My comment: Background in n chronologicval order:

(b) Jessica Fargen, Palin’s flub is ammo. Bosaton Herald, June 5, 2011

("Palin, who visited the Old North Church last week on her East Coast tour
of patriotic, historic sites, had this to say about Paul Revere’s ride: 'He
who warned, uh, the British that they weren’t going to be taking away our
arms by ringing those bells and, uh, 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.'")
* Old North Church
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Old_North_Church
(built in 1723)
* Paul Revere
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_Revere
(1735-1818; a silversmith; section 2 "Midnight Ride"
Before this eruption, most people in Boston, including me, did not know
that Red Coats wanted to disarm the militias;
that Revere was captured, who warned Red Coats;
that Red Coats were greeted with warning shots and church bells.
(c) Sarah Palin appeared on Fox News Sunday (July 5), whose host Chris
Wallace said “you realized that you messed up about Paul Revere, don’t you
?” Ms Palin flatly denied.
(d) The last paragraph of teh top Herald report refers to
William Jacobson, Anti-Palinites Go All In On Epistemic Closure.

("Relying on the Longfellow poem about Paul Revere's ride, there was a
collective insistence that Palin's statement reflected ignorance and
stupidity, but the truth is that the Longfellow poem was not a complete
account of the events") |
