The Merriam Webster's Collegiate Edition entry for mudslinger reads as follows: "one that uses offensive epithets and invective esp. against a political opponent." Mudslinging does not imply making false claims, but representing the truth in a manner that is intended to shock. The posting of the Allen video to YouTube is a fine, albeit modern-day, example of mudslinging.
Please give my whole article a read before jumping to conclusions from a paraphrase.
