Please show me any place ever where I have said that J. Edgar Hoover is an American hero.
Hoover was a nasty piece of work. But in 2018, JEH is not the FBI and the FBI is not JEH. I work in cybersecurity. Inevitably in that line of work, you end up dealing with the Feds, at least occasionally. The agents I’ve dealt with have pretty much all impressed me as serious, dedicated professionals. Wouldn’t necessarily pick them for “best sense of humor”, but in that line of work, I’m not sure that’s what I’d want to select for anyway.
Look, pal. You have your opinions, I have mine. Neither of us is likely to change the other one’s. But I will not allow you to put words in my mouth like that uncontested. Can we be clear on that point?
