You know how Sarah Palin said Paul Revere warned the British? Well, he did. Now, who looks stupid?

She made one mistake in the story about the bells being rung instead

Actually the Lexington town bell was being run to alert the Lexington Militia to assemble on the green. However, links are being scrubbed.

Even I remember my history teachers telling me about Revere warning the Brits..
Maybe the MSM should ask the Park Employee what they tell the visitors about Revere’s rides?

This story is a great lesson in “gaffe-ology” — worth the read for sure, and not just for the Palin-Revere story.

Actually, the novel Gone with the Wind is terrific history. I remember when I was young I heard a historian say that Civil War historians almost all came to the subject through the book.

I know and ever kid in this country had to read it for years, but I bet that they do not anymore. But the date he wrote it is of no importance, it is a work of art.

If the media were interviewing Palin in a downpour and she stated that it was raining, the media would deny that and claim she was an idiot. They would find a weatherman/scientist to dispute that what was falling was rain.
They (media,liberals,America haters etc.)hate her because she actually calls them out for the nonsense they speak and represent. And because if she runs for President with a decent VP choice she will destroy obama........

It happened that night during the course of events. Are you so deep in PDS that you can’t admit she was right?

Great post! Is there a book someone could recommend on the subject? Leave it to Sarah to wake up my latent interest in our great history.

LOL, if you ask what was the purpose of the ride, she was wrong, if you ask what was the general out come of the ride then, then anything could have been the answer. What did Paul do for a living????

Note the Corrupt Media only reported what they thought was a faux pas. Those same Journalist’s should be ashamed of themselves, they are the idiots.
Also, The Corrupt Media is not distributing the News, they are manufacturing a story or fable to support and protect Ubama

The British were “put on notice” that the colonists were ready and willing to fight. They were warned. Too bad they didn’t listen and leave peacefully.
