Uh, did you even read my post? I wasn't defending her being chosen as a VP candidate. I was defending the fact that she was already the Gov. of Alaska and she had gotten there based upon her merit. If you're just going to tl;dr, at least just post that before going off in a rant.historybuff said:
Secondly, self-righteous? How is defending someone's right to being acknowledged for their accomplishments being self-righteous? Are we speaking the same language here?
Thirdly, if you'd actually, once again, read the context in which I spoke about Hitler, you'd see that I was saying that even though he was a horrible person, he did in fact have some good ideas and helped Germany through a horrifically difficult time before he went apeshit bonkers with war. I was using him as a comparison of the fallacy of writing someone off because of blind rage for their beliefs or something that they've done. Just because Hitler was a madman doesn't mean that his strategic genius was any less potent during war, amiright?
