Sarah Palin's American History

[ModerateRepZero]

About the only thing Palin got right was that Revere rode ahead of the British to warn colonists.

-The British weren't coming to confiscate guns
-He wasn't ringing bells nor firing warning shots

On “Fox News Sunday,” the host Chris Wallace asked Ms. Palin, a paid Fox News contributor, about her Paul Revere answer, saying, “You realize that you messed up about Paul Revere, don’t you?”

She responded that no, she did not believe she was mistaken.

“You know what? I didn’t mess up about Paul Revere,” she said. “Here is what Paul Revere did. He warned the Americans that the British were coming, the British were coming, and they were going to try take our arms and we got to make sure that we were protecting ourselves and shoring up all of ammunitions and our firearms so that they couldn’t take it.

She went on: “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 courier, he was a messenger. Part of his ride was to warn the British that we’re already there. That, hey, you’re not going to succeed. 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. He did warn the British.”

Unless she was misquoted in talking to Wallace, it sounds like she was, in fact, saying the British were on a mission to confiscate weapons. 0 for 2 on Revere, Palin.

They have the video of her entire interview she had today on foxnews.com I tried to watch it but after a few seconds it stops playing. I happened to watch the interview when it was on tv today though. Now I was cleaning my house so I didn't listen too closely. But there were many times where I was thinking to myself what the hell is she talking about. I tried to find a transcript to make sure what she said was as stupid as it sounded, but no luck so far.

Quote:
Sarah Palin insisted Sunday that history was on her side when she claimed that Paul Revere's famous Massachusetts ride was intended to warn both British soldiers and his fellow colonists.

"You realize that you messed up about Paul Revere, don't you?" "Fox News Sunday" anchor Chris Wallace asked the potential 2012 presidential candidate.

"I didn't mess up about Paul Revere," replied Palin, a paid contributor to the network.

"Part of his ride was to warn the British that were already there. That, hey, you're not going to succeed. 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 added. "He did warn the British."


I have no words.

What are you talking about?

She is educating everyone. You had history all wrong, she is correcting you.

Did you learn?

Since we've gotten to know Palin the past few years there are just a few things that really resonate with the people and aptly describe the person she is.

1. She runs for president as a living.
2. She doesn't know...anything.
3. She's a quitter.

Palin really lost steam when she couldn't kill that elk tied down in that field. With every missed shot the right wings erection over her became more and more flaccid. Palin is a heinous, disgusting fraud of a human being.

I love how Palin's bus tour is doing nothing but eating up resources and money at the bill of the leftist media and Obama's reelection machine.

The free publicity is simply icing on the cake.

She might not be official candidate but in the game she is playing, she is ahead.

Wow, con men *love* you - not to mention P. T. Barnum. You filled the quota one minute.

I'll take their ability to make money hand over fist just by doing a little song and dance for the cameras.

I wouldn't. Not when it means having grown up that way.
People are shaped by their environments, and these people have lived a protected life. No learning at the school of hard knocks for them -- they get everything handed to them with a shake of their ass.

Being set up from birth for a life of ease is no compensation for having your existence be pointless. I'd rather work and be solidly useful than just be a trophy whose failings require everyone surrounding me to work harder. While those others may enjoy protecting the beauty, that is just masturbatory pleasure -- it has no enduring social value.

When all else fails, return to the myth of the "Leftist Media", whose revenue depends on Capitalist advertising. Brilliant bit of Denial.

Of course Palin's coming out ahead. She's not a politician, at all, but rather a no-talent celebrity, kinda like the Gabor sisters in their day.

It's all about the package and marketing it. Actual content matters little, and is the basis of what passes for modern "Conservative" politics.

[Fear No Evil]

Does she at least realize its not 2008? That puts her one step up on the current moron in chief.

 

[EagleKeeper]

The more you panic over Palin the better the Repubs feel.

By continually brining her up; you create more exposure and show how worried over nothing the Dems get.

Ignoring her is the best thing that you can do.

The only people in a panic are the GOP establishment.

What worries me are the number of people who buy into her bullshit.

 

[Paul98]

they have the transcript of that interview she did yesterday here
http://www.foxnews.com/on-air/fox-n...sive-sarah-palin-us-economy-national-bus-tour

WALLACE: I got to ask you real quickly about that, though. You realized that you messed up about Paul Revere, don't you?
PALIN: You know what? I didn't mess up about Paul Revere. Here is what Paul Revere did. He warned the Americans that the British were coming, the British were coming, and they were going to try take our arms and we got to make sure that we were protecting ourselves and shoring up all of ammunitions and our firearms so that they couldn't take it.
But remember that the British had already been there, many soldiers for seven years in that area.

That, hey, you're not going to succeed. 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. 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.

What panic? Where? Cite even one example. All I see is mockery, mockery of her and mockery of her drooling supporters.

Agreed. Especially the media. She's expressed her disdain at the "lamestream media" and says she doesn't want them around. They should happily comply and find something newsworthy to cover. Rumor has it the United States may actually be facing serious problems and an assortment of issues that are actually material. Instead we get 7x24 fluffery, obsessive coverage of America's Most Vapid like Hilton, Lohan, ... and Palin.

and show how worried over nothing the Dems get.

Nonsense. What worry? The Dems would be thrilled if she ran. Obama would be a shoe-in in 2012 if Palin ran against him. If anything it's intelligent Republicans who are worried that she's draining sanity from the party.

Ignoring her is the best thing that you can do.

Amen, hallelujah!

Did you read anything more than the headline of your link? If you had you might realize that to the very limited extent it has any relevance to Jhhnn's comment, it supports him. Dean's comment wasn't supportive of Palin at all. Rather, he was saying if the economy is bad enough anyone the Republicans run can beat Obama, even a no-talent celebrity like Palin. As Jhhnn said, "It's all about the package and marketing it. Actual content matters little, and is the basis of what passes for modern "Conservative" politics." Dean made a similar point.

There is nothing Sarah Palin has a step up on Obama except maybe being able to give a decent bj.

Watch for xjohnx to apologize for recklessly getting it wrong in 3... 2... 1...

Er... 3.. 2... oh, nevermind.

Perhaps, just perhaps, he's waiting for your lead.

Yes, I did read the link. Your mistake is in thinking that any of Jhhnn's comments have any relevance to me at all. Reread my post in that context and perhaps you will 'get it'. Jhhnn will tow the party line to the ends of the earth. He lives to point out the shortcomings of the party he loathes while completely ignoring the shortcomings of the party he loves.

These two parties are mirror images of each other. Neither is interested in the success of the nation and its people, instead they are fixated on 'winning'. Fixated on dominating the political climate of the nation. Both are fully capable of bringing us down. Both will blame the other party. If Obama could win, Palin can win. It's naive to think otherwise.

Jhhnn will always make me laugh because the blinders he has on allow him to only see in one direction. To top it off, he has no interest in seeing in any other. He makes only left turns and because of that, he gets nowhere.

 

[EagleKeeper]

She can be the King maker and a great fund raiser. Much better for the party than as a candidate.

The exposure that she gets helps fill the coffers and gives the talking heads on the Dem side something to shoot at. Waste their ammo.

95% of what is said here about liberals is wrong or lies, I can't remember the other 5%.

It's not very often we get that and an irony of the week finalist in one post.
