...Late last week, the former Alaskan governor was visiting Boston when she now famously talked about Paul Revere's midnight ride. Instead of mentioning "one if by land or two if by sea" or Revere's ride to warn the colonists that the British were coming, Palin instead said that Revere rode to warn off the British.....
.....Now, some of her supporters want to rewrite history to make it reflect Palin's unique version of events. And they have been trying for days to get their changes onto the Paul Revere page on Wikipedia.

This is just the way that Republicans have rewritten the history of Ronald Reagan. They've made him into some superstar, when in reality, he saddled our country with huge debts.

If they are still confused about Paul Revere, they should visit the PaulRevereHouse website for real facts, and pay special attention to the section on the Midnight Ride. (Hint: The real story has nothing in common with Sarah Palin's fable.)
