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.

'Cracking heads' was an outrageous call to violence.
It occurred before the violence which followed,
and others in the MSM have also demanded violence (M.Williams and Stephanopolous) against patriotic Americans.

"PRESIDENT OBAMA: And this week, .... we're going to be doing is bringing some of them into the White House and --
JIM LEHRER: To crack heads?"

---

“To crack heads?” Lehrer asks.
“Oh, I don’t know about cracking heads,” Obama said, “facilitating a discussion that solves these problems.” "

"PBS’s Jim Lehrer ... urged the executive to “crack heads”
to get his health care plan passed, and inquired if “taxing the wealthy” was an option to fund it.
Lehrer later pressed Mr. Obama on the “huge profits” being made by “big Wall Street banks.”"

FYI to ANYONE going to a protest: You must ALWAYS BRING A VIDEO RECORDING DEVICE to any protest you attend, and cameras too.

dont forget your CCW either

I hope that guy has pressed charges.

Are you kidding me?

WAKE UP.

It’s not “tin foil hat” crap, it is the MSM propaganda machine saying things that could easily incite violence.

And here you are defending that scumbag.

[Ghost of Philip Marlowe]

And another thing, you don’t “crack heads” because the constituency is making their opposition to the plan loud and clear. THAT is the action of a dictatorship, not a representative government.

I agree that much of the MSM is in on the attack on us patriotic Americans, but I just don’t think this particular comment is an example of it for the reason that I gave. I am sorry if you don’t see the distinction. As for Lehrer, I agree that he is a leftist toady, but he did not mean violince in this particular statement.

[Bigg Red]

But I have heard that term used quite a few times by pundits in the context that I mentioned in my original comment.

[Impy]

Um, yikes.

[Impy]

Old news but I just heard it.

Hi everyone... this guy is going to be on Neil Cavuto’s show tomorrow.

I guess they are going to start highlighting all the violence that went ignored by the left... done by the left. (And it’s a lot)

Palin hung in effigy, church burnt, no biggie, and that sort of thing.

What gets me is these insane reports that Palin told people to harm anyone with her map of targeted districts. Liberals are a piece of work ain’t they?
