Sarah Palin On Paul Revere Ride: I Didn't Get History Wrong (VIDEO)

This woman is ridiculous. Is EVERY question a "gotcha" question with this woman?

Didn't Palin attend community college? Might explain some of her ignorance of history.

"Screaming the "British are coming" at the top of your lungs when up to 20 percent of the population are loyal to the crown is a good way to get busted. He did quietly warn other men, but whispering your warning is a lot slower than shouting it from horseback. To get the drop on the British, they need an estimated 40 people to take part in "Revere's" ride. The only two other names we know are William Dawes and Samuel Prescott, and the latter only took part because they ran into him "returning from a lady friend's house at the awkward hour of 1 a.m."

Another thing that slows you down when warning of a potential invasion is stopping, and having a beer. Yep, the three men took a break from starting America by stopping at a pub, where some British sentries decided to investigate these patriotic ne'er-do-wells. Dawes and Prescott led the sentries on two exciting chases through the woods, both managing to evade capture and reach the towns they were supposed to warn. Revere? Well, he gave up without a fight at the pub. Of the 40 people involved in the operation, we know about three, and Revere was the least heroic of the group. But because his name is easier to rhyme, we celebrate his achievements instead of the guys who actually completed their rides."

I hate that "gotcha and YOU betcha stuff. I think she is illiterate and needs a little more college educating.

Okay, so now we heard what sarah Palin said, how about asking Pres. Obama his side of the story?
I say lets ask jack webb (dragnet)" just the facts".....well I guess we really aren't sure since none of us was there, so any story could be true or false. So there is no right and wrong answers, so I say Sarh Palin is correct. LOL

Sarah P. is a nice lady. She is pretty. She smiles a lot and she knows how to hunt. I like her.

This shows how little Sarah Palin thinks of our intelligence.
If she were smarter, I'd be insulted.

American People Know that lamestrean stream media want to destroy Our LEADER and Next USA President, Sarah Pal!n, because She is The Only LEADER who can BEAT Obama Next Year to BECOME President of USA in 2013....But Lamesstream media Do NOT Know that Sarah Pal!n gets stronger with each attack from them to her ....

Palin's supporters are so gullible. When asked to extempoaneously explain what she learned and would take away from her visit, she went into one of her nervous, rambling monologues. It was no different than a college kid writing a long, wordy paper and basically rewording the same theme in a number of different variations, hoping the Professor will be impressed with the length...which of course, they never are. I remember when college classmates, who hadn't read the assigned material, were called upon by the Professor. A few admitted they hadn't read the material, but most would try to nervously "wing it". The Professors (along with fellow classmates) always knew it

Sunday, when told by Chris Wallace that her "Paul Revere" comment was botched, Palin was obviously more confident and ready to defend her earlier blunder. Palin obviously consulted someone to come-up with a scenario where her earler explanation might be construed as plausible. And of course, her core followers (not being particularly educated) "bought it" and feel she has been vindicated.

Knowing that Palin, as part of a speaking engagement contract, demands to be supplied with all questions prior to her "spontaneous" Q & A sessions, this latest episode should be no surprise. It's vintage Sarah Palin. As long as her ardent supporters are satisfied, she's fine. They're the ones responsible for her continued fame and accumulation of wealth. Like Beck, Palin relies on the ignorance of her supporters.

Lots of dumb out there in the United States of Jesus. Sister Sarah has cashed in with her dog whistle.

I would vote for Palin simply because the rabid nitwits oppose her.

I want to see Bechmann's and Palin's birth certificates. Nobody could know as little as they know about America and still be US citizens.
