"Obama said he'd bring a gun"-- This is all McCain's got?

By GottaLaff

No, seriously, is he out of his mind? John Sidney McDesperate is really reaching now:

Barack Obama said [this] to counter Republican attacks: “If they bring a knife to the fight, we bring a gun,” Obama said at a Philadelphia fundraiser Friday night. “Because from what I understand folks in Philly like a good brawl. I’ve seen Eagles fans.”

The comment drew some laughs and applause. But it also struck a chord with his Republican rival. John McCain’s campaign immediately accused the Democratic candidate of playing the politics of fear.

Let's recap slowly: McBush just accused... Barack Obama... the guy who wants to get out of Iraq... the guy who didn't sing "bomb, bomb, bomb Iran"... of playing the politics of... f-e-a-r. Pot. Kettle. Black. Go away.

They also mentioned that Obama said he would use a gun that under would be illegal under Obama’s plans to cut down on illegal firearms.

One: It was a joke. See, a joke is when you exaggerate a situation to induce laughs, see. Two: He didn't mean it literally because, Three: See One. Four: Huh?

“Barack Obama’s call for ‘new politics’ is officially over. In just 24 hours, Barack Obama attacked one of America’s pioneering women CEOs, rejected a series of joint bipartisan town halls, and said that if there’s a political knife fight, he’d bring a gun,” McCain campaign spokesman Tucker Bounds said in a statement.

Obama made the comment in the context of warning donors that the general election campaign against McCain could get ugly. “They’re going to try to scare people. They’re going to try to say that ‘that Obama is a scary guy,’” he said. A supporter yelled out a deep accented “Don’t give in!”

“I won’t but that sounded pretty scary. You’re a tough guy,” Obama said.

You're tough too, Barack. Keep up the good work. Don't give in.
