Webster's Dictionary Redefines the Word 'Partisan'
acclaimedmedia.com

NEW YORK CITY - The people that publish Webster's Dictionary today announced that they have officially redefined the word 'partisan'. It will no longer mean, "a strong supporter of a person, party or cause." From now on the word partisan will be, "a negative word used to describe anyone who disagrees with the Democratic party." Synonyms for the word Partisan will include: unloving, closed-minded and mean spirited.

Webster's has also redefined the word "bipartisan" to mean "anyone loving and open-minded enough to agree with Democrats". Synonyms for bipartisan will include: enlightened, humanitarian and genius.

When asked what motivated them to change the definitions of these words, Daniel Miriam, spokesman for Webster's Dictionary told BNN, "I cannot give specific details but let me just say that we received a call from someone who said that he would reveal the contents of our FBI files if we didn't make these changes."
