Michelle Bachmann's ignorance about the American Revolution


Retweet | Reddit | Facebook | Tumblr

This would be so amusing if she wasn't the leader of the tea party in the house and thus a pre-eminent expert on the constitution and the American revolution.

"What I love about New Hampshire and what we have in common is our extreme love for liberty," the potential GOP presidential candidate said. "You're the state where the shot was heard around the world in Lexington and Concord. And you put a marker in the ground and paid with the blood of your ancestors the very first price that had to be paid to make this the most magnificent nation that has ever arisen in the annals of man in 5,000 years of recorded history."
The battles of Lexington and Concord took place near Boston in Massachussetts.
