Was not going to post this weekend but this was too good to pass up! Wonder if it is going to be the media's fault for quoting what she said. This comes from Forbes not some media outlet that some conservatives consider the enemy because they toss Palin hardball questions. Not sure she can answer very many softball questions if she doesn't even know the story of Paul Revere.
Earlier we had Michelle Bachmann in Concord, NH, not once but twice referring to Concord, NH, as the place the Revolutionary War started and then conservatives saying it gets mixed up all the time. Give me a break! Lexington-Concord is in Massachusetts and was in Massachusetts when I was in American History and also when my kids took American history.
Why are some conservatives so fast to defend dumb statements out of women Republicans but will attack the Democrats if they made the same statement? When someone makes a dumb statement no matter the party, it is dumb. Makes you wonder about the aides to some of these candidates. Right now the GOP women are not looking very smart but don't you know, it is all the media's fault is the line that is used all the time.
Edmund Burke (1729-1797) statement, "Those who don't know history are destined to repeat it."
Sarah Palin Should Spend Less Time on Fox News and More Time Brushing Up on U.S. History
He who warned, uh, the British that they weren’t going to be taking away our arms uh 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 and we were going to be armed.
All this leads me to believe that instead of presidential debates, what the GOP race needs is a series of Jeopardy contests, all focused on politics, economics, and American history. That would tell us much more, I’m afraid, about the candidates, than any debate ever could.
