Details of Sherrod’s Suit Against Breitbart

‘False and defamatory statements’

WingnutsFebruary 2011 • Views: 37,059

TPM has details on the lawsuit filed against Andrew Breitbart by Shirley Sherrod.

Three defendants are named: Breitbart, breitbart.tv head Larry O’Connor and a “John Doe,” who allegedly edited the original video of Sherrod’s speech, and “whose identity has been concealed by the other Defendants,” according to the complaint.

The complaint alleges that the defendants “defamed Mrs. Sherrod by editing and publishing an intentionally false and misleading clip,” which went on to do “extensive and irreparable harm to Mrs. Sherrod and her reputation.”

The suit asks for Breitbart’s post and the video to be pulled down by Breitbart and O’Connor, as well as for an order to prevent the defendants from “engaging in future tortious conduct against Mrs. Sherrod,” and seeks compensatory damages of no less than $5,001 and additional punitive damages.

Here’s the full text of the complaint.

I hope his ego does not allow him to settle. This is going to get good.

GO SHIRLEY!

John Peter Zenger wants Breitbart to just take the video down and settle.

Because while truth is a defense against libel, lies aren’t.

Let’s hope the punitive element will be significant. But the main thing surely is to expose Breitbarts wanton defamation and shameless lying to as large an audience as possible.

Mad Prophet Ludwig Mon, Feb 14, 2011 11:22:37am

Like I wrote yesterday, Breitbart is too narcissistic to not whine like a stuck pig about his “right” to lie and defame being infringed on. He will dig an even deeper hole than he has already - including all of his various remarks after this blew up at him, and it really is an open and shut case.

Proving malice is not difficult since he himself stated many times, that his goal was to destroy liberals, Obama and his administration. He has said such things many different ways and many different times. Of course one could argue that posting and bemoaning a tape so heavily edited from the original that it said the opposite of what the speaker said with the obvious intent to paint the speaker as evil is prima facie evidence of malice,

Proving it was a lie that caused damage is obviously easy.

Proving that he did not do due diligence journalistically is also easy.

I truly hope and I suspect that he is stupid enough to fight.

He will go down and it will be glorious. I hope the punitive damages are in excess of millions - and I further hope the various conservatives rally round him and spend millions on a fruitless defense. That is a win all the way around because it only heightens his fall from grace, shuts him down more completely and drains millions that could be put to electing assholes like Rand Paul.

“Punitive” could go sky high. Breitbart has a Brentwood address. “Punitive” has to be enough to hurt a bit, I think. From the Complaint: “…Punitive damages to punish defendant’s reprehensible conduct and to deter its future occurrence.” He’s already shown a propensity to re offend.

Did he also give you any opinion on what would be the most likely amount or a given range that the amount the jury selects falls into?

Also what do we know about jury selection for this particular trial? Will the pool be drawn from the state in which Sherrod works?

Consider that punitive damages in many high profile cases for lesser offenses were in the millions.

What I also hope is that Sherrod refuses a settlement even if he tries to cough one up. This could put Breitbart on the street actually if it goes poorly enough for him. Then he could be a nice cautionary tale to the wingnuts.

Dad siad such things would depend on the jury, how sympathetic Ms. Sherrod is and how much of a villian Breitbart can be painted as.

He laughed that if Breitbart gets a non-klan jury, then this would likely be millions.

I have no dog in this fight. I’d love to see Breitbart suffer appropriately for his actions, as I consider him to be a form of malignant, puss-oozing tumor on the face of our nation (along with a lot of other wing-nuts who get far more attention than they should). But if he gets off scot-free, then so the fuck what. I hope it costs him money he doesn’t have.

She won’t get any money. Breitbart is probably broke on paper. Having a judge put a lien on his business ventures, however, might result in some remuneration.

Yes, I’m getting that. It seems strategy to not ask for a specific amount, merely for punitive damages. They get assessed by a jury after they figure out how much he’s worth and how much it should hurt him.

I hope they hammer him and she gets a fat sum. Not only that, I hope she gets some, then they make him pay into a black farmers association fund (though they aren’t a party to this action).

Exactly and it isn’t as if he didn’t already dig himself a deeper hole when this whole thing blew up. There is scads of him saying stuff about how right he was and how of course she was an evil racist. Proving malice and intent to defame is especially easy given how stupidly he doubled down on his original lies.

And this is a very good thing, because a win for Sherrodgives the ability to show just how willing to lie the far right is.

Of course, like I said at the time of the original flap, that would require the Dems growing a spine. They didn’t then. Now they are getting a second chance to club a right wing media darling on the head. I hope they have the sense to walk through an open door and take the fight to the bad guys for a change.

Once you start showing they are mean lying bastards, you get to point out all the other mean lies and BS from a stronger position. I pray the Dems grow a pair for this and have the sense to speak uniformly on it. Of course, they aren’t likely to be that organized, proactive or courageous.

I hope so, because he sure as hell isn’t ever going to be pricked by his conscience into changing his behaviour.

I’m currently reading “The Private Memoirs and Confessions of a Justified Sinner” by James Hogg. It’s a brilliant account/distillation of the inverted morality and disturbed psychology of the wingnut, especially but not confined to the religious type. The hypocrisy, misogyny, the stalking - it’s all in there in this Scottish novel from 1824. Highly recommended.

This isn’t some minor law firm involved on behalf of Ms. Sherrod. She’s represented by Kirkland and Ellis, which is the 7th largest law firm in the world, and they aren’t exactly going to take the case unless they considered the punitive damages element to be significant - ie in the millions or 10s of millions of dollars.

Note too that Breitbart will focus on the fact that the firm leans strong Democratic in their PAC monies/contributions. That doesn’t diminish her case in the slightest, and would suggest that they’re going to be even more zealous in defending Sherrod’s rights against Breitbart’s smears and hatchet job videos.

I gotta confess that when the arc of the world turns to justice, it is beautiful to see.

I remember talking to a rabbi friend when Arafat was in the hospital for the last time. I said, I know it is wrong to pray that even he dies - can I instead pray that the bacteria live well and multiply a lot.

We both laughed.

But this is more than just enjoying seeing the good guys fight for a change. This could be a way to seriously cripple all those wingnut smear merchants associated with Breitbart. A win here could lead to millions of dollars in suits against all sorts of evil folks. This could be the impetus needed to permanently shut down all sorts of noxious wingnuts.

Cue up the Patsy Cline. “Crazy”…

Breitbart Blogger Moriarty Fled To Canada Because Of “Unanswered Questions” Over 9-11 And Oklahoma City

Last week, Andrew Breitbart defended using Michael Moriarty as a contributor on his websites, despite the actor’s belief in Oklahoma City and 9-11 conspiracy theories, because he’s an “important” voice who “fled the United States to Canada because of the torment that he experienced trying to express his conservative beliefs.”

In a recently posted column, Moriarty makes clear that his conspiracy theories play a central role in why he’s fled the United States. Moriarty wrote on EnterStageRight.com — which is not produced by Breitbart — that the “unanswered questions over the Oklahoma City Bombing and Attorney General Janet Reno’s early reporting of it persuaded me to seek shelter in Canada. The unanswered questions of 9/11 have kept me here in Canada.”

Moriarty’s remarks came in response to questions from me about his past statements about 9-11 and Oklahoma City. In 2007, Moriarty said that his theory about 9-11 is that President Bush and the Bin Ladens conspired together before the attacks to get Bush probable cause to invade Iraq. When asked if he had any doubt that Oklahoma City was an “inside job,” Moriarty replied: “None! There were two seismic reports of explosions, there were no federal — there were no children of federal employees in the building at the time in the daycare center, and the ATF were nowhere to be found.”

Continues.

The errors committed by others do not mitigate the charges against Breitbart at all.

This is a pity, the wingnut higher ups are not going to take the bait and cut their losses. I’m still hoping that someone like SarahPAC goes to bat for him :)

He’s off his rocker. Always was. I remember back when I used to watch “Red Eye” and sometime he’d be on as guest. This was several years ago. He barely said a word and when he did it would be some sophomoric joke or some incoherent nonsense. I’d always be thinking “who the heck is this strange person?”

Brietbrat blogger flees the country because of the persecution of conservative beliefs and 9-11 Truth (not kidding)
Breitbart Blogger Moriarty Fled To Canada Because Of “Unanswered Questions” Over 9-11 And Oklahoma City

Last week, Andrew Breitbart defended using Michael Moriarty as a contributor on his websites, despite the actor’s belief in Oklahoma City and 9-11 conspiracy theories, because he’s an “important” voice who “fled the United States to Canada because of the torment that he experienced trying to express his conservative beliefs.”

In a recently posted column, Moriarty makes clear that his conspiracy theories play a central role in why he’s fled the United States. Moriarty wrote on EnterStageRight.com — which is not produced by Breitbart — that the “unanswered questions over the Oklahoma City Bombing and Attorney General Janet Reno’s early reporting of it persuaded me to seek shelter in Canada. The unanswered questions of 9/11 have kept me here in Canada.”

more from the bullshit for breakfast crowd:

At home the adversary calls itself a progressive movement but its goal is to transform America into a socialist state, which would mean the destruction of our liberties. For as the founders warned, there is an ineluctable conflict between liberty and equality. You cannot make men equal without taking away their freedom. The founders devised a Constitution designed to thwart what they called “wicked schemes” to take wealth from one segment of the population and distribute it to another.

Our political parties are now divided between those on the left who want to use the state to redistribute wealth and those on the right who want to protect individual liberty, between those who want to expand government and those who want to limit it.

Here is my advice. You cannot defeat the forces who want to expand government merely by arguing that government is wasteful and inefficient and that the private sector accomplishes tasks better. We have already enlisted those who understand the benefits of the private sector. The only argument that will persuade others is the argument that government is destructive and hurts the people it is intended to serve.

Breitbart Humiliates Himself With Childish Taunts of Michelle Obama
Posted on February 14, 2011 by Sarah Jones

engineer cat Mon, Feb 14, 2011 12:15:31pm

(more: conservative icons have conspired to sneak muslim terrorists into the bush administration! omg omg omg!)

The Muslim Brotherhood has been wildly successful in its plan to become part of America’s civil culture and to infiltrate the institutions of America’s civil government, including the White House and both political parties, and the conservative movement as well. Suhail Khan is the proud son of Mahboob Khan and his protégé, as he is also the protégé of the convicted terrorist Abdurahman Alamoudi.

Sponsored by his longtime patron Grover Norquist, who has been a pillar of the conservative movement, Suhail Khan was given a White House appointment in the Bush Administration and facilitated Alamoudi’s access to the president. Suhail then became an Undersecretary of Transportation where he received a top security clearance. With Grover’s support Suhail has also been made a board member of the American Conservative Union and was the moderator of a panel on Religious Liberty yesterday at this event.

First lady depicted as fat, chowing down hamburger platter in cartoon
By: CNN Political Producer Shannon Travis

Washington (CNN) - First lady Michelle Obama is often praised for her taut arms and athletic physique. So why is a cartoon depicting her with fat cheeks, a double-chin and chowing down a platter full of hamburgers?

The cartoon appears on Biggovernment.com. The man behind the site is blogger and conservative firebrand Andrew Breitbart.

In the cartoon, the first lady is shown saying: “I’ve stepped up my efforts to control America’s eating habits by telling restaurants to lower portion sizes and fat content.” The drawing shows a plump Mrs. Obama working her way through a plate full of hamburgers and fries…

In other news, and I apologize for going OT, but what are people doing for Valentine’s day…

I just got done making some chocolate pots de creme…

You will need:

Demi tasses for espresso,
Big steel mixing bowl
sauce pot
whisk

1/2 cup good (I used Ghirardelli) 70% + dark chocolate.
1 cup heavy whipping creme
1/2 cup sugar
pinch of very finely ground good coffee
pinch of cinnamon
tiny pinch of cardamom
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1/2 tsp hazelnut extract
tiniest pinch of salt

Chop the chocolate finely. Place in steel mixing bowl with all pinches of spices. When I say tiny pinch of salt, I mean very tiny.

In a pot heat the whipping creme over medium eat until nearly boiling. This takes several minutes. Stir constantly.

Add vanilla and hazel nut extract with the sugar to the creme while heating.

Once the mixture is near boiling, you will be able to tell because the surface of the mixture will be active, pour the creme mixture into the bowl with the chocolate and spices. Whisk vigorously for several minutes until there is a consistency of a thick chocolate syrup.

Pour into demi tasses.

Chill in refrigerator for at least four hours.

When they come out the consistency will be somewhere between a thick chocolate mouse and fudge.

When serving, put a small layer of lightly whipped creme (with a pinch of sugar in it) on top and dust with cocoa or cinnamon. It will look like a mint cappuccino, serve with a sprig of mint on the side as a garnish.

A BALL spinning in a vacuum should never slow down, since no outside forces are acting on it. At least that’s what Newton would have said. But what if the vacuum itself creates a type of friction that puts the brakes on spinning objects? The effect, which might soon be detectable, could act on interstellar dust grains.

In quantum mechanics, the uncertainty principle says we can never be sure that an apparent vacuum is truly empty. Instead, space is fizzing with photons that are constantly popping into and out of existence before they can be measured directly. Even though they appear only fleetingly, these “virtual” photons exert the same electromagnetic forces on the objects they encounter as normal photons do.

from the link:

When asked whether he believed violence would be permissible to overturn Roe v. Wade, given some of his previous remarks about abortion, Moriarty replied that the question was “blood libel”:

The lives lost are gestating infants, sir. Not deaths by Civil War. How many abortions must we have before we come to our senses and repopulate or before America becomes part of an Islamic Caliphate?

Legalized abortion is ultimately an institutionalized, national suicide.

Read Mark Steyn’s America Alone on the population growth rate within nations of long term, legalized abortion.

Islam is out-propagating us exponentially, while, at the same time, its Jihadist policies are bent upon creating a worldwide, insatiable Caliphate, bent upon converting the entire human race to Islam, if not by free will, then by force.

The point is: how many lives by abortion must be lost, under policies which I consider murder, before America is destroyed by its own suicide, or at last realizes how Roe v Wade, if only for its policies of depopulating the Free World, is American suicide? [emphasis in original]

Breitbart fanboy is on deck.

Yep. The suit isn’t about what he’s doing or saying now. It’s about what he did and said then.

Someone should explain to Mitt Romney that this is why ‘revising’ his autobiography won’t work.

Shawna Forde, Kid-Killing Minutewoman, Convicted of Murder

Shawna Forde, a founder of the anti-immigration group Minutemen American Defense Corps., has been convicted of murder in the 2009 slayings of an Arivaca man and his nine year-old daughter.

The Pima County jury now must decide whether Forde, 43, should face the death penalty.

Jurors reportedly deliberated for five hours on Friday before leaving for the weekend without announcing a verdict. This morning, after about two hours of deliberation, the jury returned its guilty verdict.

Romney’s such a faker. Sort of reminds me of the 2008 primaries when he morphed into the anti-Romney.

And to share some of the secret, quiet, really good stuff from my country (sorry to go OT AGAIN) here is something I wish only my good friends in the US would get to hear (one of many stunning gems from this group):

I don’t know why anybody thinks he could win a presidential election. He just looks the part. Anything good he has ever done or stood for he is now against.

To the list of Canadian gifts to the world I would add:

Jason Jones and Samantha Bee for the Daily Show fans.

Tom Green and Seth Rogen for those who appreciate cerebral comedies.

And for purely for acting ability: Pam Anderson, Shannon Tweed and Natasha Henstridge

Actually we Canucks tend to keep the good stuff for ourselves and export some of the chaff…

If Candy, Moranis, Aykroyd, Hartman, Carrey, and Michael J. Fox are among your “chaff”, you must be keeping some really good stuff to yourselves ;-P

No. I’m not aware of any suspects other than the ones caught. Two more people go on trial in the next two months.

I have to suspect any man capable of going out with Kim Kardashian after HALLE BERRY to be slightly tasteless, if nothing else.

All men like a little trash every now and then, but I don’t think he called the baby racist names. I think Halle wanted a sperm donor who wouldn’t interfere with how she raised the kid, but instead of going to the sperm bank she wanted to inspect the merchandise. An old boyfriend of hers, said she tried to talk him into ‘giving’ her a baby, too. I knew Gabriel wouldn’t last for too long after the kid was born. Just sayin’.

re: #31 LudwigVanQuixote

Like I said, the twit dug himself a very deep hole. Proving malice is a cakewalk from his own words.

The only way he gets out unscathed is if some conservative foundation offers Sherrod so much hush money that she blinks.

Just watch as the appeals for financial aid on Fox News, Malkin, TNR, etc etc start raising funds for him. Also watch as more scum from Breitbart’s gang try to throw even more slime on her and her family as a warning…
