Barack Obama vs. Philadelphia Sports Fans

This happened the other night in Philly:

“If they bring a knife to the fight, we bring a gun,” Obama said at a fund-raiser in Philadelphia on Friday, employing a phrase that could have been lifted from a gangster movie.

“Because from what I understand, folks in Philly like a good brawl. I’ve seen Eagles fans,” he said, referring to the city’s football team.

A "shocking" Obama quote! Sensitive Philadelphia sports fans insulted by a totally innocuous statement! I just love it when two of my biggest pet peeves come together! I can't wait to hear Howard Eskin scream about this for an hour on my way home today.

This is without a doubt the best ammo yet for my Obama/McNabb Grand Parallel argument.

It was lifted from a movie - Casino, to be exact.
