Well, it looks like I learned something new... http://legalinsurrection.blogspot.com/2011/06/so-now-all-these-people-will-apologize.html
1) The bottom line was unnecessary. 2) Why does it matter what Obama does? I'm pretty sure he isn't relevant to this argument.
It's funny how the right often complained about liberals bringing up Bush randomly (which they did), but love at any and every chance to bring up Obama now, and Clinton then.
the left does that too, but it doesn't come off as solid as the "you don't love America" type insults that the right heaps on those who don't agree with their view of things. The difference is like "you are an idiot" vs "you hate America, and you're trying to bring down all that it stands for. And you hate God. And you're a socialist". ok, so the left does the socialist/nazi thing too.
Except that Palin was actually correct about Paul Revere. Revere's own words back up Palin's factual accuracy. http://legalinsurrection.blogspot.com/2011/06/so-now-all-these-people-will-apologize.html Derrrrr
I have to laugh at people who claim to be experts on Paul Revere, when their only knowledge of his ride is gained from a poem.

Sarah Palin is teaching Amurrricans their real history. I do agree that her delivery lacked penache, but she could have read it off of a screen and been hailed a rhetorical genius. I'll take a pliticia who at least attempts to speak extemporaneously on a daily basis, as opposed to a President who seems to get himself off-message whenever he isn't reading words from a teleprompter.
I'll take a politician who doesn't quit their job halfway through their term (and didn't do it because they were running for President at the time).
Me too. That's one of Palin's many fatal flaws as a candidate. Of course, our current President only served a year or so to the job that he was elected to do by the people of Illinois before he declared his candidacy for President, and he even admitted that he wasn't ready to be President. So, you kind of do take politicians who quit their job, regardless of the reason why. Tort law in Alaska meant that any civil lawsuits against the governor had to be paid by the governor, and not the state, so I can see why Palin quit with all of the frivilous lawsuits being filed against her by Democrats. That said, the majority of the public doesn't care about the reason (like you, apparently), and that's why it's a flaw that Palin won't be able to overcome.
Yes, because I'm sure Sarah Palin is such a student of American History that she knew about some obscure letter written by Revere that my neice who has a degree in US History barely knew about.
My point exactly. Followers and paid shills "think/believe". Leaders know. I'm guessing you were home-schooled, which would explain your reading comprehension difficulties. I never said it wasn't a word. I "kidded" it might be Inuit because it's not exactly a word commonly used, and promptly used it in a sentence for demonstration. Your weak sense of humor is likely a by-product of an isolated upbringing also.
So, your niece blew how many tens of thousands of dollars on a degree that didn't fully educate her on a crucial aspect of American history? She should sue her university for her own ignorance.
I don't think the point is about what Revere wrote. She was saying he fired a shot across the Brits' bow; that the colonies weren't going to just sit there and take it anymore.
