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.

They’ve been playing dirty for 40 years, and our side is still having a discussion over whether we should continue to be PC.

Luckily we don’t have socialized medicine yet. At his age he would just be given the pain meds and not had the surgery.

I’d like to know if the thug was being paid to be there - and if so - by what group. If it was the dems or ACORN - they need to be sued.

Rent-a-crowd is one thing - but "rent-a-goon" is worse. Much worse.

Let's hope they catch the perp so the vic doesn't have to go through that series of rabies shots.

If you dare say that that anti-Obamacare victim was assaulted by the pro-Obamacare/Moveon thug, you will be banned from Littlegreenfootballs.
How dare you question Charles!

View from the other side: From Daily Kos:
“65yr old Pro-Reform Protester Attacked by a Wingnut at Nelson’s Townhall
The rabid right is at it again, this time they brutally attacked an elderly Hispanic man who was rallying for HCR.”

There was a caller to Mark Steyn who claimed to be there (and found the finger).
Either someone just pranked the show or LA Times got it wrong, again.

RICO laws may be applicable. The goons are trying to shut down private insurance and medical care. There lies the commerical interest for the racketeering charge.

Interesting reading. She readily admits she doesn’t have all the facts, but then makes ascertions as to the motives of the one individual (victim), but not the other (perp - as opposed to PR guy). She was also not in a position to know the specific details of the confrontation with the woman - who did what first etc.
