This is a perfect example of how the MSM not only fails at journalism but created the MYTH that Sarah Palin is a respected voice in America.

In this clip they literally portray Sarah Palin's absurd version of the history of Paul Revere's historic ride as "sparking debate"...And notice how at the end they claim it is not known if it was Palin's supporters or her detractors who were trying to change the Paul Revere Wikipedia page!

1. So now it's just her word against theirs?
Should we just agree to disagree? How about we introduce that attitude into schools (for example, Texas schools). "Teacher, I know you say the world is round, but Sarah Palin said it's flat (and now so does Wikipedia), so can we just have a healthy debate?"

2. A press that never corrected
a President for claiming he found WMD in Iraq isn't going to correct a political dingbat over a little historical revisionism if it feeds the news cycle.

3. This is symptomatic of the deeper issue
and a text book example of what happens when you fracture the language, as was finalized on 911.

And it's the primary reason this will all not end well. There is a struggle going on attempting to actually redefine the language, and this is part and parcel in action.

5. The debate/contreversy here is the same as evolution vs ID/creationism...
there is none. But...they keep repeating it over and over to make one.

Facts, we don't need no stinkin' facts!

6. I heard that Paul Revere
Rode his custom Harley across the countryside to warn the colonists of the British. He was using a bullhorn to shout, "Two Arms!" which meant everyone needed two guns to fight.

Paul Revere was heard saying that he likes to smell fumes emitted from hogs.

As Maverick McCain would say, you can put lipstick on a hog, but it is still a hog.

8. those who follow her are idiot assholes
this country could do without. Since we have no choice but to deal with these morons I say we keep marginalizing them, speak over them and do not give them an inch. We know they are liars and sociopaths so there is no more debating nor should there be an respect for them.

11. All for a buck
Change history to agree with what this brain vacant woman has to say? I'm glad the Wikipedia page stepped in and locked the page - but sadly, after 60 attempts. There's money to be made hitching up to her star and that is the ONLY thing of ANY importance in life. So what's altering a little history anyway?
