I don't hate her and of the female politicians, or former one, from the moment I saw her I saw a MILF! I'd still hit it. I just don't like her ignorance.
As for her getting it right and knowing more than most, that's BS. I love the spin that followed the next day and how she was coached to say the story she supposedly meant to say. Look at what she said then the spin that followed.
THE STATEMENT
"He warned the British they weren't going to be taking away our arms by ringing those bells and making sure as he was riding his horse through town to send those warning shots and bells that, uh, we were gonna be secure and we were gonna be free."
THE SPIN BELOW
Sarah Palin's statement that Revere warned the British that the colonial militias were waiting seemed odd.
Surprise! Sarah Palin Was Right About Paul Revere

Not having any real reason to look into it any deeper, Sarah Palin's statement that Revere warned the British that the colonial militias were waiting seemed odd. But it appears that the popular version is not complete. In fact, as pointed out at Conservatives4Palin, Revere did in fact tell the British that the colonial militias, who had been alerted, were waiting for them. Here is the original historical text written by Revere (spelling in original, bold added): "I observed a Wood at a Small distance, & made for that. When I got there, out Started Six officers, on Horse back,and orderd me to dismount;-one of them, who appeared to have the command, examined me, where I came from,& what my Name Was? I told him. it was Revere, he asked if it was Paul? I told him yes He asked me if I was an express? I answered in the afirmative. He demanded what time I left Boston? I told him; and aded, that their troops had catched aground in passing the River, and that There would be five hundred Americans there in a short time, for I had alarmed the Country all the way up. He imediately rode towards those who stoppd us, when all five of them came down upon a full gallop; one of them, whom I afterwards found to be Major Mitchel, of the 5th Regiment, Clapped his pistol to my head, called me by name, & told me he was going to ask me some questions, & if I did not give him true answers, he would blow my brains out. He then asked me similar questions to those above. He then orderd me to mount my Horse, after searching me for arms. . ."
Then Fox gives her the opportunity to show herknowledge of history a couple of days later. However, what's funny is she claims she wasn't wrong and she was asked a "Gotcha" question. Yes, this is from The Daily Show, but see what the gotcha question was.
