Sarah Palin Visits Boston, Paul Revere Rolls in Grave
by Free Britney at .Sarah Palin may need to bone up on American history.
The professional celebrity and potential 2012 presidential hopeful stopped by Boston, Mass., on her East Coast bus trip, and there, in the cradle of the Revolutionary War, discussed one of its most notable figures with some locals.
With her unique, folksy charm, Palin said that on Paul Revere's famous ride, he "warned the British that they weren't gonna be takin' away our arms."
Revere, of course, warned the colonists, not their British occupiers. But Palin told Fox News Sunday that she was in fact correct, as there were British soldiers in the area for years before Revere's legendary ride.
He was warning them, as well as his fellow colonists, Sarah Palin says:
"Part of his ride was to warn the British that were already there that 'hey, you're not going to take American arms, you're not going to beat our own well-armed persons individual private militia that we have.'"
She blamed her first answer on the "gotcha" media. Obviously.
UPDATE: You almost have to admire the dedication of Palin’s fans ... and you most definitely have to take what you read on Wikipedia with a grain of salt.
They’re apparently trying to edit Paul Revere's Wikipedia page to make it match her botched version of history. Pretty funny/scary stuff right there.

Sara Palin was correct in that Revere ended up warning the British after he was captured. She is very much like Patrick Henry, the first head of state elected by the people under a constitution in the history mankind. At the time Virginia was the largest state extending all the was to the Mississippi. Patrick was the greatest orator of his time and lover of freedom.
And to think I served my country in the Military so someone like her has the freedom to open her mouth and spout fantasy.....It really makes me hang my head in shame.
Didn't he ride through town naked, shouting "The Yiddish Are Coming, The Yiddish Are Coming?!" No wait, that was Anthony Wiener...and his wife is DIGGING his grave.
Eva: You need to get YOUR facts straight before pounding down Brian Williams and others. The FIRST story on the entire newscast was Weiner and his humiliation. The Palin story was a few seconds in the middle of the broadcast. I'm a conservative and can't stand the fact that Sarah Palin is a leading voice for us. Really, this is the best we can do?
The liberal media shows it's typical liberal bias by smearing Governer Palin as usual. That is why far more people watch the news on Fox. For your infromation, no one can say for sure that Paul Revere didnt ring a bell, and he DID warn the British because theyu would of heard him just like the Americans did. They so scaired of Palin because they know she would easily defeat the porch monkey in the White House.
