Re: S.C judge Ginsburg.

Yeah, it was a pretty lame remark. Coming from a person who one might hope deals in not in assumptions and summations, but facts.
I too find Trumps campaign rethoric appalling, but I can easily find it in Hillary, Obama, and many politicians. It seems anything is fair in the campaign season. If you are to hold one to a standard, why not all, you know, just like our laws, huh  

Anyway, maybe we should have a senility litmus test for these oldsters...
For quite frankly, times change, and so should our "constitutional" laws based upon more current political/societal views of its citizenry....

I dunno, I'll open that for debate, but I think it's fair to say dinosaurs and buggy whips are not current, anymore

I was hoping for context, I know sarcasm.....  

Thanks Steve....

Not that I think it matters to Botheads, they read, black or white, hot or cold, democrats or republican...... And call it intellectual honesty.
This quote, and the twisting of it to fit their agenda, only exemplifies the wrongness of Ruth uddering such personal opines based on nothing but speculation and a distaste for Donald, how these folk think, or don't think, depending on what your definition of thinking is-is

Reminds me of a solder who said, I might not agree with what you say, but I will fight the enemy to defend our freedom to speak.

Even funnier in lingerie.

Q. Did President Obama once say of Republicans: “If they bring a knife to the fight, we bring a gun.”

A: Yes. Obama made those remarks at a fundraiser in Philadelphia during the 2008 presidential campaign. He was paraphrasing a quote from the 1987 mob movie "The Untouchables."

FULL QUESTION

Good evening: A WGN talk show was trying to draw a direct comparison between Pres. Obama and Sarah Palin in BOTH having contributed to the hatred across the country:

The host said while Palin had her crosshairs, Pres. Obama has said (meaning Republicans): "If they bring knives, we will use guns."

I follow politics closely and cannot remember seeing or hearing such a statement, and the show did not site a year or source.

Thanks if you can help, as I'm in a debate with the show host.

FULL ANSWER

We have received a lot of questions about Obama's quote since the Jan. 8 shootings in Tucson, Ariz., which left six people dead, injured Democratic Rep. Gabrielle Giffords and sparked a national debate about the tone of political discourse.

One reader asked if Obama was misquoted or if the quote was taken out of context, because "it just doesn't sound like Obama." He indeed said it at a 2008 fundraiser in Philadelphia, but the quote may not "sound like Obama" because it was first uttered by Sean Connery in "The Untouchables" — a 1987 movie about Eliot Ness, a federal agent in Chicago who was credited with bringing down mobster Al Capone. Connery played Jim Malone, an honest, tough, Irish American cop recruited by Ness (played by Kevin Costner) to help deal with Chicago mobsters. Connery's character said this in the movie: "Here's how you get him. He pulls a knife, you pull a gun. He sends one of yours to the hospital, you send one of his to the morgue. That's the Chicago way!"



   Chozick, June 13, 2008: He [Obama] warned that the general election campaign 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 donor yelled out a deep accented “Don’t give in!”

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

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