Bernie Goldberg On O’Reilly: Sarah Palin Mangled The Paul Revere Story

video
» 251 comments

Sarah Palin may have not convinced everyone that she is a master of American history with her peculiar rendition of the Paul Revere story last week, though that hasn’t stopped her fans from doing some creative editing on Wikipedia. On tonight’s O’Reilly, Bernie Goldberg defended her from liberal skewering on the matter, but admitted, “Sarah Palin mangled Paul Revere.”

After a lengthy segment on the ongoing Rep. Anthony Weiner story, Bill O’Reilly introduced the other most important story in the media, clarifying, “we like Mr. Revere, he was a good patriot and a good horseback rider.” While O’Reilly appeared to be comfortable giving Palin the benefit of the doubt, Goldberg didn’t mince words: “Sarah Palin mangled Paul Revere. I don’t care if she said she didn’t– she did.” That said, Goldberg mocked NBC’s Brian Williams for covering the story after refusing to discuss Rep. Weiner. “This was one of the more compelling things to cover [than Rep. Weiner].” O’Reilly countered that Revere had, as Palin said, “warned the British” by telling them “you’d better knock it off.”

    Was Goldberg speaking Austrian? I had a hard time understanding him.

    Has Fox News finally turned on Sarah Palin?

    After a lengthy segment on the ongoing Rep. Anthony Weiner story, Bill O’Reilly introduced the other most important story in the media, clarifying, “we like Mr. Revere, he was a good patriot and a good horseback rider.” While O’Reilly appeared to be comfortable giving Palin the benefit of the doubt, Goldberg didn’t mince words: “Sarah Palin mangled Paul Revere. I don’t care if she said she didn’t– she did.”

    Or to put in context, Goldberg said Palin mangled the Revere story before O’Reilly told how Revere did warn the British that going after our weapons would be a big mistake. When O’Reilly finished up and Goldberg had to go, Goldberg confesses (rather sheepishly) that he did not know this.

  • SuburbanPatriot

    I am glad that Sarah used this opportunity to bring attention to guns and the 2nd amendment which is something that Paul Revere cared deeply about because he was a true american just like Sarah.

    you do know the second amendment was written 13 years after his midnight ride

  • brooksider926

    Just because Mr. O’Reilly said it doesn’t make it true, people. Palin is an idiot and if you don’t know it by now, you will in the future. Imagine her finger on a button to send missiles! Eeek!

  • ElCapitanAmerica

    O’Reilly is a pinhead! What the heck was he talking about there at the end, Revere said no such thing. Goldberg’s reaction is classic at the end of that clip! :-D

    Here’s the difference between Fox and MSNBC. Fox will criticize both conservatives and liberals, and doesn’t take a predictable party line. Not so, over at the kneejerk news network.

  • ElCapitanAmerica

    Why are these people trying to rewrite history. The headline shouldn’t be “Bernie Goldberg saying Palin mangled the Revere story”, but the absurd defense O’Reilly comes up with!

    O’Reilly: “Now I’m gonna stick up for the governor, ’cause I know something about Paul Revere I actually have his signature. He did tell the British, you better knock it off, you better not try to seize the guns because if you do there’s gonna be a big problem which of course ensued. So we’ll give her the benefit of the doubt, as we try to do with everybody Bernie”

    Bernie Goldberg: “OK .. uh … I … I wansn’t aware of that. Thank you”

    O’Reilly: “It’s true”

    WTF?!?!

    This is what you did last night, post that link over and over. It doesn’t prove that “part of his ride was about warning the British”. Bill O’Reilly also messed up the story tonight.

    BTW the 57 comment, I’m not sure how the president’s gaffe on 57 states when he clearly meant 47 is equivalent. Did the double down days later, insisting he was right about 57 states? Did his followers try to edit wikipedia and conservopedia to make it so the US has 57 states and bend reality to his gaffe?

    How are these statements even comparable?

    You implied intent to Palin’s statements. What did she say that was wrong? Her response on the short clip was a word salad answer. Her answer on Sunday was just fine. I understood both. Perhaps if the Democratic Party looked at their own Party and what came out of your own mouths, you wouldn’t paint Palin with such a wide brush.

    You are harping on someone that is MORE pro-GLBT than YOUR own candidate. HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

    What I find depressing is they’re willing to lie about history to make her look good!

    Look at what they’ve done in Conservopedia …

    Paul Revere (1734-1818) was a silversmith in colonial America who was very active in Boston-area revolutionary groups such as the Sons of Liberty. He is famous for riding from Boston to Lexington, Massachusetts with William Dawes on the night of April 18, 1775 ringing bells to warn the British that colonists would exercise their natural rights to both bear arms and use them in an effort secede from the United Kingdom in response to Big Government bullying and interfering with Colony’s Rights[1]. Coincidentally, this also served to warn the minutemen the British were coming[Citation Needed]. Revere was captured before he could reach Concord, but managed to escape. His midnight ride was immortalized by a poem by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow.[2]

    COINCIDENTALLY!!!

    Sorry is this news? Palin is terrible on substance. so what she is popular and we elect based on number of votes not number of correct answers.

    Her audience is. Just look at the Dairyland Heffer. She claims to be down the northern grifter because of the libertarian leanings. The same woman who, as Governor, raised taxes on teh oil companies to balance the budget. Taxes which we passed on to you and me in the lower 48. And then the windfall from that great wealth transfer? Every Alaskan got a check from the government.

    Remember all the stupid crap about Joe the Plumber throwing a fit over the spreading the wealth around? Well, no one did it better than Sarah.

    The Badger state chubby lady on likes her because of the cult of her crazy lady personality. It has nothing to do with policy.

    Yeah, and I am a liberal in her crazy mind, yet I said multiple times that I wanted nothing more than for Mitch Daniels to run. I am pratically Chairman Mao. I am actually leaning toward voting for TPaw, but I doubt he can make it out of the circular firing squad that is that party,

    Dude – it’s called metaphor. You are assigning all of this intent for what you think Palin meant. Was Palin wrong when she said 1773 with the tea party statement when the media was wrong about that too? Please quote a historian that says point blank how the Paul Revere story happened. From what I’ve read, there are multiple accounts. No one can get a legit story. Even historians don’t have the same story.

    I’ve posted links and so if you’d like to refute those statements go ahead and do so.

    What you are posting now, I attribute to what Palin said. You are trying to read and hear everything that she says verbatim. If you’d like to do that, then I will put that onto EVERY politician and we can go discuss Obama and his gaffes. There are many. Would you like to open that can?

    You, cjd, turk, pablo, liberal, sarainitaly and a few others are fair posters on both sides of the angle.

    Dude – it’s called metaphor. You are assigning all of this intent for what you think Palin meant.

    Please point me to the part of her statement that is supposed to be a metaphor.

    Was Palin wrong when she said 1773 with the tea party statement when the media was wrong about that too? Please quote a historian that says point blank how the Paul Revere story happened. From what I’ve read, there are multiple accounts. No one can get a legit story. Even historians don’t have the same story.

    There’s actually a pretty agreed upon narrative with some variations, but most don’t agree with what Palin said.

    BTW what does the 1773 thing have to do with what I’m saying? Please stop the misdirection.

    Cite anybody who claims: “He who warned uh, the British that they weren’t gonna be takin’ away our arms”
    Cite a source who claims Revers’s mission was to: “Part of his ride was to warn the British that were already there that, ‘Hey, you’re not going to succeed. You’re not going to take American arms. You are not going to beat our own well-armed persons, individual, private militia that we have”

    In that article;

    “I suppose you could say that,” Leehey said. “But I don’t know if that’s really what Mrs. Palin was referring to.”

    McConville said he also is not convinced that Palin’s remarks reflect scholarship.

    “I would call her lucky in her comments,” McConville said.

    She threw a bunch of stuff that is tangentially true, but when you put the sentence together don’t make sense at all.

    When I point out how silly that is, you try to turn it around me by saying I “hate” Mexicans. Really, can’t people here debate things without this idiocy, and stay on topic?

    I was hoping with the moderation system the quality of the threads would go up, but it looks like mediaite gave up on that or they stopped moderating totally. It’s really not worth posting here anymore as people resort to personal insults and a very low level of intellectual discourse.

    She did get key points wrong though, part of his ride was not about warning the “British” as she said, everybody acknowledges that (well O’Reilly doesn’t). She also made it sound like Revere was firing shots and ringing bells, or was in charge of making sure those things happened, that’s not true at all. She focused on the wrong thing, and the tone of Reveres brief interaction with the soldiers was not to deliver a warning about their arms, it was about exagerating numbers in the hope they’d be scared of the militia. That wasn’t a goal, that’s something that happened by circumstance.

    Funny, I don’t remember her stating that the purpose of the ride was to warn the British only that he did. Thing is she didn’t do a great job of saying it but what she said was factual. He may not have rung the bells or fired the shots himself but he got the ball rolling with the intent that when he gave the first warning the bells would be rung and the shots would be fired. Focused on the wrong thing? I think Reveres purpose after being caught was to tell the British it was too late and that they weren’t going to get the arms. Exaggerating the numbers was a big part of that. So how did she focus on the wrong thing. It happening by circumstance doesn’t make what she said less factual it is what happened.

    Interesting thing to me is how ignorant the reporters were that jumped on this saying she was saying that it was about the 2nd amendment. She said it was about not getting the arms and the reporter made a giant ignorant leap thinking she had gotten Palin because the reporter didn’t know that it was about the arms store at Concord.

    Well-reasoned post. I feel like I’m defending such an easy point of contention.

    Was Palin the most effective in how she answered the question? No.
    Was Palin wrong? By and large, no.

    What about Obama’s gaffes, what do they have to do with Palin refusing to admit she got Revere’s story wrong?

    On the year, thing. He obviously made a mistake on the year. What do you want me to say, that he was right or he has a time machine?

    Like the 57 states thing, I think everybody knows he meant to say he had visited 47 states. Did he go on national TV to defend this gaffe? Did he really say he believes there are 57 states?

    See that’s the difference. Also those are minor gaffes, that everybody makes, like when Romney and every other reporter called Obama Osama, they didn’t really mean to say the president is Osama bin Laden.

    We adults can understand the differences.

    Now on this one, she screwed up the narrative. Was offered a chance to clear it up and refused to do so. Big difference.

    Again, the difference is that in her clarification she didn’t admit it was a gaffe and tried to pass misinformation as factual historical information, which it is not. And her words are very clear, which is why people at conservapedia are reflecting exactly what she said in detail.

    If she didn’t mean to say that was part of his mission, she should clarify it, that’s how most people are interpreting it.

    I have zero Palin rage, I’ve personally shaken her hand and attended 2 of her rallies in 2008, even have a poster I drew for her signed by her and the photos to prove it.

    However, I think she has revealed to be intellectually unqualified to be president, but what does irk me is she trying to confuse the story of Paul Revere which is fundamental to our nation. See, that’s really what I think is the patriotic thing, standing up for true historical facts and not fudge them to not admit mistakes.

    Also I don’t know how many times I have to explain the 57 states thing, which btw is totally irrelevant in this topic. It was a gaffe that he meant to say 47 because 47 is exactly the number of states he had visited and meant to say.

    Here we’re talking about a long sentence, that was a mess and the clarification didn’t correct the statement. I mean I don’t know how else to express how different both statements are. Even brought up examples (Osama/Obama) about gaffes that people make and how they’re not the same.

    You keep typing the same thing over and over trying to explain yourself in a different way when you have both me and Ajolily trying to explain to you where we’re coming from.

    It’s a simple concept. If you don’t like Palin, then don’t vote for her in any primaries or in any election cycles. Other than that, if you don’t get where Palin is coming from, just accept that you don’t get it and move on.

Seriously, if you are such a nitpicky person, I fear you have bigger issues in life. It’s like Weiner – you’re just going to hit a brick and have to explode with the truth.

    HAHAHAHA don’t mind Cat. I just reported him. He needs to stop his rude comments. He thinks (wrongly) that I am Juarez and that Juarez is me. Apparently there were some people on this site that have been banned and have returned numerous times. The regulars can tell by their tone and written style. I can’t. But that’s the general info I have on the matter. I have never had multiple personalities and have only ever had one SN and email account on this site. So pay Catfish no attention or mind. I truly mean that. :)

    And I really have tried to see the reasoning behind your thinking in the whole Palin thing. However, I just don’t get it. Not because of not trying but purely because you’ve said the same thing about 50 times and I’ve responded and clearly we’re not going to agree on that.

    It’s more simple to just say that you were mad that Palin didn’t come out and say that she made a mistake. Case solved. However, when you go on what appears to be a Palin Rage Tour with what seems like a billion comments talking about ONE thing, then it just doesn’t reflect well on you. I don’t want that to come off as offensive so if it does, I’m sorry. However, I wish you would hold Obama to the same bar of perfection that you think Palin should achieve.

    Yeah, we’ve all been trying to figure out if she is a crazy person who also logs in as the cranky old man Juarez or if he is just pretending to be a gal. The WC character always talks about her M.A., yet strangely has no job at all. The best I can tell Juarez lives in a trailer down by the railroad tracks and lives mainly on hobo beans.

    Either way they can’t deal with someone in reality who doesn’t blindly follow a team. You’re either agree with the two of them or you are a liberal. They can’t process a world wherein one dilikes Palin, yet would vote for a sane Republican.

    Thanks, your right. I had only caught the shout out part the first time. Do you think she considers it a gotcha-type question after the fact since that’s the way they used it in the end and they are often trying to get her? I am of the opinion that most questions by the media are meant to catch politicians in a gotcha.

    Bennybombom said:
    She said a “Shout out gotcha type of question”And Revere didn’t warn the British…he answered a question at the point of a gun…that’s very different from:“Riding through town and warning the British with those bells and gunshots that they wouldn’t take our arms” Just saying……..

    How does answering the question at the point of a gun make the outcome different. He told/warned them and as ElCaptainAmerica said exaggerated it to warn them they couldn’t win. Same outcome as Palin outlined. You guys are splitting hairs and talking semantics. Perhaps she should take a clue from Obama and always use a teleprompter so she can not only be factual but have it well scripted. Would she do better than Obama that way? He messes up even when he uses one.

    I really see no problem with her messing this Paul Revere thing up. I think she sounded dopey talking about this crap but being an open minded lib im taking a different take on this. Do I like Sara? Nope. Do I think she’s gonna run nope. If she runs will she lose yep. But im gonna defend her on this bad reciting of american history. Its sooooo easy for us sitting back and listening to every word she says about certain subjects to hammer her. Im not out there reciting Paul Revere and I know a little about American history. Probably more than most of these critics who are jumping all over her. But she is out there saying these things, all they are doing is sitting back with there wikipedia and fact checking on her. I could do that to anyone and crush them. Not because im smarter but because I have that information available at my fingertips. Most of the media probably had no idea what she originally said was not accurate but 5 minutes after ohhhhhhh gotcha! She’s attempting to bring perspective and historical sites back into our minds. I see nothing wrong with that, I hope she just does a little more research into these historical sites and monuments in the future. She should be smarter than that and if she plans on running (which I don’t think she is) at least have some research done for her. Other than that I don’t see the big deal.

    No offense, but the old guard is losing its swagger. Palin is the new brand of libertarianism. I personally love it. She’s not perfect. However, I accept that going into it.

    Logic says: You’ve tried the Harvard and Columbia guy and he has failed. Now try the mainstream libertarian. She left her state with $12 billion in excess funds and she worked with Democrats more than she worked with R’s. Her movie will be a game changer.

Her difference is she has much more charisma than Ron Paul and less radical ideas. I use to think that there wasn’t a way in the world the the republicans would nominate her but not so sure anymore. She says dumb things sure, but so did George Bush and he got two terms. Hell she may be more articulate than Bush was. I don’t know though her baggage is so extensive and deep, I think she can have an influential outcome on who gets nominated but for her to run and get the nomination seems far out to me, but hell vie been wrong before!

    Since you’re a liberal, I can understand where you’re coming from on that (sorta). However, politically speaking, I don’t think she’s got many negatives. She does have libertarian leanings that are just more mainstream. I can guarantee you that she is the most LGBT friendly candidate – Tammy Bruce and old Hillary supporters (Hillbuzz) love her, along with the standards (GOPROUD). She’s backed Ryan’s plan and she’s the only candidate that Obama doesn’t bring up. Therefore you KNOW that the WH fears a run from her. Would she get it? I don’t know. I know that in the state of WI, we like our Governor (despite what’s being shown on national media). And Ryan always goes to Tea Party events. I just wouldn’t discount Palin so easily. If there are legit policy disagreements then I respect that. But her gaffes pale in comparison to Obama’s. Obama’s merely don’t get covered.

    There’s a point when arguing for something becomes counterproductive though. I understand that the same could be said for/against me, but I at least acknowledge that fact. If someone feels like Palin needs to apologize too them over something, that lets you know how far someone is into the Palin love/rage. As someone that likes Palin (among others), I don’t expect Palin to be perfect and frankly would hate it if she were. The real rage should be with Obama and his lack of a budget.

    What Palin said certainly isn’t what we were taught in grade school, but it is still factually correct.

    Historians agree: Palin was right about Revere

    POSTED AT 9:25 AM ON JUNE 6, 2011 BY ED MORRISSEY
    PRINTER-FRIENDLY

    One if by land, and two if by sea … and then what? According to historians interviewed by the Boston Herald, Paul Revere then warned the British not to challenge a roused and armed populace. That came as news to many observers who had rushed to criticize Sarah Palin for her response to a gotcha question at the Old North Church:

    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.

    Palin prompted howls of partisan derision when she said on Boston’s Freedom Trail 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.”

    I dont discount her and would actually love if she were the republican nominee. Talk about an entertaining election season holy crap! Ill disagree with you on the fact that she’s the only candidate Obama is not bringing up because she isn’t a candidate as we speak. I Truly believe that Obama would smoke her in a general election, and I think the mainstream right thinks this is the case as well. However I will say that if this economy keep puttering along like a turtle with constipation many republicans can beat Obama. I read something today that stated only one president in history has won with an unEmployment rate over 9% and that was FDR. Not sure if thats accurate but sounds like it to me. Don’t know if they kept employment rates very accurately before the 20th century but still I don’t discount anyone on the republican side with an economy like this.

    I am saying that because Obama is punting on actually being a leader, he will lose on that account. People voted for him (young people, African Americans, folks that were mad at Bush and his wars and Bush and his RINO tendencies) but he’s not going to have that save fever pitch. He’s no longer the first Black President to run. He now has a record. And a failing one. A shoe will beat him.

    “I’m not going to be out there judging individuals, sitting in a seat of judgment telling what they can and can’t do, should and should not do, but I certainly can express my own opinion here and take actions that I believe would be best for traditional marriage and that’s casting my votes and speaking up for traditional marriage that, that instrument that it’s the foundation of our society is that strong family and that’s based on that traditional definition of marriage, so I do support that.”

    No way……Obama and Palin agree……..OMGGGGGGGGGGGGG

    I dont discount her and would actually love if she were the republican nominee. Talk about an entertaining election season holy crap! Ill disagree with you on the fact that she’s the only candidate Obama is not bringing up because she isn’t a candidate as we speak. I Truly believe that Obama would smoke her in a general election, and I think the mainstream right thinks this is the case as well. However I will say that if this economy keep puttering along like a turtle with constipation many republicans can beat Obama. I read something today that stated only one president in history has won with an unEmployment rate over 9% and that was FDR. Not sure if thats accurate but sounds like it to me. Don’t know if they kept employment rates very accurately before the 20th century but still I don’t discount anyone on the republican side with an economy like this.

    At the time, I selfishly hoped Bush would get re-elected because I knew everything he did in his first term would catch up to him and his second term would be an unmitigated disaster and I wanted to see his face rubbed in the pile a chit that he created.

    I’ve come to regret feeling that way and now I’m hoping and praying that Obama doesn’t get re-elected because, after 12 solid years of failure, I really don’t like our chances of surviving as country with another 4 year term of failed, rudderless leadership.

    We need someone who has a clue in 2012, who isn’t an ideologue and isn’t caught up in all the hyper partisanship, or we’re toast. Our next President has to have a plan for saving our country. It’s obvious that the only plan Barack iBama ever had was to become famous. Mission accomplished…now go and host your own show on the Oprah Network.

    Naaa WCinCI as james carvel said famously its the economy stupid. If the employment rate drops to 7 percent or so before the election no shoe is gonna beat Obama. Thats a big if,but he’s a great campaigner and there is no way in hell hell he will lose if the economy is on the upswing. If its like it is? Well maybe a very expensive shoe could beat him:)

    Good job! Now, she still said she was in favor of banning gay marriage in 2008. You left that quote out. Let me help you…..

    “I am, in my own, state, I have voted along with the vast majority of Alaskans who had the opportunity to vote to amend our Constitution defining marriage as between one man and one woman. I wish on a federal level that that’s where we would go because I don’t support gay marriage,” Palin said.

    That’s not very libertarian or LGBT-friendly is it? I guess you’re right though. She sure sounds like a real hero for gay rights….

    But this hypocrisy is just truly too much. Enuf already—the more someone complains about the homos the more we should look under their bed

    She will not be the nominee. Stop being dumb…folks. Look at this — fresh from Rasmussen, the GOP friendly pollster.

    Rasmussen said:However, voters feel strongest that Palin, the Republican vice presidential nominee in 2008, is not qualified. Twenty-three percent (23%) say the former Alaska governor is qualified to serve as the nation’s chief executive, but 63% say she is not qualified. Palin is the best-known of the Republicans with just 15% undecided about her.

    I’m not for changing the institution of marriage either. That doesn’t mean that I don’t think gays have rights. I think Palin would be for some sort of new hybrid term. She applied the same rights that Obama did but at the state level. Check her record. Don’t make me do your lazy work. And yes, she has a hybrid libertarian mix when it applies to traditional marriage and I understand her “dilemma” surrounding it.

    Studies do exist that show that traditional marriage is the best for kids. Plain and simple.

    She’s loved by the gay community. Hillbuzz, GOPROUD, Tammy Bruce, etc.. Many of her supporters on HotAir and C4P are gay. Deal with it. :)

    Would you like to show me when Palin herself uttered that term? It doesn’t exist. Much like everything else you claim.

    I saw an MTV special, one of those True Life episodes, where it was about both gay relationships (3 guys living together wanting to add a 4th guy to the mix) and people that were bisexual.

Conservatives always fight these social issues to the last dying breath but they will lose. Society will pick up move on and leave them behind in the dust. Its been done over and over. Just like don’t ask don’t tell. It took years for this to be overturned but it did happen and I haven’t heard a thing about it since. Its just a memory and the conservatives who fought against it are as well. Same with the civil rights era, or blacks in the military or interracial marriage. Did Dems fight against these things sure.

    Name the number of times Obama has admitted a mistake. Go ahead, take your time, we’ll wait.

    He has insisted that the U.S. is one of the largest Muslim nations in the world, that Americans invented the automobile, and so many other factually incorrect statements that it boggles the mind, but he’s never admitted to being wrong.

    I dont defend 9.1% unemployment rates? Where did you get that from? I voted for Clinton when the unemployment rate was 5 % was that defending liberal policies? You probably would have voted for Reagan when the unemployment rate was 7% were you defending his policies? How can you possibly blame this employment rate soley on Obama? It was at least 7.5 % when he took freaking office. You are not thinking logically go read the history of the time between Carter and Reagans first term. The economy sucked. Was that Reagans fault? Im sure you would say no, so why do you blame Obama alone for this? Oh and by the way Go look at Germanys gdp to debt ratio and explain how this “socialist communist godless country is kicking our ass”. Doesn’t make a lot of sense since they have such a socialist economy and there is no way it should be growing according to conservatives.

It was at least 7.5 % when he took freaking office. You are not thinking logically go read the history of the time between Carter and Reagans first term. The economy sucked. Was that Reagans fault? Im sure you would say no, so why do you blame Obama alone for this? Oh and by the way Go look at Germanys gdp to debt ratio and explain how this “socialist communist godless country is kicking our ass”. Doesn’t make a lot of sense since they have such a socialist economy and there is no way it should be growing according to conservatives.

    I never said that it was only Obama’s fault. I said that it was primarily his fault for enacting failed policies.

    You vote for liberals. If you don’t like America, then why don’t you just move to Europe? I’ve been there and it’s lovely. Liberal policies, tons of debt…..you defend 9.1% unemployment and a failed leadership policy on everything else.

    Thats not what i got out of this quote dear. You have put the blame on all of Americas problems based soley on a liberal mindset and policies. This is ignorant and foolish. Since Reagans election in 1980 the republicans have had the white house 20 out of the last 30 years. If you go back to nixon in 68 its been 28 out of the last 42. We have had high debt in everyone of your conservative administrations. The only one who managed to balance the budget was Clinton. Is the Debt higher under Obama? Sure it is, but Bush ran up higher deficits than any president before him. This appears to be a trend based on government policy in general and not a certain political party or individual who gets the blame.

    I bet the British were really confused by that Second Amendment reference.

    Fact: The British spent allot of time disarming Americans at every chance they got. Back then the liberals were still in the closet and didn’t open their mouths. When they did Americans saw the threat and came up with the second Admendment and sent them packing back to their closets.

    Fact: George Soros internet fact check mouthpiece. Only thing is that Georgie boy is a sore loser and doesn’t know squat. Ask Glenn Beck for help or even Rush. So being your mentor (Georgie) that shows me dude that you also don’t know squat either. Sorry retool and try again later. Next time try to make sense of any topic here at Mediaite because even you are entitled to show us the others view.

    What the heck is Bernie talking about? I <3 watching Bill's show but I always skip the segments with Bernie as he can be such a buffoon.

  • LOGICandREASON

    I like Bernie Goldberg but I have never seen him look so much like an idiot. He says Sarah Palin Mangled The Paul Revere Story, but at the end the stupid old man admits he was not aware that Palin’s account of the Paul Revere Story for historically ACCURATE. Judgements before knowing the facts, and judging historic references without thorough knowledge of history.

    Who looks more foolish? Palin or Goldberg?

    Palin was right and Bernie didn’t know the whole story. Nice try.

    Here’s what you get when you get intellectually challenged individuals trying to justify the idiotic statements of someone they back, politically. They start this game of semantics. Paul Revere did not “Warn” the British, that the colonists had a militia of 500 coming to engage them. If he did he was a traitor. Can you imagine an American soldier telling a German officer, we have 500 troops waiting for you in that French town, over there? That would be treason. Now maybe Revere was captured and gave up the information, for whatever reason, fear for his life, to mislead the British, whatever, but he certainly “Warn” the British. It is all a semantical game, to twist words. If what Palin said was true, then Revere “Warned” the British just as Benedict Arnold warned the British, by joining their cause. Revere may have indeed informed the British about the American militia, and there are many reasons he may have had for doing so, but if the true reason was to “Warn” the British of American strength and location, then Revere is a traitor. Ask any military man what he thinks of “Warning” the enemy, and where that stands as far a patriotism is concerned.

    The other and more obvious retort to this idiotic justification of what Palin said is that in reality she didn’t even know that part of history. That even if you suscribed to the notion that Revere was “Warning” the British, which is absurd, Palin certainly had no clue that Revere was even detained or captured by the British. So don’t pass this game of semantic off as “LOGICand REASON”, because it is a far cry from that.

    I originally thought the governor was right, but on second thought, after researching the LSM facts, Sarah Palin was wrong.

    I mean, like the LSM points out 24/7, everyone knows that it was an Austrian speaking corpse man named Barack Obama who rode his trusty steed throughout the 57 states that dark night. (and was hoping to also ride through the country of Europe, but then the Brits caught him) ) And when captured by the British, Obama signed a written confession and dated it 2008.

    “Do not fear the enemy, for your enemy can only take your life. It is far better that you fear the media, for they will steal your honor. That awful power, the public opinion of a nation, is created in America by a horde of ignorant, self-complacent simpletons who failed at ditching and shoemaking and fetched up in journalism on their way to the poorhouse.” Mark Twain

    Thanks for the clarification there “OLD” Duffer. I thought maybe you had lost it.

    First here is the “gotcha” question, exact words;

    “What have you seen so far today, and what are you going to take away from your visit?”

    She wasn’t even asked about Paul Revere in the first place!!

    This is her reply, these are her EXACT words;
    ~~~~~~~~~~­~~~~~~~~
    “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.”
    ~~~~~~~~~~­~~~~~~~~~~­~~~~~~~~~~­~~~~
    I challenge ANYONE to find anything historically correct in this statement, with the exception that he rode a horse.

    AND…..She could not even remember Paul Revere’s NAME!!;

    “He who warned, uh, the British”

    Pathetic!

    THEN she doubles down with this;

    “Part of his ride was to warn the British that were already there that ‘hey, you’re not going to take American arms, you are not going to beat our own well-armed persons individual private militia that we have.’”

    Palin further claimed ” I know my American history”.

    She doesn’t know “history” from a “hysterectomy”

    Keep in mind this is after she said THIS most recently about the Staue of Liberty;

    ~~~~~~~~~~­~~~~~~~~~~­~~~~~~~~~~­~~~~~~~~
    “Lady Liberty is the symbol of unity and friendship we have with other freedom-lo­ving nations. It’s also a “warning” of sorts, as France encouraged us to keep democracy alive as the recipient of this gift… basically telling us not to blow it. Thank you for this reminder, France!” she wrote on her SarahPAC.c­om website.

    ~~~~~~~~~~­~~~~~~~~~~­~~~~~~~~~~­~~~~~~~~~~­~~~~~~~~~~­~~~~~~~~~~­~~~~~~~~~

    AND …THIS last September;
    ~~~~~~~~~~­~~~~~~~~~~­~~~~~~~~~~­~~~~~
    Sarah Palin appeared this weekend in Anchorage with her pal Glenn Beck. People waited in long lines to pay up to $225 for tickets, as the Anchorage Daily News reported. During the show, Palin said to the cheers of the crowd:

    “This Statue of Liberty was gifted to us by foreign leaders, really as a warning to us. It was a warning to us to stay unique and to stay exceptiona­l from other countries. Certainly not to go down the path of other countries that adopted socialist policies,” Palin said to cheers from the crowd.”

    WHAT countries had “socialist policies” in 1870

    Clearly and well stated truth Angus and yet my fellow Rep/Cons will continue to back and support this dim bulb for reasons I just can’t understand.
