| After roughly 25 years on line, not many things on the internet can actually get me to LOL or LMAO but once in a while a real gem... usually involving some well deserved karma... comes along and you just can't help yourself. This is one of those.
From David Niewert's link on C&L: Ousted USDA Employee Sherrod Plans to Sue Blogger
As Mr. Niewert so perfectly nailed it on his intro:
That loud PLOP you just heard was Andrew Breitbart crapping a brick at this news:
From the article:
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. Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack has since offered Sherrod a new job in the department. She has not decided whether to accept.
Exactly dead on ma'am. Kick his worthless ass, once and for all. Take the sonofabitch for everything he's got and everything he's ever likely to have, including the domain for that litany of lies, half truths and innuendo he calls a blog. I used to scrape shit off my boots every evening after work that was worth considerably more than Andrew Fricking Breitbart and anything he has to say.
Sherrod said she had not received an apology from Breitbart and no longer wanted one. "He had to know that he was targeting me," she said.
Breitbart did not immediately respond to a call or e-mails seeking comment. He has said he posted the portion of the speech where she expresses reservations about helping the white farmer to prove that racism exists in the NAACP, which had just demanded that the tea party movement renounce any bigoted elements.
Bullshit! The so called news media in this country has been given the right by an out of control federal court system to say anything it damned well wants to. It can lie, slander, libel and/or defame anyone or any group it decides it wants to target and the government is just going to ignore it.
Well, in most cases they're going to ignore it. In this one however... which they SHOULD have ignored... they went into a dithering tizzy and came down on the side of the slanderers and libelers and wound uo making themselves look like the Apple Dumpling gang in Brooks Brothers suits. In other words, this administration is rapidly coming to deserve it's nickname... The Gang That Couldn't Shoot Straight.
The farmer came forward after Sherrod resigned, saying she ended up helping save his farm.
Vilsack and President Barack Obama later called Sherrod to apologize for her hasty ouster. Obama said Thursday that Sherrod "deserves better than what happened last week."
Addressing the National Urban League, he said the full story Sherrod was trying to tell "is exactly the kind of story we need to hear in America."
Obama has acknowledged that people in his administration overreacted without having full information, and says part of the blame lies with a media culture that seeks conflict but not all the facts.
And you've known this... how long, sir?
At the journalists convention, Sherrod was asked what could be done to ensure accurate coverage as conservatives like Breitbart attack the NAACP and other liberal groups.
Sherrod, 62, responded that members of her generation who were in the civil rights movement "tried too much to shield that hurt and pain from younger people. We have to do a better job of helping those individuals who get these positions, in the media, in educational institutions, in the presidency, we have to make sure they understand the history so they can do a better job."
She said Obama is one of those who need a history lesson.
No kidding. When it comes to dealing with people like Breitbart... who does this on a regular basis and in fact has apparently never done much else... at least some of the people who speak for him appear unable to remember what happened last year or six months ago.
More at the link. Once and for all... the man is a congenital liar who will never be compelled to tell the truth when a lie serves his agenda more... which is all the time. You do NOT go off half cocked over anything this cretin says because in the end... as in both the ACORN and Sherrod cases... you wind up with hen fruit dribbling down your chin. Which is probably a large part of the ultimate goal in the first place and definitely the fallback.
This is one classy lady and I hope Andrew Breitbart winds up with her footprint permanently embossed in his worthless ass. Anyone who gives this turd the slightest degree of credibility in anything is an idiot. You understand what I'm saying, Bill O'Reilly?
Oh yeah, I almost forgot... LMAO |
