MANY MORE STICKER DESIGNS HERE
will they defend Palin from Walters?
That drew laughter from even “The View” co-host Joy Behar, a staunch liberal whose politics fall in line with Weiner’s. However, Walters also defended Weiner by attacking former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin. She argued if Palin can make a bus tour and be considered viable for the presidency, then Weiner can get away with this and continue to be a sitting congressman.
And by this time, of course, the various town Committees of Safety, militia knew what the signals were, so they knew something was afoot. So this is no longer a secret operation for the British.
Revere isn't trying to alert the British, but he is trying to warn them. And in April of 1775, no one was talking about independence. We're still part of the British Empire. We're trying to save it. So this is a warning to the British Empire what will happen if you provoke Americans.
BLOCK: And Sarah Palin also was saying there that Paul Revere's message to the British in his warning was: you're not going to take American arms. You know, basically a Second Amendment argument, even though the Second Amendment didn't exist then.
Prof. ALLISON: Yeah. She was making a Second Amendment case. But, in fact, the British were going out to Concord to seize colonists' arms, the weapons that the Massachusetts Provincial Congress was stockpiling there.
So, yeah, she is right in that. I mean, and she may be pushing it too far to say this is a Second Amendment case.

BLOCK: So you think basically, on the whole, Sarah Palin got her history right.
Prof. ALLISON: Well, yeah, she did.... "

NPR is a different POS... it floats..
Me thinks that even NPR believes that Palin can beat Obama.
Time to suck up?
Their funding would be in her hands.
Sarah Palin wouldn't be voted in as President only, she probably would have a Senate majority to go with the house.
What most coverage doesn’t mention is that Revere didn’t complete the “Midnight Ride” and it was left to two others to complete the warning . The whole reflection is an interesting episode in American history. Revere was caught and conned his way out of a hole in the head. When he got to his destination anoter relay team member took over

Thanks for posting this..
Living far enough out in the woods that AM talk radio won’t come in, I am often listening to NPR’s news shows. Was amazed to hear, in a military-related report a coupla days ago, our national anthem and the Army song (Caissons), too. Imagined New England academics in Volvos and Subarus puking and careening from lane to lane as they clawed at the radio controls with their eyes closed.
Occasionally, in the spirit of remorse, NPR does clarify things in such a way that is not an unremitting attack on all things conservative. That is at least a tacit recognition that the repository of all wisdom is not exclusively with the more learned of atheists and social progressives, but in fact, those of conservative bent are not entirely ignorant yahoos or knee-jerk reactionaries.
Of course the British were warned that the revolutionary colonists were ready to react, and changed their tactics somewhat with this foreknowledge. Had not the British troops their own lookouts scanning the horizon?
Sarah stated that her intent was to draw attention to our history by visiting important historical sites.
Seems to me she is accomplishing her mission - but you won’t hear or read that in the MSM.
Ironic ain’t it?

“Basically,” says Brendan McConville, a history professor at Boston University, “when Paul Revere was stopped by the British, he did say to them, ‘Look, there is a mobilization going on that you’ll be confronting.’ ” ...“The British are aware as they’re marching down the countryside they hear church bells ringing - she was right about that - and warning shots being fired. That’s accurate.”

Patrick Leehey of the Paul Revere House in Boston says the midnight rider was probably bluffing his Redcoat captors, so maybe it could be construed that Revere was in fact warning the British. “But I don’t know if that’s really what Mrs. Palin was referring to.”

Mr. McConville was even less gracious conceding that Mrs. Palin had gotten it right. He wouldn’t concede that her remarks were based on scholarship. No Ph.D, no tenure for her. “I would call her lucky in her comments.” The rest of us would call her correct, but that’s just how professors think. Though not all.
“It seems to be a historical fact that it happened [her way],” says William Jacobson, a law professor at Cornell. “A lot of the criticism [of Sarah Palin] is unfair and made by people who are themselves ignorant of history.”

Brian Williams snickered at what he called Palin’s “manufactured history” last night on NBC Nightly Nooze. Not surprising when you know where he came from...
She got chop blocked by the professor....good going....
However, the media never picked up on the Democrat that thinks the three branches of the government are the senate, the house of representatives, and the white house.
This whole controversy could have been avoided by saying the British were “put on notice,” rather than “warned.” Or by a fair and impartial press. :(
