I hope she brings Breibert down to his knee's. I would love to see him beg for forgiveness. "Please Mrs. Sherrod not the savings account"!
He didn't have the heart to apologize even though he knew he was lieing. People like that doesn't deserve a penny. Breibert almost destroyed a woman to keep creating this racial divide between us all.

Gregory Kane: Nope, Sherrod isn't past it after all | Washington Examiner (http://www.washingtonexaminer.com/opinion/columns/Nope_-Sherrod-isn_t-past-it-after-all-1004437-99476224.html - broken link)
They are going to have a tough time with this. Shirley was never the subject of the video. She just happened to be the one speaking that got the reaction from the audience which was the point of the whole video. If this suit happens to work in her favor, then the Tea Party can sue the media for their edited videos and blatant lies and smears. The judge will take precedence into consideration, this will open a huge can of worms which I bet they are not willing to do. Now, if Breitbart's point was to attack Shirley, then she would have a case, but it was not the point of the video.
Breitbart deserves to be taken to the cleaners regardless.
Who cares? Because that's exactly what got her in this mess to begin with. Her words, even in context, are not without scrutiny. Sorry to burst your bubble. Read the article. Educate yourself. You're really starting to to make yourself look like one of the sheeple that follow the left with blinders on.

No. What got her in this mess was a libelous post by a right wing blogger.
And now that blogger will likely (finally) be held accountable for his cavalier treatment of truth.
The preface that Breitbart added to the video alone is nearly a slam dunk for libel. He didn't even need to show the video.
What was the preface? Anyway here's some more legal analysis:
"John Dean, the former Nixon legal eagle, responded to Turley's analysis, noting that First Amendment standards protecting freedom of speech and the press require "extremely high levels of proof and evidence before anyone making a public statement will be held accountable for it." There must clear evidence that Breitbart knew that he was promoting false and malicious information about Sherrod."
AND
"Dean also points out that from a financial damages perspective, Sherrod has not lost her job and has been vindicated via a mass of media attention, apologies from the President on down and a job offer. Dean wrote:
With only nominal damages at issue now, no attorney is going to take on this case on a contingency basis; even if a jury (or judge) were to award punitive damages to punish Breitbart, it does not appear he has very deep pockets, and libel-law-related verdicts are often dramatically reduced on appeal. In short, filing the action would not be financially rewarding, and it certainly would be (as with all lawsuits) very expensive, easily costing over a million dollars."
Excuse me..he did not say those things..she did...he did not edit the tape, he did not cut and paste...what case..just becuase some slimeball lawyer wants to make some money..doesn't mean there is a case here...that will be for a Court to decide...
