Sarah Palin: Paul Revere's Ride to Protect the Second Amendment

In reference to her comments about the Second Amendment, yes. She was on time and on target.

Perhaps you should go back and read all my posts, then comment?
You said Palin "knows more about history than...well...just about everyone on this thread."

Appears you can't back that up.

That's ok though; you see, I know that Palin ****ed up and that severly limits your options. You could a) make up some bull**** to cover for her; b) admit she ****ed up; c) refuse to acknowledge her gaffe; or d) pretend like I don't understand what she said and that what she said was correct.

Seems you're going with (c).

But that's ok. Sane folks know that Paul Revere did not ride to warn the British as she idiotically claimed.
 
Ah, now you are moving the goal posts. You just criticized me of not attacking Liberals and I have proven you wrong.

Also, how does replying to one of your posts qualify as harassment? I disagreed with Kali too, but you don't see her bitching about it. Always the victim.

Did you personally attack a Liberal poster? If so, let's see it.

Does Obama know what year it is?

I hope nobody personally attacks any one here. I am feeling lazy tonight.
 
I agree that she should have owned up to her mistake. However, I don't recall Obama owning up to his "2008" mistake either. Or else it just wasn't as big of a deal in the media as this is (which, most likely has to do with Sarah Palin's previous gaffes and the media coverage they've garnered).
True, he just let it go. At the very least, Palin should have done that, which could appear as tacit ownership of her gaffe. Instead Palin doubled down and repeated her idiocy (and even embellished on it) ...
"You know what, I didn’t mess up about Paul Revere. Here’s what Paul revere did, he warned the Americans that "the British were coming, the British were coming," and they were going to try to take our arms so we gotta make sure that ... uh ... we were protecting ourselves and ... and umm shoring up all of our ammunitions and our firearms so that they couldn’t take them, but remember that the British had already been there, many soldiers for seven years in that area and part of Paul Revere's ride, and it wasn't just one ride, he was a courrier, he was a messenger; part of his ride was to warn the British that we we're already there, that hey, you’re not going to succeed. You’re not gonna take American arms. You are not going to beat our own well armed ... uh ... persons, individual private militia that we have. He did warn the British. And in a shout out "gotcha" type of question that was asked of me I answered candidly and I know my American history." ~ Sarah Palin
 
So Obama hasn't made other mistakes? People make mistakes, it's a part of being human. I just think it's hypocritical of people to blast one person for making mistakes and not the other for purely partisan reasons. It's ridiculous.

Sure he has made mistakes but why try to compair it? Look here is the deal: Obama can run circles around Palin and Obama has done nothing to deserve being mocked.

Palin? Well this is the kind of lame that should be mocked. The ridiculous is people even trying to compair this simple person to Obama cause it is not even on the same level.

This is not being hypocritical nor is it being partisan it is calling out the dumb. She needs to woman up and admit she did not know what the hell she was talking about and call it a day but doubt that will happen.

Did I personally attack you? If so, let's see it. I didn't realize pointing out hypocrisy constituted as a personal attack. Was I lying? Do you not constantly bring up Obama's gaffes?
 
Yes. But that doesn't help Palin know that Paul Revere did not ride to warn the British. :lamo

Don't you know all her stans are gonna change History via Wiki and then Paul Revere will have done just whatever Pretty Sarah said? I mean if they change Wiki then it Must Be True:2razz::2razz:
 
And, there are plenty of Libbos on this thread that were defending O'Bama, when he didn't know what year we're in, that you don't seem to approach.

Your hypocrisy comes as no surprise.
There is a difference. Obama made some mistakes, we all make them. But on FNS Palin insisted what she said the other day was correct. You can bet Obama knows what year it is and knows there are 50 states.
 
Serisously? Are Conservatives really this stupid??

Here is the entire entry in conservapedia.com on Paul Revere where they are actually trying to rewrite history in order to make Sarah "The Quitter" Palin appear sane ...
Paul Revere (1734-1818) was a silversmith in colonial America who was very active in Boston-area revolutionary groups such as the Sons of Liberty. He is famous for riding from Boston to Lexington, Massachusetts with William Dawes on the night of April 18, 1775 to warn the minutemen that British troops led by General Thomas Gage were invading. Part of the purpose of Revere's ride was to warn the British that colonists would exercise their natural right to bear arms. Revere was captured before he could reach Concord, but managed to escape. His midnight ride was immortalized by a poem by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow.[1]
Paul Revere - Conservapedia

... you'll be amused to note that the part highlighted above was just added yesterday ...

http://www.conservapedia.com/index.php?title=Paul_Revere&diff=876012&oldid=875824

... though I suppose the highlighted text added yesterday was better than the text it replaced ...
In 2011, during a cross country tour to warn Americans against the dangers of [[liberalism]], [[Sarah Palin]] clarified the purpose of Paul Reveres' midnight ride to include warning the [[British]] that they could not take American's guns away. Although a controversial view, [[Sarah Palin]] successfully positioned herself to be viewed as a modern day [[Paul Revere]], warning the liberals in power who clearly want to take lawful guns away from Americans.
:roll:

Ummm, she was talking about Paul Revere's famous midnight ride (1775) ... it was 16 years until the Second Amendment would be ratified.

... sign. The ride was a warning to US Independence leaders that the British were planning to arrest them. Saying that this has anything to do with owning weapons is extremely far fetched and stupid.

Seems to me, as of late, several conservative poster believe that pointing out their hypocrisy is a "personal attack". It isn't. If they don't want their hypocrisy to be pointed out, it would probably be a good idea to NOT POST HYPOCRITICALLY.

Wouldnt you say thats a pretty good standard for conservative AND liberal posters? Cuz...Lord knows none of the liberal side is hypocritical when it comes to their political blinders...

Absolutely. Both sides act stupid on issues like this. What Palin said was a silly error, nothing more. I've just seen a bit more of the hypocrisy with conservative posters over the past few days between the "Obama 2008 flub" vs. "The Sarah Palin Paul Revere gaffe". Both were silly brain farts. As Obama's issue occurred first, when Palin's came up, and some conservatives got called on their hypocrisy, they got all hurt.

Like I said...my perspective its one in the same. The Obama F/U thread seems to go about the same direction with the usual cast of characters piling on both sides. Its all pretty silly.

Except...I have to say...Im not at all convinced Palin has all that great a grasp on historical perspectives and thats what keeps getting her in trouble. Worst case scenario someone should teach her to stop....THINK...THEN engage vocal chords.
 
Well, Sarah ... which one is correct ... ?

6.3.2011: "He who warned, uh, the British that they weren’t going to be taking away our arms..."

6.5.2011: "he warned the Americans that the British were coming, the British were coming, and they were going to try to take our arms..."
