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!

Columbus was not an admiral or even a sailor. He was a piss poor mathematician who miscalculated the circumference of the earth by thousands of miles and thought when he hit the coast of what became America it must be India. Hence he named the people he found there Indians. The circumference of the earth had been calculated rather accurately 200 years BC by a Greek.
So what? Who had the stones and the ambition to sail out into the unknown and discover another land mass,Columbus or that Greek? BTW,unless I am mistaken,Columbus was Portuguese,not Italian. Not that it makes any difference.
The Vikings did! LoL
The Vikings did! LoL Yeah,at least on the east coast. They just didn't,and still don't get credit for it,though. I believe it was the Chinese who first discovered the west coast of North and South America,but they aren't going to get any credit for that,either. Both made their discoveries,and then did nothing with them but leave. If they had remained and build settlements and colonized the land,they would have gotten the credit.
