Palin Fans Deface Paul Revere Wikipedia Page

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]'."

    She would win. Anyone with a "D" next to their name is toxic, radioactive to politics. Without going down the list of who started it and when, the fact is most American view the Democrats as owning this economic failure. Bush, if he could run a 3rd term might as well win the election.

    WoW! I never realized people like you existed. You are perfect. Everyone who disagrees with you is a Moron. If only more people thought exactly like you we could solve the world's problems. Yes, everyone associated with Sarah Palin really is a complete fricking moron who can barely put on a pair of non matching shoes, let alone type. Yes, editing wikipedia is an extremely hard task, that only the most enlightened liberals such as yourself are able to carry out. I am guessing from your rightfully condensending tone that you are a graduate of some Ivory league university someplace in the Northeast. (if not it is Harvard's loss).

    You pretty much have the world figured out. Are you going to be writing any books explaining your philosophy for the benefit of people-kind (don't want to be sexist) anytime soon. I hope so, and can't wait to get my copy.

    "But Cornell law professor William Jacobson, who asserted last week that Palin was correct.."
    “It seems to be a historical fact that this happened,” he said. “A lot of the criticism is unfair and made by people who are themselves ignorant of history.”

    "Boston University history professor Brendan McConville said, “Basically when Paul Revere was stopped by the British, he did say to them, ‘Look, there is a mobilization going on that you’ll be confronting,’ and the British are aware as they’re marching down the countryside, they hear church bells ringing — she was right about that — and warning shots being fired. That’s accurate.”

    That's kinda more accurate than what really happened actually. I do not think you know the meaning of that phrase. I'm quite sure that I don't know the meaning of it.
