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.
Good interview. Thanks for posting it.
That's my fear. The left can not not stand being beaten at the protest and public opinion game is now resorting to violence knowing that the only thing us conservatives will do is talk tough. In their mind, physical violence trumps protesting. Left wing rioters are folk heroes in their world. Add a sympathetic media who whitewashes what ever violence the left does and you got an explosive situation if the right ever gets tired of being smacked around and responds in kind.
I don't want to sound like an alarmist, but I hear under currents of "it's time for us to return the (physical)fight" back to the moveons and Acorns, etc. I am trying to thing of a good reason to tell them not to do it.
It’s now down to the point where it’s no longer an “if” but “when” the first shot will be fired.
And who is going to fire that first shot, we might wonder?
That remains, for the moment, to be determined.
But I do have a strong sense that it won’t be much longer now, and then things will probably escalate and spiral out of control rather quickly from there.
The Communists were planning on taking America down, then taking us over, without having to fire a shot.
A number of the Anointed Ones’ other plans have already gone awry, and I suspect that that one will, too.
But I’m confident that if the “shotless” takeover plan comes unglued, as it seems to be doing as a covertly attacked and wounded Nation awakes to feel it’s pain and recognize it’s tormentor, that they have a somewhat messier and direct “Plan ‘B’” all ready to roll.
It won’t be pretty, folks.
The Los Angeles Times thinks it’s hilarious.

Grrr...and they wonder why there’s animosity toward the maroons in the Ministry of Propoganda?
You must be watching too much CSI on TV
Uh...Well, no. DNA from bite wounds has been used to convict people for years, even in cases where the DNA was collected back in the 1980s but techniques for analyzing it didn’t come along until much later.
+++++++++++++++
Book ‘im Dano!
Don’t ya know, SEIU will come out with a press release, picked up by the Ministry of Probamaganda, that the terrorist, right wing nuts are now biting people’s fingers off in their zeal against our dear leader.
And 40% of the people would believe that story.
the person biting off the finger was a “pro-reform” (Move-On follower) who had been attacked first.
++++++++++++++++
Yeah, I’m sure they’re going to quickly try to say it was the old man’s fault and that he had it comin’ to him since he opposed dear leader’s policies. He provoked the man to bite off his finger by speaking his mind. Shut up old man! You won’t?! OK - riiiiiiiiiiip...I’ll be surprised if it were anything different from this.
PBS and MSM will NEVER report it.”
+++++++++++++++
They are hacks and shills, and therefore propagandists and traitors.
“Don’t be fooled by reports ginning up sympathy for that 65-year old guy or worse yet, reports characterizing him as a senior citizen.”
++++++++++++
Even though he is. Liberals don’t let facts get in the way.
Wow, this is the complete flip flop of what other reports are saying...hmmm..
But whatever occurred, aren't you just glad for Obama bringing healing and hope to the nation and a spirit of post partisanship..</s>
Oh I agree! Just logically sounds like what may have happened.
You’re right. The article has already been changed.
++++++++++++++++++
So glad the Ministry of Propoganda is so concerned about their fact checking...heartening. </s>
“The man apparently punched the person from the anti-reform side. In the scuffle that ensued, that person bit the man’s pinky finger, severing it.”
Is it clear who “that person” is?
+++++++++++++++++
I will not be surprised if the man punching and the man biting, are the same Moveon.org thug. But we may never find out the truth, as the “media” is not on the case.
And, I guess the new MSM template is “Pro-Reform” and “Anti-Reform.”
Not too much bias there, huh?
+++++++++++++
Right. The reality - pro-socialist and pro-freedom.
Anyone who attends one of the meetngs when the other side is present should be prepared to either allow them to injure you or to fight. They mean business. They are evil, mean, and wicked.
++++++++++++++++
Plus they have the Ministry of Propoganda to cover their tracks...
The left is holding classes for their paid goons, probably taught this.
++++++++++++++
Remember that person at Wendy’s that put a fake finger in a cup of chili and then tried to sue Wendy’s...
I’m just sayin’ - don’t put it past this to be ginned up on the Moveon side to create some kind of mass Propogandist hysteria against the ‘right wing nut jobs’.
We know who the real nut jobs are.
Thanks for the clarification, RDTF. I misunderstood.
Any port in a storm...
You’re right. Lots of people shake their fingers - but NO ONE bites them off - well, no one except an Obama goon...
Nine people versus 120 MoveOn.org thugs, and the guy could not even walk around this small group.
++++++++++++++++
Clearly, he walked DIRECTLY over there to provoke. That should be clear. Any baloney about the pro-freedom side starting this is BOGUS.
