You all have a lot in common with her - none of you know much about American history. Revere did warn the British about oncoming American troops. In fact he was captured by them and interrogated for a period of time, disclosing information about troop placements and weaponry caches.
I know quite a bit about American history - just imagine what my grasp of the facts would be if I'd just finished touring Revere's home as part of a multi-week refresher course on our heritage.
Revere did not ride to alert the British.
Revere did not ring bells to alert the British.
Revere did not fire warning shots at the British during his ride.
Yes, Revere was briefly captured, gave false information to the British when interrogated at gunpoint, and then quickly escaped.
Revere's ride had nothing to do with the British taking away our arms - his main purpose was to alert Hancock and Adams that the British were coming to arrest them and along his route he also alerted others that the British militia was on its way.
People trying to "spin" or rewrite major events in our history to defend Palin's massive idiocy is appalling.
Palin couldn't get any of the major details right
immediately after hearing them presented at a level intended for school children - complete with illustrations, props, and a famous catchy poem.
No gotcha, no surprises, just her normal idiocy and incompetence.
