When did it become popular to defend Alexander Hamilton? I thought the conservatives hated Hamilton.

^Definition of defend.
Dictionary.com "to attempt to retain (a championship title, position, etc.), as in a competition against a challenger."
Mirrium Webster - Defend "to keep (something, such as a right, interest, cause, etc.) from being taken away."

I don't think anyone is defending Hamilton so much as they are fighting against changing the status quo. It wouldn't matter who was on the $10 bill.
Right or wrong, some people view changing it to a woman is little more than a politically correct "feel-good" measure designed to placate at the very least women, and at the most, minority women.
Personally, it matters little to me whose face appears on our currency. Having a woman, minority or otherwise, appear on the $10 bill is of little consequence, and the 100-year anniversary of the 19th Amendment is a fitting occasion for such a measure. It wouldn't be the first time the Mint has changed who appears on our money, and it won't be the last.
Who knows? It might be a limited run before they return to Hamilton. If that is the case, collectors will take most of them out of circulation anyway.

Nope, didn't see were anyone defended Hamilton, there was mention of females to put on the bill with certain remarks, no one said that they shouldn't thus defending.
A bit sensitive are we?

At least Fonda had the balls to go to Vietnam, more than you can say for the chickenhawk warmongers you parrot!
