I can't believe people are still arguing this. :doh
I don't know whether to admire or pity apdst for sticking to his version of what happened even in the face of the evidence presented to him repeatedly. It must be a pride thing.
Regardless, this whole thing is a non-issue. She flubbed the story of Paul Revere. Lets all move on. Sarah Palin is a human being and human beings **** up sometimes. Just because she ****ed up in this particular instance doesn't mean that she's not smart or that the people who point it out somehow hate her.
I find it ironic that some of the people here get just as outraged when Obama flubs up and they turn it into a huge issue. The problem here is that it could have ended if Sarah Palin had just admitted on Fox News that she ****ed up when she was asked about it. However, she chose to claim that she didn't make any mistake at all, and now it keeps going. It would be like Obama claiming that he didn't make a mistake with the 2008 date thing and that this isn't actually 2011.
Please, for the love of god can we move on?
So in the face of overwhelming evidence, you're so hung up on defending Sarah, that you're going to argue with a fence post? Got it.
Yeah, I thought that was hilarious. How exactly was that a "gotcha question"?
Show us your evidence! Make sure you include the historical docs to go along with it.
Does she claim that a lot? I'm not sure. I don't know if she claimed something similar for the "what newspapers do you read" and other classic Palin moments.
Already done through out the thread. She claimed it was part of his ride, it clearly was not part of his ride to warn the British; rather what he said to them was reactionary after he was captured. Less you wish to dispute that. In which case, include the historical docs which show that it was the intended purpose of Revere's ride to warn the British.
Ok, well, point it out to me, because I've yet to see anyone prove her wrong.
How would you know? You don't even know what she said!Ok, well, point it out to me, because I've yet to see anyone prove her wrong.
Accordng to her, it was...
"Part of his ride was to warn the British" ~ Sarah Palin
No, part of his ride was not to warn the British. She got that wrong too and her acolytes simply can't accept that.
Damn, her actual words just keep changin' and changin'.
Where did she say, "it was part of his ride"?
You do realized we just agreed on all that... right?
Using the quote, out of context, is dishonest.
If Governor Palin relaxed and stopped worrying about what people thought about her, this "stupid spiral," if you will, would end. Palin would disagree with my assessment, but if it were not so, this habit, then why the pattern of consistently putting her foot in her mouth?
It certainly doesn't taste good, that foot. And eating it's not the best meal for anyone who has White House-level ambitions.
Stop The Blame The Media Game
In closing, Palin should not just stop thinking about what people think of her, but stop blaming the media for whatever stupid comment she makes. In the most recent case, Palin said it was a "gotcha" question. But how the hell can that be if the question was an opened ended one, asking how the day went?
That's a sure sign there's something wrong with Governor Palin. She's done this before, and the act is fading, fast.
And what he told them was not about arms. Apdst even tried to say that Revere was talking about a weapons "cache," but the closest word Revere used to "cache" was "catched," not "cache."Right, that is what you just did. Your quote does not say that he warned them, only that he told them. Hence my initial assertion that it is a terminology issue...

He has to make crap up in order to make Palin right -- and then he has the audacity to challenge other to prove Palin got it wrong.

And yeah, I realize this is just a blogger. But we're all just people, and at least half of us can see that she could have ended it all the next day if she'd just said "ewps" (which is how we Northerners pronounce it).
Do you really think it is a big deal that she is not a storyteller? Is your life so shallow that this is its finest hour?No, the spin is HOW it was presented. You guys just can't admit that one of your own got it wrong. Shame... and I agree. VERY instructive.
Do you think Obama doesn't know what year it is or do you think he had a brain fart when he wrote 2008?
I think Obama doesn't pay attention and is incompetent
Your post has absolutely nothing to do with what my post was addressing, which ws context in general. Perhaps if you actually read a few posts before you commented, your responses might not look as stupid and out of place. Somehow, I doubt it though.
Jesus, did anyone ever tell you that you're a complete dick? Yes, you are whining about context but there is nothing to take out of context. She thought that Paul Revere shot off guns and rang bells, while telling the British that they could not take away the colonist's arms. That's stupid.
Sorry if you are angry about it.
I am angry about nothing. You on the other hand, with the now reported name calling, appear to be VERY angry.
Yes report me for calling it like I see it. You said "my posts look stupid and out of place" (direct quote) and then report me for calling you a dick? That's funny.
2) You call names
What name did I call YOU? Please link to my post where I called YOU any name.
