WASHINGTON- Shirley Sherrod has filed a defamation suit against Andrew Breitbart, the conservative gadfly she alleges triggered her firing by the Obama administration and ignited a national debate on race and reverse discrimination.Sherrod was the Georgia director for rural development for the U.S. Department of Agriculture until last June, when Breitbart posted online a heavily edited video excerpt of her speaking to a Georgia civil-rights group in which Sherrod, an African American woman, suggested that she once discriminated against a white farmer seeking help.The resulting tumult led the USDA to ask for Sherrod's resignation.

Cross-claim against Obama, he ordered Sherrod fired.
To: Nachum
Speaking of Breitbart, I just “defriended” him on FB for some gay pics he posted. Strange guy.

Is there EVER a black person fired that doesn't start suing for SOME reason (usually, discrimination/race-related)?????
Is there EVER a Lawyer who won't take a case that has no merit, just to get into somebody's pocket?

How do you know they are Breitbart’s and not some leftist kook’s idea to “discredit” him?

I don’t. I didn’t make the claim. I’ve chatted with him recently and haven’t see “gay” posts. His CPAC speech was hilarious though...

She’s a black racist pig who should be jailed! POS alert!

Breitbart did nothing wrong. It was clear from the video he posted Sherrod’s speech was a message of redemption. I hope she has to pay fees and costs for this frivolous suit.

Oh-no Doc.....She has the right to reparations. Why, after all, she was once a ‘slave’. /sarc....
IMO, she is a fine example of the PC crap the our great country has bowed down to.

I agree, she should be jailed!

After looking at and being fair, Andy didn’t post that. Some guy named Don Mohr “tagged” him to a couple homo pictures. Breitbart didn’t do that. It is an attempt to slander him. These pics were posted an hour ago by Mohr.

Well, its too late now. lol.
