Most Overrated Historic Figure(s)

Posted on 04/20/2013 7:55:55 PM PDT by MNDude

There are probably many people in history who have received more credit than they deserved. Excluding any US Presidents in the past century (that would be too easy), what three historic figures do you think are the most overrated?

My Gawd. . . how could you Freepers ALL miss Al (Global Warming) Gore and John (I served in Vietnam) Kerry?

To those, I'd add a man who has been behind more lost production than any one in the world, Steve Balmer, CEO of Microsoft.

Martha Raye entertained troops and was critical of the US media in their Leftist reporting of the war. She was also a great spokesman for a denture adhesive.

When she was young she was known for the beauty of her legs as well as her big mouth.

Leave Freud alone. He was one of the first to acknowledge homosexuality as mental illness. His decision was overturned by a politically correct APA in the 1970s.

My top 3:
Madonna
Nelson Mandella
Barack Obama

Good call on Ghandhi. He stole his moves from Jesus Christ, and even admitted it before he died.
