Ted may have made some spot on comments and observations but he's far from being a hero.

Fact check: false

So a murderer can be a hero to you? Wow. Let me remind you. He killed 3 Americans and injured many others. He is no hero except to maybe those on the fringe.

Ok. He's apparently a hero to a select few. A hero should capture the hearts of most everyone who knows them or their heroics. We saw heroes enter the Twin Towers on 9/11. We saw heroes at the Pentagon rescuing many trapped within the wreckage. Many are heroes in the true sense of the word. Killing someone for political reasons hardly makes them a hero. Except of course to those select few.

Everyone who has killed Am*ricans is a hero

It’s crazy how he is a hero.

I wouldn’t call him a hero more like a prophet.

I’d say hero. He knew what was going on. And he took steps to stop it.

I realize he is a terrorist, but if he was successful, he would have been a hero.

It’s a matter of perspective.
