Not as catchy as Nathan Hale's original quote, but we have 'evolved' you know.

INDEED.

CANIBALS FOR OTHUGA CARE.

Next it will be . . .

“TREE SHREDDERS DEDICATE THEIR MACHINES TO DISPOSE OF ELDERLY IN BEHALF OF OTHUGA CARE—ANESTHESIA TOO COSTLY TO BOTHER WITH.”

Watch—— this is how the media will play this story: “An inspiring rally for health care— mostly peaceful with only a few “scuffles” where someone’s finger was “bitten”:

They’ve changed the article since you posted it:

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.

A witness from the scene told KTLA the man who got his finger bitten off was walking through the anti-reform group to get to the pro-reform group when he got in an altercation with someone from the anti-reform side.

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.

The man 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 thing this happened before obamaCare, or the doctors would have told him he was too old and sewing it back on was not cost effective.

Is it clear who "that person" is?

Ok, that made me laugh. Now to figure out if it’s nervous laughter or what.

In this statement, it is written as if the anti-reform person was the biter, and the pro-reform person was the bitten.

Unfortunately, due to the poor education and poor writing skills of most journalists these days, that may not be the case. There have clearly been different ways of phrasing what happened, with one story implying the pro-reform person was the biter and another story implying it was the anti-reform person who was the biter.

Why can't they just spell it out??

And, I guess the new MSM template is “Pro-Reform” and “Anti-Reform.”

Not too much bias there, huh?

I’m confused... does this mean the man who had his finger bit off was pro-Obocare? It sure looks like it.

Story and audio of alleged attack at health care rally in Miami on Wednesday. Sounds fishy.
