Ousted USDA Employee Sherrod Plans to Sue Blogger [Breitbart]

ABC ^ | 07/29/10

[Mojave]

It’s a SLAPP suit.

[SaraJohnson]

The Feds, the media and the corporate elite all way to put the kabosh on free speech on the Internet. They can not maintain control over political and social messaging with the Internet around. Rinos are having a difficult time as well.

This generation of “progressives” has a lot of nerve and it is going to backfire on our country badly.

[Tzimisce]

On what grounds?

If you’re going to sue someone, it should be the guys who fired you.

Sadly, she’ll probably win.

[mockingbyrd]

One word Shirley, discovery!

Knock yourself out babe.

[S.O.S121.500]

Unfortunately for you and your DNC backers Shirley courts deal in facts, not manufactured propaganda accusations about “edited video”.
Bull Sh!t. You haven't been paying attention for a LONG time.

I believe she was a political appointee. She therefore serves at the pleasure of the president. But I dont see the relevance. She was fired for a whole 24 hours.

What is the expression -- the law is not concerned with trifles?

[freespirited]

You and I must live in different countries. The press in MY country (USA) would never do this.

Dont worry, we live in the same country. The idiot press will talk about her USDA lawsuit as if it proves her lifelong suffering. But it wont come off that way to millions of people, especially when they hear the outcome.

[Carling]

Sherrod made the announcement in San Diego at the National Association of Black Journalists annual convention.

You can't make this stuff up. Will Breitbart respond in front of the National Association of White Journalists?

[freespirited]

It’s a SLAPP suit.

Brilliant! I had not realized that but I do believe you're right.

[MNJohnnie]

McDonald V City of Chicago, the Hellar Decision and the striking down of bulk of the CFR laws indicates you have NO clue at all what you are talking about when it comes to legal issues.

You are too busy mindlessly clinging to your knee jerk emotion based gloom and doom dogmas to bother paying attention.

Turn off the 5th rate talk radio hosts who's ignorant bile you mindlessly regurgitate and try paying attention to what is going on around here for a change.

[Always Independent]

Of course it was people in his admin. He didn’t have nothing to do with it.

[dennisw]

She’s an idiot and won’t be suing because her lawyer will educate her on “discovery” and that Andrew Breitbart will do discovery on her $13 million Pigford score

[monkeybrau]

Breitbart’s response should simply be “I look forward to the legal discovery process.”

Keep this in the news through November at least. Please.

[Jacquerie]

Yep, the Left will continue to abuse the court system in order to silence their critics. He will have to come up with big $, she will be financed by rich Mercedes Marxists.

I've long hoped that conservative outlets would examine the hounding of Palin out of her governorship by the Left.

Until we respond in kind, the Left will continue to wreck the lives of conservatives.

[LaybackLenny]

Great news! Now THIS is gonna be FUN :)

[LaybackLenny]

Unfortunately for you and your DNC backers Shirley courts deal in facts, not manufactured propaganda accusations...

Well now that depends on which court and which judge you're talking about doesn't it?

[concerned about politics]

Shirley Sherrod said Thursday she will sue a conservative blogger who posted an edited video of her making racially tinged remarks last week.

It won't stand up in court. At the end of the clip, she "repents" of her blatant racism and supports socialism instead. If people missed that, it's not Breitbarts fault. It was right there for everyone to see.

[FreeAtlanta]

She is sue happy. She has raped millions from the system by suing, and she can’t stop herself. More videos of her hatred and her husbands will surface.

[concerned about politics]

Shouldn’t she be suing Vilsack for wrongful termination?

Yep. He jumped the gun first, and was the only one who did any serious damage.
She's trying to scam the wrong person. She could scam more money out of the feds than she could a blogger.

[OldDeckHand]

She has absolutely no chance of prevailing at trial. She's a public person who was serving in the capacity of a political appointee at the time this story was published. The courts have given WIDE latitude to people saying and publishing almost anything against politicians, to especially include the characterization of what politicians say in public.

Of course, she'll have a legal team paid for by donations, and Brietbart won't. She's trying to bankrupt him.
