You realize that you messed up about Paul Revere, don’t you? <p>PALIN: 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 got to make sure that, uh, we were protecting ourselves and, uhm, shoring up all of our ammunitions and our firearms so that they couldn’t take them.</p> <p>But remember that the British had already been there — many soldiers — for seven years in that area. <b>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 were already there that, “Hey. You’re not going to succeed. You’re not going to take American arms.</b> You are not gonna beat our own well-armed, uh, persons, uh, individual private militia that we have. He did warn the British.</p> <p>And in a shout-out, gotcha type of question that was asked of me, I answered candidly. And I know my American history.</p> </blockquote> <p>Uh.. yeah...Wow.<br /></p> rss@dailykos.com (Frank Vyan Walton) AmericanDisinformation Fox News FoxNews PaulRevere Recommended Sarah Palin SarahPalin _982300 Sun, 05 Jun 2011 17:25:41 +0000
