The Chicago Way: Obama quotes The Untouchables [Karl]

Yesterday in Philadelphia, Barack Obama lifted one of Sean Connery’s lines from The Untouchables:

“If they bring a knife to the fight, we bring a gun,” Obama said.

Another Connery line from the same movie is the signature for my ongoing look at “the Chicago Way” here at pw.  But the screenplay was written by David Mamet, who recently declared that he is no longer a “brain-dead liberal.”

    Of course, Obama wants to one of the select elect to be able to bring a gun to a knife fight…

  2. Roboc says:

    He can afford to talk tough without packing, he has the Secret Service, and I’ll bet their armed to the teeth.

  3. Techie says:

    Of course, that’s not how we deal with terrorists or rogue nations.

    Obama sounds like quite the warmonger there………

  4. klrtz1 says:

    Obama just said he’d go to any length to win. He never learned to fight fair. Rules are for the other guy. He’s just a typical Democrat that way.

  5. ahem says:

    He’s not butch enough to use that line.

  6. Techie says:

    The next part of the line is:

    “He sends one of your men to the hospital, you send two of his to the morgue. That’s the Chicago Way, and that’s how you beat Capone!”

  7. LazyE4 says:

    Why is it blacks are so eager to use weapons?

  8. Pablo says:

    Didn’t Hillary get excoriated cause of an assasination remark? Now this guy is talking about guns and knifefights while fistpounding his wife on stage…………That and the fact he attends a racist church is excused while if Clinton or McCain had attended one they would have been run outa the race?????? I guess if your black you can get away with murder as OJ proved.

  12. See, now that’s how you troll. A little snark, a lotta Moby. So much better than we’ve been getting here lately.

    Almost good enough for a YouTube comment. Almost.

  13. Radish says:

    Where’s he going to buy a gun after he shuts down all the shops within 5 miles of a school or park?

  14. LazyE4 says:

    When I troll on DailyKos on the Obama threads I just call people rich and white while telling them they can not understand. Then go into diatribes about hating capitalism and Rethuglicans while preaching about how tolerant I am.

    And this differentiates you from the bulk of the KosKids *how?*
