Blogger Markos Moulitsas of the Daily Kos and PBS host Gwen Ifill could barely contain themselves when they came across an apparent elementary historical-knowledge gaffe by tea party favorite Sarah Palin, but it turns out the left-leaning commentators were the ones with egg on their faces.
Moulitsas – a major power-broker in the Democratic Party’s left-wing base – dashed off a message to his thousands of followers through the Internet social network Twitter after Palin told tea party activists in Nevada, “Don’t party like it’s 1773 yet,” reported the blogger who uses the pen name Cuffy Meigs.
Moulitsas sneered, “She’s so smart.”
Ifill wrote: “Sarah Palin: party like its 1773! Ummm.”
Others mocked Palin with comments such as “uhhh” and “[expletive] happened in 1773?”
Palin presumably knows the U.S. was born in 1776. But what Moulitsas and his crew didn’t recall was that 1773 was the year of the Boston Tea Party, the inspiration for the grass roots movement that is threatening to sweep the Democratic Party from power in Congress next month.
Palin eventually responded with a tweet of her own on the matter: “Gwen Ifill, et al… Really? Silly.”

Liberal Bias & the stupids!
Sarah Palin exposed these two mental retards for the fools which they are!
What a combination to put on the same show!
Blogger Markos Moultisas of the Daily Kos( who reminds me of James McPherson the mentally challenged one who post regularly on this site) & PBS Host Gwen Ifill a Liberal Progressive who can not think & speak at the same time.
Possibly a refresher course in U.S, History may benefit these two mentally challenged individuals?
One, two or ten of these liberal fool, I take Palin all day long!!
DailyKooks and Morons.Org as if anybody with a brain gives a hoot what they babble about.
Good for Palin, the retards had no clue…… They still don't as do the current squatters in Congress. We need to eliminate them all and put people in office who listen to the people.. This is not their government, it belongs to the people……
Don't sell Sarah short. She is one shrewd woman who thinks outside the box, scaring the politicians in both parties who are only comfortable inside their box (beltway). This won't be the last time she shows them up!
As a liberal, let me say that I sincerely hope Palin runs for president. I don't think she'd take the pay cut, but with her ego, who knows?
James i'm not sure that she really wants to run!
True it most definitely would be a pay cut for her. The fact is that The Obama Administration,
Democrats of which i include you fear that she may run.
Very smug of you james. She would probably shellac em!!
Judging by the results of her already-cancelled "reality" show, I have my doubts. But I do think there's some chance the half-term governor (a span that in her case actually represents longevity) could win the GOP nomination, pretty much by default–and, again, that's my hope and the hope of every liberal I know.
