' Shirley gets huhself a racist black judge. And I'd bet dollars to donuts she and her legal team are out shopping for one right now.

These “settlements” are nothing but one of the wealth transfer schemes from whites that have the ability to blacks that need the money.

This is going to be good. I am willing to donate to Andrew’s legal defense fund.
