Blog, not newspaper. And good old Paul did not set out on his ride to warn the British. To try and say he did is also miss stating history, it is sort of like what was the name of the hill that the battle of bunker hill was fought on???

"WOW! From the LA Times???"

What's going on..

I’m a little angry at some Freepers who have been saying that not only was Sarah wrong in what she said but that she said it in a mangled way. So, innocent me, listening to talk radio this morning, while ironing my husband’s shirts, and on comes Sarah in her original quotes. Not only does she sound grounded, smart and knowledgeable, she says what she says in a very clear fashion.

So what’s going on here? A bunch of FR Sarah haters have been lying to those of us who missed her comments on the day she said them? Now I can’t trust Free Republic? I can understand not liking her and not wanting her to run. But to deliberately distort the truth is something else.

Maybe I need to go over to Lucianne.com. (And, I know, I know, don’t let the door hit me on the way out, lol!)

indeed, this shows it’s starting to dawn on the smarter ones that: “Sarah is coming and hell’s coming with her” (for the liars and cheats and scoundrels in DC)

Maybe we should be learning our history from Biden...

Bachmann goes to NH and confuses their Concord with the one of these events in MA. Media calls her on it and she does a mea culpa. Palin goes to Boston and the media think they've done much the same to her. But the media ends up doing the mea culpa. My conclusion: both Bachmann and Palin are smarter than the media!

I bet many of the media would make the same mistake Bachmann made, but they're never quized on their knowledge of such trivia. On non-trivial things she is far more knowledgeable. Not only did none of the media know the details of what Revere actually did, but it took far longer for them to learn the truth than it took for them to smear their ignorance around the globe. Given the way that story has usually been told I suspect many of us Freepers didn't know the full story. I didn't, yet I've walked Boston's Freedom trail, which IIRC includes Revere's house, and have been to the site of the famous bridge (now a modern replacement) of the night's climax. But our side, when Palin's words failed to match our memories, double checked our memories. And embraced the truth; whereas the liberal 'experts' are still trying to wriggle out its grasp. Thanks Sarah, for showing me that Paul Revere was even cooler than I'd thought!
