The Facebook group "I hate it when I wake up and
Sarah Palin is still alive" has grown to well over 3,000
members. 3,249 people to be exact. Over three
thousand left-wingers wish to see Mrs. Palin die.
GS - my point is that I don't understand why you bother mentioning that they left Concord. I was making the point that they were trying to get there to get those guys out before the British made their way. I didn't suggest that others didn't make it there - or that they didn't get out. Your comment seemed to suggest that I did and I was confused by that.
Clearly, your comment about Concord was in response to my comment about Concord. I get that. I didn't need you to just quote my post again. What I would like for you to do is explain why you typed that in response to what I said...
The name does sort of match the excitement his campaign generated.
You criticized Palin for saying Revere was warning
the militia to get out of Concord and they did, so
I don't understand what your criticism is.
GS - Perhaps I am missing the part where she says that he was "ringing the bells" to warn the Americans on his ride. I must have missed that part of the statement. Or the part that said he was heading to Concord to get the good guys out in time. Must have missed that too. Of course, that doesn't sound as grand as him riding while flipping off the British.
OK, GS...let's slow this down for you. Read each sentence twice and maybe it will get clearer...

Palin did not say that Revere was trying to get word to the leaders of the Sons of Liberty to get out of Concord. I said that. I said that Palin failed to say this as well as failed to say that he was warning the militia to rise against the British march. Instead, she chose to invent history and say that Revere was using his ride (and "ringing those bells") to tell the British that America was strong, etc., etc. When, in fact, he was using the ride to get leaders out of town before the British got there...actually rather different than what she said...
Give her staffers credit for coming up with a clever argument to say Revere was effectively beating his chest and letting the British know it would be no easy fight.
Its concocted, of course, to deflect the rightful criticism of her butchering the story. But clever nevertheless.
At this point, I'm not even sure she misspoke. I think that it might have just been how she views the events. Upon review, the comments don't make sense as a gaffe - it is just taking some truth (Revere's statements to the British following his detainment) and combining it into the Longfellow tale to spin things into her cheerleading routine. It doesn't mean she was correct in saying it the way she did - but I think its what was going on.
As usual, Palin is 100% correct! While politicians
can talk a good game, and might have got us close, if
they were our only recourse we would still be in the
British Empire, and they have never talked hostilities
to an end. As to papers like the Times, who have been
nothing more than communist manifesto-pushing rags
for years, if they actually had any power at the time,
our forefathers would have been found out and
hanged before any Revolution came to pass.
As to her disliking the press, they have savaged her
and her family mercilessly, and attempted to destroy
her at every turn. They just spent days asking for help
going through 24,000 pages of this private citizens e-
mails, and spent not one minute looking into the history
of whoever it claims to be currently occupying the
White House.
Keller may have left the helm of the NY TIMES, but he
is still guiding the progressive path of hatred and lies
against successful Americans with whom he disagrees
That you would adhere to this birth certificate nonsense proves you are cRaZIer than I originally thought.

To Palin, all questions are gotcha' because she can't answer any of them.
I'm not sure he's posted an independent thought on here yet.
So, GS, why would Palin, when speaking of Revere's RIDE (and "ringing those bells"), (1) focus on highlighting only Revere's warning to the British of America's strength and (2)leave out the primary purposes of his ride given the fact that his warning came not on his ride but after his detainment? What is so ludicrous about my suggestion that she likely did this because it served as another platform for her to cheerlead America's strength on her "Go America" tour? I'm not suggesting that it was necessarily premeditated - (3)just that it could possibly be her default go-to approach to things.
I don't know what is true and what isn't about Obama's comments. I'm sure you think you do. The better question is who is really trying to derail this discussion, as you accused me of other. The only "aside" I introduced (according to you) was clarifying (4)my point about Concord that you clearly misunderstood. According to you, this was to draw attention away from the real discussion - though to me it was to make sure we were on the same page in the discussion. I am glad to see you are now doing exactly what you accused me of doing - dangling the Obama/Muslim bait to deflect from the current conversation. You have a habit of accusing others of the very things you do (5)(such as your personal attack complaints followed up by ban-able personal attacks/aggression by you on others).

Its hard to blame her for getting her facts wrong from the Longfellow poem since the facts are wrong there, too. But even that poem was about him warning the revolutionaries, not the British.
The warning was to the revolutionaries that the fight was on and to protect the store of munitions, not some kind of PSA propoganda psychological warfare aimed at making the Brits feel all depressed.

1. Goes to the tea party support of the 2nd amendment
and the drive to get back to the constituional approach
to government vs the socialist path chosen by the
democrats and some republicans.
2. Because everyone knows about that part of his
mission, I think I've explained that two or three
times to you.
3. Or it could be you over analyzing.
Not that this isn't largely the tea party approach.
4. I still don't understand what point you are trying to
make. What Palin said was factually correct.
5. No one on the board receivs more insults meant
to be personal than me, if you take time to notice.
Whatever, why are you dwelling on this item.
Is that the only criticism of Palin you have other than
the fact that you dislike her personally?
The name does sort of match the excitement his campaign generated.
4 - I'm just discussing my issue with people using this as an example of Palin being right and the media being wrong.
Its supposed to be common knowledge that Sarah
Palin is stupid, right? Why? Palin-haters cant tell us.
Theres no actual data to back that up, other than
out-of-context statements, completely made up
quotes and purported gotcha moments.
These debunked gaffes then get transported
instantaneously throught the leftosphere from Daily
Kos to the NY Times to MoveOn.org to MSNBC to the
script writing rooms of Saturday Night Live and
around and around again. All this before the slightest
bit of fact checking even startsif it ever takes place
at all.
----------------------------
The irony of all this is that for most of the Palin-bashers,
their idea of an absolute brilliant God-like genius is
President Obama. But the funny thing is that there is
just as little evidence of Barack Obamas intelligence
as there is of Sarah Palins stupidity.
In fact, if liberals actually lived in a reality-based
world rather than in their fantasy liberals are smart
and good; conservatives are stupid and evil world,
they would realize that Sarah Palin actually knows
what the hell shes talking about, while Barack
Obama is a complete idiot with a capital I.
-------------------------
M is for the Mainstream Media. As documented by
many, such as Bernard Goldberg, the liberal MSM has
been in the tank for Obama since he appeared on the
national stage. If you dont know most or even some
of the gaffes listed above, you can thank the Obama-
ass-kissing media for that. They are the reason these
huge whoppers by Obama have been hidden while
tiniest little misstatement from Sarah Palin is amplified
to the hilt and paraded as evidence of the womans
stupidity.
Also, because the MSM have been cheerleaders not
only for Obama but for all his failed policiesfrom the
Stimulus Bill to QE/QE2 to his takeover of GM and
Chrysler to Obama(Doesnt)Care to Cash for Clunkers
to his Middle East foreign policythey are just as
stupid and clownish as the president they so admire.
