Palin is many things, sensitive does not appear to be one of them however.

That's exactly what Paul Revere did.

She may not be all things to all people but it's nice to see a politician who knows their history.

No he didn't. He didn't ring any bells. He warned the colonists, not the British.

Palin: Getting it all wrong

Palin said, “He who warned uh, the British that they weren’t gonna be takin’ away our arms, uh by ringing those bells, and um, makin’ sure as he’s riding his horse through town to send those warning shots and bells that we were going to be sure and we were going to be free, and we were going to be armed.”

Okay, there is a little problem with Palin’s story. Paul Revere’s historic ride occurred in 1775, the constitutional convention did not even convene until 1787. Besides this not so minor point, Sarah Palin gets everything else about Paul Revere’s ride wrong.

...

Paul Revere wasn’t ringing bells or firing shots into the air. He had to quietly deliver the message that the regulars were coming to arrest John Adams and John Hancock. The story of Paul Revere screaming the British are coming has been woven into our popular culture, so I don’t fault Palin for getting that wrong, but the Second Amendment and shots being fired into the air are pure Palin propaganda.

As she did the day before and will the day after. She's a know-nothing. What else is new?
