Man's Finger Bitten Off in Scuffle at Health Care Rally (moveon shows its teeth)

THOUSAND OAKS -- A 65 year old man had his finger bitten off Wednesday evening at a health care rally in Thousand Oaks, according to the Ventura County Sheriff's Department.

Sheriff's investigators were called to Hillcrest and Lynn Road at 7:26 p.m.

About 100 protesters sponsored by MoveOn.org were having a rally supporting health care reform. A group of anti-health care reform protesters formed across the street.

When someone from the pro-reform side crossed over to the anti-reform side, a fist fight ensued, which resulted in the man's pinky finger getting bitten off.

It's believed the man was on the anti-health care reform side.

He took his finger and walked to Los Robles hospital for treatment.

Police don't know who bit the man's finger off, but they're investigating the incident.

“When he gets to our side, he tells a story in one sentence: “He punched me hard, straight in the face, so I bit his finger off.””

...And this is why you make sure they cant get up after you hit them.

Always, always, always bring video cameras to these events. These cockroaches are much less likely to come out and play if the lights are on.

I'm trying to sort this out also. The way I see it:

Pro-reform guy walks through anti-reform group.

Something ticked him off and he punches someone from anti-reform group. Pro-reform guy starts the violence.

Anti-reform person who was punched bites pro-reform person's pinky off.

There. Clear as mud for now.

“The Obama thugs outnumbered the victim’s group 200 to 9”

Fair fight? ;)

Even that MSM factoid is absurd. Here is the group that the Obama thug supposedly had to walk through:

Looks like more information at the link:

“A witness from the scene says a man was walking through the anti-reform group to get to the pro-reform side when he got into an altercation with the 65-year-old, who opposes health care reform.

The 65-year-old was apparently aggressive and hit the other man, who then retaliated by biting off his attacker’s pinky, according to Karoli from DrumsnWhistles.”

Pro-reform guy was looking for a fight then.

After I wrote my post, then I read others that followed and the whole scenario changes. Guess the drive-by media is searching for the right story to make their side look like innocent babes.

Be that as it may, as your picture shows, pro-reform guy could have gotten to his group without ever having to confront any of the anti-reform folks. Yes, he was looking for a fight.

The point is if you cannot go to a non violent protest without being mutilated, I think anyone who goes should be armed. Fortunately it was not the guys trigger finger.

This is going to end badly if the OZero’s thugs don’t stop the crap...hopefully it ends badly for them.

New Anthem:

We Won’t Pay (apologies to the offspring)

Barack’s got a Health care plan
And he thinks it is great
He tells me every day
He says “we need to redistribute your income
In the worst kind of way”

He sits on his ass
We work our hands to the bone
To give him money every payday
They want more dinero just like ancient rome
Well my friends
You gotta say

We won’t pay, We won’t pay ya, no way
Obama needs to get a new job
Say no way, say no way, no way
Obama needs to get a new job

I guess all our money, well it isn’t enough
To keep their tax collectors at bay
I guess all our money, well it isn’t enough
Cause Washington has got expensive tastes

We won’t pay, We won’t pay ya, no way
The Politicians need to get a new job
Say no way, say no way, no way
The Politicians need to get a new job

Well I guess it ain’t easy doing nothing at all
But hey man free rides just don’t come along
every day

Let me tell you about my other friend now

Pelosi wants cap and trade, man that makes me sick
She tells me every day
They want more dinero just like ancient rome
Well my friend
You gotta say

We won’t pay, We won’t pay ya, no way
Pelosi needs to get a new job
Say no way, say no way, no way
Pelosi needs to get a new job

Obama was touted to bring people together. He has accomplished that. Unfortunately they are biting, kicking, screaming in each other’s faces. He is the most polarizing figure in my generation. Before long, black will be fighting white with knives and guns. So much for change you can believe in. I want no part of this change.

Who has stopped carrying guns? It is one of the protected rights in the Constitution.
