1 can she find out who leaked the tap through discovery?

2 also, who is paying for her attorney fees? the government or out of her own pocket? or media matters?

3 Can her commie, white people hating, husband then be deposed?

4 Briar patch.  Rabbit.  Assembly.

5 I bet the National Association of BJ's loved it.

6 Hmmmmmm

I've noticed that Shirley hasn't taken Obama up on his job offer.

Powerful Persuader, He.

The full-full Sherrod tape is going to come out, which - if Brent Bozell is to be believed, and I'm not saying he is - puts Sherrod back into a bad light, along with the NAACP.

Thank god nobody on the Left or Right  has come forward to claim either of Breitbart's $100K rewards.

7 What was she doing at a Journalists convention?

8 There's this legal term I've heard about:  "Discovery"

How does that work?

9

My guess is he's salivating at the chance to get her under oath during a deposition.

Discovery, baby, discovery.

10 Sherrod is a serial plaintiff. Just witness the cash she has already gotten out of the USDA. This is just an attempt to get a settlement out of Breibart. She might have a chance with a regular corporation. Not with a news company. This is plenty of free publicity for which they are guaranteed an inside scoop. No way they will settle.

11 I thinking that Breitbart's lawyers are rubbing their hands with glee over the prospects of discovery.

12 Careful with the Bre'r Rabbit references. You'll be named as a co-conspirator.

13

She needs to shut her whore mouth already.

15 Rumor has it that Shirley has a bunch of friends who were thinking of making racially charged speeches to the NAACP and now they've been scared away and are due damages in the form of lost appearance fees.

16 Jeez, he didn't alter her words at all. Yes, it was truncated, but still her words. Will news organizations have to play every minute, of any speech, from anyone, from now???.... or be subject to "context" lawsuits?

17 Sherrod will not have to pay for a lawyer.  I am sure that there are several muck raking lawyers lined up to take her case on contingency or maybe even pro-bono.  To these people there is no such thing as 'bad' publicity.

18 I wonder how long it will take Rahm to call her and tell her to drop it.  Ain't no good going to come out of this.

19 Will news organizations have to play every minute, of any speech, from anyone, from now???.... or be subject to "context" lawsuits?

Just FOX.  The rest will be able to do whatever they want.

20

How does that work?

Not to her advantage-that I can say with certainty. Bitch can't shut her mouth.

And where the hell is her injury? She became a media darling and was offered an even better job. Good luck with your lawsuit, honey.

21 Just FOX. The rest will be able to do whatever they want. Posted by: HeatherRadish at July 29, 2010 12:24 PM (jV+np) Yeah maybe, but nobody watches the other networks

22 I think Breitbart just accomplished the Best Troll Evah!

Discovery is going to a thing of wonder for Brietbart's empire.   Dragging the Usual Suspects infront of an actual court, not some damn Congressional Committee, and asking them "What did you know and when did you know it?".

The complete Sherrod Under The Bus timeline will be exposed.

23 How about a class action suit against Podesta for the intentionally fake and deceptive "tea partiers are racist" video.  That one was clearly intentionally deceptive in order to do damage to people.

24 hang on a second -

Regardless of the outcome of her interactions with the po' white farmers, Sherrod commited a "racist act" by her own admission at the start of that interaction.

Can the po' white farmers sue Sherrod for the extra couple of months of stress and emotional pain they suffered before Sherrod decided that helping them, despite their race, was part of her job?  Of course not.  That was 20+ years ago.

But, Jeez O'Grady ...
.

25

Yeah, I know... white racism... yada, yada... president uniter... yada, yada...

hate filled racist crackas... yada, yada...

 

Just one question: Who the hell benefits from submerging us in this cesspool?

It sure as hell isn't the right!

26 I am available to hear your case Mrs. Sherrod.

27

"Will news organizations have to play every minute, of any speech, from anyone, from now???.... "

We would never have to endure another clip of Hugo Chavez ever again.  It would have to replace Shark Week.

28 Let the bitch take him to court.  Every time she opens her mouth, it'll just prove Breitbart's point.

29

20

Was wondering that myself.  When she first brought up the idea of suing, I was wondering exactly what she was going to sue him for?????? 

30

And wtf is this??

Per The Hill re Bambi on The View--

 President Obama waded into the national race debate in an unlikely setting and with an unusual choice of words: telling daytime talk show hosts that African-Americans are “sort of a mongrel people.”

31

Somebody is paying the bill for this.

They want Breitbart to pay and he will have to in order to defend himself.

Mission accomplished.

32 What else does this talentless hack have to do? 

33 My guess is he's salivating at the chance to get her under oath during a deposition.

Discovery is a bitch.

Bring it on!

34 lacey, he also said whiteys are too.  Just not as "mongrelly" or something.  Le sigh.

35 What I realized years ago is this wasn't about helping whites and blacks, it was about helping poor people, because that sounds better... and by poor people, I mean blacks.

36

Wonder if Judge Bolton will be presiding? 

I mean, preemption, penumbras...it's all good. 

37 Times like these, I like to go back to some sage advice from the wise Nikki Sixx.

38

The original exerpted video (not edited) showed her change of heart (i.e. the context of her story about the farmer) ...  Brietbart also acknowledged it in his original piece as well ...

besides, out of context is not a falsehood ...  and after seeing the entire video I'm not sure that there was any good context shown ...  she admitted to being a racist 24 years ago ...  she also tried to make some ammends ...   but the fact is she admitted to being a racist ...

if he claimed she said X and the truth is she didn't say X then she would have a point ...  she said it, she did it, she meant it (24 years ago) ...

can you liable yourself ? no really, can your own words liable you ?

39 I still don't get how someone can sue over this.  YouTube is full of snippets of people doing or saying bad things that maybe wouldn't be so bad if we saw the whole video in context. We see liberal bloggers play snippets/soundbites of conservatives all the time that are clearly taken out of context, but are meant to portray that person in a negative light. Palin and Limbaugh are examples of this. Can they sue? 

I wonder who's pulling Sherrod's strings on this, and who's paying her legal fees. I doubt she came to this decision on her own. 

40 What else does this talentless hack have to do?  Posted by: Delta Smelt at July 29, 2010 12:30 PM

There is always gubmint wor.... oh wait.

41 She may seem like a doofus, but she's sitting on a couple of $million from her previous long-running lawsuit.

Of course, that one was only about handing out more government money, so it's possible that it wasn't really all that much of a slug-fest.

Plus, she's going to be getting covert assistance from everyone who hates Breitbart....meaning the entire Ruling Class.

42

What I realized years ago is this wasn't about helping whites and blacks, it was about helping poor people, because that sounds better... and by poor people, I mean blacks. me.

FTFY

43 I wonder if her lovely kids, Kenyatta and Russia will be in court?

(Hmmm.  Youngest Barky child is Sasha.  That has kind of a Russian ring to it.)

44 She won't sue. Even though it's been her path to riches and glory in the past...there's too much heat this time.

45

_{Careful with the Bre'r Rabbit references.}

Whar is dat Boo Bird?

46 I'd love to see video of this. Did the assembled journalists applaud or react negatively to the idea of suing someone for trafficking in news?

Actually, we are quite seriously opposed to the idea of presenting news that has not first been vetted by the White House. I mean seriously, what happens to this country if people can see the unvarnished truth on a regular basis?

47
Keep this in the news all summer and fall, lefties.

48 One question that Breitbart should ask Sherrod's lawyer(s):

"Your license(s) to practice law; exactly what size picture frame do it/they fit?"

49 I'm deeply offended by this discussion.

50 Never get in a fight with someone who buy ink by the barrel.

51 she will sue a conservative blogger who posted an edited video of her making racially tinged remarks last week.

So, just to be clear here, is the argument now that presenting a clip that is less then 100% of the run length captured is an edit?

Was the Rodney King video edited? The Mission Accomplished clip?

52

You know, all the foofaraw over Breitbart, and whether he needed to apologize, or be defended, or whatever...

 

I said before - he's a big boy he can take care of himself.  He knows what he is up to.  And he is winning.  Yes, out-Alinsky the Alinskyites.  Because they aren't going to stop. 

But smash a few of their faces through plate glass windows - so to speak - and they are going to start being more careful. 

As for those who decided they needed to distance themselves from Breitbart, or try to join in the maumau-ing or to maumau for him - well, you might want to be nice to people who are helping you.

Just saying. 

 

53 Sasha is the dimunitive of Natasha.  Shit you not.  I guess if they have a son, he will be named Boris, on accuont of B-O being the first two letters.   Like the dog.

Smartestest Excutive, Evah!

55

Oh, and good thing this is a closed list, and none of this will ever get out! 

56 Wonder if ACORN will climb on board with a suit.  Combining the two grievances will allow for a new legal precedent:  "actually quoting what liberal activists say and do, and presenting it without context which thereby embarasses the Obama administration is an unjust and unwarranted attack." 

57 Hahahaha, here she will find out that suing a journalist is ot like suing a sympathetic government who will just roll over as part of the strategy.

Discovery will be wonderful. This woman is eat up with teh stupid.

58

 1 can she find out who leaked the tap through discovery?

Posted by: Ben at July 29, 2010 12:16 PM (wuv1c)

< Breitbart can protect his sources but could be compelled to release the name by a judge.  However, the issue is not whether Breitbart may have been handed an incomplete tape, the issue is what he said. Whether the tape was presented to him complete or incomplete is not in and of itself a legal wrong. Therefore, the source behind the tape is not necessarily relevant.  It's interesting but at the end of the day not relevant. The journalistic standard is to vet and investigate the source prior to running with a story.  That is all on Breitbart.

That said, Breitbart did NOT act in bad faith and mistakes happen. I support Breitbart even though I may have been critical of his handling of this.  He could have diffused this in order to prevent this type of momentum that Ace and others predicted would happen.

This is going to get ugly. The president made a coordinated effort in appearing on the View this week on the heels of the federal injunction on the AZ anti-immigration law. And I heard him on the radio a few minutes ago in FULL CAMPAIGN mode acting the elder stateseman of RACE relations.

Sherrod is working with everone from media matters to John Podesta's Center for American Progress.

We need to keep playing the board on this. Like Ace said we gave up a rook but we still have pieces.  Do not give up on Breitbart nor the cause here.

These folks are bastards that will not stop at anything.  Sherrod is their fulcrum right now.

Breibart's legal fees will be tempered by the fact he never had to pay the $100k to *anyone* able to produce video of the DC tea partiers hurling the epithets at the Black Caucus fools. All those jackholes walking around with videos. Videos that proved not a damn thing. Yet they (as well as the MFM) ran with it anyway.

And we're left to prove (or disprove) the negative.

Better yet.

I know there are several attorneys who are morons.  I know that there a multiple morons.  A class, if you will.  And I know that all morons oppose Obamacare.

Sherrod said people who oppose Obamacare are racists.
Ergo, she defamed all morons.

She has 13 million dollars.

@laceyunderalls,

You are being unfair. There is no evidence to suggest that Sherrod is a whore in the classical sense, in which she screws men for money.

Oh...I see.

71 Shit you not.  I guess if they have a son, he will be named Boris, on accuont of B-O being the first two letters.

Time to take me out of the drawer, Lt. Worf.

72 So, is it okay for anyone to use the word "mongrel" in post racial America now?

73 Did Brietbart have any information that would have given a reasonable person suspicion that the tape had been edited to make it misleading? Is Brietbart part of the press giving him the higher standards in defense of a defamation claim? Is Brietbart part of the press giving him access to shield laws? Can he hide unaired portions of the tape? Can he conceal his source? Truth is a defense. If the jist of the misleading tape was that she was a racist, an issue in the case will be whether she is, in fact, a racist. Depending on the latitude afforded by the judge, that could prove very interesting...

81 nevergiveup: "I guess so and it was the KKK that originally used that phrase, but i guess Obama never knew that." Well, I guess it's okay since Obama's a democrat, too.

82 Breitbart will argue: Sherrod does not know that my source edited the tape. My source may have been in my position: a person who only had the edited tape. He will say it would chill journalism to require him to disclose a potentially-innocent source. He will also argue that the edits were not malicious ant that the video speaks for itself (in a non-misleading way) Further, we don't know what due diligence steps Breitbart took in advance of breaking the story. Sherrod was aware of it in advance so obviously someone was investigating it.

83
Can the po' white farmers sue Sherrod for the extra couple of months of stress and emotional pain they suffered before Sherrod decided that helping them, despite their race, was part of her job?  Of course not.  That was 20+ years ago.

Well, actually, isn't the whole idea behind the Pigford settlement that someone may have discriminated against black farmers while Sherrod was at the USDA? Here we have a black bureaucrat at the USDA talking about discriminating against a white farmer at the same time. That seems strong enough grounds to me...

84 I know there are several attorneys who are morons.  I know that there a multiple morons.  A class, if you will.  And I know that all morons oppose Obamacare.

I'm sure that's their strategy, and it's a dumb one.  The left has a deeply seated belief that the mere charge of racism has a Kryptonite-like effect on any political opponent.

And it just isn't so.

But that fact won't stop them from trying to boos their poll numbers by jumping up and down, pointing, and screaming "RACIST!!" at AB, Fox News, the Tea Party, Sara Palin, and anybody else they can think of.  All while the national debt continues to baloon, the economy continues to fester in the shitter, and (to their bewilderment) their public approval ratings continue to sink.

95 Dammit...now I'm distracted by the "Mongrel People" comment... Anyway, Brietbart is going to have a fun time with discovery.

96

KKK, Obama, same diff

 

And rueth is an absolute defense.  He published a story about the racism latent in the NAACP, and put up a video showing the same.  What's to sue over?

97 Half-assed theory:  It turns out the video was cut from the NAACP version and leaked to Breitbart in an attempt to lure him into a legal ambush.  Which, as entrapment, would almost certainly get the whole thing tossed and backfire most marvelously.  I'm ordering popcorn in bulk in advance.

And as a side point, he used an odd term for it, but (and it pains me greatly to say this) O's stopped clock reads right.  Few 'African-Americans' are purely of that descent anymore, often having all sorts of everything else tossed in at some point or another.  Which, in a great irony, makes them the very model of the classic American melting pot, and highlights the tragedy of racialist thinking all the more...

98 truth*

99 maybe a  class action law suit against john Lewis, msnbc . for defemation and edited clips?

100 I know there are several attorneys who are morons.  I know that there a multiple morons.  A class, if you will.  And I know that all morons oppose Obamacare.

"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 calls or e-mails seeking comment"

104 Sherrod said she had not received an apology from Breitbart and no longer wanted one.

Sorry, bitch.

Is that better?

105 BONUS:  When this case is dismissed, Breitbart can use the left's (New Black Panthers, CRU, ACORN, etc.) "debunked/exonerated" excuse to absolve himself of any legal/moral wrongdoing in this case. "It wasn't out of context!  I wasn't race-baiting! Hey -- it was tried in court, and I was exonerated!"

106

Not defamation, either a "false light" or "publicity" tort claim would fit better here.

That way, as soon as journolist is ever forced to hit the mainstream, all the dumb lib talking heads can say "yeah, there was journolist, but what about Andrew Breitbart and his team of wanton defamers?"

114 Wouldn't being a mongrel denote no race at all?

115

African-Americans are “sort of a mongrel people.”



Our wonderful, post-racial president.

116 Breitbart DID NOT MISREPRESENT SHERROD... the accompanying article was about the NAACP.

117

Generally these bullshit lawsuits are terminated at the discovery phase - when the complainant suddenly realizes that there is a lot of stuff that they would like to, you know, keep hidden.

I hope Sherrod continues barging forward at that point. You go, girl.

Say, how's she paying for this -- out of her own pocket? That would seem out of character,.

118

Does this make Breitbart something like a....tar baby?

Yeah, yeah...I denounce myself.

119 when I first read this, I let out an audible moan...the story that won't go away.  However, after giving it some thought, I have decided this is going to be fun.  Why?  because it keeps Obama and his racial politics in the news.  "You're a racist, they're a racist, he's a racist, she's a racist" is what Obama is all about...the environment he has created. 

Now let him live in that environment.

120 "On one level this will suck for Breitbart. It's going to cost time, money and effort."

Why so much money?  Given the (impossible) burden involved, how hard is it really to defend such a case?  Moreover, many attorneys will be begging to help AB for the publicity.

And why is there a duplicate filing, one from Ace.... and an identical filing from some dude named Drew??

124 It is for these types of cases that the American rule on legal fees should be changed  (American rule is each party bears their own legal costs). When Sherrod loses, she should be forced to pay AB's legal fees. The UK has this, some historians sued Dan Brown over the Da Vinci Code, and lost big time, owe Dan Brown something approximating £1 million. I don't always favor this type of rule, but for this type of case, it would be perfect.

Actually, it's the diminutive of Alexandra (or Alexander).  But it is a Russian nickname, regardless.

132 Aren't we going to have a thread for today's "The View" appearance? I'm sightly disappointed. Come on, it's like the most exciting show ever - never before has a sitting president appeared on a day-time talk show.

133 Ugh, was anyone listening to what he was saying or were they just oggling him and making rude comments?:  "he should auction off dinner, just dinner by himself, he would make millions, millions, he is the hottest man on earth, and he love women, michelle is sooo lucky" the respondent said "you had to ruin it for me and mention michelle""

see what I mean...

134

African-Americans are “sort of a mongrel people.”

Yet another example that this mangina Precedent has never had anyone question anything he says. His nonmongrel grandparents must've doted on and praised everything he ever did.

His brain's censor button never formed, because in his mind he only speaks the gospel.

135


Let me be more clear, "false light" is like showing Michael Phelps eating a bowl of Froot Loops when he was really was enjoying a nice bowl of chowder.

Publicity is harder in this case, since it would be like using Michael Phelps actually eating a bowl of Campbells Chunky in an ad, without his permission.


Either way, I'd consider the case on contingency, since Sherrod is suing, not the NAACP.  As a third party, they will have less discovery exposure.  Also, there's a case called of all things NAACP v. Alabama, where they were not obliged to disclose their membership rosters for fear of reprisals on their members.

136 I'm assuming it's defamation. As Gabe emailed to me, we don't know the cause of action yet so keep that in mind going through this.

"False light." Depending on the judge, whose rulings will determine what facts count, she can win. You'll know the verdict as soon as you know who the judge is, in fact.

And I recommend checking out any thread about this potential suit on any non-politics-focused site (Fark or similar), so you can see what the average Informed American thinks has happened and should happen—and maybe deduce what Sherrod/Obama's purpose is in dragging this out as long as possible. If they have a strategy, it's a good one.

137 You people are racists for hearing Obama use the word mongrel.

138 it was the KKK that originally used that phrase, but i guess Obama never knew that.

Hitler used it, too.  "Americans are a mongrel people, half Jewified, half Negrofied."

139 139 Aren't we going to have a thread for today's "The View" appearance? I'm sightly disappointed. Come on, it's like the most exciting show ever - never before has a sitting president appeared on a day-time talk show.

Uggg...... broadcast coverage of Joy Behar squirming around in her own wet spot.

I'll pass.

140 "As for the suit itself ... she's likely got no chance."

Take one bullshit black V. white lawsuit, add in one black, female, closet racist, liberal (BIRM) judge and you have a recipe for fucking over Breitbart.

141

What we need to do is scrounge up every white farmer that was shrugged off after this woman sent them to their own kind prior to 1986 when she found her so-called enlightenment.

She was dumb enough to go on record with her own bigotry. Let her prove that her decisions not to help the white folk had to do with anything but her hatred for them.

For an allegedly smart guy, Obama's word choices and gaffes are actually worse than Bush's malapropisms.  From "57 states" (coincidentally the number of OIC states) and "my Islamic faith" to "corpseman" and  "mongrel"?

152

So an administration with a gazillion lawyers, didn't do due process before firing her , but Breitbart is to blame for her job loss.

Aren't we going to have a thread for today's "The View" appearance?

Posted by: Sassypants at July 29, 2010 12:59 PM (+lQUH)

Judging by the photo @ Drudge, Obama seems to be in his element. He even crossed his legs at the knees to shield his vagina from the cameras.

BTW, is it just me or does he look like Ichabod Crane?

I think I've had too much coffee.

159 From the "mongrel" article:

Obama noted "there's still a reptilian side of our brain" that leads people to not trust others "if somebody sounds different or looks different."

First, that's projection, you're reptilian, Obama, the rest of us aren't so cold-blooded.

Second, Republicans have no problem with people who sound or look different.  If you will notice there will be two Republican governors of Indian descent.  Although they are a welcome part of the party, the Indian-American portion of the GOP isn't large enough to speak of.

We are the ones who don't vote on race.  If you notice, the African Americans, in recent history, who were elected in districts without a huge black population have almost all been Republicans.

160 Counselor, I read this exact same brief, practically verbatim, in the Morrisey case.  What is going on here?

161

If I understand the short piece, it was from a recording of the entire speech which the NAACP, or the local, has on hand.  I also understand that they wouldn't comply with B's request for the whole thing.

So, probably, it was an NAACPist who sent the piece to B, nobody else having it.

That would be fun to find out.

162

So Michelle can say that she's not the mongrel's bitch.....

163

Skip the BSA in order to go on The View and call blacks mongrels? I keep telling my eyes and ears they deceive me. Surely we can't have a leader this tin-eared, this fucknozzle stupid. We really dodged a bullet with that Palin chick, didn't we libs? Getting a suave international hipster with so much class in the White House? Good one, that. Real good.

164 So an administration with a gazillion lawyers, didn't do due process before firing her, but Breitbart is to blame for her job loss.

Thank God Breitbart uses this power over Barry's admin for good, eh?

165 Someone should remind Sherrod that there are penalties for frivolous lawsuits, and a solid definition of same.

Though not a lawyer, I believe a judge can order her to pay Breitbart's costs if it is found that the suit fits those parameters.

But she won't have to pay for lawyers. Eric Shabazz Holder will put a horde of Department of Justice for Some lawyers on unpaid leave to help her out. And he'll probably file civil rights charges on Breitbart when Sherrod's "case" comes up for a hearing.

166

I would like to announce that I am filing suit against ESPN for only playing 'edited' versions of my performances. 

They are harming my ability to engage in free commerce and have painted me as something I am not.

Why do they only play the Pitches where I give up important Hits or Home runs?  They once played a Wild Pitch clip Three Times in one 30 second segment.  Certainly this video footage was edited! 

They are harming my ability to get a new contract in a Free Agency year.

You can direct all questions and inquiry to my Counsel.

167 166 - personally I want to see the "hard-hitting" questions Elizabeth Hesselback asked our commander-in-chief. Ya think we'll see any video of that?

168

so this happens, Rangel gets embroiled in a mess, and the federal court just said the law doesnt matter in regards to immigration.

Democrats insist this is how you win elections, and they are right.

This IS how you win elections... for Republicans.

This cycle gets better and better...

169 That picture up on Drudge makes would make me hurl if it wasn't for Elizabeth Hasselbach's legs.

If I were a genius Journalister, I might put some kind of chronology together like this:

-Barry and the left teetering on the brink of the socialist mess they got this country into.

-Losing support for almost every leftist initiative he has orchestrated or has planned.

-The impossibility of ongoing management of the deficit or the debt becoming impossible to hide or explain away.

-Trillions still needed to carry out remaining initiatives.

-Moderate Democrats in rebellion.

-Need to rally the base.

-Need a cause that will work to reignite support.

-Racism!

-Charges of racism backfiring.

-Double down, push through resistance.

-Raise the banner of racism higher!  Damn the country.  Must win!

175

We are Americans with a capital A, huh? You know what that means? Do you? That means that our forefathers were kicked out of every decent country in the world. We are the wretched refuge. We're the underdogs. We're the mutts. 

(But not "mongrel" - egad.) 

176 Someone should remind Sherrod that there are penalties for frivolous lawsuits, and a solid definition of same.

Bwahahahahaha!

The legal profession does not attack its own.  This kind of lawsuit harassment is par for the course.  The thing about Breitbart, he says "bring it on".

177 As long as Elisabeth Hasselbeck continues to barely get in a word edgewise, or put a coherent sentence together, she'll always have a place on that nasty couch as the token conservative.

She's the best looking person on that set.  That's about it.

178 I would like to announce that I am filing suit against ESPN for only playing 'edited' versions of my performances.

I was going to be a major league picture, but the thought of ESPN playing clips of my major mistakes discouraged me.

179 We are offended at the new Government Motors slogan that the Volt is "so easy to use, even a mongrel can do it."

< Breitbart resides in Brentwood and Sherrod in east coast Oz.  He can get this moved into fed court, if not already filed there,through drum roll . . . a little ditty called . . . diversity jurisdiction. Fed court is like leather vs. cloth interior or something like that anyways. Breitbart just needs to go all in on this thing.  A little jitisu move and krav maga defense to redirect the energy, reddirect the energy wise man.

Dreamer.

Even as we type here, the "poor black brother being oppressed by The Man" is being prepared for Rangel.

The slimy sonuvabish is a victim, and the media will say so. Endlessly.

Sadly, race-hustlers and the uninformed, guilt-ridden 52% will embrace this notion, and Rangel will let go with nothing more than a "once or twice, he may have done something foolish" mini-reprimand on his record. He'll be reelected, too. With a large majority.

192 Sure, Sherrod is racist -- but she's not "racist racist".

193 Obama noted "there's still a reptilian side of our brain" that leads people to not trust others "if somebody sounds different or looks different."

That's really all you need to know about him. We're no different than animals and it's up to enlightened people like himself to tell us bottom-feeders how to think and what to say. God protect us from academics.

194 George Bush hates mongrel people.

195

We really dodged a bullet with that Palin chick, didn't we libs?

Did you forget about me?

 

196 If any of you say that Obama called people mongrels without also reciting the full copy of The View episode verbatim, I'm gonna sue your ass.

Juxtaposition of unfortunate word choice:

He really said that?  Do monkeys have a reptillian side?  Cause aren't we evolved from monkeys?

213 Ooh, missed the 'reptilian' part.  David Icke, call your office...

214 So she hasn't taken the fake made-up job yet.  If she's announcing this, I'm guessing it's off the table or will be soon inasmuch as "shut up" will be part of the job description.

Even if she argues that Breitbart put her in a bad light, then he can argue that, no, in fact she is racist.  That means he can subpoena all sorts of stuff about her, including video and correspondences.  Her husband's remarks could be potentially used.  Other NAACP speeches, etc.

As far as direct harm, she got an apology and a  supposedly better job.

I am laughing because this is a nightmare for Democrats.  With all of the crap that Obama's been flinging, his one saving grace was to be the warm and fuzzy racial healer, but his supporters can't cling to that.  They thought they'd engage in a dog whistle strategy, have the NAACP call the Tea Party racist.  No leaders in the Tea Party so they can't effectively respond and use it to get out the vote.

The Arizona thing is the same, gin up the Hispanic vote and increase turnout.  This is what the Left hated about Rove.  He was all about getting out the base.  The reason why they hated it was projection.  They knew that a similar strategy on their part would be Balkanizing and racial.

Well, now it's all out in the open.  And Obama is so invested in the racial thing that he can't stop himself.

215

_{I really need to find a better class of owner.  'Course, my very own jet, Bark Force One is cool....}

216

It's a good damn thing this guy is such a uniter.

I can't even begin to bring myself to imagine what this country would now be like if he were a divider.

Shssssh.

217

I don't believe she is going to sue for the following reasons.

1. The video Brietbart posted showed Sherrod in her own words, the fact she said she changed her mind later in the video doesn't make the fact that she admitted racism go away.

2. She has to show damages, she didn't have any, in fact she got a promotion and is a national hero to the left.

3. Depositions, she doen't want to get near that and she knows it.

The only mistake Brietbart made was saying she worked at USDA at the time of her racism. That wasn't completely true, she worked for a non profit that got it's funding from the USDA.

It ain't gonna happen.

218 So her argument under a "false light" action is that she was falsely painted as a racist which would have been clear had the video been unedited, correct?  Would her argument prove false if she had acted in a racially biased way at any time after the event described in the video?

219 If I had all the money she has and my job back and a promotion I think I woudl just count my blessings and fade into the wood work.  Why would you want to dredge up everything about yourself for the world to see what? for money, she seems to have plenty of it?  So, why would she sue mr. b?

220

The President is on "The View". The courts just ruled that states can't enforce federal law if the feds don't. We have illegal aliens marching through the streets, demanding their rights. A racist is suing someone who exposes her racism. The racist received an apology and a promotion from a President who just called her a mongrel. Race and gender have been given even more preference in a bill that had nothing to do with either. A criminal career Congressman will make a deal to keep his job without a single repercussion, and he will be re-elected in a landslide based on race and party. 

I keep thinking I'm going to wake up from this bizarro-type universe.

221

Didn't this government employee make a bunch of statments in the entire video that crossed the political activist line when she talked about the prior administration?

Did she not hear some of the things her husband said that might make them look, "less diversity loving"?

Greedy.  A government job is good money, but you have to show up more or less everyday (yes, even she would have to make appearances).  The lawsuit lottery is much more lucrative.

But I agree, she's bluffing.  However, I rarely hear people say that they're going to sue when they don't.  They always hedge.  Is there a legal reason for that?  Can Breitbart countersue?

231 235 Wow, we really dodged a bullet with that Palin chick....

The thought of a glistening Sarah Palin dressed in a sundress addressing the Boy Scout Jamboree...It'd give me the Order of the Arrow. 

232 #234 Too bad we don't have "Loser Pays" laws here.

Iblis, you've read my mind.  And that's a scary thing.

That would cut down on so many personal lawsuits.

233 I doubt she will go through with this. Breitbart SPECIFICALLY mentioned the "epiphany" in the original story, and there's all kinds of evidence on tape that she is, if not a racist (although it could argued that she is), certainly someone who looks at life through the prism of race.

234 She won't sue unless she likes fame, ala Cindy Sheehan...we have to hope she likes fame.

235 Fox News has a story coming up about the new popularity of Doomsday shelters.  Makes sense to me.

236 @186,

Lawyers go after their own all the time, legal malpractice being the most obvious example. There is a distinction between costs (which in NY are defined in the Civil Practice Law & Rules) which are generally awarded at the conclusion of a trial (but rarely total more than a $1000.00 or so - things like filing fees) and legal/attorney fees, which are generally not awarded because the standard is very high for what defines bs litigation, but I have seen it done.

237 "we will be able to look back and tell our children that this was the moment when we began to provide care for the sick and good jobs to the jobless; this was the moment when the rise of the oceans began to slow and our planet began to heal; this was the moment when we ended a war and secured our nation and restored our image as the last, best hope on Earth. This was the moment - this was the time - when black people became mongrels."

238 "mongrel people?" "reptilian side of our brain?"

239 #239  Gator - this is the prelude to chaos.  We're just at the table and haven't even orderd drinks yet.  Buckle up bro.  Wait till the menus are produced.

Oh yes. 

If the onset of chaos unfolds like it did in GoW3, we're not even through the first "level" yet.  We're at that part right before Poseidon dies and the resulting death causes the seas to rise, starting the inevitable march of hurling the world into absolute chaos.

240 Did Sarah Palin address the boy scouts?   Cause someone on the other thread was saying their kid waited to hear BO speak or something and then he disappointed them or something?  Not sure cause I had one hell of a morning.  But, if he did disappoint the scouts and Palin shows up, yet again, BO has greased the skids for Palin, inadvertently.

maybe inadvertently will become the unexpectedly of politics.

241 Too bad we don't have "Loser Pays" laws here.

In a suit between two private parties the winner can recover legal costs but the court must approve it.

242

Please let Malik Zulu Shabazz, Esq, Chairman of the Black Panther Party, be her lawyer. You know he'd win, because that mongrel exposes racism every single time he opens his mouth.

243 #252  In a suit between two private parties the winner can recover legal costs but the court must approve it.

Haven't heard of that.  Do you know how common it is for a court to approve this?

244 curious at July 29, 2010 01:32 PM

Please don't say 'grease' and Sarah Palin in the same sentence again.

245

She's opening up a whole can of stupid on this.

First off... he published what she said... maybe not ALL of what she said... but she did say it.

Secondly, it opens up her entire past to discovery, because if Bret CAN proove she has a pattern of Racist statements, they will all be admissable as prooving the charge... because the Truth is the ultimate defense against this type of lawsuit.

246 Haven't heard of that.  Do you know how common it is for a court to approve this?

I don't have any hard statistics maybe one of the Moron lawyers will know more.

The sad thing is in Europe it is automatic loser pays.

247 With the visit to the view, I'm surprised that Bo hasn't been iced.

The interns are such slackers, that would make such a great you tube vid.

248 What is the over/under on when Barky McJuggears uses the 'N' word on TV?

Some states have a statute that says if an offer is made by the defendant and rejected by the plaintiff and then goes to trial and the award is less than the original offer, atty. fees can be awarded to defendant.

Breitbart will be fine on funding his defense.  He probaly has directors & officers insurance / Errors & Omissions insurance that will pay attys. and settlement on his behalf.

250

I can't help thinking that Breitbart was secretely hoping Sherrod would do something like this -- sometimes it's worth the cost.

As for the mongrel race thing -- well, I have to agree.  Americans are mutts.  However, I say it with love and the feeling that it really is kinda good to be a mutt, so there's the difference (I've always thought that in a way the New World is a mirror of truth to the Old: there really is no such thing as a "pure race" of people, maybe it's time to get over that crap, which has caused so much misery and bloodshed to humanity).  It is however, a very typical Old World view of us New Worlders -- and it isn't meant as anything but scorn and a certain...racism (we Americans are mongrels, and thus degenerate -- every last one of us, no matter our skin color -- they have always thought that of us, so why do we follow their freaking rules?).

I wonder which context our president was using when he said that?  Context does make a difference now, doesn't it?

 

 

251 "Reptilian" side of our brain? Did that dolt learn that in the same school where he learned that this country has 57 states? And the MSM ridiculed GW's gaffs??? GW mispronounced words. The present dimwwit 'n chief mispronounces history, science, mathmatics, geography and current events.

252 We need a news professional's opinion here.
Time for Bob Schieffer to be woken up from his nap.

253

Did that dolt learn that in the same school where he learned that this country has 57 states?

That mongrel Janeane Garofalo told him that little gem. Sounds real smartlike, don't it?

254 Maybe it was the Mongrel-in-Chief's reptilian brain at work when he used corpseman.  Hell, I think Bo the dog has more sense than this idiot.

255 AoSHQ v. Sherrod, Morgenholz Deposition pg. 133..

Attorney Cockring:  Mr. Morgenholz, please look over what I've marked Defense Exhibit 97.  Does this appear to be a comment you posted on April 7, 2008?

Mr. Morgenholz:  It appears so, yes.

Cockring:  Do you recall making this specific comment?

Morgenholz:  Not specifically, no.

Cockring: About dipping your testicles in pudding?

Morgenholz:  What flavor?

Cockring: What?

Morgenholz: I'd have to see the entire thread to know what flavor pudding it was.

Cockring :  What does that matter?

Attorney laceyunderalls:  This seems like a good time for a break.

256 "Reptilian"?
When you're dealing with stuff too weird for Alex Jones, you are way out there.

Next: a "jet trails" commission.

257 More love and forgiveness pouring out of Shirley Sherrod.

I was proud of being a mongrel. Until Osama Obama opened his foul mouth.

260 Well, if he is a mongrel, shouldn't he be spayed by the ASPCA?

261 most people say "well, I'm a mutt" not "well, I'm a mongrel". 

When you use "mongel" it brings to mind a tribe, like the huns or something like that.

TK's gristle encased head (one of the only nicks that I always, always laugh at when I see it--awesome job),

Just the misleading editing itself is enough for false light.  He publicized a false copy of what she said, and it was manipulated in a way to make her look bad.  Whether of not she beclowns herself later, she still didn't say what it appeared she said on the outtake.


And all you idiots demanding loser pays and less litigation: when the fishbowl shatters in your arms and you lose the use of your hands, or when they give you a drug that causes your baby to have flippers, or even where your insurer goes to trial on a case agasint you for an accident when they could have settled for policy limits (and then tells you to put up a "for sale" sign on your house when you lose big in front of the jury), I want to hear your firm, principled stance about civil litigation. 

Everyone hates lawyers 'til they need one.

268

272  You brought up something interesting:

Remember when "the search for the perfect puppy" was going on?  And he held the presser in which he said something about maybe getting a "mutt, just like me"?  Ok, that was actually pretty good pr -- American does = mutt, and cute, underdog pound puppy...great American story.

Americans use the term "mutts" for themselves, and we (most of us anyway) do so with pride.

Old World (aka. Europeans, but also Africans and Asians) are the ones that call us "mongrels" -- in the worst Adolf style fashion and with exactly that meaning and intention.  The worst thing to many (maybe the majority of them) is to be "not pure"...and we are the Great Satan of racial/ethnic mixing (perpetrated by our Juice overlords of course).  It's one of the things that really is in the back of those folks' minds as to why "we need to go".

Did our president let his slip show on the View you think?

269

Jon Stewart hopes and prays that quoting out of context isn't a crime.

It wonÂ’t last.

1) She has zero chance of winning. SheÂ’s a public official.

2) The excerpted video is not contradicted by anything in the full video. Contrary to reports from idiot MSM journOlists, the video is not “edited.”

3) Discovery would be FUCKING AWESOME for Breitbart.

4) The whole thing will just generate page views for Breitbart.

5) SherrodÂ’s other racist sentiments will get even wider play.

6) This will hurt Obama.

7) When she loses the case (which is unwinnable, defamation is a VERY high bar) Breitbart will be able to claim vindication.

Once someone explains all this to little miss racist, the suit will be dropped, if it's ever even filed.

271 Maybe you're being too rough on the astute one. Maybe he knows something about his ancestory that we don't know.

272 Truth is an absolute defense for libel.  The first element she would have to prove is that the tape isn't her.  (Hint: "It was out of context" isn't legally sufficient.)

273 Isn't there an exception for a celebrity.  Sean hannity is always saying that he ignores stuff cause he can't sue cause he is a celebrity.  If she's a speaker for USDA does that make her a celebrity?  Does their speaker's bureau send her out?

Um, perhaps, but I suspect that you're overlooking the Eric Holder factor, the DOJ factor and the hand-picked, liberal, activist judge who will be most surely assigned to that case. 

You're about to witness a situation similar to what recently occurred with the Black Panthers and with the decision that Judge Bolton just rendered, and you're about to see a creative expansion on case law.

I'm skeptical that Sherrod's attorney would be foolish enough to bring such a frivolous lawsuit, unless he knew in advance or at the outset that the hearings would be rigged in his favor.

275 Black Journalists?  Really. Like that's not racist.

Thank you for admitting that the legal profession is nothing but a corrupt protection racket.

So are roofers, plumbers and electricians, but that logic, Amishmagician.

Oh, let's not forget mechanics

279 Sherrod is not very bright. She's gotten by on Affirmative Action and White Guilt. Both bubbles about to burst. She has no case, other than "Damn Whitey! Its OK I'm Black" which Obama rode to the Presidency, and exhausted.

Discovery will be hilarious. Including any dirty deals she struck with the Dept. of Agriculture, any White farmer who feels she did "just enough so he couldn't say I didn't try to help him" and so on.

At a certain point, stupid gets penalized. EVEN for Shirley Sherrod, or Maxine Waters, or Hank Johnson (Guam tipping over) or Yale and UVA Law School Grad Sheila Jackson Lee (North Vietnam and South Vietnam co-exist peacefully).

280 She must not think that she will take the offer to reup with "The Won" because they would want her to end the suit before rejoining.

281 So are roofers, plumbers and electricians, but that logic, Amishmagician.
Posted by: s'moron at July 29, 2010 02:54 PM (UaxA0)

Ah, logic.  The bane of those who major in bullshit.

A lawyer is hired most often because one is being sued by...wait for it...another lawyer.

That's right, for every lawyer "helping you" (and getting rich), there's another lawyer hurting you (and getting rich) not to mention a judge (who is a lawyer and getting rich.

Nobody says "everybody hates electricians until they need one".  They need one because they choose to have them because they want electricity.

And about "access to the courts", so what?  Every lawyer thinks that ordinary citizens need access to the courts, but ordinary citizens don't get it.  Lawyers get access to the courts.  Lawsuit-happy people do also, so do people brought into class-action lawsuits by greedy tort lawyers do, but the rest of us don't.  I'm always the one who pays for the hot coffee on the lap or for the leaps and bounds they go through to avoid being the target of greedy corrupt lawyers.

Lawyers are the midichlorians of corruption.  If there's corruption, the lawyer count will be off the charts.  They feed on it like bacteria on oil.

You talk about all of those horrible things that we would want to sue for, but what about if you get cancer?  Who do you sue then?  Huh?  Shit happens.  I think we are past the point when civil legal remedies are a net benefit.

Except one:  I should be able to sue the entire legal profession under RICO.

In what way is the legal profession not a racketeering organization?

282 Typo on aisle #293, I won't tell you where, but I'm sure nobody will read it anyway.

283 83 Listen to the interview that Savage did with Breitbart right after this all came out.  There are a lot of interesting nuggets in there.   I wonder why her attorneys haven't advised her against doing this?

Because they're feeling out Breitbart to see if he'll roll over on this.  When they find out he won't, I expect them to drop the suit "in the interest of not damaging racial relations in the country" or some such bullshit.

284 She ain't suing.  She's after a better job offer.

285 I wonder why her attorneys haven't advised her against doing this?

Because they're feeling out Breitbart to see if he'll roll over on this.

I'm thinking she didn't tell her attorneys and she's in for a rude awakening.

286 Amishdude, you've got grit.

287
My guess is he's salivating at the chance to get her under oath during a deposition.

Yeah, I always like it when some random yo-yo threatens to sue, it always sounds so ominous. Right up until I remind the threatener that discovery works both ways. Then they usually shut up about it and mutter under their breath.

288

Big mistake for Shirley "I Just Hate Some White Folks" Sherrod.  She is not going to like the process of discovery. 

If I were Brietbart, I'd be sending interrogatories to the HR departments of every employer she has ever had.

Not defamation, either a "false light" or "publicity" tort claim would fit better here.

No free speech right to misrepresent someone. 

**************************************

If that were true, Times v. Sullivan would be a legal nullity.  I doubt a court would allow a public figure to try to end-run that case.  

Where is the malice,  the "reckless disregard"?

for that matter, where is the "false light"?  Have you heard Sherrod's other comments since?

 

290

f'in A

NYTimes v. Sullivan is a defamation case.  "False light" is not defamation.

Amish, how about the car dealers/mechanics, huh?  Sell you a car and you have to keep paying to keep it running.  Finally, last I checked, you could sue anyone ON YOUR VERY OWN.  That's right.  NO ONE has to have a lawyer to access the system.  If your complaint is that "well I can win against a lawyer," then you're just bitching about the lack of natural gifts that God gave you.  The law is intricate and technical for a reason, to avoid roughshod justice.  Because you don't understand it, you fear it, and despise those who do understand it.

We have had laws and lawyers since Hammurabi.  We've probably had lawyer jokes for as long.

You get cancer?  I get cancer?  Oh well, it was a good run.  Somebody knowingly GIVES you cancer?  I'm not one to shrug that kind of shit off.  Like the disconnecting the alarms on teh oil rig before it blew up, people make bad decisions that hurt people.  Until you can come up with a better substitute for justice than money, you're going to need a system to allocate the money. 

You want to bring back flogging and the stocks?  I'll sign your petition.

291

oh, I see that you also mentioned her statements since f'inA.  Sorry.  They don't matter.  Splicing up video to have someone say something they did not, to their damage, is false light. 

There's often an "actual malice" element, though, so my guess is that Breitbart would be dismissed and the person who sent him the video would have to be sued.

**********************************

Go read up on "false light" as a tort.    "false light" is a type of defamation.   

 Times v. Sullivan would apply here, as Sherrod is a "public figure".   

  "Actual malice" is required for both "defamation" and "false light" by public figures.

295 Note; she hasn't sued yet.

Remember when Sharpton was going to sue someone (I forget now who. It was some conservative in the Media I think.) strangely enough after a looonngg talk with his lawyers and a look in his piggy bank, He decided not to sue. It got forgotten cause the MFM didn't report on the ABSENCE OF SUIT, just the threat.

I think this happen in this case also. Too high a bar, too low a payoff and reefs and shoals abounding between here and there for Shirley and the NAACP. (Who's members could also be called in to be deposed. Wouldn't THAT be delicious?)

296 307 continued:

It was Rush. He was claiming that Rush defamed him in October of 2009.

No suit filed though.

Obama's blaming the media, not his administration, for firing Sherrod. In a way he has a point. We wouldn't have his administration but for the media.

Well, the tactic has proven wildly effective over the past 30+ years. I do believe, though, that this steady 2+ year blitzkrieg of "RACISM!!!" charges will result in the death--or at least mortal wounding--of the racial grievance mongers' golden goose. So, there's at least one thing to be happy about while our country is being murdered.

301 What I  want to know is - What will this do about all the black on white racism in America? Because its a real problem. I'm tired of the white man gett'n kicked down by all this prevalent and pervasive racism against whites!

Heck - It's all I can think about! I mean as soon as I saw a black president get elected, all of a sudden I started noticing all this black racism! Didn't really see it before but now it's a big story for us republicans. We love it hearing about it because now people are starting to understand that we're not crazy! We people on the right just love juicy stories about racist black people.

Really! No seriously. I'm not kidding. No joking. Yeah... Go GOP!

Just when I was beginning to think Andy had won and I was wrong, this scumbag wants more shit.  Blue Hen (whoever you are) I really hoped Andy had won and silenced the Race Baiters and he may yet prevail.  But it sounds like she wants to relive the 60's and energize the SS.  With the Regime in power now does this seem like a winning strategy to you? 

 Still, does anyone know what was cut out from the tape at around 21:00 to 23:00? 

303 She's an idiot, as if we didn't already know that.  It's one thing to sue the government.  It's quite another to wrongly sue a private citizen.

Pass the popcorn...

304 Suing for taking someone out of context!?  Suing for failure to fact-check!?  Hell, I almost hope she wins so we'd have precedent for suing the living crap out of leftist "journalists".  Almost.  The only reason I don't hope for it is that in our alleged "justice system" precedent only counts if it favors the Leftists.

As long as Obama/Holder are in office, complaints by whites about the misbehavior of blacks and other people of color will be ignored, and only complaints by blacks and by other people of color  about the misbehavior of whites will be given credence, usually on contrived and bogus pretexts. 

The Obama Administration is the most racist and the sleaziest and the most divisive administration in the history of this country ..., and it was predictable.
