Don’t most historical works render the name of the Civil War general as “McClellan?”

Only because that was his name.

I’m sure the Scotts are not proud of this particular descendent of the land of Sir William Wallace. May Scotts soul rot in hell as the traitor he is to the U.S.A.

“McClelland” ? Wow, that’s a big goof that ruins the effectiveness of the entire article. A quick check of Wikipedia could’ve cleared it up in 30 seconds.

Dont most historical works render the name of the Civil War general as McClellan? That is his correct name. Could this piece be a bit of a preemptive strike to keep the GOP from making the tie-in between the copperheads (RATs) of old and the New Copperheads (RATs) of today. They are the same party with the same goal of destroying the Constitution if not the nation.

George B McClellan had at least one characteristic that drove Lincoln up the wall. Lincoln couldn’t get him to engage the Confederates. Time and time again, McClellan let opportunity to attack slip through his fingers.
He reminds me of the Major General trying to get the police to arrest the pirates, in Pirates of Penzance. The cops kept repeating “We go, we go”. Finally the Major General says “Damme, you won’t go!” Lincoln had to have similar feelings about George B.
As for Scott, hope he enjoys his 30 pieces of silver.

This insightful article should be the definitive final word on the entire sordid McCellan mess. I hope it will be.

Just as McClellan = McClellan, so does Murtha = Valandingham. The Copperhead parallel extends right down to the words and the speeches of the "Peace Democrats" of both eras.
Actually, the McClellan equation only goes so far. McClellan the General, albeit ineffective in command, was much admired by the troops. McClellan the Twerp doesn't seem to have been admired by anyone at any time.

The rat party has never stopped being the Copperheads. They were the ones that coarsened the White House with Jackson’s four day drunken party including horses inside the White House. They were the ones who gave us the KKK. They were the ones who passed the Jim Crow laws. They fought every effort to integrate America. They made welfare the enemy of the Black and poor family. They wanted to surrender during the Civil War. They surrendered in Viet Nam. They are trying to surrender now. They are always working to keep us dependent on middle east oil. New Copperheads? When did they EVER stop being the Copperheads?
