And yet somehow you're the only one that opines to the moral equivalence of dictators and terrorists with the unique insight that "one mans hero is another man's terrorist". Thanks for enlightening the rest of us schlubs with your cool worldview.
He literally googled "famous heroes" and regurgitated a few of them here!

If your online presence didn't scream crotchety, ignorant old man, I'd swear you were 12. I guess that's what living in a shitehole like Jefferson, GA gets you. Grow up, old man.

I figured out exactly what your hero list reminds me of......
Slater: Who are your heroes?
Miss Teen Atlanta: I personally believe that like one man's Sherman is another ones Ghandi. And like heroes when googled must include like Che and Lincoln. And such as. If like Americans had maps, Mandela could be freed. And the children are the future. And such as. Thank you.

You have to be the most down-voted poster on this board. Congrats, you're #1 in something.

The only thing more pathetic than being affected somehow by red colored e-arrows in my mind....would be to somehow be affected by green colored e-arrows.
I'll say this on that topic though: I will guaran got damn tee you that whoever the person on this site is that has clicked off the most total of red colored e-arrows......is not by coincidence and more than 99.999% likely to be the biggest frowning beta-gimp ever to have registered. I'm talking a mega mongo beta-tard for the ages.

Problem is that I bet you get even more red arrows IRL.

Given that Guevara spent most of his time oppressing the ever-living-frick out of Africans and South Americans, his hero status amongst them is rather limited.
As far as Mandela, he's not overly well thought of by those outside of his tribe.

I said that the British considered Washington a traitor and a terrorist. He rebelled against the king and introduced gorilla warfare. Ever read a history book?
That's a lot of error in a short paragraph. Most obvious: guerrilla, not gorilla.
Washington didn't really use guerrilla tactics - he led the Continental Army and fought main force actions. Further, he damned sure didn't "introduce" guerrilla tactics to North America. The Indians, and groups like Roberts Rangers had already done it well before. Plus, the Brits had faced such tactics in Scotland, Ireland, and India long before, too.
The Brits did consider him a traitor, but generally speaking, an honorable one. He wasn't viewed as a terrorist, as he fought military engagements.

I said the he introduced "gorilla" (shoot me) warfare. I thought maybe you could infer the theater. Here's a short read: LINK
If you're not a reader, here's a quote: "Superior knowledge of home ground coupled with effective
guerrilla warfare tactics, such as attacking from the
rear and adopting enemy uniforms as a disguise."
Terrorist might have been a strong word to use as a description of how the British categorized Washington. But in "civilized warfare", Washington's tactics were certainly considered guerrilla.
The original thesis stands. Washington was a hero to most Americans, certainly a villain, if not a terrorist, to the Crown.

He's pointing out that you're a useless tard for not realizing that native Americans had been using guerilla tactics in North America long before Washington's great great grandpa's great grandpa was even born dumbass.
Ha ha. You're too dumb to even realize when and how you're being insulted.

What do red arrows look like IRL? Is that when beta-gimps poke their lower lip out or something?

Might want to check out some of the other guys who've won the "Peace" prize:
Barack Obama - for being president for a couple of weeks. Has since participated in wars in Syria, Libya, Yemen, Iraq, and Afghanistan. Major proponent of extrajudicial killings.
Yasser Arafat: truly, peace personified.
UN Peacekeepers: guess they're overlooking the child rape, regular rape, standing aside for genocide, and war crimes, to name but a few of their sterling credentials.
Teddy Roosevelt: sort of helped end one war, but instrumental in starting another.
And that's just a few of them.

Sorry, it fails. The Crown subsequently referred to Washington as "the greatest man in the world." The Crown's officers dubbed him a worthy opponent. Not exactly the mark of one deemed a villain.
As for your source: it's a generalized "fact sheet," and your pull quote is listed as an "American Advantage," it is not personalized to Washington himself, who, again, led the Continental Army. It was guys like Ethan Allen, Thomas Sumter, and Francis Marion who did the guerrilla fighting. And again, they didn't introduce it - that was the way war had been conducted in North America for quite a while.

Subsequently. How subsequently? Says who? You've seen Trumbull's famous painting of all of the signers of The Declaration of Independence. Well that never happened. Signers had to sneak into town and sign seperately because, if caught by the British, they'd be hanged for treason. That was the climate during the war.
Washington is revered in the U.S. and is one of the greatest heroes to ever live. But if you think the Briitish, who were fighting him, thought him "the greatest man in the world", you're not very well educated on the subject.

King George III himself. You know...THE Crown. The very king Washington rebelled against.

Again, direct quote, from King George. So yes, they did. During the war, they thought him an honorable opponent. After the war, when he stepped aside from pretty much unlimited power, and again later, when he did it a second time following his presidency, the King was amazed.
Then there is how they reacted to the news of his death: "Washington’s death brought tributes even from the British who had fought him. Royal Navy battleships blockading Brest lowered their colours to half mast and The London Morning Chronicle opined that ‘The whole range of history does not present to our view a character upon which we can dwell with such entire and unmixed admiration’."
So, again, the Brits themselves are calling him the greatest.

But did he get his likeness put on a tshirt sold at the Gap like Che - so idiot kids and holier than thou moderates and progressives could herald him as a hero at suburban dinner parties - despite the number of people he murdered and oppressed?
You know what they say, one mans terrorist is another mans psycho Marxist killer.

This is awesome. Can we move on to his inclusion of Che Guevara on the hero list he complied by google search now though?
I'm thinking that's probably an even bigger comedy gold mine.
