He didn’t “push him away” — he (and this is according to him) “threw a punch.”

Screw him. I’d have done a lot worse than bite his finger off.

It is being widely reported that mayhem occurred at a pro-Obamacare rally in Los Angeles area yesterday, but I’m having trouble figuring out what happened. According to most accounts, a MoveOn.org member punched an anti-Obamacare protester and the pro…

Pass these out in DC on 9/12. LOL

Better one of these.

LOL, a lot.

Well… I say we play it the “Chicago Way”. They bite off a finger… you rip off their arm. Every MoveOn. @$$hole in this country needs to be put on notice that we’re not going to tolerate their Anti-American rhetoric anymore.

OPERATION VALKYRIE IS NOW IN EFFECT.

But If I were you, I would sue this disgusting sack of p@@p and his masters
In the meanwhile, I wish you a speedy recovery and when the effect of painkillers wears off, hound your local PD to find , arrest, charge and jail him.

Don’t TASTE me bro!

Heh, good one. With the obvious bias of the MSM there is no doubt this incident will be spun to make it seem like the elderly man was a frothing at the mouth conservative nazi mobster that went bezerk!

Therefore since we will not get a fair shake from the MSM our only hope of vindication/revenge on the perp will be in the fantasy that the elderly gentleman built up a tolerance to Iocane and soaked his finger in it prior to the incident and the perp will soon drop DEAD!

Hey, a rabbit can dream can’t he…?

That was some eye witness account given to Mark Steyn…maverick muse on September 3, 2009 at 3:46 PM

Yes I heard the same eyewitness report – and I’d add that he sounded intelligent, composed, and credible. He also reported that not only did the MoveOn.org assailant approach them from the street, but stayed in the street, verbally attacking, but avoided younger stonger men who were in the same group. However, he then closed threateningly (within inches) with the elderly man, who raised his hands in a defense posture. The attacker then bit off the older guy’s finger.

Part of me is somewhat dissapointed that the younger guys didn’t move to defend the weaker old man. However it could be that it all happened too fast for them to react. Seems probable though that the MoveOn. perp had an agenda to provoke a confrontation – so in a sense I guess a bigger melee may have been avoided.

As for the currently in vogue meme, that “we believe in individual responsibility, not group guilt”: I suspect that as these organized agent provocateurs excercise their New Black Panther Party, SEIU, et al commissions, more innocent citizen’s blood will be spilt on the streets.

How long the weaker of our flock will absorb such violent attacks before deciding to avoid the protests and stay home is a pertinent question. As is the question of how long before such attacks provoke counterstrike tactics? To expect that patriots on the right will all just sit on the sidelines, and not pay the cost of defending freedom with their blood if necessary, may be wishy-washy thinking. Most of us men learned early, that the only way to stop the bully is with force, singing Kumbaya doesn’t work with thugs.
I suspect, that in the end, it will come down to how much citizen revolution it will take to convince the Government that we want this Democrat Fascist makeover of the USA to cease!

“Let’s Roll”

Maybe it’s just me, but something about it didn’t seem right. I’m not excusing the a**hole who bit off his finger, who ought to be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. But on that front, why would you not want to sue someone who did that to you? I don’t get it.

Accountant, huh? tehe

But would it have covered under ObamaCare?

Honestly that’s a good question for your Senator or Representative.

Cavuto has this guy on right now. Doesn’t seem like a real braintrust. “Yeah, I punched him first.” Way to go.

What the hell do you mean by that, “doesn’t seem like a real braintrust”?

He’s not a litigious guy–does that make him “not a braintrust”? Makes him a dumbass in your world?

He seems like a decent guy who now has nine fingers instead of 10. People had better watch out at these rallies–go with a friend, go with a camera. Stay alert to what is happening in front of you.
