Ousted USDA employee Sherrod plans to sue blogger

Ousted USDA employee Sherrod plans to sue blogger

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

Senh: Yeah, people who are responsible for putting up that video should be held accountable, especially since it seems like it was done intentionally. Andrew Breitbart kinda runs the Drudge Report (he picks the stories), so it'll be interesting to see what happens with the site.

 

Sherrod Not Inclined to Return to Job

Shirley Sherrod, the Agriculture Department official, also says she believes she deserves a telephone call from President Obama.

Senh: Thanks to the power of the internet, we have people jumping to conclusions without spending the proper amount of time to fully and thoroughly investigate a case before making decisions. Sherrod's boss should be reprimanded for making such a haste decision. I don't think Sherrod should ask to speak to the President though. Let this thing end quickly. Barack Obama already has enough on his mind. He doesn't need anymore distractions.
