Experts back Sarah Palin’s historical account
You betcha she was right!
By Chris Cassidy
Monday, June 6, 2011 - Updated 5 days ago
Sarah Palin yesterday insisted her claim at the Old North Church last week that Paul Revere “warned the British” during his famed 1775 ride — remarks that Democrats and the media roundly ridiculed — is actually historically accurate. And local historians are backing her up.
Take it up with Boston University history professor Brendan McConville and the Boston Herald.....

Did Paul Revere ring bells and fire warning shots to warn the British, Blabo?
Because that's what your bimbo the Quitter on Twitter said.
Keep dancing, loser.

The man who gave failin' Palin her history lesson says she's a dumb cunt, Blabo.
The head of Boston’s Old North Church who gave Sarah Palin a history lesson about Paul Revere says she “misplaced facts” in her infamous video interview about Revere’s midnight ride.
Reverend Stephen T. Ayres, vicar of Boston’s Old North Church, wrote a letter about his experience hosting Sarah Palin.
In his letter the Reverend makes a confession of his own: he was the one who put the historical ideas about Paul Revere in Palin’s head.
But, he said, “I will not take the blame for the odd order those factoids came out.”
In reflecting on the media storm that swelled around Palin’s version of the Paul Revere story, Ayres writes, “Lots of pundits berated Governor Palin’s grasp of history. Many of them have made their own mistakes.”
But make no mistake: she goofed.
“Perhaps it was too much information in too short a period of time to digest properly,” Ayres wrote. “Maybe if we climbed to the top of the steeple and viewed the lanterns, the governor wouldn’t have focused on the bells. Who knows? [She] provided us with priceless free publicity by misplacing a few facts when quizzed on her visit.”
What exactly qualifies a vicar as an authority on Paul Revere’s ride? He’s not a history professor or even an academic. But as the steward of this historical icon, Ayres does seem particularly well versed in the legacy of his predecessors.
At any rate, according to Ayres, Palin was wrong in her claim that Paul Revere rode to warn the British that “we were gonna be secure and we were gonna be free.”
This directly contradicts Palin’s statement on Fox News the following Sunday that she “didn't mess up on Paul Revere.”
It’s understandable that she wouldn’t admit to such a dubious grasp on the kind of American history that every 5th-grader knows, especially when her entire campaign (or non-campaign, as the case may be) depends on laying unique claim to America’s founding—and therefore purist—principles.

Old North Church vicar defends Palin on Revere
The vicar of Old North Church says he’s miffed at the “gotcha”-seeking media for twisting Sarah Palin’s stop at the Hub landmark earlier this month into an endless GOP-bashing circus.
Rev. Stephen T. Ayres told the Herald this weekend it’s all a tempest in a Tea Party pot.

How retarded are you, Blabo? Of course it is, and here's what he said about the dumbass diva:

No wonder voters said Charlie Sheen would make a better pres than the grifter grandma.
Not quite pinhead....here is what he said....
Ayres said he feels somewhat responsible because he tutored Palin on the particulars of Revere’s 1775 ride and teen exploits as a bell-ringer at the fabled church. So he has fired back at left-leaning bloggers by penning a post of his own on the church Web site.
“I knew where all the factoids she cited came from and take responsibility for putting them in her head,” Ayres, 56, wrote. “I will not take the blame for the odd order those factoids came out.’’
He gave them the usual “one if by land, two if by sea” lesson, but added in how Revere founded the church’s bell-ringing guild in 1750 as a teen and how he warned the British after being arrested on the night of his famous ride that the minutemen had been alerted.
Hence Palin’s quote to the press that Revere “warned the British that they weren’t going to be taking away our arms by ringing those bells and making sure as he’s riding his horse through town to send those warning shots and bells that we were going to be secure and we were going to be free.”
“One hundred and fifty years later most of the pundits and many of us assume Longfellow’s poem was historically correct. I hate to break it to you, but Revere was not standing on the opposite shore, did not make it as far as Concord that night, and finished his ride to Lexington before midnight.”
So pinhead....you can't even quote the link correctly.....

You're a liar, Blabo.
Nowhere in your link http://bostonherald.com/news/regional/view.bg?articleid=1344806&position=0 did Rev. Ayres say Palin was correct when she boobed. Maybe you should listen to stupid Sarah again:
Keep dancing, liar.
