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.

Looks like the Left can no longer support the lie that the finger-biter was walking through the anti-Obamacare group MERELY to get to the pro-Obamacare group.

From Washington Post web page.

“One protester walked across the street to confront about 25 counter-demonstrators. “

People are really tightly wound nowadays, regardless of the politics they subscribe too...I’ve know cops that now have people sneering at them and mouthing, “FU” at them while sitting in traffic..We’re talking unrestrained anger here.

The picture from the scene only shows 9 "counter-protesters." The witness account confirms that number.

The Compost bumped the number up to 25.

Yes, we're against all healthcare reform. Nice attempt at framing you stupid commie reporter.

I noticed that, too. And the number will probably be increased - again.

JERRY: The way I feel when I go places with you? Hey, so'd you find my sneakers yet?

KRAMER: No. But I did run into somebody you might be interested in, a Mr. Jon Voight, the actor?

GEORGE: Jon Voight! Are you kiddin' me? Did you talk to him?

KRAMER: Well, he was a little standoffish.

GEORGE: What, you didn't ask him about the car?

KRAMER: No, I couldn't, his cab pulled away. But he did, however, make an impression on me. Look.

JERRY: What?

KRAMER: His tooth marks. He bit me.

GEORGE: Jon Voight bit you?

JERRY: Well, what is he, a vampire?

KRAMER: No, it's justifiable. He thought I was going for his wallet.

GEORGE (looking at Kramer's arm): He left perfect imprints.

What is an anti-reform person? There is no reform, there is pro-nationalized healthcare and pro-single payer system(current system).

AntiCommunist maybe.

[a fool in paradise]

How can pro-”reform” people protesters? Aren’t they “supporters”?

[lonevoice]

Cannibals for Obamacare!

LOL! That's brilliant.

[Lucky9teen]

Don’t bite me, bro!!!

Health advisory:

All anti-Obamacare citizens who attend rallies or demonstrations should wear steel-mesh animal handling gloves.
And make sure your rabies vaccinations are up to date.

How can pro-”reform” people protesters?

Easy. They're protesting against freedom and responsibility.

[syriacus]

Rabid leftists.

Yes!
