If they bring a knife to the fight, we bring a gun,” Obama said in Philadelphia last night. “Because from what I understand, folks in Philly like a good brawl. I’ve seen Eagles fans.”

Kudos to 74 year old retired Army Colonel Bill Badger who helped subdue Jared Loughner.

There was a couple standing next to me and I was speaking to them. When he started to shoot, I remember stepping back a little. I would say he was about 25 feet away from me," Badger said. "I turned and saw him running down the line of people on the chairs. He ran between me and the store. Someone hit him with a chair and he flinched a little. That's when I grabbed his left arm. Someone grabbed his right arm and we got him to the ground. The other guy put his knee into the back of his neck and I grabbed him around the throat. We held him until police got there.

LOL! Do you just copy/paste or actually visit these links? Read the comments, especially the most voted up comment.

Why would I waste my time reading the comments on a Youtube ?

Since Huffpo won't allow me to reference their own use of the targeting metaphor against the Tea Party, I'm posting it here:

Now you find all uses of the word "target" offensive? Really?

tomder55 · Jan 10, 2011, 03:19 PM

Yeah... the Kossaks have been scrubbing their site too. Markos Moulitsas put a "target" on Giffords too.

Not me. I understand the marshal metaphor has been a part of our history since... well... at least since we decided the national anthem should have rockets and bombs .

It doesn't offend me either. I told a Huffposer that both sides and the media use such imagery and found it right there on Huffpo... who decided they didn't want their secret out whilst everyone was busy knee-capping Sarah Palin. Even the irony of eviscerating Palin while decrying violent rhetoric is lost on them.

By the way, the award for the most ridiculous 'logic' behind the shooting so far goes to Rep. James Clyburn, who blames it on the reading of the constitution in the House.

“All [of] this stuff taking place in the Chambers the other day, when the Constitution was being read — all that stuff is uncalled for,” Rep. Clyburn (D-SC) told the Ed Schultz radio program.

Also kind of ironic that he was making that comment on the show of the guy who last week vowed to "fight these (Republican) bastards " every night on his show.

From all that I've read ,this clown has had a grudge against Giffords since 2007... long before the Tea Party and Palin came on the scene. He met her at one of these meet your Rep gatherings then where he asked her a question ,and did not like her answer.

Ed Schultz... hmm... now there's someone who doesn't flame!!
