Palin Fans Deface Paul Revere Wikipedia Page 767
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]'."

I'm guessing you're a fan...In fact, you may actually be her, judging by your meticulous grammar and extraordinary vocabulary.

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!"?

I just checked the Paul Revere page and there don't seem to be huge sections devoted to:
- Paul Revere in Animé.
- Paul Revere in Manga
- Paul Revere in Western Animation
- Paul Revere in Comics
- Paul Revere in Graphic Novels
Truly, an e-atrocity. I assume the Palinistas deleted them all.

The title to the linked article is 'Palin Fans Trying to Edit Wikipedia Paul Revere Page' Being fans of Palin it is perfectly understandable and likely they got confused and gave up.
Not their fault. Over centuries liberals intentionally decreased the readability of English texts by introducing foreign words.

animal who was groomed for the spot. What did Palin have over Obama before the election? Actual experience being a government executive, and having fairly won at least one election as a non-incumbent. Yes, the presidency was the first non-incumbent election Obama ever won without first having the viable competition eliminated (Alice Palmer, Jack Ryan), letting him run effectively unopposed.
And then he basically spent his only two years in the US Senate running for President.
As ill-qualified as Palin is, she's still far better than Obama.
