So Paul Revere's ride consisted of him riding horseback through town while sending warning shots and ringing bells and warning the British that they were not going to take away our arms?
What a mental picture that makes!
An indication of palin's mind, maybe?
Maybe it wasn't a horse he rode after all...maybe it was a reindeer as that would explain the bells. Sorry cannot explain the warning shots.
Revere did not shout the phrase later attributed to him ("The British are coming!"), largely because the mission depended on secrecy and the countryside was filled with British army patrols; also, most colonial residents at the time considered themselves British as they were all legally British subjects. Revere's warning, according to eyewitness accounts of the ride and Revere's own descriptions, was "The Regulars are coming out.
Yes Palin, gunshots would have been very secretive.
He who warned, uh, the…the British that they weren’t gonna be takin’ away our arms, uh, by ringin’ those bells and um by makin’ sure that as he’s ridin’ his horse through town to send those warnin’ shots and bells that uh we were gonna be secure and we were gonna be free…and we were gonna be armed.
On the surface, it's very funny. But for someone that far too many people see as a legitimate contender for the highest elected office in this country, it's pathetic.

And then if we take into consideration that Paul Revere was a silversmith who probably made silver bells, well, there's your Christmas Carol, "Silver Bells"! S. Palin

Don't you know anything at all about metaphors? Do they teach about those these days?

Please do elucidate.
Point out the 'metaphors' in the transcript.
There aren't any. She was just winging it, apparently with a broken wing.
