Goldfarb's Killin' Em

This is pretty funny.

Barack used the following metaphor in describing the need to be prepared to fight in the general election:
If they bring a knife to the fight, we bring a gun.
And now the wingnuts are trying to turn the details of his metaphor into a demonstration of gun law hypocrisy.

Witness the Official John McCain Blog, under the auteurship of Michael Goldfarb, making these two incomparably dumb-ass "arguments":
First, Barack Obama has a long track record as a proponent of stringent gun-control regulations--to the point that a questionnaire filled out by his staff, and with the candidate's handwriting on it, stated that Obama favored a ban on the manufacture, sale, and distribution of handguns. Can we assume that Senator Obama now opposes efforts to ban the possession of handguns?

Second, would Obama be carrying a concealed weapon to this fight? Will he have a permit?
Keep it up! Yer gettin' traction. I should start keeping a list of these handfuls of tossed pasta that get thrown at the wall to see what sticks.

Update: Michael Stickings has found way more lunacy on this topic. Someone's even claiming that Obama, via this quote, was declaring "jihad."
