Sounds like a gotcha question to mePeople still take Palin seriously?
If there's one person you shouldn't be taking lessons in American history from, it's Palin. She's so patriotic she couldn't even name a single founding father.
Yeah, I've heard the right-wing talk show hosts talking about this documentary. "Undefeated" - too bad McCain got in her way.She also has a new movie coming out!
The left must really fear Palin.
That's the problem with Wikipedia. Anything on Wikipedia has to be viewed with scepticism and verified elsewhere.
I look to Wikipedia for interesting to know stuff, but never use it as a source.
Meanwhile Palin herself defiantly asserts that her version of the ride of one of America's original tea-partiers is correct rather than to own up to the flub. I didn't mess up, Palin said. I answered candidly and I know my American history ... Part of his ride was to warn the British that were already there.
I always look at the sources at the bottom of the page, and I take Wikipedia with a grain of salt especially when it comes to controversial subjects.
From the Alaska newspaper linked in the first post:
Okay, that's not the version that I heard in American history classIf Palin has any evidence to back up her claim then I would like to see it.
Har har. Sorry to say, Sarah Palin gets the last laugh. Paul Revere *DID* ride out to warn the British. Not only that, but Paul Revere never did say, "The British are coming". Pure wives' tale. What do you think the colonists all were? Hello, like, BRITISH?!?? "The British are coming" makes no sense. They were all British. What he said was, "The Regulars are out." And he was captured along the Concord Trail, where he warned the regulars as well what was going to happen. What happened as a result? He got released. They realized they had much more pressing matters to attend to.
Beauty Queen: right. Media: wrong. Now, face the camera and admit to America: you are not smarter than a 5th grader.

That wasn't what he was out for. He got caught, yes, but he wasn't out to warn the British. He was out to alert the minutemen.
Thanks Dale... takes me back to Stephen Colbert's definition of Wikiality (Wikiality - Wikiality, the Truthiness Encyclopedia)
What's more impressive is that you can quote what I said without reading it. He wasn't out to warn the British? What do you think the minutemen were? Martians?
I'm not back-applying anything. Name one party in the whole Lexington incident who was not a British subject. Do tell. Paul Revere warned the British. Simple as that.
The REAL point is, Palin is NOT wrong. You are.
