“she certainly gave the impression she was unaware of the real purpose.”
/// ?????????
...while i could concede she wasn’t “perfectly” accurate in every detail, i fail to see how she gave the impression she didn’t know the real prime purpose.
post #45 quotes her exact statements. and the VERY first word, is “part”. “Part of his ride was to... “
Logically, she was assuming that EVERYONE knew the real purpose. and she was adding additional information.
She absolutely needs to get on every media outlet now that she can and make these people who said she was wrong admit that she knew more then them.
It has to be done now and vehemently.
if not, then her being right won’t matter .. again the media will smear incorrectly but that is all that people will remember. That they slammed her as being stupid.
SHE NEEDS to make the pundits eat crow .. a lot of it!
That is the only way that they will ever back off their smear campaigns against her.

I understand and share your desire to explain away this gaffe but I find it difficult. One reason is that it is obvious in the video that she is desperately searching to come-up with an answer to whatever the question was. To me it didn’t look like she knew what she was talking about let alone looking to provide additional info.

/// i’m not trying to explain away anything.
technically, i think she did make a mistake!!!
she implies that informing the British was PART of the mission.
it was not.
...but, she clearly DID know, that that wasn’t the only part, or even the main part, and she made that clear.
...and, she clearly knew more about it (even if imperfect), than most Americans.
also, i agree, know the actual question would be useful.
but i think your “desperately searching” is off the mark.
please read again, her statements. she is NOT trying to do a “gotcha” on the Media, as even i first thought.
she is trying to “spin” it, into a lesson about 2nd Amendment. look how many times she uses the word “arms”.
people have been rigidly focusing on the details of Revere, and not actually READING what she said.
her ENTIRE emphasis, was about the rebels being able to DEFEND their liberty from the British, BECAUSE they had arms.
•””Part of his ride was to warn the British that were already there that
‘hey, you’re not going to take American arms,
you are not going to beat our own well-armed persons individual private militia that we have.’”
•”He who warned the British that they
weren’t going to be taking away our arms
by ringing those bells and by making sure that as he’s riding his horse through town to send those warning shots and bells that we were going to be secure and we were going to be free
and we were going to be armed.”
seriously you are just looking churlish now
It does matter because each time the MSM does something like this more americans learn to distrust them and their power lessens. The more we can show the MSM getitng their facts wrong and simply in attack mode against conservatives the more conservatives have a chance to change minds.
Which will make them look childish and immature and pure haters.
evil always destroys itself. You are seeing it happen before your eyes.
quote—Paul Revere also assisted Obama’s uncle in liberating Auschwitz.-—end quote
Yep Paul did that, too!!!!!
