Try looking at facts and putting your PDS aside.
Revere was stopped by British officers at gunpoint. He warned them that the Colonists were massed and ready to dissuade them from a quick attack.
Palin’s statement is right on the nailhead in that regard.
That was an accidental event that happened on his ride. It was never his *intention* to get stopped by the British officers. It was not the reason or purpose that he rode. The reason he rode was to warn the Colonial revolutionaries, chiefly Hancock and Adams, and then to warn the residents of Concord of the approaching British regiment. He NEVER road with the intention of warning the British!
I understand that you love Sarah. But that doesn’t mean you need to rewrite history to defend her. She is allowed to be wrong about something that she learned in grade school. You sound like “My Palin, right or wrong.” When Bachmann, or anybody else, including myself id wrong on history, I’ll say it. But I am not wrong on this. Palin is.
By the way, to charge everyone who disagrees with Sarah Palin, or finds her facts in error, to be suffering from PDS is incredibly short-sighted on your part. You are turning off potential supporters by insisting that her backers accept everything she does, all her statements and actions, or be labeled crazy.
Sorry, that sounds like zealotry, rather than a thoughtfully considered advocacy.
