 Shirley Sherrod Returns To USDA To Work On Civil RightsShirley Sherrod is back at the United States Department of Agriculture, almost a year after she was forced out by a misleading video spread by conservatives falsely accusing her of discriminating against white farmers. Sherrod will not take her old position, reports Politico, instead rejoining the agency to work on civil rights. In her new job, she'll lead a program designed to improve relations with minority farmers. In a video circulated by Andrew Breitbart last year, Sherrod was shown discussing how she was reluctant to offer help to white farmers. She was subsequently fired. But her dismissal turned into a fiasco for the agency when it was revealed that the video misportrayed her speech, which actually told of how she learned not to discriminate and, in fact, had since befriended the farmers in question. She is currently suing Breitbart over the incident. tpmdc.talkingpointsmemo.com/2011/05/shirley-sherrod-returns-to-usda-to-work-on-civil-rights.php?ref=fpb |

Suck on that, Breitbart and all the other racists. Seems like a lot of "liberal" leaning channels posted it too. Also, back to calling everybody racist has been overplayed. Thankfully it doesn't work like it used to. |

Her cabinet appointment didn't come through? I thought she would be Obama's next Secretary of Agriculture while he waits for Hugo Chavez to free up...
