Palin Fans Deface Paul Revere Wikipedia Page

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the you-can't-make-this-up dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Fans of Sarah Palin were found to be changing the article on Paul Revere to make it fit their idol's view that Paul Revere was not warning the American colonists that the British were coming, but rather warning the British were not 'going to taking away our [guns]'."

    Or perhaps Paul Revere himself will change to conform to Wikireality.

    Who among us hasn't heard the story of his famous Midnight Ride, where he rode up to the British screaming "You're coming! You're coming!"?

    Paul Revere was not warning the American colonists that the British were coming, but rather warning the British were not 'going to taking away our [guns]'."

    In AD 1775 War was Beginning.
    John Hancock: What Happen?
    Paul Revere: Somebody set us up the cannon!
    British: All of your forts are belong to us! Ha ha ha ha!
    Samuel Adams: Take off every HORSE!
    Paul Revere: For great justice!
