Sarah Palin Says Paul Revere's Midnight Ride was to Warn the "British" Not Colonists at Start of Revolutionary War

Presidential aspirant Sarah Palin tries to rewrite American history by saying Paul Revere midnight ride was to warn the "British."

No matter how hard I try to ignore Sarah Palin, she always manages to give me a reason to blog about her. Sarah Palin, who believes in her heart that she is fit to become the president of the United States of America, told her version of Paul Revere's historic ride in 1775 at the start of the Revolutionary War. I won't summarize her words, let me give you her exact comments: 'He who warned, uh, the British that they weren't going to be taking away our arms uh by ringing those bells...' And she wonders why the media and comedians ride her like Revere rode to tell the colonists protecting a rebel arsenal in Concord that the British were coming and for avoiding the arrest of John Hancock and Samuel Adams. Sarah, even my nine year old son knows the story about Paul Revere. To think you want us to entrust our country to the likes of you and Todd Palin.

UPDATE#1: There is evidence that Paul Revere did in fact speak with the British, but I seriously doubt Sarah Palin took the time to read Revere's letter and reach that conclusion on her own. I still stand by my comments and echo Bill Maher's blunt conclusion: “I think anybody could be president in this dumb f*ckin’ country.” The intent of his ride was to warn the colonists, no matter how Sarah Palin spins this. The Paul Revere House website states quite clearly that on April 18, 1775, Dr. Joseph Warren instructed Revere to ride to Lexington, MA, to warn the two men that the British troops were marching towards them with the intent to arrest them.
