Obama promotes guns
Posted by Richard on June 18, 2008
Sen. Barack Obama decided to sound tough at a Philadelphia fundraiser:
“If they bring a knife to the fight, we bring a gun,” Obama said. “Because from what I understand folks in Philly like a good brawl. I’ve seen Eagles fans.”
Drew at Ace of Spades nailed this one:
Now, it’s a kind of funny thing for him to say at a fundraiser but consider two things.
If a Republican had used a gun metaphor against Obama or any Democrat, the world would have come to an end. The press and the Democrats (pardon the redundancy) would go batshit crazy about it and my guess is McCain would borrow Obama’s bus to throw the offender under it.
Secondly, it’s great for Obama to talk all tough but there’s the little part about him not being man enough to take up McCain’s joint appearance challenge.
