Some historical claims are irrefutable: Hitler was a dick; Einstein was a brilliant sex maniac. A few other claims, however, are not quite as black and white. In honor of Labor Day, the only federal holiday that doesn't pay homage to a historical event or person, we've uncovered some 100-percent true reasons you should probably hate some of history's greatest heroes. Historical Figure:
Why You Should Hate Him
Historical Figure:
Why You Should Hate Him Can you guess who's name was omitted? If you guessed Adolf Hitler, you're right and also totally insane for guessing that. You may remember Hitler as the character mentioned in the intro to this piece as an irrefutable dick. Apparently, Gandhi disagreed. We should have known this about Gandhi as soon as he started shaving his head ... Historical Figure:
Why You Should Hate Him Also, Sally Hemmings was most likely the sister of Jefferson's dead wife, essentially his sister-in-law, so there would be a couple of kids running around the White House that Jefferson was both father and Uncle to. He'd really have his hands full. At least, he would have, had he ever actually acknowledged their existence. Historical Figure:
Why You Should Hate Him With the rise of al-Qaeda, you could almost make the argument that Wilson was ahead of his time in his hyphen-phobia, a word he was probably terrified of. But, then you remember that he would have thought Kareem Abdul-Jabbar was a bigger threat than al-Zawahiri and you realize Wilson was actually retarded. |

Seriously w.t.f. why bash on F.D.R. for being in a wheel chair what does that have to do with anything, the incest and adultery i can accept but really attacking a man because he had polio that's just low.
It's worth mentioning that Patrick Henry didn't actually say "Give Me liberty, or give me death." Or, in fact, any of the other quotes attributed to him. They were all made up by overenthusiastic biographers. All of them. In real life, Patrick Henry never did anything awesome. EVER. In fact, he was kind of a loser.
Actually, I probably read this in some other Cracked article, but I'll pretend not to remember that.
Hahahaha! The Gandhi column got me! I f*****g knew he was crooked some how. I'd imagine ,in fairness, this was a comment before WW2. In which case, to a certain extent, he may have been right.
on the Woodrow Wilson note he also signed in to law the biggest sham ever the federal reserve which is the biggest load of bull s**t ever.
Guys, you forgot Mother Teresa.
Man, Nikola Tesla. That dude kicked ass. He supposedly made a death ray. Of course, he also claimed he had long talks with a strange, white pigeon that visited his window. Why are all super smart people fucked up in some way?
Hey guys, your taking this pretty seriously. Cool down. This is a humor site.
Doomboy, that's pretty ignorant. He really should be hated because he takes credit for many great things.
thomas edison was not a dick and shouldn't be hated
FDR, even with polio, could kick anyone's ass.
MOAR DETAILZ!
All of this is short and sweet but dammit we need links.
Roosevelt standing up! http://www.medalofhonor.com/FranklinRooseveltAwards2.jpg
A reason to hate FDR would NOT be the fact he's in a wheelchair, but the fact that his economic policies during the Great Depression made it worse and longer.
Hey, F.D.R. had f*****g Polio. f**k you guys! So he didn't wanna show weakness. Men always wanna say "No, I have no problem GETTING IT UP." Well, what self-respecting man would want to say that?
F.D.R. (though, yes, being kinda creepy with the cousin) was a good president. Okay guy, too.
What about Albert Einstein? THAT guy was a dick.

Patrick Henry's wife Sarah Shelton Henry developed Puerperal Psychosis (also known as Postpartum Psychosis, not to be confused with Postpartum Depression) following the birth of her last child, Edward, in 1771. Today the condition is treatable using anti-psychotic medication, but those clearly didn't exist in the 18th century. There was an insane asylum that was built in Williamsburg around that time, but conditions in mental health facilities during that period were worse than those for cattle (crazy people aren't as tasty). Therefore Patrick Henry refused to have his wife committed there, and instead chose to have her confined to a large cellar room where she was made as comfortable as possible, living the remainder of her life in the care of people who loved her.
So ThunderTrout was correct, and Tartra - to give you an example of why it's a good idea to confine someone who suffers from this condition and isn't treated: Andrea Yates, who drowned her 5 children in a bathtub in 2001, suffered from Postpartum Psychosis.
Wikipedia makes no mention of the wife in the basement…so without detailed facts my over active imagination likes to picture Patrick Henry dropping down a basket of lotion to his wife while tucking 'it' under.
Actually when Woodrow Wilson used the term "Hyphenated Americans" Black people were the one group he wasn't talking about. The term African-American only goes back to the 70's. Wilson was a racist nth degree, but the "hyphenated Americans" comment actually shows his bigotry to other white ethnic groups, i.e. Irish-American, German-American, etc.
I love how people come on cracked and tell them how unfunny they are...um why they hell do you keep coming back then?? And get of FDR's nuts, you guys are stupid as hell if you think Cracked is telling you to hate someone for being in a wheelchair. Ok I'm done love the article!
