He's beating the crap out of Indiana Jones, and the propeller of an airplane runs into him, splattering him all over.

Of course they had to wait until he noticed that it was going to happen, the same as the coyote who hangs in midair until he realizes it, then hits the canyon floor. The soon to be dead guy was enjoying the fight up until the moment he saw Jones staring at the fan.

Maybe there is a way to add text that would make it clear.
The fact is, it is brilliant, once you realize it is a Nazi who
is about to have his head chopped off by a FAN

When I did that I used to joke that I had a small role in the film whenever they showed that particular fight scene.

Is that they don't really care if their candidate looks stupid in a debate. Case in point..Rick Perry. Or even GWB vs. Al Gore.

In fact it probably helps them with the "I'd like to have a beer with him" crowd, because he wouldn't make them feel dumb.

For liberals, who are proven to be made up of the more educated in society, its damn frustrating. How do you ever win? If your candidate fumbles, he's criticized by both left and right, if a wingnut fumbles, and his more left opponent walks all over him, he is portrayed as endearing and the liberal opponent as a bully. Just another entitled, hollywood, champagne sipping limousine liberal.

People are talking about the damn fan BS, and not his horrendous record. Mission accomplished. He pulled the same shit with his previous opponent, too. He threw a hissy fit about her looking at her cell phone before the debate, and people focused on that, rather than on this dirtbag's record. Same shit, different election.
