I Didn't Catch Her Historical Reference, She Must Be Retarded

Ok, so I know I said I had no time for posting today but I can't leave this one be without mention. Let's play a game called, "I didn't catch her historical reference, so she must be retarded."

Sarah Palin said at a TEA PARTY rally, "Don't party like it's 1773 yet" and the liberal blogosphere went flippin' nuts over it. 

From Allah:

Yesterday, at a Tea Party Express event in Nevada, she warned the crowd not to get overconfident, telling them they won’t be able to “party like it’s 1773″ until a bunch of tea-party candidates are safely elected. Lefty insta-meme: Idiot Sarah Palin doesn’t know that the Declaration of Independence was signed in 1776! Because, after all, nothing happened in 1773 that could possibly be worth referencing at a tea-party rally, right?

Some prominent lefty twitter responses:

Daily Kos creator Markos Moulitsas: "Sarah Palin to supporters: "Don't party like it's 1773 yet". http://is.gd/g7rRb. She's so smart."

Gwen Ifill who works for PBS and moderated the 2008 VP debate: "Sarah Palin: party like its 1773! ummm,"

And from Perfunction, the first link:

I mean, hell, it must be extremely embarrassing to have your obvious ignorance of 5th grade American history revealed by the likes of the Daily Kos founder Markos Moulitsas and PBS anchor & presidential debate moderator Gwen Ifill. HAHAHAHAHA, what a freakin' dumb ass! What happened in 1773, indeed!

oh, wait:

Maybe Palin's smarter than I give her credit for. The left/media consistently plays into her hands and ends up looking foolish for it.

Thanks to Texas4Palin for the link and for quoting me. Welcome to T4P readers, have a look around.

Isn't it "Party like it's 1999"?

retarded doeesn't mean stupid. kind of puts you in the same category as Sarah Palin, i.e. you know nothing.
I'm not a fan of Sarah Palin. Just a parent of a child with special needs who is sick and tired of seeing the word retarded used as pejorative.

@CF Hahaha yeah it is

@Mike I wrote a long response to your comment but for some reason it didn't post. I'm too lazy to write it again, so I'll get the gist. If you're going to be sensitive about my politically incorrect tendencies, I'd suggest you read elsewhere. I'm loathe to lose a reader, but that's the only solution I've got. It's nothing personal, but this is my voice and I cuss a lot, I'm racially insensitive at times, and say things like fag and retard (or variants, such as faggy faggy tard balls).
