Sarah Palin insisted Sunday that history was on her side when she claimed that Paul Revere's famous 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."

Palin, who again said she has not decided whether to run for president, was asked about the Revolutionary War hero during a stop Thursday in Boston on her East Coast bus tour.

"He who warned the British that they weren't gonna be takin' away our arms by ringing those bells, and 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."

Palin's brush with the nation's history came toward the end of her "One Nation" bus tour that generated intense interest as she traveled from Washington to New England. Along the way, she steadfastly refused "a million times" to say whether she was running for president.

What is this comment doing in this thread? It is completely off topic, and it is just weird. I know you hate Obama, but you could start a thread to discuss that... they are free to start, yanno.

Which is what she wanted all along.

Well I am sure she didn't "really mean" what she said in that back paddle in front of Chris "I ought to be fucking ashamed of myself" Wallace, who does a PALE immitation of his old man.
   It's really clear in the video Sarah was completely fucking lost and for several seconds didn't fucking remember what Paul Revere did in the first place. The look on her face and the stammering is crystal clear. Face it, Sarah Palin is the Norm Crosby of politics.

My mom cherished a revere bowl that dated to 1794. My sister's got it on her mantle now.
Oh, and your nerdy side is cute... but then you know that already
