His family owned the slave ships and have been pieces of shit ever since.
So hang his fathers. I'm sure alot of us have an ancestor or 2 that whipped a slave more than once. Guess that means we can conclude ourselves evil now for something that happened before we were born.
The man was book smart (kinda). His political success was realized through the potency of his name and or course whatever influence you believe his brother governor had over the florida votes(which, assuming that's what happened, would have happened whether W ordered it or not. Jeb and HW wanted their family in the white house). He's responsible for what his administration did, sure. I just don't think it's appropriate to denounce him as evil. Incompetent or naive are better descriptions.
