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

Looks like she got it right, because that's what happened when, on part of his ride, he was detained by a British detachment and at that time, he warned them against attempting to disarm the militia. Shall I post his letter, again?

So being detained by the British, that was part of the plan eh?
 
Dude, this is not a conspiracy or anything. People aren't out to get Palin. She does this herself. At some point she should at least learn to control what she says. On some front, it's almost like watching a train wreck, and no one looks away from those.

I don't see 3-4 threads in here by Conservatives every time Joe 'the human gaffe machine' Biden ****s something up. Do you?

Make them. If they're as funny as Palin's, then we can all have a good laugh.

Now you're just making things up. No one ever said that.

Look, everybody: there's the spin.

But it's been posted, in both transcript and video form, that she in fact does say that.

No, you don't. You also don't see Biden on TV saying that he was right and everyone else was wrong. You don't see anyone, for example, saying that the wheelchair bound man he told to get up so people can see him was actually able to do so.
 
Now you're just making things up. No one ever said that.

Look, everybody: there's the spin.

Look - Palin is a polarizing figure in politics. The Bush derangement syndrome has latched onto her and now there are people who, shown fact, figures, scientific data, historical records, etc... right in front of them will STILL deny it, because it's Palin. You're not going to change their minds with fact, or logic, or anything else. Just move on.

Show us where she says, "getting stopped by the British was part of the plan". :lamo in advance

I don't know man. It's not this group of people going around trying to attack her character. She brings these doubts out in others herself. Time and time again. Sorry, but you want to talk about ignoring fact, figures, and data it's kinda hard to believe how genuine people are if they're at the same time going to deny the clear words spoken which brought the criticism in the first place.

I'm not trying to change their minds, brother. I'm just giving them all the slack they need to hang themselves with.

Palin, a paid Fox News contributor, told "Fox News Sunday" that she was correct. She says there were British soldiers in the area for years before Revere's legendary ride, and that he was warning them, as well as his fellow colonists.

"Part of his ride was to warn the British that were already there that 'hey, you're not going to take American arms, you are not going to beat our own well-armed persons individual private militia that we have.'"

She blamed her previous answer on the media, saying it was a "gotcha question." [/i]

Sarah Palin On Paul Revere Ride: I Didn't Get History Wrong (VIDEO)
 
This is an exact transcription of what she said:

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



This video leaves off the bold bit, but she did say it.

They'll never hang themselves... they're in denial. Polarized denial. It's clinical... Just like you can't convince the guy who's in the mental institution he's NOT Julius Ceasar. Even when you prove it to him he still won't believe you.

It's an ironic statement to make. When if fact her words are out there for all to see. She is not 100% correct in her statement, as it was not an intended purpose of Revere's mission to warn the British. I don't know, it's there to see. You can pretend it's not, but it doesn't change reality. More so than her slip up; I find fascinating the blind and rabid defense in the face of measured reality.

I hate it for ya, but even with a poor delivery, she nailed it.

Let's break it down:

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

During his ride, he was detained by a British detachment and he did, in fact, warn them against trying to tangle with the colonist militia.

uh, by ringing those bells and, and um, making sure as he’s riding his horse through town to send those warning shots and bells that we were going to be secure and we were going to be free and we were going to be armed."

He was reminding the locals to ring the church bells and fire rifle shots in the air, as part of the predesignated warnings. Bells were ringing and warning shots were being fired all over the countryside by this time.

I don't know why ya'll sre having such a problem, here. Partisan hackery, perhaps?

BTW, Ikari, you may notice that her actual words don't exactly match what you've been posting as, her actual words. :lamo
 
I don't understand why some people insist on attempting to refudiate that Palin was wrong.

LOL... I remember how she compared herself to Shakespeare, "because he made up words too," but she didn't mention that Snoop Dog and Flava Flav make up words too.
 
A "gotcha" question? What was the question that she was asked that was so difficult for her to answer?
 
They'll never hang themselves... they're in denial. Polarized denial. It's clinical... Just like you can't convince the guy who's in the mental institution he's NOT Julius Ceasar. Even when you prove it to him he still won't believe you.

Yeah, but there are few out there that are worth saving and it's or duty as Americans to stand in the gap, for them.

What she was going to take away from her visit. I **** you not.
 
She was proven right with primary source documentation, in the form of a letter written by Paul Revere, himself. Sorry, but that's a black jack, in this card game.

She isn't 100% right.... The only way you can make it seem like she is, is if she slice and dice her quotes and ignore it all as a whole. she was lost. She was wrong, and she's a human. Some humans freeze up and don't say the brightest things under pressure. It doesn't ALWAYS mean the person is stupid.

So the arguments for the past 20 some pages is because she's 99% right instead of 100%. Yes, that's a mental affliction... and the loudest most persistent voices are the most afflicted. Show me where anyone's statement is 100% correct per interpretation... not possible.

Looks like she learned alot during her visit.

I bet you think that Hirohito was on the deck of the Missouri and signed the surrender. Huh?
 
That's the most hillarious post on this thread, so far. I bet you don't even realize your error.

And, you want to accuse an actual historian of spinning the truth?

If I make an error, I'll admit, unlike Palin... I didn't say anything historically inaccurate unless you're trying to say that "ringing bells" meant colonial door bells. I said earlier what his mission was, it wasn't to tell people to hide their fire arms.

You blew the whole Bissell thing to hell-n-gone. The sad part is, you don't even kow why. And, who said that anyone said to hide their arms? Is this more fabrication being added to Palin's comment?

She wasn't talking about him being interrogated by the British. Do you want us to post the quote again... and again.... and again?
