Andrew Breitbart, the owner of several conservative Web sites, was served at the conference on Saturday with a lawsuit filed by Shirley Sherrod, the former Agriculture Department employee who lost her job last year over a video that Mr. Brietbart posted at his site biggovernment.com.
The video was selectively edited so that it appeared Ms. Sherrod was confessing she had discriminated against a farmer because he was white. In the suit, which was filed in Washington on Friday, Ms. Sherrod says the video has damaged her reputation and prevented her from continuing her work.
Mr. Breitbart said in a statement that he “categorically rejects the transparent effort to chill his constitutionally protected free speech.”
For those who may not be completely aware of the particulars of this despicable act by Breitbart, his cohorts, and Fox News, let Rachel Maddow bring you up to speed.
Andrew Breitbart is particularly disgusting piece of human excrement and I hope that Sherrod sues him into abject poverty.
And just in case you are not as incensed over this pathetic little prick as I am let me just show you a cartoon that he featured on his website just yesterday.
Update: Here is Sherrod's entire libel complaint.
