Oh my: Breitbartocalypse Now - Sherrod to Sue Breitbart’s Ass [Updated]
No doubt in cahoots with the filthy liberal scum at The View who, according to Rush Limbaugh, by now must have calluses on the calluses on their knees, Shirley Sherrod has chosen today to announce that she does want a piece of Breitbart, kthx.
And unlike Breitbart’s disclaimer of his avowed quest to destroy libraldumb, it doesn’t sound like she’s kidding:
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.
...
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.
The queue of people Sherrod has yet to receive an apology from is lengthy:
“It wasn’t all media. It was Fox,” Sherrod says in commenting on President Obama’s remarks on The View blaming the media in part for the story. She says she also continues to get a few harassing phone calls over the incident. Sherrod says she still has not heard from Cheryl Cook, the USDA official who called her on the road and pressed her to resign. She says she would like to hear from Cook and that there are many problems at the agency that need to be addressed that people of color there have brought to her attention.
And where is the customary bluster from the astroturfing wingnut buffoon who set this whole farce off?
Breitbart did not immediately respond to calls or e-mails seeking comment.
Well, let’s thank the FSM for small mercies.
* Yes, yes. I know. It’s a pic of John Lithgow, in lieu of any recent sightings of Brave Sir Breitbart. Separated at birth?
UPDATE: As ever, our astute pal Zandar is on the case. As he observes:
She’s going to need help and support, because she just became Public Enemy #1 to Wingnuttia, and this is going to get absolutely brutal very, very soon.
He could well be right. Here’s a random sample from Memeorandum:
Shirley Sherrod you’ve just been SUCKERED!
The suit against Breitbart is going to bring up a ton of really fun stuff about her and her husband and about that lawsuit they settled. Congratulations Mrs. Sherrod every speech you gave, every statement you’ve made and your husband too is now fair game and will be out in the open for all the country to see.
Expressly false statements like this one:
“It wasn’t all media. It was Fox.” Sherrod said in commenting on President Obama’s remarks on The View blaming the media in part for the story
are really going to play well in court. This is going to print money and attention for Breitbart. So lets repeat my thoughts on this case:
Sucker!
