Default Palin continues to rewrite history

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

WASHINGTON (AP/The Huffington Post) -- Sarah Palin says she didn't mess
up her history on Paul Revere.

The potential 2012 presidential candidate was in Boston on Thursday as
part of her bus tour when she was asked about the Revolutionary War hero.

Palin said Revere "warned the British that they weren't gonna be takin'
away our arms."

Palin, a paid Fox News contributor, told "Fox News Sunday" that she was
correct. She says there were British soldiers in the area for years
before Revere's legendary ride, and that he was warning them, as well as
his fellow colonists.

"Part of his ride was to warn the British that were already there that
'hey, 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 blamed her previous answer on the media, saying it was a "gotcha
question."

The Paul Revere House's website says that on April 18, 1775, Dr. Joseph
Warren instructed Revere to ride to Lexington, Mass., to warn Samuel
Adams and John Hancock that British troops were marching to arrest them.

Palin has no shame...what an ignorant ass she is.

It scares the 'ell out of me that there are Americans who would vote
for her in a Presidential election.
I think Canada better beef up it's border security.
