KTLA-TV: A 65-year-old man had his finger bitten off Wednesday evening at a health care rally in California.

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 says a man was walking through the anti-reform group to get to the pro-reform side when he got into an altercation with the 65-year-old, who opposes health care reform.

You are missing the point...I don’t know how to spell it out any more clearly. You don’t go to the other side to GET your side..you go to the other side to GIVE your side..or stir up trouble....which is what this person was doing.

The way it is written doesn’t make sense.

Stranger than Strange. Even Stranger than “Robert Strange Mc McNamara”

I worked many years with a man named Frank Acker, who on retirement worked for a local retail store. One of his daily jobs was to feed the owner’s pet monkey. The monkey was always in a cage. One day at feeding time he made a mistake and was a little too close. The monkey bit off his finger.

What kind of MONKEY (semi-human) would have bitten off another man’s finger?

I understand that part...but you don’t walk through the anti side to GET the pro side. It doesnt make sense.

You do if you are looking for a fight and looking for an opportunity to take the anti-Marxist patriots into the courts.

Why isn't the media complaining about the provoking being done by the left? They will just provoke and provoke, assaulting and spitting on conservatives, until one reacts and THAT will be all over the news. Where is the outrage over this action and assault?

Good thing we still have the world’s best healthcare system.

Any fingers bitten off post-Obama likely won’t be re-attached because of rationing.
