The fact that the Republican electorate gladly laps this up is sickening. What exactly is this video supposed to convince me of? How does the fact some schlub can digitally edit footage of George C. Scott playing Patton to make it appear as though Patton is saying something he never said make said schlub's argument any more compelling than if he'd presented it himself? The implication I'm supposed to find this clip especially persuasive is an insult to my intelligence.
