re: #70 Dark_Falcon

He’s being properly skeptical in my opinion. I think that Breitbart was being malicious, but proving it will be hard. Suing a journalist over a news story (and yes, in the eyes of the law that is what Shirley Sherrod is doing) is extremely difficult in the US. Sherrod may win, but the deck is stacked in Breitbart’s favor.

It might not be that difficult. I think the key is who gave the tape to Breitbart. It wasn’t just downloaded off the web somewhere, it came from the company that was hired to film the event. I don’t think it will take much for them to figure out who requested the tape from them. It was probably Breitbart or one of his employees and I doubt they were very clever in trying to hide their identity.
