The British were alerted that the colonials had been warned and would be waiting for them by the fact that the bells were tolling.

Lexington proved it and Revere's interaction with the British outside of Concord confirmed it.

It is a matter of syntax and what one wants to listen to.
She was correct, but it did not come out that way.
The media had egg on their face afterwards for jumping the gun and calling her out.

The British weren't alerted that they couldn't take our arms. Nobody was confiscating weapons and there wasn't even a true rebellion yet so she couldn't even make the case that they were trying to disarm the militia or Washington's "army". There was no overt "warning" by Revere until he was captured and then it was only a boast to inflate the rebel numbers.

How much are you really stretching here? A lot. A metric fuckton. The evidence is Wikipedia as her acolytes try to revise history to fit her own verbal diarrhea.

The following people now need to admit that Palin was right and they were wrong.
I am sure they will rush forth to do so.

And those are just the people who came right out and said that Palin was wrong or was an idiot. I left off the people who made fun of her, but didn't comment on what Palin said.

Seems that Palin has a better grasp on history than a lot of people in this forum.

Great, she should be the Republican nominee then.

"What have you seen so far today, and what are you going to take away from your visit?"

The now-infamous "shout-out gotcha question" that the LameStream Media used to trap poor Saint Sarah into her Paul Revere dissertation...

It is the Boston Herald that is defending her and a Boston University History Professor, but I am sure you know about the subject than them.
http://www.bostonherald.com/news/us...right_experts_back_palins_historical_account/

What she was saying is that his Midnight Ride was to warn the Brits and that's bullshit, he never had any intention of doing that. Only after he was captured and interogated did he in a moment of defiance tell them to watch their asses. Spin it anyway you want you Republican Stiff, it doesn't add up.

BTW the Herald is a Rpublican Muff Diving Rag, take what they print with a grain of dalt.

So the college professor and member of Paul Revere house are also Republican mouth pieces too?

And as I said in the other thread:
Palin may have stumbled into the answer by accident, but the fact is that she did get the answer right and all the members of the media who made fun of her got it wrong.

No and they didn't say what she said was true. What they said is that he told the Brits after he was captured to watch their asses. They never said that was the purpose of his ride. On the other hand the dumb C*** Palin did.

Really??

Boston University history professor Brendan McConville said, “Basically when Paul Revere was stopped by the British, he did say to them, ‘Look, there is a mobilization going on that you’ll be confronting,’ and the British are aware as they’re marching down the countryside, they hear church bells ringing —she was right about that — and warning shots being fired. That’s accurate.”

Couldn't spell it out more clearly if I tried.

And enough of the offensive labeling of Palin as a "C***"

No, it's you.

What THEY said were things like that she appeared to 'get lucky' on PART of what she said, but they doubt she knew she was talking about.

You are the one who misrepresented what they said as 'completely vindicating here' and saying people here who were correct had to say she was right, they were wrong.

I didn't see the article say 'Anandtech posters pointing out her errors were wrong'.

I didn't see the article say that her claiming Paul Revere warned the British *with bells and warning shots while he rode* and no mention of saying anything to them, meant that she was right because when he was taken into custody - NOT when 'he was riding his horse through town' - he made comments she did not mention.

I will let her have the point about their coming for a rebel ammunition cache confuse with 'coming to take the citizens' guns' she is trying to exploit for her 'Democrats want to take your guns' claim, because - especially for her - it has enough to it to let her have it as a poorly phrased statement. The other stuff she got wrong.

Face the facts - I know you don't like it - she clearly did not understand the 'bells and shots' were to alert the *citizens*, not the British.

(In fact, I haven't seen anything that the shots were warnings to anyone rather than the ones between citizens and the soldiers, but it's unclear).

His ride was to warn Sam Adams and John Hancock - she doesn't even mention that, calling it a 'ride to warn the British, with bells and shots'.

He didn't even plan to 'warn the British' at all with the ride, and planned to do nothing of the sort had he not been captured.

You are wrong. The fact she got bits right (he was on a horse, not a helicopter), parts gray area, and parts wrong leaves her quite wrong on the parts she's wrong on.

Revere's own description says nothing of warning the British not to seize arms caches, it says he was warning the two leaders:

About 10 o'Clock, Dr. Warren Sent in great haste for me, and beged that I would imediately Set off for Lexington, where Messrs. Hancock & Adams were, and acquaint them of the Movement, and that it was thought they were the objets.

The 'Paul Revere House' points out who he was warning - not a word about Brits:

On the way to Lexington, Revere "alarmed" the country-side, stopping at each house, and arrived in Lexington about midnight. As he approached the house where Adams and Hancock were staying, a sentry asked that he not make so much noise. "Noise!" cried Revere, "You'll have noise enough before long. The regulars are coming out!"

Craig, go read the letter writing by Revere himself in the other thread.

He mentions red coats and that he warned them that the Americans knew they were coming and would be ready.

Why would I re-read it after I described how it contradicts your misrepresentation of it that you keep repeating?

You tell me where is says Revere was 'warning the British with bells and shots while he rode through town'.

You tell me where Palin said the ride was to warn Sam Adams and John Hancock, as Revere's letter says it was.

Do you mean half right after the first answer or half right after the coached, team researched answer?

She rambles and muddles so many words together it's just a matter of mathematics that she is half right about something half the time she speaks.

You can tell a Palin basher But you can't tell them much. The men calling her very nasty names have a problem with strong beautiful women in general. These same men would be afraid to approach any women of power to strike up a relationship. These men also are not gentlemen in any sense of the word. The men on this board as shown by their profane description of Palin are knuckle draggers. I wounder if these men talk like they post in front of their mother's. Go ahead and attack I do not mind little weasles calling me names.

Bitch, please, my life is full of strong women, I married one who was raised by one You merely want her treated with kid gloves because she is a woman. She has no power, she's merely a media whore and then cries foul when she gets "mistreated" ( called out on her BS).

You forget the Democrats' infamous hatred for Speaker Pelosi when she was the most powerful woman politician in the United States. They also hate powerful women so much they appointed three of them to the Supreme Court...

I restate my original remarks and yes I would expect that any man even if he disagrees with a women to show some respect. I can see you are not that person

CallMeJoe I was referring to the men on this board that use the most profane names when talking about Palin.

It's not about her gender, it's about her intellectual capabilities. Or more accurately, her lack thereof.
