And the small minded liberals continue to parrot the mainstream medias lies. You do know Revere actually did warn the british the americans were coming don't you? Of course to know that you'd have to know that he was captured and said it as a warning to them. But don't let little things like the facts get in the way of your jealous Palin rants.

Sarah Palin is saying here that Paul Revere got taken by the British, on purpose, for the express reason of warning them that the colonists were gonna kick their butts. His plan was to warn the colonists; what happened was he got captured and tried to get out of it. Palin is wrong in say that "part of his ride was to warn the British." The correct answer would be "He ended up getting captured and tried to bluff his way out of punishment, thus telling the British about the colonial militia."
It's almost exactly like Bachmann saying the separation of church and state is a myth, and then being called on it and saying "Well, it's not in the Constitution!" Sure, those exact words don't appear - but judicial review interprets the Constitution and the SCotUS has deemed the first amendment as meaning there is a separation of church and state. Saying something wrong and then trying to cover it up with technicalities that weren't in your original point... creative at best, deceptive in the middle ground, and outright lying at worst.
