Unfortunately, the joke is not on the LSM. A lie can travel half way around the world while the Truth is putting its shoes on.

The local ABC Affiliate in Los Angeles is covering the story talking about Palin’s gaffe caught on video.

Facts are meaningless. Just look how Weiner is going to get out of his Twitter problem without a scratch while we lose a House Seat in New York because our guy took his shirt off.

The deck is stacked and our side is screwed over once again.

This is how I have been repying to the LSM. Useless I know, but some lowlevel staffer will perhaps read.

The joke is on you LSM, but you always get the lie out first, hard and fast, then when the truth comes out, you go silent, and on to your next lie about Sarah Palin. (does “Tea Party like it’s 1773” ring a bell?)

Paul Revere rode out to warn outlying villages & etc, where the people there “rang bells and fired shots” to awaken others to warn the British were coming.

When Paul Revere was captured by British scouts before he got to Concord, he did tell them that the people knew they were coming, and where arms and ammunition were at. As other messengers had warned the people of Concord, they knew the British were coming and were already moving the arms, ammunition, and other supplies.

You in the LSM claim you are the smartest people in the room, on all things, perhaps you might want to check historical facts, you know, it’s called research.

Revere recounts in a 1789 letter maintained by the Massachusetts Historical Society.

(page 4)

“I observed a Wood at a Small distance, & made for that. When I got there, out Started Six officers, on Horse back,and orderd me to dismount;-one of them, who appeared to have the command, examined me, where I came from,& what my Name Was? I told him. it was Revere, he asked if it was Paul? I told him yes He asked me if I was an express? I answered in the afirmative. He demanded what time I left Boston? I told him; and aded, that their troops had catched aground in passing the River, and that There would be five hundred Americans there in a short time, for I had alarmed the Country all the way up. He imediately rode towards those who stoppd us, when all five of them came down upon a full gallop; one of them, whom I afterwards found to be Major Mitchel, of the 5th Regiment, Clapped his pistol to my head, called me by name, & told me he was going to ask me some questions, & if I did not give him true answers, he would blow my brains out. He then asked me similar questions to those above. He then orderd me to mount my Horse, after searching me for arms.He then orderd them to advance, & to lead me in front. When we got to the Road, they
turned down towards Lexington. When we had got about one Mile, the Major Rode up to the officer that was leading me, & told him to give me to the Sergeant. As soon as he took me, the Major orderd him, if I attempted to run, or any body insulted them, to blow my brains out. We rode till we got near Lexington Meeting-house, when the Militia fired a Voley of Guns, which appeared to alarm them very much.”

Additionally, as the Paul Revere Heritage Project notes.

“The Redcoats had set temporary roadblocks as a security measure and on their way to Concord they encountered British soldiers. Prescott managed to escape; Revere was captured and Dawes tried to run away but was arrested shortly thereafter. The British held Revere and interrogated him with a pistol on his chest. He was asked about the plans of the militia and where they kept their ammunition. When asked where the Patriots were hiding he told them the truth and replied that they had 500 militiamen in Concord protecting them and 1500 coming. As they rode towards Concord he was told that if he tried to escape he would be shot.”

So folks, how’s that hopey changey thingy working out for ya in Obamaville?
