Victim of attack at MoveOn vigil speaks: “He ate my finger”

posted at 7:45 pm on September 3, 2009 by Allahpundit

Via Greg Hengler. I don’t know if it’s because Rice is doped up on painkillers or if he’s just naturally serene, but he’s shockingly chill about what happened. No lawsuit, no regrets about showing up (“freedom isn’t free”), and when Cavuto asks him how losing a finger will change his life, all he can say is, “I guess I’ll have to take different piano lessons or something.”

Here’s a photo of the alleged attacker; I’m afraid to ask whether he swallowed or not. Exit non sequitur: When Rice says “He ate my finger,” I felt like Nicolas Cage at the beginning of “Raising Arizona” listening to his convict pal. “You ate what? You ate sand?

I’ll agree with that but only if we get a free lunch.

Liam on September 3, 2009 at 9:38 PM

If you can’t get out of a fight with a 65-year-old man without having to bite him, you’re probably one of the toughest guys at MunchOn.

Jim Treacher on September 3, 2009 at 9:39 PM

Did the feast include fava beans and a fine chianti?

Kissmygrits on September 3, 2009 at 9:40 PM

Jim Treacher on September 3, 2009 at 9:39 PM

I bet the biter knew he was overmatched. Most likely a man that age is a Vietnam vet and the biter expected it. I wouldn’t mess with a man 90 years old, since he might well be a former Ranger or Marine from WWII and could probably still kick my ass.

Liam on September 3, 2009 at 9:42 PM

Jim Treacher on September 3, 2009 at 9:39 PM

You’re not giving credit to the old guy, if the fight were to go three rounds I would bet the old guy and give odds.

jainphx on September 3, 2009 at 9:45 PM

I think someone was off his meds when the incident occurred. As the great Mike Tyson has said, “I’m on the Z0L0FT thing right…..but I’m on that to keep me from k!llin’ y’all.”

Dr.Cwac.Cwac on September 3, 2009 at 9:45 PM

I’ll take all the old guys on my team any day. They have been there and done that, and don’t back down.

jainphx on September 3, 2009 at 9:47 PM

Well, which is it, young feller? You want I should freeze or get down on the ground? Mean to say, if’n I freeze, I can’t rightly drop. And if’n I drop, I’m a-gonna be in motion.

WordsMatter on September 3, 2009 at 9:47 PM

I hope this guy had good health insurance.

Frankly, I don’t pity him. He instigated it. You conservative savages brought it on yourselves.

Norman Blizter on September 3, 2009 at 9:47 PM

This is similar to a situation we had once on the farm when a worker was bitten by a wild animal. We were told we would have to kill the wild animal and take the carcass to the lab to see if it had rabies. Since we couldn’t find the skunk that bit the poor guy; he had to take the painful rabies shots! That biter needs to be found quickly and sent off to the lab! Just guessing that he probably was Rabid!

Marco on September 3, 2009 at 9:49 PM

No, but KFC is bringing a lawsuit. Why? It was finger lickin’ good.

Frankly, I don’t pity him. He instigated it. You conservative savages brought it on yourselves.

He has Medicare. So there you go, Secretary Napolitano.

Dr.Cwac.Cwac on September 3, 2009 at 9:51 PM

Frankly, I don’t pity him. He instigated it. You conservative savages brought it on yourselves.

Norman Blizter on September 3, 2009 at 9:47 PM

No, liberal. The biter got in the man’s face and Mr. Rice responded. Wait for the court date.

As for “You conservative savages brought it on yourselves,” liberals like you are savages. Let’s see–6 million dead Jews, 2 million dead Romany, 20 million dead Russians (by Hitler), 37 more million dead Russians (by Stalin), 67 million by Mao–etc. and so forth.

You group people into lots, like at a discount grocery store. You want to play? Fine–I charge you personally for being partly responsible for all those deaths I listed and further imply.

We on the same page in the same book?

When someone gets too close, invading your personal space (and everyone has a limit) ans stays there, being bellicose, the target is going to react. Expect it, it’s a fact of life.

Save your cutsie peacenik crap. If I get in your face, you’re either going to fight or flee.

Strong men don’t flee.

If you think even liberal ‘enlightened’ chicks prefer beta males like you over Men, you’re living in another liberal delusion. The women I date are feminists to one level or other. They don’t respect touchy-feelie pantywastes like you. On the streets during a mugging, the most feminist of women wants a guy who will fight to protect her, not some wimpy ‘sensitive’ boy who says ‘okay’ when a mugger wants to take the guy’s wallet and rape the woman he’s with.

Get over yourself. You have NO claim to any kind of moral superiority.

Liam on September 3, 2009 at 10:12 PM

I do wonder if schuster and his ilk will also defend obama’s morons when they start actually killing people.

TTheoLogan on September 3, 2009 at 10:21 PM

Notice all the little trolls come here to say that his man deserved what he got but they will go bat sh!t about a terrorist being waterboarded. At least when that happens you come out with all the parts that you went in with.

Cindy Munford on September 3, 2009 at 10:27 PM

Hi, Cindy!

Liberals live in and with delusion. For all I know of psychology, I can’t grasp how they live with themselves. Imagine being married to someone like that? (I once was)

Logical arguments don’t work with these people. I’m changing tactics, making those in my sphere who back Obama see what Obama’s own people say to We the Subservient (/sarc)

It’s a dementia of some sort the shrinks are unwilling to explore. I have my own theories but a single one doesn’t cover it all. It has to be a mix somewhere.

Hanged if I can figure it out.

Liam on September 3, 2009 at 10:32 PM

You conservative savages brought it on yourselves.

Norman Blizter on September 3, 2009 at 9:47 PM

Speaking as a savage, I was just curious, Norm, what your plan is for civilizing us?

FlameWarrior on September 3, 2009 at 10:39 PM

You gotta be careful when you are around leftists. They are not smart enough to know that “Bite Me” is a pejorative, not an instruction.

LegendHasIt on September 3, 2009 at 10:40 PM

It’s not cannibalism if you don’t swallow.

hicsuget on September 3, 2009 at 10:40 PM

Liam on September 3, 2009 at 10:32 PM

I think that’s what makes both sides what they are, the total lack of understanding. I don’t understand why the Left glorifies and protects a crook like Charlie Rangel and I am sure they don’t understand that even though Duke Cunningham is a WWII hero, we knew he still had to pay for breaking the law. I am not sure the trolls here are truly representative of the left, they are just comment multipliers with hypocrisy blinders.

Cindy Munford on September 3, 2009 at 10:41 PM

Brave man. More forgiving than I would be in the same circumstances. Far too gentle with an obviously deranged psychotic animal.

Cavuto is great. One criticism of the interview however. Why do Conservatives adopt the language of the left? Cavuto kept referring to the government seizure of the Health Care Industry as “Health Care Reform”. The socialization of a private industry is not reform.

The left intentionally and maliciously distorts the language. Pro-choice, Affirmative Action, Climate Change, Undocumented Workers, and on and on and on. Many Conservatives then adopt these term and try and argue on the leftists’ terms. When we surrender the language we are surrendering a significant portion of the argument.

Sorry for ranting on Cavuto. I don’t think he is consciously doing it. He is just so cowered into being politically correct that adopting the leftist language is instinctive.

DeathB4Tyranny on September 3, 2009 at 10:50 PM

I am not sure the trolls here are truly representative of the left, they are just comment multipliers with hypocrisy blinders.
Cindy Munford on September 3, 2009 at 10:41 PM

No, hon–those we often call trolls are typical of the Left. They have a certain world view and hold to that, like to a religion. That is how they define themselves personally.

Taken individually, there was some kind of bad thing that went wrong with every one of them. That ‘bad’ thing isn’t necessarily something outside them.

Take the Kennedys, for example. If you’re that rich, and truly believe every Citizen should be able to be as rich, why does that family condone rape and negligent homicide in its ranks?

If my son accidentally killed a girl, he’s going to the police station and before the courts.

If one of my nephews raped a girl, I’m not sending him to Europe.

If another of my nephews killed a teenage girl, he needs to go to prison.

Liberals always excuse that unless it’s an average guy like me. What the F is wrong with them?

The trolls here are fine with excuses for Dems. To their last, they toe their party line.

Something is seriously wrong with them, like the unkempt hippies in my first college in 1977 wanted me to show pride in some sick protest for the violent thugs who were killed at Kent State for shooting at National Guard troops.

Liam on September 3, 2009 at 10:53 PM

I don’t know if it’s because Rice is doped up on painkillers or if he’s just naturally serene, but he’s shockingly chill about what happened.

That was my thought as well, as I mentioned in the other thread this afternoon…but maybe it was the painkillers?

Cylor on September 3, 2009 at 10:56 PM

A little late on this one, but I couldn’t let it pass by without commemorating the event in a new DNC poster. I’m happy to hear comments if anyone is so obliged.

BKeyser on September 3, 2009 at 10:57 PM

Cindy:

Duke Cunningham was, if I recall, America’s first air ace in Nam. He was in an F4 Phantom–a plane that proved you can fly a brick if you put wings on it and give it powerful-enough engines.

Duke and his RIO popped enemy MiG-21s–not easy since that enemy plane could out-turn a Phantom. Duke knew what he was doing and, like most American pilots, kicked enemy ass.

USA all the way!

Cindy Munford on September 3, 2009 at 10:27 PM

You stupid twit! That guy instigated the confrontation and threw the first punch. He says the other guy called him an idiot but others say that the alleged attacker was trying to get to the pro-Obama group and this idiot blocks his way. It’s why the police haven’t issued an arrest warrant. They want to find him and hear his side of the story.

Norman Blizter on September 3, 2009 at 11:01 PM

You’re right, he always looks older to me than other Viet Nam vets. Especially since I am married to one.

Don’t you ever assail one of our ladies here. She’s smarter than you; you didn’t answer MY attack against your ignorant posts.

Get to the truth, you vile vermin. The biter crossed the street to attack Rice. Gewt on track, learn truth.

Warning: You EVER insult the women here, you ‘enlightened’ man(?), you, I’ll email Michelle and ask for your banning.

Got it?

Liam on September 3, 2009 at 11:08 PM

Norman Blizter on September 3, 2009 at 11:01 PM

None of us know the whole story so settle down. Mr. Rice admitted to throwing the first punch although it would seem to take just a little bit more than self defense to actually bite off someone’s finger.

Cindy Munford on September 3, 2009 at 11:08 PM

Oh yeah, conservatives are the crazy ones…

Cr4sh Dummy on September 3, 2009 at 11:10 PM

Liam on September 3, 2009 at 11:08 PM

I know he would appreciate your acknowledgment. Don’t worry about Mr. Blitzer, another good thing about the Right that the Left will never understand, we are strong supporters of the First Amendment. For everyone.

Cindy Munford on September 3, 2009 at 11:12 PM

“Freedom is not free.”

Yeah, well where’s my freedom to NOT lose my money into the black hole that is Medicare/Medicaid and Social Security, Mr. Rice? Taxpayer money paid for your medical care. Is that right? Are you fighting to get rid of these already existing programs, or are you OK with them because they benefit you?

This guy didn’t deserve what he got, but excuse me if I don’t praise him as some kind of good guy or hero. He’s a hypocrite. Like most people, he has little to no problem with socialism per say (they use the public schools, Medicare, Social Security, whatever), they just don’t like this particular form of socialism because they think it won’t benefit them.

2Brave2Bscared on September 3, 2009 at 11:13 PM

Norman Blizter on September 3, 2009 at 11:01 PM

Now I’m back to you, ‘enlightened’ liberal.

How dare you call a woman a twit? Is that sexist on your part, or did you write that because you’re not as ‘enlightened’ as you libs claim? Did she ‘make’ you angry?

Gee, if YOU are ‘enlightened’, you shouldn’t be angry at all, let alone enough to insult a woman!

Defend yourself, I dare you.

Liam on September 3, 2009 at 11:14 PM

Cindy Munford on September 3, 2009 at 11:12 PM

The First Amendment doesn’t require we listen to lunacy and you be insulted. I won’t have it.

Liam on September 3, 2009 at 11:16 PM

Norman Blizter on September 3, 2009 at 11:01 PM

Well..?

Liam on September 3, 2009 at 11:21 PM

Liam on September 3, 2009 at 11:16 PM

I agree that Mr. Blitzer did think he was taking a shot at a weaker target, he would have to do much worse then that to get banned. It’s usually better to sit back and watch because they usually manage to go over the line. It’s hard to either do anything about or get to worked up over an anonymous comments on a blog. I appreciate your support though.

Cindy Munford on September 3, 2009 at 11:23 PM

Cindy Munford on September 3, 2009 at 11:23 PM

He’s a ringer, and I’m not going to let some mysogynist liberal get away unscathed. Typical of libs, they say things and run away, like a brat kid who breaks a flower pot and runs to the next corner and thumbs his nose before he continues running.

I’d respect libs if they could present a real case for longer than five seconds.

Biltzer is just another coward. I’ve read your posts a long time, and I’ll be hanged if I’m going to let some lib attack you. You have credibility. He doesn’t.

Liam on September 3, 2009 at 11:30 PM

Norman Blizter on September 3, 2009 at 11:01 PM

Again…Well?

Liam on September 3, 2009 at 11:31 PM

Rachel Maddow said, on her TV show, that the guy that was protesting against socialized medicine and had his finger bitten off is covered “under a single-payer system called Medicare.”

So… I must infer that everything is hunky dory?!?!?

Since I was the only one watching I wanted to let ya’ll know.

He’s not going to answer you. I have found that if you ask them how they feel about The Won allowing GITMO to remain open, POOF, they are gone as if by magic. You are having the same results with your confrontation. I am on way too many threads this evening. Crazy night.

Cindy Munford on September 3, 2009 at 11:38 PM

Norman Blizter on September 3, 2009 at 11:01 PM

Still no answer?

Lemme guess: you had a date!

But inquiring minds want to know: was that sheep or goat? And was it a Democrat sheep? The black sheep of the fambly, or da white wun?

Nevermind. You were with Mary Fist and her five sisters. Good for you, having a gangbang all by yourself.

I guess we’re all now jealous of you.

Such a strawman, after a certain age (62 or 65) everyone is on Medicare, including Warren Buffet. It’s not like you have a choice so Ms. Maddow is either stupid or disingenuous. I am guessing both.

Cindy Munford on September 3, 2009 at 11:38 PM

No bother for me, Cindy. I attack and attack, and attack. I want the fight, I want to make liberals explain themselves.

That guy is gonna wake up one day and go, “That guy ate my f8cking finger!!! It ain’t coming back — EVER!!! F8ck that guy!! I hope he boils in a cauldron of lead for eternity!!!” And then he’s gonna pop a beer open and sigh.

Heftyjo on September 4, 2009 at 12:03 AM

Liberals can excuse any behavior.

If the tables were turned, if the lib had been provoked, threw the first punch and then the Conservative had bitten the libs finger off…

There would be a 24/7 media blitz about how this one issue had driven the entire Conservative Movement insane.

These liberals are animals. They should be treated as such. Every liberal pundit covering this is turning a joke. Laugh now.

hawkdriver on September 4, 2009 at 12:08 AM

Hey Liam, you will wait for eternity for Norm the leftist to answer. they are unable to do so and it reminds me of a story back in 04. I asked several lefties what was Kerry’s plan for Iraq, since Kerry was so critical of GWB’s handling. Not once did I ever get an answer to that question. Kerry and his defenders never ever gave an answer and some how the MSM let him get away with. Now back to this story, can you imagine if a conservative had bit a lefty’s finger off?

garydt on September 4, 2009 at 12:30 AM

Yep. And, as I said earlier, they have no rules. We do. They make us play by our rules and can still live as virtual anarchists without consequence. We’ll see how that works in the coming elections, though.

Shy Guy on September 4, 2009 at 6:53 AM

It’s Obama’s fault…And I say that in all seriousness. I listened to 8 years of “it’s Bush’s fault” when 99% of the time it had nothing to do with Bush.

This time around however, President Communist ordered the lefties to “Get in their faces”. This is a direct result of that. Get in my face threateningly, and I’m rapping you on the beak at the very least. If he had bitten my finger off, I would have made it to where he would need a school for the blind in a hurry.

Yeah, so President Communist orders the lemmings to get in their faces. I thought bringing arms to these events was making a bit of an overstatement with the 2nd Amendment when I saw pictures of that…I now look at it as exercising my 2nd amendment right to keep and bear arms, and the right to defend my RIGHTS to defend myself.

adamsmith on September 4, 2009 at 8:02 AM

And all this crap is being orchestrated by the sitting Governor of Virginia.

Why we couldn’t throw Kaine out when he took the DNC job I don’t know. Virginia spent over $5 million on the inauguration. Kaine yesterday was crowing about how he got “$2.7 million of it back.”

Whoop de do. The state workers who have been laid off could have put that 5.5 million to use, I bet.

riverrat10k on September 4, 2009 at 8:24 AM

Oh, and by the way, the Dem. candidate for Governor, Creigh Deeds (for those who don’t know, we are electing a Governor in November, 2009 that is), is running radio adds saying the Bush administration was a failure (?) and the Rep. candidate, Bob McDonnell, would be more of the same.

Gee, I’ll take 5-6% unemployment vs. 10%. The stock market started crashing when BO secured the Dem. nomination. What tools.

riverrat10k on September 4, 2009 at 8:28 AM

riverrat10k on September 4, 2009 at 8:28 AM

Hey, I am from Virginia. How is the release of the thesis being received? Mr. Obama hides his and it is a bonus, Mr. McDonnell’s is publicized and I know they are trying to ratchet up the bad press.

Cindy Munford on September 4, 2009 at 8:43 AM

Now back to this story, can you imagine if a conservative had bit a lefty’s finger off?

garydt on September 4, 2009 at 12:30 AM

I don’t have to. Hollywood will do this for me.

Since this is gruesomely memorable, sooner or later someone will use it in a movie. When they do, it’s London to a brick that the roles will be changed, so that the cannibal will be conservative.

David Blue on September 4, 2009 at 8:45 AM

Cindy, too soon to tell how the release of McDonnell’s thesis will affect the race. The left is painting him as anti-women and anti-gay.

I’m not too worried about the “gay vote”. I would be surprised if more than 10% of the population is gay, and gays would not necessarily vote as a block.

McDonnell is ahead by about 10 points as of yesterday.

riverrat10k on September 4, 2009 at 8:50 AM

Remarkable interview…but I must say, I’m surprised he wasn’t challenged about apparently throwing the first punch. Didn’t he just admit to that?

dont taze me bro on September 3, 2009 at 8:04 PM

Regardless, if you feel threatened and you know it’s gonna be a fight why the heck be hit first? What does that prove? That you avoided the fight in the first place? Nah-ah, don’t think so!!!

Where I come from, school gangs “visited” other schools with knives just in case. I am still reading online of teenager chicks fighting over stupid stuff (yeah even guys) and they are armed. Public school system. :[

Dunno about you, but once I had a dad that told me that if I got into a fight, that I must leave the counterpart in such a bad shape that the bastard won’t wanna fight me again. Ever.

Passing message to kiddo. This chick won’t bite off body parts but will break bones if needed. All this crap is what broke the camel’s back, I am ticked off and if I can get into streetfight self-defense classes (a-la-Jennifer Lopez) will do so.

Time to grow a spine people. But I do appreciate your jokes, and sarcasm!

ProudPalinFan on September 4, 2009 at 8:54 AM

Oh I don’t wanna leave this behind for you guys that are mentioning the “who hit first” thing-is that a NASCAR rule? I respect gentlemen, but I do enjoy watchig Dwayne Johnson and the movie “The Chronicles of Riddick” or something like that. Love men that kick ass.

ProudPalinFan on September 4, 2009 at 9:18 AM

Wanted to clear up that Dwayne Johnson is not on that movie. The actor of the Chronicles of Riddick is Vin Diesel.

I don’t know if it’s because Rice is doped up on painkillers or if he’s just naturally serene, but he’s shockingly chill about what happened.

He is gripping the chair with white knuckles. He is very nervous, but he is trying to sound intelligent and reasonable.

If they physically attack me, the only thing that they are going to bite is my Glock 45.

Didn’t see it mentioned here yet, but a call into Rush’s show from a person claiming to have been there stated apparently the MOVEON.ORG THUG did INDEED INTENTIONALLY cross the street over to the anti-Obamcare protestors side, and SPECIFICALLY TARGETTED the oldest/weakest looking man (65 year old), got in his face yelling, and the punches were done in DEFENSE by the 65 year-old did at that time. The THUG, who was standing in the street, then pulled the 65 year old off the side walk into the street, at which time the victim apparently threw another punch, and his finger was bitten off.

Now mind you, having watched the video, this guy is obviously very modest, and appears to be perhaps overly non-confrontational. In otherwords, the caller on Rush’s show sounds like a more accurate telling of the story.

Typical rabid liberal.

If this victim had open carried, he would NOT have been the target selected by the Obama bloodsucking bully who followed Obama’s command to confront an opponent and “get in his face”.

And don’t throw in the Obatomy line that the victim would have escalated his response, being armed, with gunfire. Not this particular victim. He was physically AND verbally accosted by an aggressor who crossed the street to get in his face. He told the guy to back off, and defended his personal space as well as his personal identity with his fist, the traditional REAL man way to self defense when confronted by a bully who won’t back off. He got dragged into the street and had his finger bitten off. Having his finger bitten off, he dropped his guard for medical treatment, and has determined to turn and run the next time an Obama bully approaches him.

That’s one way to find resolution, give it up to God.

So when the aggressive Obama bully is the one providing medical care, give it up again?

No. And shame on the police for not having had a patrol keeping an eye on the publicly announced protest. And SHAME ON OBAMA for advising his supporters to be violent.

I don’t know if it’s because Rice is doped up on painkillers or if he’s just naturally serene, but he’s shockingly chill about what happened.

He is gripping the chair with white knuckles. He is very nervous, but he is trying to sound intelligent and reasonable.

Shame on Caputo for dragging the victim on national television and asking such stupidly rude questions. If and when you see him again, what will you do?

This victim needed an attorney or some legal advice before going on television with Caputo. Shame on FOX, giving the victim more angst to recover from, wondering if he said the right thing or not, and what Obama forces are going to do to him next. Everyone knows what Obamatrons do to opponents like Joe Wurzelbacher who say the “wrong” thing that triggers persecution/prosecution. Is FOX going to foot the victim’s legal fees should difficulties arise? When Obama gets impeached and hell freezes over with reversed Global Warming climate change.

Legitimate OPEN CARRY has irrefutable merit.

The fact a felony battery occurred and a man is harmed for life seems to get by many of the talking heads. Mark Steyn on Rush’s show found it even a bit giddy.

When I was an active police officer I had a very serious rule, if you tried to bite me, spit blood on me, or for the love of God take off an appendage, you would run the risk of getting tazed or even shot.

HIV, Hep, and other blood borne pathogens are rampant in the population. Getting mutilated is NOT part of the contract agreed upon by anyone, nor his being infected with a disease that will kill you slowly.

That poor man is going to be mutilated for LIFE! For what? Standing his ground and exercising his right to free speech?

Nothing funny here folks, or sensational. This shows how far the left will go to make you knuckle under. The bad guy there was lucky it was an old man he picked on, and not someone like me.

archer52 on September 4, 2009 at 12:21 PM

He’s 65 years old, someone got into his face and BIT OFF HIS FINGER, and he’s at fault? Even if he punched the guy?

Some whackjob bit the finger off of another human being. Literally bit off a body part. That’s not self defense, that’s just plain crazy.

To illustrate just how far we’ve dropped down the rabbit hole, if you have to even have an argument as to whether or not something like that is right, there is truly no hope for you.

GeeWhiz on September 4, 2009 at 12:24 PM

Funny thing happened to him a few years later, he was found in a Caddy DeVille in a deserted Howard Beach street with 4 gunshots in the head. It seems the little thug became/was so much of a nuisance that he pissed off the wrong passerby and the Gambinos took care of business.

City justice.

elduende on September 3, 2009 at 8:05 PM

Sounds to me he was a “wanna-be” gumba and the real mafia don’t like wanna-be’s so they took care of biz and whacked him…

archer52 on September 4, 2009 at 12:21 PM

You’re absolutely right, it’s not funny at all and the perp needs to face justice. The fact the perp picked on the old guy was not an accident, the perp is obviously not just sick but he’s a coward as well!

Liberty or Death on September 4, 2009 at 12:34 PM

Cavuto is such a tool for Faux. Old man river threw 2 punches after being called an idiot? Wow, an idiot, huh? Is that all it takes for you war-hungry, neocons to become violent? Didn’t jesus say something about turning the other cheek? Maybe this conservative christian misunderstood that to mean leave no cheek unbruised? There will be NO charges against the biter and no lawsuit because there is NO case. This guy is lucky that he only lost a finger and not his life.

According to an eyewitness account, the liberal crossed a street, a median, and another street, to confront those opposed to Obama care. He got in the old mans face, despite the fact there were several other men around, who were of like age, and build, but the liberal chose the old man. So if this 65 year old took a swipe, after being called names, confronted without cause, and assaulted…so be it.

By your words, I have to wonder…..how many swipes at babies, children, and puppies would you take, to get your point across?

How much more evidence does the world need before it becomes convinced that liberalism is a mental disorder?

No fool, when someone gets up in your face screaming, and acting in a threatening manor, and you believe harm to your body is imminent, than you have a right to defend yourself.

Didn’t jesus say something about turning the other cheek?

How dare you try and quote Jesus you prick. We all know how you libs feel about religion and especially Jesus-so don’t try your politically expedient crap now.

Maybe this conservative christian misunderstood that to mean leave no cheek unbruised?

Oh so predictable. More of the same tired, old “the perp is always the victim” CRAP from you libs.

There will be NO charges against the biter and no lawsuit because there is NO case.

Hah ha ha. You’re funny.

This guy is lucky that he only lost a finger and not his life.

Ooohh. Yeah he should have been killed huh-I mean the nerve of him using that first amendment.

Wow. They really are making the pot much stronger for you hippie libs these days huh?

Yesterday in Ventura Calif. one of our heroic supporters of ObamaCare taught some astroturfing, unpatriotic, racist, Nazi, tea bagger a lesson he won’t soon forget.

Our goon thug valiant warrior for justice put his own life at risk by walking across a busy street to confront an elderly old fart in glasses who dared to oppose Obama’s plan.

In the process of re-educating this malcontent he dragged the geezer off the sidewalk and into the street. In an act of unprovoked aggression the old man raised his hands to cover his face and our avatar of tolerance had no choice but to bite his pinkie finger right off.

Let this be a lesson to all who oppose Obama. Our zombie army of voters don’t just come out on election day. Let us all take a blood oath to teach these tools of Big Tonsil the value of a government health plan. They all need to spend some quality time in the ER.

Really, I’m funny, huh? Want to make it interesting? Does your allegiance to the Party of Nothing preclude you from putting your money where your mouth is? $1000 says NO conviction. If you lose, you can always say that you were martyred for the cause. I’ll supply the wood and nails too!
