WASHINGTON (AP) — Sarah Palin says she didn’t mess up her history on Paul Revere.
The potential 2012 presidential candidate was in Boston on Thursday as part of her bus tour when she was asked about the Revolutionary War hero.
Palin said Revere “warned the British that they weren‘t gonna be takin’ away our arms.”
Palin, a paid Fox News contributor, told “Fox News Sunday” that she was correct. She says there were British soldiers in the area for years before Revere’s legendary ride, and that he was warning them, as well as his fellow colonists.
The Paul Revere House’s website says that on April 18, 1775, Dr. Joseph Warren instructed Revere to ride to Lexington, Mass., to warn Samuel Adams and John Hancock that British troops were marching to arrest them.
Editor’s note: See the video clip of her Paul Revere answer here.

Posted on June 5, 2011 at 1:54pmBe carefull reporters at The Blaze. Sarah is smarter than you are. She doubled down and remained vaque about the story. She is right and is providing rope to expose and hang the hacks. She has been dealing with a hostile or lame media for 20 years. Read “Paul Revere’s Ride” by David Hackett Fischer, an excellent book by an excellent author. The same author of ” Washington’s Crossing”.
Good Luck

Posted on June 5, 2011 at 2:35pmThe Redcoats had set temporary roadblocks as a security measure and on their way to Concord they encountered British soldiers. Prescott managed to escape; Revere was captured and Dawes tried to run away but was arrested shortly thereafter. The British held Revere and interrogated him with a pistol on his chest. He was asked about the plans of the militia and where they kept their ammunition. When asked where the Patriots were hiding he told them the truth and replied that they had 500 militiamen in Concord protecting them and 1500 coming.

Posted on June 5, 2011 at 4:11pmGOOD LINK Celestialfire! But…facts don’t bear-out $arah’s statements “Even though the poet took many liberties in describing the event he also got many facts right. Starting with the date, April 18th, 1775 and the objective of his ride: to spread the alarm and to warn the country-folk to be up and to arm. He successfully completed his ride to warn Hancock and Adams.”

Posted on June 5, 2011 at 5:30pm“Just outside of Charlestown, two British soldiers stopped him at a roadblock and grabbed the reins of his horse. The roadblocks were to prevent colonists from communicating with each other and to try to capture Hancock and Adams. He kicked one of the soldiers in the face and spurred forward, escaping capture. He arrived in Lexington and warned Hancock and Adams of Gage’s offensive movement and plans. He continued his ride on to Concord, where he was to warn the Patriots of the attack.”
Just outside of Lincoln (before reaching Concord), Revere and Dawes were confronted by another British roadblock. Dawes got away and Revere was captured. During his interrogation by the British, he told the British a lot of information about their own mission, some of which those particular British soldiers didn’t even know! He also told them he had been riding around the countryside informing the Patriots of the British plot and that the British were at severe risk if they remained in the vicinity. He was bluffing of course, but with enough truth in his statements to make it very believable.
A short time later Revere and his British captors heard a shot. Revere told them that the shot was a signal to alarm the country and the militia will be ready to mount their own attack. A few short minutes after his explanation of the shot, a volley of musketry from the direction of the Lexington meeting house sounded and immediately after that the Lexington town bell began clanging rapidly!

Report Post »In 1995, David Hackett-Fischer published a book, “Paul Revere’s Ride” in which he details the capture of Revere by the British. When stopped by the British, Revere warned them that he had alerted the whole countryside of their approach and that they should quit their mission. After telling them this, they heard the bells summoning the town militias (Minutemen) coming from different directions. Revere WARNED the BRITISH officers that they would fail in their mission to disarm the colonists and would meet with armed resistance. Read a book, learn something other that what Bill Mahr mangles….

Report Post »The fact is that in a 1798 letter, Revere himself wrote that he rode to warn Adams and Hancock that the British were coming to arrest them.
“On Tuesday evening, the 18th, it was observed, that a number of Soldiers were marching towards the bottom of the Common. 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.” http://www.masshist.org/database/doc-viewer.php?item_id=99&mode=nav To believe that she knew of some obscure OTHER information is laughable.

It is just little statements like these that are parceled out so the truly ignorant LEMMINGS like yourself make buffoons out of yourself and it once again demonstrates for the whole country how truly deluded you all are by your own self professed intelligence.

Funny thing, on a summer vacay a few years back, I took the kids to a tour about Paul Revere. Amazing thing I learned from the tour guide however, the poem written about him 100 YEARS LATER was not factually correct. Why according to Paul Revere’s own written word “he was taken into custody by the British” and in order to buy time for THE OTHER TWO RIDERS, he bloated the number of Americans he told the English he had warned so they might hesitate and give the Americans more time to get out there. Wow,BHAUB! DON’T YOU READ DEAR ONE? don’t you know your own history BHAUB?

There were actually three riders that night. The truth is that Paul Revere never finished that ride that came to be named after him. Paul Revere was stopped by a British patrol on his way to Concord. In fact, he was riding with two other men, only one of whom succeeded in warning the Americans in Concord that the British were coming. William Dawes also rode with Paul Revere that night. He, too, was stopped by a British patrol. He managed to escape, as did Dr. Samuel Prescott, the third rider. Revere, meanwhile, didn’t escape until much later, and without his horse. He walked back to Lexington and made it there in time to witness part of the battle on Lexington Green. Dawes, meanwhile, got lost in the dark and never made it to Concord. Only Dr. Samuel Prescott reached Concord, where he delivered the warning, “The British are Coming!” And when the British came to Concord, the Americans were ready.

The sound of a single shot had suggested to them that surprise was lost. The crash of a volley appeared evidence that the country was rising against them.

Posted on June 5, 2011 at 1:21pmThis account in “Paul Revere’s Ride” by David Hackett Fischer (Oxford University Press 1994), may be of interest to you and all the others who purport to be so much better informed than Palin:
“A townsman remembered that ‘repeated gunshots, the beating of drums and the ringing of bells filled the air.’…. Along the North Shore of Massachusetts, church bells began to toll and the heavy beat of drums could be heard for many miles in the night air.”

Posted on June 5, 2011 at 4:38pmSarah Palin was right.
Original source materials are more reliable. Here are some excerpts from Paul Revere’s own accounts of that time. According to Paul Revere, he was captured and interrogated by the British and warned them (the British) that American troops were prepared to fight. Just thought you might want to have all the facts.

Revere ‘Warned’ the British Officers
At last the [British] officers began to feel the full import of what Paul Revere had been telling them. His words of warning took on stronger meaning when punctuated by gunfire. The sound of a single shot had suggested to them that surprise was lost. The crash of a volley appeared evidence that the country was rising against them. As they came closer to the Common they began to hear Lexington’s town bell clanging rapidly. the captive Loring, picking up Revere’s spirit, turned to the officers and said, ‘The bell’s a’ringing! The town’s alarmed, and you’re all dead men!’”

Posted on June 6, 2011 at 6:54amAnd in Revere’s own words, after warning Adams and Hancock, he was captured as the British moved to take the Colonists stores (to include weapons). During his capture and subsequent interrogation, shots were heard all around in the darkness. The officer asked Revere what that was and replied they were warning shots of the approaching British.
Now her version has the appearance of being shaky because she was probably asked as a sneak attack by the reporter. She wasn’t expecting the question. So she stumbled as she answered. But she is correct.
The romantic but highly inaccurate Longfellow poem of the event makes us believe that the poem is the correct recounting of the Ride.

Posted on June 5, 2011 at 1:20pmI used to support Palin, but Democrats convinced me a woman can’t be President. Democrats claim they’re politically superior to Republicans. Democrats shoved an obviously better qualified Hillary aside like a bag of garbage, to push for a “community organizer” with no real experience. The MSM, mostly all Democrats backed that move and then mercilessly attacked first Hillary, and then turned their attention on Palin, someone more qualified in the Executive branch of government than the community organizer, but yet another woman. They’re still attacking today. The obvious conclusion, Democrat see that a woman should never be President.

Posted on June 5, 2011 at 7:47pmIn 1995, David Hackett-Fischer published a book, “Paul Revere’s Ride” in which he details the capture of Revere by the British. When stopped by the British, Revere warned them that he had alerted the whole countryside of their approach and that they should quit their mission. After telling them this, they heard the bells, drums, and musket-shot summoning the town militias (Minutemen) coming from different directions. The mission? to seize the munitions at Concord that the Colonists had stored. The warning he gave to the British? That they couldn’t disarm the militia, that they would be met with armed resistance. By the looks of it, Palin was historically accurate.

Glenn Beck to Sarah Palin: “Which founding father is your favorite?” Sarah’s weak response: “All of them.” (Same response to Couric’s “gotcha” question on newspapers) The irony of her constantly spouting off about the founders and major players in our country’s history and being totally ignorant of that history at the same time. How inspirational. She’s had three years to get ready and apparently has wasted that time.

Posted on June 6, 2011 at 12:13amA quick analysis of the demographic spectrum that includes, age, education level, party affiliation, income, race, religious affiliation, etc. that most fervently supports Mrs Palin; helps put her defenders ability to see this woman for what she is in a much clearer perspective. A more cynical way to look at it might be the short bus passengers on a bridge to nowhere…but then I’m not cynical.
My pity for the Palin family extends only to Piper, the use of this innocent child as media tool is not just suspect parenting, it calls into question her mother’s judgement in the most profound ways…simply disgusting.

Posted on June 6, 2011 at 12:47amit’s been pretty funny watching the loony libs go bats### over this… i wasted way too much time on YouTube debating complete morons tonight. They were calling her stupid and then talking about Paul Revere riding through town screaming “The British are Coming” (which he actually did not)… they’re history is so bad it was worthy of a entire 12 pack of MGB and 2 (yes… TWO) bags of popcorn.
But Sarah is the idiot… lol. Priceless.

Posted on June 6, 2011 at 1:43amJust to set the record straight,
Revere became a trusted messenger for the Massachusetts Committee of Safety, an organization set up to resist the British. He foresaw an attack by the British troops against the location of military supplies in Concord, Massachusetts, and arranged a signal to warn the patriots in Charlestown, Massachusetts. During the late evening of April 18, 1775, the chairman of the Committee of Safety told him that the British were going to march to Concord. Revere signaled by hanging two lanterns in the tower of Boston’s North Church. This showed that the British were approaching “by sea,” that is, by way of the Charles River. He crossed the river, borrowed a horse in Charlestown, and started for Concord. Arriving in Lexington, Massachusetts, at midnight, he awakened American rebels John Hancock (1737–1793) and Samuel Adams (1722–1803), allowing the two men to flee to safety.
Revere was captured that night by the British, but he persuaded his captors that the whole countryside was aroused to fight, and they freed him. He returned to Lexington, where he saw the first shot fired in the first battle of the Revolutionary War (1776). This ride and series of events were made legendary by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (1807–1882) in the poem “Paul Revere’s Ride.”
Sarah got it wrong!

Posted on June 6, 2011 at 2:46amYep – she must be wrong, because Paul Revere never talked to NOBODY on any day except April 18, 1775. Nope. He just sat around cobbling his shoes and never said a word. Mute as a mute. Idiot LSM.

Posted on June 6, 2011 at 8:54amI find it HYSTERICAL the number of Beckbots that keep touting ‘THE LIBS ARE AFRAID OF PALIN! SHE’S SO STRONG SHE SCARES THE LIBS!’
When, in actuality, she’s just a fish hook in the guts of the Teapublican party – she went down nice and smooth and is going to rip the guts out when she has to get yanked.

Posted on June 6, 2011 at 11:57amYou are all wrong. It was Samuel Prescott who made the ride. Paul Revere never reached Concord. He got credit for it because his named was used in the poem. Didn‘t I learn this on Beck’s show or was it somewhere else? :)

Your avatar is a red “X” over the face of Rep. Lt. Col. Allen West? Are you marking him for lynching by your Klan friends (what even PBS called the militant wing of the Democrats) or for execution in front of a red firing squad, comrade? I guess this proves that you’re a racist by using your own leftist definitions.

Posted on June 6, 2011 at 2:35pmI am not one that wants Palin to be our president, and I heard about this mis-hap of hers on the radio, a local conservative host. And as I was listening to him, i was siding with him….he was saying this was a big mistake for her, even though he liked her…..and he gave details about why it was a mistake…..
After watching this clip, i was like…okay now i have to see the original mistake, so i found that video and watched it, and my opinion is that it is being blown way out of proportion…they way i was made to understand it is she said “paul ravere” was on a ride to warn the British” and that was it….after watching the mistake itself i couldn’t help but think….we have all made mistakes in the words we use, and this just sounds like one of them….seemed to me like two thoughts collided at the same time and got stuck, and out popped what she said..it doesn‘t mean she doesn’t know her history….That being said she should have admitted that she made a mistake instead of trying to make it right……

Posted on June 6, 2011 at 5:40pmThis is great! I am fairly certain that her statement was worded purposefully. The media could not resist such a tasty Palin treat and when they bit, she set the hook hard. When your a Palin hammerer, everything looks like a nail. They deserved to be kicked in the b***s for the relentless smear campaign.
