Well excellent. He gets to go through ALL her stuff during discovery.
She might have a case against Vilsack. He fired her before the story even broke, and he said he was firing her for fear of what Glenn Beck would do with the story.
If she wants to sue, there’s her target. Breitbart didn’t do anything to her, Vilsack did.
Now, Vilsack said that he fired her in part because he was trying to move forward having dealt with thousands of discrimination lawsuits. He didn’t mention directly that one of the biggest ones was Sherrod’s lawsuit that cost his department $13 million dollars. It seems strange that she would be working for a department that she also successfully sued for $13 million.
I’m not sure how much of the thirteen million was her share. She and her husband were awarded $300k, and also I believe a piece of the 13 million, but I’m not sure how many ways the money was divided out. Still, seems like a conflict of interest on her part, and also seems like Vilsack may have had other reasons for wanting her gone.
I watched a clip of her on another site, where she is a guest on The View and I swear I thought Joy “The Pig” Behar and some other guest were going to fight over Sherrod. You could see the hate in her eyes when Elizabeth was speaking.
In her full transcript she actually proves Breitbart’s case, when she accuses Repubs of being racists for opposing health care.
So, while allegedly proving that she no longer sees the world through racial lenses, she actually proves the reverse. She is not capable of seeing the world any other way.
Excellent — I hope he counter-sues over the false and slanderous claims/charges she’s made about him on her little public pontification tour.
Get whitey.
Suicide by litigation.
Both career and reputation...
“This lawsuit will make a big splash and keep the story alive for a while, but its value is strictly limited to PR.”
In my opinion, this is what this lawsuit is all about. She is trying to stay relevant in an environment no longer falling for the race card. She is probably receiving financial incentives from someone to keep this story going as a distraction to whatever else the administration has up their sleeves. And one can only speculate what kind of internal psyche reward she is receiving from being important to someone for let’s see oh about 48 hrs!
Bring it on.
Countersue her.
She has to prove personal malice; he has to prove her stupidity. There will be other statements/deeds.
40 acres and a mule, my as*!
She sure goes to a lot of black-only events for someone who "is not a racist." Just sayin'...and of course the "journalists" will get the word out for her. How convenient.
Go Shirley Go. Do it and prove to the world what a racist you are.
Delicious!
Liberal law firms were probably stalking her begging her to let them pursue the case pro bono just to earn points with the high priests and parishioners of their religion.
Bring it on, Ms. Shirley. I hear discovery can be a real bitch.
What the hell are her damages? Not only can she have her old job back if she wants it, the dept is willing to create a super special tax payer funded awesomely wonderful job just for Shirley.
How has she been damaged by this?
Sherrod is going to sue Breitbart because he is white.
Love it. She’s a fool. Keep playing that video of the audience reaction to her story. Keep publicizing her views. Our most-racial pResident ought to be proud.
