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.”

5. Free clue for Republicons & their TeaBagger Subs

Your 'Republicon Family Values' Scumbaggery does not pay, in the end. It is morally bankrupt. Americans want truth, honesty, decency and justice. Who can blame them?

Since decent citizens are toTAllY disgustipated with RepubliScumbaggery, you all might try good, old-fashioned American Values sometime.

8. I hope Ms. Sherrod wins a huge settlement.

And, as to Breitbart's bleat about free speech, there are long standing laws dealing with libel and slander.

9. No one is challenging

his right to free speech. He can say what he wants but if it turns out to be a bogus bunch of crap, the victim has a right to sue his sorry ass.
