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.
