This lawsuit is a Godsend to Mr. Breitbart and I am sure he sees it that way. His biggest challenge is going to be managing the insurance defense lawyers who will want to try to get the lawsuit to go away, which is the last thing that Mr. Breitbart will want. He will need his own personal public interest counsel that he will have to pay for.<br /><br />I represent a public activist who has been threatened and sued often. Raising money for the defense is no problem because there plenty of generous, committed people out there who want to help expose the left.<br /><br />The whole Pigford thing needed more publicity and this lawsuit is a great way to showcase the whole fraud.Conservatarianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01731931697888924669noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1522121129844880066.post-59645186887341649882011-02-15T09:22:36.809-05:002011-02-15T09:22:36.809-05:00I think just before she sued him, Breitbart said, ...I think just before she sued him, Breitbart said, "Please, whatever you do, don't throw me in the briar patch."A.Worthinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14274848170181147489noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1522121129844880066.post-25191227134743863632011-02-15T09:21:30.584-05:002011-02-15T09:21:30.584-05:00I have a feeling Shirley Sherrod just stepped in i...I have a feeling Shirley Sherrod just stepped in it and drug the AD with her.Lynnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11434677477325003557noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1522121129844880066.post-58815887987327813252011-02-15T08:57:16.464-05:002011-02-15T08:57:16.464-05:00Ken,

So the likelihood that Breitbart will pay a penny himself is small, and more important, there is no claim here if all they have is the tape and the statement Breitbart issued when the tape was released, which as I have documented, did have the context of the statement.William A.

It was the left who hijacked the message (as usual) and made it about racism against the black woman. <br /><br />When I read about this lawsuit over the weekend, I could almost feel Breitbart's excitement that he got what he wanted. The "institutional left" reacts, as usual, by slapping a lawsuit on the target. But the leftists just don't get that Andrew Breitbart and his fellow investigators (including a HuffPo guy!) are onto their Alinsky tactics, have planned - even counted - on them being utilized, and will use them to expose what they REALLY want: who knew about Pigford, what did they know, and when did they know it? The truth will be revealed, if the suit continues.<br /><br />Personally, I believe Sherrod and co. will quietly retract the suit, now that they realize they have everything to lose, and Breitbart has everything to gain.DINORightMariehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01067345219054999889noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1522121129844880066.post-22816607544376548382011-02-14T09:54:17.689-05:002011-02-14T09:54:17.689-05:00It is short term thinking for the left. the idea ...It is short term thinking for the left. the idea was to make sure any possible monday mention of Breitbart's Pigford stuff also came with baggage.<br /><br />Like the free spenders they are they only sought to win one news cycle undeterred by the long term cost.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1522121129844880066.post-35694848328879071932011-02-14T09:46:27.428-05:002011-02-14T09:46:27.428-05:00I've said this at least a dozen times to as ma...I've said this at least a dozen times to as many people ... but wasn't the very, very obvious point of the video the NAACP audience's nodding and laughing reaction to her initial mistreatment of the white farmer?
