Ventura County Sheriff’s Capt. Frank O’Hanlon says about 100 people demonstrating in favor of health care reforms rallied Wednesday night on a street corner. One protester walked across the street to confront about 25 counter-demonstrators.
O’Hanlon says the man got into an argument and fist fight, during which he bit off the left pinky of a 65-year-old man who opposed health care reform.
A hospital spokeswoman says the man lost half the finger, but doctors reattached it and he was sent home the same night.
She says he had Medicare.
O’Hanlon says the attacker fled but authorities have a good description.
you see medicare is a good insurance!
Wow NoBama will have to have more them a Beer with this guy
its funny abc said that it was a pro health care guy who bit the other guy while the AP seems like they dont want to write that
ok sorry everybody your right it does mention that it was a pro Obama guy who did the biting thank to all of the commenters who pointed out my mistake
i
Why would this guy push his finger in this guy’s mouth? He deserves it. This is the same logic you from the right use always, it is ridicules here and ridicules when you and Rush Limbaugh and Glenn Beck uses their stupidly
Just goes to show you who theese hooligans -supporting everything and anything ‘bama wants – really are….
It is worth noting that the finger was re-attached thanks to socialized medicine.
Its not helful to be finger pointing here…. let’s wait for the facts before we make any conclusion….
Wait a minute. With health care reform I’m not so sure he would get the finger fixed! They(burecrats) would first need to know how old is he , mabey he can live w/o the pinky and so on….something to think about….
Wow! Theyr’e confused. It’s supposed to be a bleeding liberal.
What is funny about this health care reform is that deep down nobody wants it. If a person is given a choice between buying into health care of buying food in this economy, there is no doubt as to what they would choose. I wish these Liberals would get a grip on reality and realize that what this country needs are J-O-B-S. It’s a wonder that the Cash for Clunkers scheme failed, Now this health care reform should be called Health for Clunkers.
