New Verb: Breitbarting

New Verb: Breitbarting
Just a humble suggestion for the world, I noticed in the news that the Romney campaign has been trying to stoke faux-outrage over Obama's supposedly "anti-business" attitude. The manufactured outrage is based on a selectively edited quote from a speech of Obama's.

http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/plum..._blog.html

The late, great Andrew Britebart blazed this trail and proved how effective it can be with his success in slandering both individuals and organizations through deceptive editing of footage. Britebart proved that the truth doesn't matter as long as you have a slick video editing software package. Now that the tactic has proven so successful, we can expect to see more of it in the future.

I therefore propose a new verb, "Britebarting" (formerly known as "slandering" and "quote mining") to honor his accomplishment in this field. This was, after all, what he dedicated his life to and he should be remembered for it.
