She mentioned “warning the British” which I’ve seen spun that “well we were really all British at that point” to “well, he warned the British after his capture” and it was all about shooting and guns, which isn’t entirely accurate as there was more to it than the right to bear arms. So yes the facts were there in a roundabout way.
But more importantly, she sounded like Zero with all the “ums” and “ands”. Bad, bad run on sentence. As one who actually saw the video it was extremely cringe-worthy.
She could have easily said she’s having a wonderful time and highly recommends everyone visit these historical places or at least bones up on our nation’s history without throwing out that garbled communique.
And I get how the LSM gives Zero a pass on all his gaffes but we are not talking about Zero here.
I like Palin well enough but the contortions of her rabid supporters are disheartening. Why not admit she got it sorta right but was caught off guard. I get the need to defend her against the rabid haters in the LSM and the left. But it’s okay, to err is human.
Actually, it appears she got it right, not sorta[sic] right. Why not come out and say that?
When you’re looking for doo-doo, you’ll think you see some until you get close and pay attention to what’s actually there. Lesson: the doo-doo is on your own spectacle lens.
Palin merely stated that Paul Revere “warned the British that they weren’t going to be taking away our arms.” An accurate statement, verified by scholars of history.
Any spin coming from Palin herself? No. (Another lesson in how to pay attention to what’s actually there.)
Palin fooled a lot of people. Some might have the grace to admit it, but I haven’t heard any yet.
