I understand the Professor's lament at the end of the interview--how it takes Sarah Palin for people to start wanting to know more about Paul Revere.

[goodnesswins]

THEY REALLY tried to get this Professor to say Sarah messed up....and she did NOT!

[TwoSwords]

I don’t think he was lamenting the fact that Palin was giving a history on Revere.

“and this is their system before Facebook, before Twitter,
before NPR”

Prof. ALLISON: I wish it didn’t take Sarah Palin coming to town to bring us together.

He just had enought integrity to not shame himself on the radio. Doubt he feels the same in the company of his fellow faculty.

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.

If the professor lived in Boston and knew history he just might have credibility on the issue. /s

“Prof. ALLISON: Yeah. She was making a Second Amendment case. “

especially with that United Nations plan recently in the News, to impose global gun control,
U.N. Agreement Should Have All Gun Owners Up In Arms

and the fact that Palin is a lot smarter than some people think...
...I wish more people would actually look at what Palin actually said. i don’t think Sarah Palin was trying to do a “gotcha” on the Media about Paul Revere, as even i first thought.
she seems to be trying to use it, as a lesson about 2nd Amendment. look how many times she uses the word “arms”.

...her ENTIRE emphasis, was about the rebels being able to DEFEND their liberty from the British,
BECAUSE they had arms.

= = =
””Part of his ride was to warn the British that were already there that

‘hey, you’re not going to take American arms,

you are not going to beat our own well-armed persons

individual private militia that we have.’”

”He who warned the British that they

weren’t going to be taking away our arms

by ringing those bells and by making sure that as he’s riding his horse through town to send those warning shots and bells that we were going to be secure and we were going to be free
and we were going to be armed.”

As an authentic, native-born American (with a genuine birth certificate to prove it), Sarah Palin not only knows American history, she's about to make it in the not-too-distant future!

GO SARAH GO!

If they have a problem with what the tour guide told her, they should take it up with the tour guide. Who thinks a tour guide is giving out incorrect information? Anyway, from what I’ve read from Paul Revere, she got the gist of it right.
