Palin supporters try to change Wikipedia to fit her Revere comments

The person who put that in the Washington Times didn't read that book since the date was a year early beause it was published by Oxford University Press on April 19, 1995

You didn't read that book either because you left out SOME IMPORTANT FACTS in your feeble attempts at distortion.

"It's true that shots were fired and bells were rung, but not by Revere. According to David Hackett Fischer's 1995 book "Paul Revere's Ride," Revere rode to the house of Captain Isaac Hall, commander of Medford's minutemen, and it was Hall who triggered the town's alarm system. Fischer added (on page 140): "A townsman remembered that 'repeated gunshots, the beating of drums and the ringing of bells filled the air.' "

It was ISAAC HALL NOT PAUL REVERE

The Washington Times is run by a Cult. Ever heard of the Moonies.....If you will take the Times word on anything your next step is drinking poisoned Kool-aide.....You are pathetic....My advice is just S.T.F.U. & let the grown ups handle this.....

Well NPR says the same thing so they must be run by the moonies too.
Do libs have any logical thought patterns at all or is it total derangement?

You missed the laughter when they said it.......FOOL!!!
Please don't get the Times & NPR mixed up......

Denial!
Stupid Progressives can't take it when they're wrong which is pretty much all the time.

If you were that concerned about the intelligence of public people then you would be laughing your ass off at our current Pretender and Thief Brock Obozo and his side kick Biden who clearly are just babbling idiots who gaff constantly and have no clue what they are doing in office.

My only concern is that you seek professional help.....Pull your head out of your ass or Palin's ass and join the real world.....F%#K YOU!!!

If you are concenred with the newcomers getting accurate information then why continue the distortions and fail to admit mistakes? Historical accounts do NOT back her up on her statements!

So how does Palin's version compare with, say, Paul Revere's? Not very well. Revere, in the most complete account he gave of his famous ride, a letter written about 1798, stated that he rode to warn fellow rebels Samuel Adams and John Hancock that the British were coming to arrest them. This transcription, Revere's spelling mistakes and all, is posted on the website of the Massachusetts Historical Society:

"Paul Revere, c 1798: On Tuesday evening, the 18th, it was observed, that a number of Soldiers were marching towards the bottom of the Common. About 10 o'Clock, Dr. Warren Sent in great haste for me, and beged that I would imediately Set off for Lexington, where Messrs. Hancock & Adams were, and acquaint them of the Movement, and that it was thought they were the objets."

Revere didn't mention firing any shots or ringing any bells, and neither does the account given by the Paul Revere House in its brief history, "The Real Story of Paul Revere's Ride."

Sarah Palin's much-ridiculed story of Paul Revere isn't entirely wrong, but it's badly twisted. Revere didn't ring bells or fire shots, and he was riding to warn two fellow rebels that the British were coming to arrest them, not to warn the British "that they weren't going to be taking away our arms."

In Palin's defense, it's true that American rebels had stored arms and gunpowder at Concord, and that British Gen. Thomas Gage not only had orders to arrest the leaders, but had decided to seize and destroy those arms. Alerted by Revere, American militia members confronted the British at the battles of Lexington and Concord, the first armed encounters of the Revolutionary War.

He was still in British custody when the first shots were fired at Lexington, "which appeared to alarm them very much," Revere said. The British later released Revere, after taking the horse he had been riding. But Revere makes no mention of specifically "warning" the British against trying to seize arms. In fact, the Americans moved most of the arms before Gen. Gage's troops could find them.

You are SO full of SHIT!!!

You know Johnny you just made me think of a Monty Python skit, if we hold a twit of the year contest who would win? Palin, Bachmann, Bush Sr., Bush Jr., Terry Jones, or ?????

Sorry, her past comments on anything. Her avoidance of any substantive questions and absolutely nothing in the way of a vision of this country tells me there is nothing there. Sure, she's not bad looking, but she should really be a blond.

She is just one of millions of patriots who want to return this country to an "Of the people, By the people and For the people" Place to live.

If that is the case then she should focus on letting people see that side of her and not the side of her that is ignorant of historical facts.

my god you're a piece of troll work montesooma
go man van go
we need some drugged text around here to balance the sanity...

Her puppet strings are being pulled by people that are NOT doing it for the people. They are people that are doing "it" to the people. By "IT" I mean FUCKING.So You can Wave your flag, attach tea bags to your John Deere gimme cap and jerk off to the picture on her "BOOK" while thinking about a world with only white Christians. That's freedom. But Do not be fooled by the fascists bankrolling the cute chick in the red outfit. For she is a clueless patsy.

i talk ex co-worker of mine, who is a historian, she even told me that sarah palin doesn't know what the hell she is talking about. (LOL)

Ahem: FYI...
~ That (Palin) the Republican non-candidate, in fact, knew more about the actual facts of Revere's midnight ride than all those idiots unknowingly revealing their own ignorance by laughing at her faux faux pas? How secretly embarrassing this must be, to be forced to face that you're dumber than the reputed dummy.

As it happens, though, such phenomena are regular occurrences in American politics, reminding consumers of news to be wary when some fresh story seems to fit contemporary assumptions so absolutely perfectly.

The well-known fable is Revere's late-night ride to warn fellow revolutionaries that the British were coming.
~ Less known, obviously, is the rest of the evening's events in which Revere was captured by said redcoats and did indeed defiantly warn them of the awakened militia awaiting their arrival ahead and of the American Revolution's inevitable victory.

Palin knew this. The on-scene reporters did not and ran off like Revere to alert the world to Palin's latest mis-speak - - which it wasn't.
~ Like a number of famous faux gaffes in American politics, the facts of the situation no longer really matter.

The initial impression was eagerly grabbed by so many, starting with the reporter and millions of others gleefully sharing the story that reinforced their beliefs and/or desires.

for a guy who claims to be so anti-Christianity, you sure do invoke the name of Jesus a lot...and with all capitals...oh my

Maybe Jesus has your comments under review too

and has decided to put you on an extended fast...

what? that's not a correlation?

ROFL....luv the "I think"

So Revere told the British Soldiers where the Minutemen were?

This is just excellent!!!

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

I might consider a name change if my name was synonymous with explosive stools. As it is, my name is just a little fluffy white animal. ; )

I did not know that diaherra was a bad word (LOL)

Why accuse me of flagging you?
What you do think i am one of them sissy childlike progressives who can only think in groups?
If i flagged you than why are my comments the ones under review while you keep on acting silly and calling me diarreah boy?

Well at least we agree on that much!
My screen name is not montezuma but montesooma which is a play on my real name and has nothing to do with revenge.

Maybe they are laughing about his thinking there are 57 states.
What an idiot that guy is.

Spoken like a true paid "TROLL"......How much are you getting paid monte....He has to be getting a salary and fed his lines....No sane person on this site belives any of the shit he say's......The asshole is dumb as hell if he thinks for one minute that he can get anyone to like the half term Mayor/Gov.....

I would love to place bets on which Ivy League School will be the first to give her an honorary doctorate.

ha hah ah hah ah ha h ah ah hah ha ha
dood
THAT would be the picture in the dictionary for: hilarious

I think it was the university of idaho.

oral roberts and liberty universities (LOL)

agree!!!

I think she is more likely a candidate for one of Velvet Jones's coorespondence courses.

Yeah, she could learn some oral at ORU.

I thought she already had that. I figured since everyone was so interested in following she and her family around and asking her opinion on everything under the sun and giving her tons of space in the papers and time on the air that it wouldn't be long before some real university hands her an honorary doctorate.

Then she is like the average American. Highest graduation rates in the country Fairfax Co, VA and Montgomery Co, MD. The majority of those grads who do go to college, go to the community college in their respective counties. Of those, more than 60% in each community college system are taking more than one remedial course and that 84% are taking either remedial math or remedial English.

Looks like its been pulled down.

a better meaning haha!!!!!!

This was photoshoped......This photo was all over the net when was running with McCain......She prays every night she wakes up with a rack like that....

three by a horses' ass (LOL)

For sure you are underestimating her because of how she speaks.
And she is right about Revere telling the british officers that he had warned many people and that they would not be taking guns.
This is the same message we are telling the current regime.

No one is underestimating Sarah Palin, "because" of how she speaks.

We have accepted the fact that she is probably suffering from an undiagnosed form of schizophrenia. We are amazed that she hasn't been Baker Acted and that a 7:30 exam has not been held for her benefit.

Now before you shout me down, please allow me to share with you some of the signs of schizophrenia.

1.Schizophrenia is a mental disorder characterized by a disintegration of thought processes and of emotional responsiveness. It most commonly manifests as auditory hallucinations, paranoid or bizarre delusions, or disorganized speech and thinking, and it is accompanied by significant social or occupational dysfunction.

2. Palin...and even her counterpart Michelle Bachmann has repeatedly admitted to hearing voices that encourage them to "DO" things.

3. If there was ever a greater example of disorganized speech and thinking observed in another human being...please reference it for me.

We are not underestimating her. We...those of us with normal, mental faculties...recognize quite clearly that she is mentally ill. We don't underestimate it. We recognize that she is in full-blown schizophrenia.

What is sad,...(and this speaks to this country's state of affairs in treating the mentally ill)...what is sad; is the fact that no one has acted; not only in Sarah Palin's best interest...but the best interest of society at large, and have not 5150'd Ms. Palin in to receiving care and making it compulsory and removing from Palin's decision to be treated for an obvious mental disorder as "optional."

Schizophrenia is a manageable disease, and while it is not curable, it can managed with medication so she can have the opportunity to live at least a semi-normal life. It is highly unfair to have have the public suffer along with her. It is not an empathetic or a sympathetic act to allow this woman to suffer so greatly and is cruel and unusual punishment to not have here receive the mental help she so desperately needs.

We as the American public are suffering Sarah Palin in-spite of the fact that there is treatment available. And that is tragic all around!

Paul Revere never said anything to the British about them taking our guns, NEVER. You're making it up and so is she. Paul Revere did not ride to warn the British, as she said. He rode to alert the colonists. Yes, Paul Revere did run into a contingent of soldiers at them end of his ride and he told them about the militia organizing, but he did NOT engage in some kind of trash talking about how they we not going to take our guns. It is manifestly not true. And I stand by my original point:
Anything she said that was actually correct, was correct by random chance and surrounded by so much wrong.

That IDIOT had no idea WTF she was saying.....bla bla bla bla guns bla bla constitution bla bla warn the British bla bla...you bet cha bla bla bla don't take our guns yadda yadda yadda bing bang.......

HA HA HA HA HA HA.....You said diarerrhea......HA HA HA HA

That was a complete waste of time on your part.

There you go...
At least your considering the subject instead of just sitting around writing Palin is stupit na nana na na na
Your fellow libs have shits for brains and are like little kids.
There is a matter of debate among historians about this and some do believe that Revere told the British Officers that he had warned citizenry for 500 miles and that they would never be able to surprise them because there are bells in every church and they were in for a fight.
This is not the kind of thing that most people know or would just spout off - clearly she had been told it on her visit or read it.

This was all in response to the question " what will take away from this visit?" - A benign question that hardly seems to justify the hysterical reaction from libs who hang on her every word even though they claim they can't listen to her.

Libs are far more amuzing in they're reaction to anything they deem as a threat to their socialist utopia than the casual words of Sarah Palin.

No shit. LOL

Who said anything about voting for her - she is not even running for an office.
This reveals something about you - you FEAR her.

he misspell montezuma(LOL)

amen to that vanessafromdc!!!!

Yeah...after I posted it...I realized that Sarah Palin may have a mental illness to explain herself...however, you're just plain stupid and there isn't a pill to help you.

So you're like a broke clock...this is your shining moment, this is the time you were correct.

Just learning from the master. ; )

He might get some help with some good Train wreck, or White widow. Na, maybe not.

Yay us. LOL

*clarity...

This was for a short period. The page is back up, and viewable.

Sorry for any confusion there.

We were reminded of that by those "yes we can" rallies

I saw it too! Great!

Cool! :)

Truly deplorable - "Idiocracy" is not just fiction anymore; it's arrived already.

{shaking head}

I read "1984" when I was 13 and thought, "This is scary but it can't happen here". I'll bet Big Brother is watching me now.

Tell me about it!

I think a lobotomy only works if their is brain matter to remove.

I don't think she is "fixable"

Sometimes things are broken to such a point is just best to throw them away.

Sometimes your kids toys can be recycled...sometimes the toy is just played out.

Anne Coulter is a played out toy. It can't be fixed at the doll hospital.
