Honestly, you got me. I’m not even sure why anyone would bother too “defend” Palin over these comments. This is laughable at best. People use that sort of language all of the time to mean things that aren’t literal. She wasn’t suggesting that Revere was LITERALLY ringing the bells to warn the British.
I think the way she worded the sentence was a little on the clumsy but nothing wrong with what she said.
I agree, this is just another feeble attempt to try and make her look bad.
“She wasn’t suggesting that Revere was LITERALLY ringing the bells to warn the British.”
What - you mean Reagan didn’t use a sledgehammer to bring the Berlin Wall down?
A weird thing on the wall. I was watching PBS and “the best of Laugh-In”. They had “News from the Future” or something. Two of their news articles that were back to back:
“Dateline: 1989. Berlin Wall Falls......Will be replaced by a moat.”
“Dateline 1986. Ronald Reagan runs for governor of California for 6th time.”
And yes - the wall did fall in 1989, and Reagan DID help to bring it down!
