Every day, I half expect to see a report confirming what a long suspected, that Salon is actually a Long Con by Alt Right operatives trying to create the most hysterical and intellectually vacuous image of the American Left possible. So it’s almost unfair to note this, but I couldn’t help myself. Scott Eric Kaufman is one of those people I truly hope is cynically peddling faux outrage in order to make a decent living. If he is actually triggered by these things he writes about, I don’t know how he makes it through the day. Today’s crime against humanity is the hashtag #ColumbusWasAHero. Kaufman kvetches: Despite the fact that it’s pretty much inarguable at this point that Christopher Columbus was a monster of historical proportions — the debate is, at this point, how great of one he was, comparatively speaking — there are many people who still vehemently defend him as a sort of sad proxy of their childhood or ideology. [Twitter embraces – and unloads on – the #ColumbusWasAHero hashtag campaign, October 12, 2015] There follows the typical Point and Sputter treatment as Kaufman declares he is shocked, just shocked at right wingers posting obviously true things such as: “Dear Columbus: thank you for helping civilize this continent. We are better off for it.” Happy Columbus Day everyone. #ColumbusWasAHero. And as long as the real America remains, we’ll honor the Admiral of the Ocean Sea. Poster Comment: Happy Columbus Day to all American patriots, with a shout out to my fellow American's who share some of Columbus's Italian blood. To all you anti- American dope smoking hippies who rage against Columbus, ESAD hippy fags!

Yawn. I find it hard to believe anyone -- on either Left or Right -- is so genuinely passionate about Chris Columbus. History just is, regardless of how much we like it or hate it. Venting about Chris C. doesn't change one iota of what he did, for good and ill.
