Palin's Latest Rogue Gaffe

 Gaffe may be quite the understatement!!!
 Total screw up is closer to the facts.

=====================
Palin's Latest Rogue Gaffe
Geoffrey Dunn - Award-winning journalist, filmmaker and historian
Posted: November 30, 2009 03:32 AM - http://www.huffingtonpost.com/geoffrey-dunn/palins-late...


There have been so many lies and distortions pointed out in Sarah Palin's Going Rogue since it was released last week that her memoir has already become something of a gag line.

But perhaps the most embarrassing gaffe so far is her mis-attributed quote to UCLA basketball legend John Wooden.

As the epigram to Chapter Three, "Drill, Baby, Drill," Palin assigns the following remarks to the Hall of Fame hoops coach:


Our land is everything to us... I will tell you one of the things we remember on our land. We remember our grandfathers paid for it--with their lives.


Only the quote wasn't by John Wooden. It was written by a Native American activist named John Wooden Legs in an essay entitled "Back on the War Ponies," which appeared in a left-wing anthology, We Are the People: Voices from the Other Side of American History, edited by Nathaniel May, Clint Willis, and James W. Loewen.

Here's the full quote:


Our land is everything to us. It is the only place in the world where Cheyennes talk the Cheyenne language to each other. It is the only place where Cheyennes remember the same things together. I will tell you one of the things we remember on our land. We remember our grandfathers paid for it--with their life. My people and the Sioux defeated General Custer at the Little Big Horn.


Oops! That's not quite the sentiment that Sister Sarah was trying to convey ......

 

Hmmmm...http://thinkexist.com/quotes/john_wooden/4.html

John Wooden quotes:

“Our land is everything to us... I will tell you one of the things we remember on our land. We remember that our grandfathers paid for it - with their lives.”
 Anand_Singh John Wooden quote


 Gee. do you suppose Huffington may not have actually checked all their facts?   :rotf:

Facts are to libs what words were to Humpty Dumpty in Alice in Wonderland:
Quote
‘When I use a word,’ Humpty Dumpty said in rather a scornful tone, ‘it means just what I choose it to mean—neither more nor less.’

‘The question is,’ said Alice, ‘whether you can make words mean so many different things.’

‘The question is,’ said Humpty Dumpty, ‘which is to be master— that's all.’

I did my own research (allways the best way)! This 'Anand Singh' guy got the name wrong, it really was a John Wooden Legs (a Native American) quote from "Back on the War Ponies". Not John Wooden the basketball coach, sorry.

So, you can prove that John Wooden never said those words?

No, my friends, there’s only one really progressive idea. And that is the idea of legally limiting the power of the government. That one genuinely liberal, genuinely progressive idea — the Why in 1776, the How in 1787 — is what needs to be conserved. We need to conserve that fundamentally liberal idea. That is why we are conservatives. --Bill Whittle

Complain all you want to, DUmmies.

Fact is, Sarah is in Tempe, AZ today to sign her book.

People started lining up YESTERDAY at 0800 to buy the book and get her signature.

The first person in line drove in from Orange County, CA.

I don't see that kind of draw for ANY of your icons.

Help keep America beautiful...deface a liberal.

The Democrat and Republican parties are simply the left and right wings of the same bird of prey.

The road to freedom is paved with dead liberals.
