The American Center for Political Tautology has announced its discovery of new, indisputable evidence of a vast right-wing conspiracy. "We're always ready to believe that such a conspiracy exists," said

Now we have more proof."Teller's new report lists more than 100 web sites, for example this one, containing a "deposition" given by Paul Revere to the Massachusetts Provincial Congress. In it, Revere explains the events following his capture by the British.
I told him they would miss their aim. He said they should not, they were only waiting for some deserters they expected down the road. I told him I knew better, I knew what they were after; that I had alarmed the country all the way up that their boats were caught aground, and I should have 500 men there soon.
“This can be used by right-wingers to argue that there is some merit in Sarah Palin's statement that Revere
"...warned the British that they weren't gonna be takin' away our arms by ringing those bells, and makin' sure as he's riding his horse through town to send those warning shots and bells that we were going to be sure and we were going to be free, and we were going to be armed."
While the document does not say anything about ringing bells and sending warning shots, and while Revere's statements that he had 'alarmed the countryside' and 'should have 500 men there soon' are untrue, according to Revere's own account, the fact that he misled the British could be considered a warning that the Colonists were going to be free and were going to be armed.
"Since our research shows that Sarah Palin is manifestly an idiot," said Teller, "any web page on a supposedly neutral site that could be used, in any way, no matter how much exaggeration and interpretation was required, to argue that anything that Palin has even the smallest basis in fact--well, the web page must clearly be a lie. The fact that this particular lie is repeated so many times on the Internet, and can even be found in the Internet Archives, can only mean that the right-wing is able to take over any part of the Internet whenever they want, and make it say whatever they want.
"This is a threat to our liberty, and something must be done about it!"
