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

Dittohead not! said:
Not only did she make a mistake, but then she got on TV and told the world that she was right all along.

And now, her Kool Aid imbibing followers are trying to rewrite history to say that Paul Revere actually rode through town ringing bells and firing shots to warn the British that they couldn't take our arms away.

Now, that's just amusing.

You're right... When you point out the whole picture, it is hilarious.

They really are down playing what she said... She didn't actually say he was ringing bells and firing shots. They are minimizing all of the blatant errors, and then using vague letters and facts to cover her ass for everything else, but we all know Palin wasn't referring to him being captured or the British's motives. She was obviously talking about his ride... but they'll say otherwise.
 
It's amazing. Only Palin can generate a 93 page forum debate, lol

Love her, hate her, she seems to command peoples attention.

Yes, it is. People want to run and don't run everyday.



No it's irrelevant because the thread is about Sarah Palin and not everyone else.

I will remember that the next time a liberal brings up Bush on an Obama thread

Why does it matter where the misinformation came from? It could have came from elementary school, from a documentary, etc. That doesn't matter. You're simply trying to attribute her erroneous comment to somebody else and say she isn't responsible for it, and it came out of her mouth. We have the video. She's a human, she made a mistake... Why can't you simply admit that she said something that was incorrect and move on? LOL

She had just done the museum tour. So if the information is wrong one could assume that is what the museum said. So stop blaming Palin
 
PoliticalMama said:
I am not in denial. I stand by my statements continue to disagree!



I don't see the majority of American's voting for an unqualified woman.


I think it's obvious she is going to run. LOL

And what are all of the qualifications necessary.

Then prove it. Prove a museum is as dumb as Sarah Palin and like Palin, doesn't know history.

But at least we're finally making some progress here ... at least you're finally beginning to comprehend what she said is wrong. But being the Palin cultist you are, you can't allow her to take responibility for her error.

Nope, one cannot assume the museum tour does not know the history it teaches. Now you're making **** up to protect her image of being a dolt.

How sad.

I wonder if Palin had gone to the creation museum she would have walked out saying that we all evolved from apes?
 
Ignore ptif, he has long since proved his ability to outspeak all of us by his superior stupidity

That's not the issue here really. It's the fact she kept up the same argument after pointing to a document that refuted her.

What's that joke about sticking with your lie? Here it's more sticking to your mistake. ;)

Your italicized bit is exactly what she said. Those who defend her are exhibiting the exact same immature mindset as she does: The inability to gracefully admit error.

Exactly. It would have ended this early on, and not made much difference to nearly anyone.

No... the tour guide has came out, and he is saying she was confused.

I gave them our standard talk about Paul Revere and the two men who hung the lanterns in the steeple, Robert Newman and John Pulling. I added a bit about the debate between John Hancock and Sam Adams after they received the warning from Revere (Hancock: "Staying and fighting will look good on my resume when I run for president." Adams: "You are too rich to fight. Let's get out of here." Adams ultimately won that debate.) I did mention that Revere was arrested by British troops and led back to Lexington, warning those British troops that the minutemen had been alerted.
After the introductory talk, we climbed up to the bell ringing chamber, where I talked about how Paul Revere how founded our bell ringing guild in 1750 as a teenager. Governor Palin was particularly interested to see a copy of the original bell ringing contract between Paul Revere and his friends and the rector of Old North, Dr. Cutler. The contract portrays a group of teenagers using democratic principles to organize their bell ringing guild. We did not have the time to get to the top of the steeple to see the lanterns...

I was surprised and bemused when the video of Governor Palin's impromptu history quiz went viral the next day. I knew where all the factoids she cited came from and take responsibility for putting them in her head. I will not take the blame for the odd order those factoids came out. Perhaps it was too much information in too short a period of time to digest properly. Maybe if we climbed to the top of the steeple and viewed the lanterns, the governor wouldn't have focused on the bells. Who knows?

She made a mistake... I can see that, and it sounds like you can see that. Ironically, she won't admit she made a mistake. She is claiming she's correct and got all her facts right, and there is the real problem with Palin.
