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.

Speaking of Breitbart, I just “defriended” him on FB for some gay pics he posted. Strange guy.

Some people are so dim that their only hope is to win the lawsuit lottery.

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?

“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...

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.

“Money for ‘nothing and your house for free...”

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.
