Of course, as we all remember Dorothy and her FRiends did not surrender!
I wish at times like this she would just say that she misspoke.
Sure, as in “The sky is blue...Oh, sorry, I misspoke.”
why?are you truly unaware that paul revere did in fact warn the british that the colonists were ready to fight after he was captured?read your history before you say palin mispoke.
why? What did she get wrong? Please enlighten those of us who don’t know this history
Why? She didn’t misspoke, even Chris Wallace said that he looked it up and that she was right, just like when Sarah said ‘1773’ about the Tea Party and many Libs were laughing, thinking that she goofed it up because she was suppose to say 1776 but later on it was proven that she was right
Revere confronted 2 British regulars manning a road block as he headed north across Charlestown Neck. As he turned around, the regulars gave chase and he eluded them. He then continued on to Lexington, to the home of Jonas Clarke where Sam Adams and John Hancock were staying. There, his primary mission was fulfilled when he notified Adams and Hancock that "The Regulars are coming out!" (he never exclaimed, "The British are coming". This would have made no sense at the time since they considered themselves British).
Revere and Dawes then headed for Concord and came across Doctor Prescott who then joined them. They decided to alarm every house along the way.
Just outside of the town of Lincoln, they were confronted by 4 Regulars at another road block. They tried unsuccessfully to run their horses through them. Prescott, who was familiar with the terrain, jumped a stone wall and escaped. Revere and Dawes tried to escape and shortly into the chase they were confronted by 6 more regulars on horseback. Revere was surrounded and taken prisoner. Dawes got away as they were taking Revere into custody.
The British officers began to interrogate Revere, whereupon Revere astonished his captors by telling them more than they even knew about their own mission. (HA!) He also told them that he had been warning the countryside of the British plan and that their lives were at risk if they remained in the vicinity of Lexington because there would soon be 500 men there ready to fight.
Revere, of course, was bluffing. (end of excerpt)

The only thing Palin got wrong was she didn't point out that Revere was bluffing.
I forgive her.
Of course, as we all remember Dorothy and her FRiends did not surrender!
Not long for FR....
She was correct. You need to read history from accurate books and not watch it on Schoolhouse Rock.
Translation, courtesy of Yours Truly: "I wish at times like this she would just lie."
Then she'd be lying. That's not a better course of action. She spoke well and correctly and there's no shame in standing up for that.
