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.
Surely this is American History 101 ....... even in Ireland we know that Paul Revere didn't ride to warn the British .... not to mention ' bells and shots '. The least one would expect from a Presidential nominee would be a basic grasp of the history of the country they might be running in.
