1. Good news. Now, let's undo the damage and see if Breitbart can be charged with libel.

No question there was malice and deliberate falsification.

2. Someone's head should roll for terminating her without all the facts in the first place.

4. I don't think so

There should be a rebuke and probably minor policy changes on grievance and whatnot, but I don't see why the actual operation of the USDA should be disturbed over this.

5. Yes.....Breidhard's head should roll,

and we should be the one to knock it off its block.

Some folks made a mistake, and should apologize,
but other folks conspired to start this fraudulent shit.

7. EXACTLY!!! ding ding ding

How the hell can they terminate a career employee of USDA
without any basic analysis of facts? No investigation, no
vetting, just fire from the hips? Unreal.

8. Absolutely! Others here seem to have low expectations for the people who decided to fire her without

investigation.

That doesn't mean brietbart shouldn't eat crow too. And so should Faux news.

No one's talking about their lies, it's now attack Obama time all the time.

Breitbart and Fox have dissappeared from the story and now everyone is in full attack Obama mode.

Good job guys, circular firing squad commence.
