"This Statue of Liberty was gifted to us by foreign leaders, really as a warning to us, it was a warning to us to stay unique and to stay exceptional from other countries. Certainly not to go down the path of other countries that adopted socialist policies," Palin said to cheers from the crowd.

WTF?

The French gave us the statue in the 18th century to warn us against becoming socialist?  I mean, is there any evidence of this at all, seeing as how most people had never even heard of "socialism" at the time?

I just love how these teabaggers write their own history.
