Bottom line: This is embarrassing for Gov. Palin.
You can spin it all you wish that Palin was technically correct.
But my understanding is the *primary* purpose of Revere’s mission was to warn Americans of the advance of the British.
This will add fuel to the meme that Palin isn’t ready for prime time.
Hope she can recover from this or that DeMint jumps in.
Why are you writing me about Palin being technically correct? I didn’t even hear the sound bite. I don’t care what she said about Paul Revere. I think she’s great; I’ll vote for her if she runs and if she don’t...well, life goes on.
But who do you folks (who don’t like Palin) want to get the nomination? I’m curious about that.
Oh, DeMint. Well, as Kate Hepburn used to say: bore, bore, bore.
“But my understanding is the *primary* purpose of Revere’s mission was to warn Americans of the advance of the British.”
So your simplified understanding of history disallows you to see the facts that Revere did warn the Brits to dissuade them and demoralize them from advancing?
Absurd.
