Whatever you see in the news, whatever you hear from countless town halls and state fairs and all around you, it’s the conservatives who are the violence-prone wackoes.
An opponent of government healthcare programs had part of a finger bit off during a fight at a pro-healthcare-reform rally this week in Thousand Oaks.
William Rice, 65, of Newbury Park was with a small group of counter-protesters at a vigil Wednesday night organized by Moveon.org when a man bit off part of his left pinky finger during a scuffle, authorities said. Doctors were unable to reattach Rice’s finger.
Remember – right-wing domestic terror is the greatest danger to democracy today. Pinky swear.
So, no matter how warm summer may be, wear your chopper mitts or hockey gloves to town hall meetings.
The problem is in the nature of the reporting. The crazy guy who shot the abortion doctor in Kansas? Driven by his fanatical pro-life beliefs. Lee Harvey Oswald? Crazed loner.
Wearing gloves is good idea. Makes for better fash washing. You might want to put on the foil too in case you have to drop ’em.
Nah, he was just giving him the…no, I don’t want to go there.
I haven’t heard the term pinky swear in a LONG time.
If we’re going to be prepared for hockey fights when we go to town hall meetings, can I ask that liberty-minded people responding to an attack NOT pull the liberals’ jerseys over their heads? There are just some things that don’t need to be seen. :^)
This certainly justifies conceal-carry permint holders who choose to pack heat at these events.
That’s one less finger that a doctor can amputate to pay for his kid’s private school.
pinky swear! heehee you slay me! xD
Someone call Chris Matthews & tell him we carry guns to demonstrations because we know the history in this country of how leftists react when challenged.

Sheriff’s detectives Thursday were still looking for the man who bit Rice. Investigators also were sifting through conflicting accounts of the incident, but Rice acknowledged that he threw the first punch.”
Right-wing propaganda FAIL.
How does Clownie figure that? The wingnut throws a punch and the Move-on moonbat bites him? I’m surprised he didn’t get all “wee-wee’d up”.
“Rice acknowledged that he threw the first punch.”
Who bit first?
It’s the Chicago way, Kerm. He throws a punch, you bite off a digit. He sends one of yours to the hospital, you send one of his to the hospital, only you make sure he gets one of them scary death panels.

But if they’re liberals, don’t you have to pull the jersey DOWN in order to get it over their heads? ;^)
Stop whining, wingnuts. You want to pick fights and intimidate people at public meetings? You might want to be prepared for a punch in the nose.
And now we see the violence inhernet in the system. Thank Gaia liberals have come out of the closet and admitted to being thugs. It’s both refreshing and rife with political opportunity.

Throw ’em both in jail, then.

Kumbaya, motherfucker.
Just further proof that the Democrat party is the party of children. Most parents break their kids of the biting thing by age three.
Republicans never learned to share. And they wet their pants every time somebody says the words “national security.”
Did Obama’s Approved Speech Czar give you permission to say that?
By the way, Republicans are far more likely to contribute to charity than liberals. But you just keep on spouting idiocy, it really helps my side. You know. The adults.
Sure, Kerm. Like to the opera, anti-immigration groups, the NRA.
No Clown. Like to the local food shelf. The homeless shelter (in Mpls Sharing & Caring Hands). The Salvation Army and Goodwill.
You are so blind. But then there are none so blind as those who will not see.
Hey assclown forgot an important part of the article:
Rice said he did not initially plan to participate in any demonstration Wednesday. He was driving by when he spotted Code Pink members, and he stopped to see if they were protesting the military, he said. Rice has a son who is an officer in the Marine Corps.
After a brief exchange with Code Pink members, Rice said, he was satisfied they were not protesting the military. He was leaving when a man who seemed “deranged” approached and called him an “idiot,” he said.
Rice said he felt like the man had singled him out because he was the “easiest target.” But the incident happened quickly, he said, and he doesn’t clearly remember everything that preceded the altercation.
Scott Bush, 43, of Thousand Oaks said he was standing with Rice in the group opposed to healthcare reform when the man walked over from the Moveon.org group. Bush said the man asked the group if it supported a public health insurer option, and members responded “no.” The man then singled out Rice and asked him why, according to Bush. When Rice responded that he didn’t want the government involved in anything, the man moved toward Rice and yelled, “You’re an idiot,” Bush said.
Bush said Rice then hit the man in a defensive move. The man then pulled Rice into the street, according to Bush.
After a fight that lasted only a few seconds, Bush said, he heard Rice say, “He bit my finger off,” and he saw a stump.
Liberals so like to cherry pick facts
Yeah, because the moonbat crossing the street & gittin all up’n da old man’s grill wasn’t a provocation.
