Sherrod and the mysterious lawsuit

Hm. Much more to be told about this story. American Thinker has some interesting insight:

In other words, according to Agri-Pulse.com the number of total claims filed not only exceeded the original estimate by almost 40 to 50 times, it is close to four times the USDA's estimate of 26,785 total black owned farms in 1977!   One reason for this is that the settlement applied to farmers and those who "attempted to farm" and did not receive assistance from the USDA.  Getting the latest round of Pigford cases from the 2008 farm bill settled is said to be a high priority for the Obama administration.
So where does Sherrod come into this picture?  In a special to the Washington Examiner, Tom Blumer explains  that Sherrod and the group she formed along with family members and others, New Communities. Inc. received the largest single settlement under Pigford.
  This story is still unfolding. Be sure to read the whole thing.
  All those who are so quick to dismiss her comments about "his own kind," and those nasty Republicans who disliked the president because he's black should read what she said to Media Matters about Fox News today. How much more u-hum can you get than this about Fox.
