Synopsis:

Andrew Breitbert maliciously edited breitberted a video that Shirley Sherrod made, to make her out to be racist.  She subsequently resigned.

This is, approximately, bullshit.

So, Amanda Marcotte of Pandagon started up a Twitter thing: "The hash tag is #ifandrewbreitbarteditedit, and the idea is to drive home that you can't believe everything you hear in heavily edited videos."

Oh god, some of these tweets are hilarious.  My favourite so far is by arensb: "Lord of the Rings: a thief's nephew grows up to be a fifth-columnist."  Also: ""Some Like It Hot" is a cautionary tale about predatory cross dressers."

Pass it on!
