Palin knew Revere better than Obama knew Lincoln

Palin knew Revere better than Obama knew Lincoln

Obama flubbed his history.  Via Ed Morrissey, Obama inaccurately called Abraham Lincoln the founder of the Republican Party:

Not true! Doesn’t Obama know history?

So now the media will erupt for weeks on end about what an “idiot” and “fool” and “know-nothing” Obama is, just like it erupted over Sarah Palin’s (accurate) comments about Paul Revere?

It’s even worse, because Palin’s (accurate) comments were made in an on-the-fly interview whereas Obama’s were in a prepared speech.

And all the enlightened conservative pundits who bashed Palin endlessly over Revere now will denounce Obama’s historical ignorance, right?

I know, I’m talking to myself again.

Update:  Sarah Palin may be the one liberals have been waiting for

Update 9-10-11:  NPR PBS has edited out the Lincoln error from its transcript of the speech (h/t Instapundit).
