WASHINGTON (AP) — Sarah Palin says she didn't mess up her history on Paul Revere.

If you’re so bright why are you double-posting?
Sarah gave a great performance on Fox today. Maybe you missed it. My favorite moment was when she gave an evil little grin about upstaging Romney. She’s as dumb as a fox.
LOL!!
Hirohito signed surrender to MacArthur?!
Hysterically funny video.
We watched her interview and thought she was great, when they named the panel, we turned the TV off. Just knew in advance they would all pounce on her!
Everyone, press included, remember the poem, not the history. If you go back and research the history, Palin was closer to the truth than the media.
Yeah. And what was the media's response?
(WAV file; crickets chirping)
Note: Not an actual WAV file of crickets chirping. I don't know how to post a WAV file.
And maybe you need to think about how great great great great grandpa would feel about someone like her that clearly loves everything this country stands for. When you come right down to it, Neither of us have met him, so i bet i know his thinking as well as you do. And i think he would not be rolling in his grave at all.
He would be rolling at what the republidems and an islamic communist have done. He would be praying for Sarah to take over. And he would have preferred her at his side that night with a rifle more than any other candidate.
Everyone, press included, remembers the poem, not the history. If you go back and research the history, Palin was closer to the truth than the media. So if it sounded dumb to you, perhaps you should research the history and not rely on poems.
Not ONE WORD is breathed of this in the State Run Media.
You, the history teacher? And you think Bachmann, who did botch her history, is smarter than Palin?
There are trolls amongst us on this thread
Actually I hold fleeting hope that an undiscovered “Ronald Reagan” will come to our rescue. Absolutely none of the GOP candidates are worth a damn.
Excerpt from..... Paul Revere - His Ride & Associations with Freemasonry
Revere confronted 2 British regulars manning a road block as he headed north across Charlestown Neck. As he turned around, the regulars gave chase and he eluded them. He then continued on to Lexington, to the home of Jonas Clarke where Sam Adams and John Hancock were staying. There, his primary mission was fulfilled when he notified Adams and Hancock that "The Regulars are coming out!" (he never exclaimed, "The British are coming". This would have made no sense at the time since they considered themselves British).
Revere and Dawes then headed for Concord and came across Doctor Prescott who then joined them. They decided to alarm every house along the way.
Just outside of the town of Lincoln, they were confronted by 4 Regulars at another road block. They tried unsuccessfully to run their horses through them. Prescott, who was familiar with the terrain, jumped a stone wall and escaped. Revere and Dawes tried to escape and shortly into the chase they were confronted by 6 more regulars on horseback. Revere was surrounded and taken prisoner. Dawes got away as they were taking Revere into custody. The British officers began to interrogate Revere, whereupon Revere astonished his captors by telling them more than they even knew about their own mission. (HA!) He also told them that he had been warning the countryside of the British plan and that their lives were at risk if they remained in the vicinity of Lexington because there would soon be 500 men there ready to fight.
Revere, of course, was bluffing.

The only thing Palin got wrong was she didn't point out that Revere was bluffing.

I should probably burn this video to a DVD before it's scrubbed from YouTube.
The only way to defend the Hirohito monument,, is to say that in the larger sense, that the totality of the event was Hirohito surrendering (via a representative).
And by that standard,, Revere’s ride, and the resistance that night, all combined to indeed let the English know that they could not take our weapons.
It’s nice to write to someone who also gets Sarah’s beauty. I do think she had a stylist today - her hair was perfect, the makeup perfect and the lighting was amazing. I’m hoping one day she will whip off her glasses and the world will say: Why, Mrs. Palin! We had no idea you were so pretty!
The necklace was incredible. Another bonus point: she has really excellent taste in what looks good on her. Never puts a foot wrong. Can you imagine what she’d do if she had Michelle Obama’s budget?!
:)
You KNEW I had to be DIFFERENT.
