Ousted Agriculture Department employee Shirley Sherrod said Thursday she will sue a conservative blogger who posted a video edited in a way that made her appear racist.

Sherrod was forced to resign last week as director of rural development in Georgia after Andrew Breitbart posted the edited video online. In the full video, Sherrod, who is black, spoke to a local NAACP group about racial reconciliation and overcoming her initial reluctance to help a white farmer.

Speaking Thursday at the National Association of Black Journalists convention, Sherrod said she would definitely sue over the video that took her remarks out of context.

I know many women, and quite a few men, who readily admit to being a cocksucker.

I've kinda been wondering when we'd hear this. I couldn't understand how someone could do what that scumbucket did and get away with it.

Did anyone else see John King hammer Breitbart while he stutters and tries to change the subject?

Oh, I'll bet he tries, too. Hopefully she'll make him sing for his money, though. (or is that, sting him in his wallet? hmmm)

What I mean is that I doubt she has much of a case. At least one law professor agrees with me.

Why isn't she suing the government? After all they're the one's who fired her, not to mention, she already knows how to play that game.

I imagine she thinks that suing Andy will both extend her 15 minutes and further her standing with her ideologues.

Depends on what grounds she sues.

Mr. Jacobson seemed unable to come up with what he thought were strong grounds for the suit. What do you imagine her best shot to be?

Here are four opinions....

•Sherrod May Very Well Win, writes Michael Yaki, an attorney and columnist at The San Francisco Chronicle: "Defamation law clearly puts Breitbart in a tough position. He deliberately aired a video that was edited in a way to put Sherrod in a very bad light. Breitbart even said on Fox News that the purpose of the tape was to show that racism existed in the NAACP, even though the speech Sherrod gave was precisely the opposite -- it was about overcoming prejudice and stereotypes. Before the tape, Sherrod was not a public figure for whom a higher legal threshold of 'actual malice' would be required, though in this case it would be hard to say that malice or a reckless disregard to the truth wasn't present."

•I Beg to Differ, writes Ed Morrissey at Hot Air: "Sue Breitbart for what, though? Defamation? Sherrod is a public official, which makes that kind of lawsuit darned near impossible. Breitbart used the clip to criticize the NAACP, not Sherrod directly, although she certainly came into the line of fire. People are allowed to criticize public officials in harsh and even unfair terms, especially when they make public remarks." Megan Friedman at Time agrees: "It is unclear at this point what she will sue Breitbart for, but she will probably have a tough road ahead of her. Years of precedent show it's extremely difficult to win a case based on libel in the U.S."

•This Will Definitely Have an Effect Beyond the Courtroom, writes Joe Gandelman at The Moderate Voice: "After working on two newspapers that were sued from time to time it is worth noting: even if a lawsuit fails, the fact it has been brought tends to instill a bit of caution. So whether he is successfully sued or not, it's likely some networks, mainstream media and more careful Internet news sites will balk before running any of his future allegations -- perhaps checking them out a bit more. Even if Sherrod loses, she will put Breirbart under the microscope and -- most likely -- on the courtroom stand."

•It's About Time, writes David Neiwert at Crooks and Liars: "This is long overdue; frankly, I always felt that both Van Jones and ACORN officials should have sued Fox and/or Breitbart after they were smeared, just so that they will think twice before smearing other people in the future. So Sherrod will be carrying the burden forward for many of us on the progressive left who have been victimized by these crooks and liars."

http://www.theatlanticwire.com/opinions/view/opinion/Will-Sherrod-Win-Her-Suit-Against-Breitbart-4516

I heard the argument about public officials from more than one source. Depending on how she is defined, that could make all the difference.

She said she wouldn`t file suit unless there was cause to do so.

I guess there are but they`ll keep their cards close until it becomes public.

No doubt the buzz amongst cons is what will bratbarf do?
