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

Bodhisattva said:
Essentially. So she did not get it right then. The part that people are focusing on, she got wrong. The rest is right though... and what is even more bizarre is how you equate being right or wrong with being liberal or conservative.

Because those people whould say Palin got it wrong, if she said that the sun rises in the east. She related the history in a manner that would require people to actually know what she was talking about, to begin with. Obivously, it was doing mach 7 over some peoples's heads.

Fascinating...

For your information, blinders are for people that don't see the truth. From where I am sitting, you are just as blinded as the "liberals" that you keep attacking, though less than apstd, perhaps.

That's your average Libbo and all CINO's.

You know, I just might change my position on Palin.

If she is persuasive enough to get her followers to revise history in order to make it line up with something she has said, she should be able to convince Congress of just about anything, maybe even the need for a balanced budget. She might even be able to convince the nutters in the Middle East to stop fighting. How she has such power I can't say, but if she can be manipulated into using them for good, she could accomplish miracles. Now, if we can get her to surround herself with sane, logical, and practical people, just imagine what could result!

You're trying to revise history to prove her wrong.

"He who warned uh, the British that they weren't gonna be takin' away our arms, uh by ringing those bells, and um, makin' sure as he's riding his horse through town to send those warning shots and bells that we were going to be sure and we were going to be free, and we were going to be armed."

Even if something resembling a fact appears in there, the slaughter of the English language is enough to make any sane person question her.

Further, if she was "right", why did she bitch about yet another "gotcha" questions - which in her terms apparently means any sentence ending with a question mark.

That's exactly what he did. Why do you continue to trip out about it?

It was a small part of what happened, but it was not his intention of the ride at all. He didn't ring any bells at his captors nor did he fire warning shots at them.

If I say, "The aliens came down from the blue sky to shoot President Kennedy," just because the sky is blue doesn't make the rest of my statement correct.
 
:shrug: I don't know why we bother. For those who Must Believe, they must believe.

This is gonna go right next to "I can see Russia from my house." in the lexicon of "why, like, sarah palin, like, is sooooo tottally, like, dumb, and stuff!"

He wasn't warning the British.
He didn't ring any bells.
He didn't fire any warning shots.
As a side note, she talks like a hick. Is she tool important to finish a word and can she talk without saying uh and um?
 
Misterveritis said:
I had not given her any thought before this. Now I bought her book and will read it in the next few days. I love her conservatism. So what if she does not tell the story very well? That is essentially unimportant. She can lead this nation back from the extreme danger the last two presidents (neither one conservative) have put us in.

Unfortunately for you, that's exactly what she said ... I quoted her verbatim:
"He who warned the British that they weren't going to be taking away our arms by ringing those bells" ~ Sarah "The Quitter" Palin
​
Still waiting for you to show how Paul Revere warned the British by ringing bells?

And still waiting for you to answer, do you think Obama doesn't know what year it is or do you think he had a brain fart when he wrote 2008?

She said that she has foreign policy experience because she was the Governor of Alaska and talked to Russia about "trade". If she was infact doing that, she is in violation of the constitution, which explicitly prohibits states from engaging in foreign relations with other nations.

Seems an awful lot of politicians manage to get some details wrong when it comes to the founding fathers. Thing is, to be consistent, you either have to call them all stupid for it, or admit that sometimes people do make mistakes.

Been posted MANY times here, apdst. No amount of spin is going to change the fact that she misspoke.

Nothing is going to change the fact she got the history right (ask the historians*) and the press in their Moment thinking Palin was wrong attempted yet another journ-O-listic gang-bang (without checking or knowing history), found themselves desperately prodding each other and ejaculating all over each others faces.

Meanwhile Palin was in the bus watching all this... surely laughing her ass off as the journ-O-lists did it to themselves... yet again.

*One historian quoted said she had her history correct, while another historian called it "lucky"... ROTFLOL...

No amount of spin is going to change that she got history wrong. This has been demonstrated OVER AND OVER. I find it a laugh a minute how some of you have so little objectivity that you refuse to see this. Guess that's why they call it "blind partisanship".

If someone else spoke like that but instead used slang for conservatives, you'd call it typical liberal slander and go on a long rant I'm sure about how unprofessional liberals are. Tell me why I should I listen to it when it comes from your mouth and not theirs?

I do enjoy non-fiction. So I will read her book. And I enjoy fantasy, so I have read all of the Harry Potter books. I love to read. I always have. I probably always will.
S. Palin is not a good storyteller. For good storytelling we need the one term president Obama. Have you heard his entirely fictional stories about the economy?

pretty much this.


From the referenced link...
The problem results, in part, from an unfortunate marriage of two 21st-century trends. One is the new obsession with the heroes of the American Revolution as guides in a fearful era defined by political division and deepening debt. The other is America’s continued willingness to believe things it reads on the Internet.
