Hey Obamabots, we the taxpayers have to pay for this “free healthcare” so DON’T BITE THE HAND THAT FEEDS YOU!
LONG FORM!
Hey Dave, he was probably protesting it, because he’s had a taste of MEDICARE! He knows better.
So.. the old guy assaulted the other guy twice, and in response the other guy bit his finger off…
Craziness ;p
I wish people would actually look directly at the proposed legislation and not just get their news from sources catering to their own biases.
The corporate-controlled status quo of healthcare offers us almost no choice while robbing us blind with poor quality treatment.
I am so tired of lies about death panels and impending dictatorship when the mob of protesters offer no viable alternative, only rancor.
Left and right really need to find some common ground and begin a healing process because our political debate is spinning out of control, which will ensure that our country continues to fall apart.
By the way, all you idiots who think that revolution is a good idea… acts of violence will guarantee that our precious liberties contract further, and even if you succeed, keep in mind you better have a real good plan to build a better society afterwards or a dictator actually will arise to fill the power vacuum.
The guy who is being interviewed is covered by medicare.
“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”
http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20090903/ap_on_re_us/us_finger_severed_2
And let the record show, not only did this guy throw the first punch, he also threw the second.
Also, would a truly religious person punch the guy repeatedly??
[...] original post here: Man Who Lost Finger to Bite by ObamaCare Supporter Tells Story to Cavuto Filed Under: Latest News [...]
An honest, forthright fellow. Too bad he had to run into one of Obama’s brownshirted, jackbooted cannibal thugs.
He ate his finger with fava beans and fine chianti.
America…just goes to prove that the blind worshippers of Bilderberg Bush-Obama…the Messiah of the Nation of Islam…are Democratzi rabid attack dogs!
Can you imagine…being so angry…so ugly…that you would bite so hard to remove a person’s finger?
America…that is hatred…this is sick…and that man is a prime example of a Democratzi!
Someone knows who this man is. His picture is there…there were witnesses!
I hope that a “real” American will stand up and turn this angry dog in to the police where he can be prosecuted for his unhuman actions!
Don’t be intimidated, don’t let them demean us…we are right…they know we are right and are closing in!
Keep up the good work, America.
And to this brave “real” American…GOD bless you for your forgiving spirit and may GOD grant you a speedy recovery of your injury!
======================
THE REVOLUTION OF THE SILENT MAJORITY – SILENT NO MORE!
1. GETTING INFORMED
2. GETTING INVOLVED
DON’T TREAD ON US…WE PAY YOUR BILLS IN WASHINGTON AND IN YOUR HOMES…BUT WE WON’T BE STARTING IN 2010 AND BEYOND…GUARANTEED!
IMPEACHMENT OR THE ‘ORIGINAL’ KENYAN BIRTH CERTIFICATE…IT IS JUST A MATTER OF TIME!
A mildly educated person would know the bill contains $500 million in
cuts to medicare. Perhaps that he why he is protesting, perhaps he doesnt want Obama deciding if he gets his finger put back on his hand. Without liberals, who would we laugh at?
Poor Dem-wit supporter of the B.O. administration… I’m sure he was just hungry. One works up a big appetite while out agitating for a statist controlled society.
Well hello, Clarice. Ffffththththth
You’re out of your mind, Eileen.
Yes we cannibal!
Dave, of course he was protesting Obama care – Prez O plans to cut Medicare by billions to fund Obamacare. To find the idiot, look in the mirror.
Care for a finger donut?
As for Dan Cannel’s comment,
Yeah, a 65 year old throws a punch when taunted repeatedly by one of Obama’s thugs. You know, I’m guessing he wasn’t hurt too bad. I’m sure later on, the same dude was hit by and infant and bit off it’s hand.
Keep on spinning, but the disproportionate evil response from the left is what sinks you rats.
More proof that Neanderthals got Obama elected and many still support his stupid healthcare proposals.
Heck, Medicare alone is going to bankrupt our country in a few years without even passing this crazy government healthcare plan.
I wish the Democrats would quit lying about their intentions to bankrupt America and turn us into a government police state.
Turns out the guy who had his finger bitten off at a healthcare reform rally had initiated the fight, and threw TWO punches … with the second punch landing his finger into the other guy’s mouth.
As far as I’m concerned, that should be a lesson to him. He’s hardly the “good guy” here. And though I certainly don’t approve of this kind of violence, the cheshire-grinning little demon in me wonders if the counter-demonstrator’s views will be affected at all by what will surely be a steep medical bill. :)
Don’t fight with the democRATS!
Just give them the finger!
Dave, he has been paying taxes for Medicare since it was started. He is entitled to be on Medicare. And who better to judge government run health care then someone who is on it.
Yes Dave, and as any senior citizen can tell you Medicare sucks! Most seniors that want decent care must purchase supplimental insurance, plus pay for the medicare.
Good thing he had immediate access to health care. Oh, the irony…
Surprised that this obomoid didn’t go for his crank. Libs are well-known gaybos.
heh…right wing news headline “HEALTHCARE PROTESTER ATTACKED! HAS FINGER BITTEN OFF!” left wing news headline..”ANTI-GOVERNMENT PROTESTER GIVES PATRIOT THE FINGER!”
I just wanted to say that, I have nothing serious to say :)
“He was “PROTESTING GOVERNMENT RUN CARE” and HE WAS ON MEDICARE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! What an idiot.”
He was probably protesting because he has first hand experience with the way the government runs things.
It’s official: Blood has been spilled, appendages severed.
LET’S GET IT ON!
lol
Government Run Healthcare and the current Medicare system are two completely different things, Dave. Also, Obamacare would effectively shut down Medicare. Are you delusional?
Men throw punches sometimes. Only a liberal would act like an animal and bite off someone’s finger.
I am so glad that the media has come out and told the world of the right wing nuts that run the street at these Town Hall meetings. Wait what did you say, that was an error in the LA Times story, it was actually the Obama supporter that bit the finger off the protester. Oh my word, will the media report this… I haven’t seen any corrections. The only one I have seen was the AP on http://www.americanparchment.com. They came out with the a fair retail, but I really like how this guy tells it.
Why are people continuing to point to Medicare as if it were a good thing?
It’s $54,000,000,000,000 in the red. That’s right, 54 trillion dollars.
FIRST BLOOD?
We already have the not-so-bright Obamatrons posting. Dave, simply because he has been FORCED to be on government health care (medicare) does not mean that he wants or likes it. Please, try to think about the issue before posting!!!!! Oh, you’re an Obamatron – no thinking allowed.
This will be an interesting case. Was he provoked? That, as you know, is always the defense in an interacial brawl (which this wasn’t). Throwing the first punch takes some steam out of the issue, but at least there are a bunch of witnesses. I’ll bet the biter is lawyering up right now. On the other hand (no pun intended), good one, Chucky
Yeah, and who in their right mind equates throwing punches to biting fingers off?
Oh, probably the same people who think waterboarding is the same as cutting peoples’ balls off.
Hey, Dave. If you are over 65 years old you are forced to sign up for Medicare. Seems that you are the ignorant “idiot”.
If you have any info on the Finger Fiend Fugitive, call Cuvoto immediately!
The fact that he was protesting government run health care and is on Medicare tells me that he knows precisely how much federal health care sucks. Purple Heart to this casualty of the war against the rising American Fascism.
These crazed MoveOn zealots are not about to let freedom of speech happen at a protest.
I know people who receive Medicare and they don’t like it. They’re forced into the government program and were forced to pay into the government system for decades. They have no choice but to be on the government plantation for “free” medical care.
If Obama’s “reform” happens, $500 billion will be cut from Medicare – then even less doctors will accept them as patients. The doctors will quit.
Medicare protesters are not hypocrites. They’re stuck in government health care hell and want to warn the rest of you how it’s going to be. The government will control you.
Well this Jerk HAS GOVERNMENT HEALTH CARE, AND HE IS PROTESTING IT??? He also sounds violent, he threw the first punch, well I bet he will think again about punching someone first. How much did it cost the tax payers to wait on this guy? Maybe he should pay that money back since he does not like government insurance programs.
I feel bad that he lost his finger. Did anyone else have a hard time not laughing during some of the interview questions?
Help take a bit out of crime. Find the finger biter!
Dave, unless your part of a union, a retired federal employee, or are still working beyond the age of 65, seniors don’t have much choice about being on Medicare. By law, they have little choice. They can go on “Advantage” plans, almost 3 million seniors have, however part of the Obamacare plan does away with these plans. Talk to any senior that has JUST Medicare, they will tell you it sucks! Without suppliment coverage provided by PRIVATE insurance carriers, your out of pocket $ exposure is enormous. Do you know how many Dr’s will not treat people covered by Medicare? Don’t you have to wonder why? Why do you think AARP has become such a large organization, approx. 40 million members? The MAIN reason is to take advantage of discounts on their Medicare suppliments! If Medicare was such a good plan, why would seniors need suppliments?
“He was “PROTESTING GOVERNMENT RUN CARE” and HE WAS ON MEDICARE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! What an idiot. It’s too bad about his finger, but if he knew he was already on government run care maybe he wouldn’t have gone to this rally in the first place.”
First of all genius, there’s a good chance that he had NO CHOICE but to be on Medicare, because his employer or private health plan dumped him when he hit 65. It happens all the time. They say “sorry, but you have Medicare now” and cancel your plan. Incidentally, that’s EXACTLY what will happen if the “private option” comes into play. That’s why the CBO says over 100 million people WILL lose their private insurance under this plan. Oh, and the fact that nobody will be ALLOWED to sign up for new private plans if they change insurance for any reason.
Second of all Mr. Mind Reader, how do you know he doesn’t know? He probably knows very well. Unlike your side, conservatives actually read bills and know what’s going on.
Third, he DESERVES his government-run Medicare……..he PAID for it. I know this is an alien concept for a liberal, but generally when one pays for something, they expect to get it. WE don’t expect “free” health care, because we know better. On the other hand, most conservatives would be more than happy to sign papers exempting us from both Social “Security” AND Medicare if we could stop the government from taking that money out of our checks against our will.
Don’t try the “hypocrite on Medicare” line on us, loser. We PAID for this crap and we don’t even want it.
You liberals, on the other hand, want stuff you didn’t pay for and probably never will.
This man is right. Losing a pinky is minimal compared to what the government is going to do to the populace. Be prepared to lose everything to this 60’s radical revolution.
Fight back………….
JUST SAY NO
JUST SAY NO
to everything they do.
Dave:
Perhaps the man was protesting government run health care because he is on Medicare and sees the failings of government run anything.
In the words of that great twentieth century philosopher, Bugs Bunny
“What a maroon”.
shouldn’t have put his finger where it didn’t belong!
Don’t go pointing fingers. We don’t know the finger biter’s side of the story, yet.
Does he have a choice whether to be on Medicare? He won’t with ObamaCare.
This guy admits to throwing the first punch and then he’s hailed as a hero by Fox?!? The other gentleman called him an idiot, then Rice resorts to violence and gets what’s coming to him for punching another guy, and then its spun like thi?? I was there and I testified against this guy to the Sheriff’s department for committing assault on the gentleman who bit his finger off in self defense. Rice should be in jail for assault, plain and simple.
The balls of him then to use Medicare to get his finger fixed.
@Dave -No, first of all, he has contributed into Social Security for 47 years – so he is not some leech in the “projects” who will getting free health care. 2: Everybody retired is on Medicare, and the mismanagement and bankruptcy of that fiasco simply gives hims moral authority to criticize government run health care. Dave: what kind of Animal are you justifying a man that bites off another man’s finger. And what kind of Animals are Obama supporters. Do you leftists really want this to become violent? I’ll tell all of you leftists, if you confront me at a protest, I will take a page out of Bushes book and strike pre-emptively and with utter devastation. I will feel that if you confront me, my life will be in danger and I will respond accordingly.
Like a mad dog shoot the biter!
The guy was not just standing at a distance. He was getting close and closer to the other guy, yelling in his face and acting dangerously. The first ATTACK therefore came from the guy that bit the finger off.
Uh… if some idiot started punching me in the face to express his political convictions… I’d bite his finger off too… doesn’t matter which side of the debate he’s on.
So, Dave – because the guy’s on medicare that means he doesn’t have free speech rights? that means he should just shut up and let the socialists in America take over the free market? that means it’s OK for him to be assaulted?
Look in the mirror when throwing the word “idiot” around.
-
I thought because he was 65 and retired that is why he was on Medicare
BTW, the only people that resort to biting during a fist fight are girls, punk boys, & Mike Tyson. (I apologize to girls who fight fair).
Hahahaha. Medicare, huh? IDIOT. Sounds like he threw the first punch. So what does he expect? We could always pay for more weapons so these people could kill each other. Viola! No healthcare needed! Warmongers do make sense after all.
Dave I notice that also. That is what he gets for waving a finger full of hate and mis knowlegde at a person who is
trying to protect themselves. That hating waving finger deserved to be biting by someone who was standing up
for themselves in defence. Mr One less finger should finger out he is living off goverment helath care anyways.
He should apologise for being stupid about where his health care money comes from – haha its the goverment the
very thing he is all protesty about. Mr Finger in a bun should research why he is protesting against the Obama
health care bill he just might leave the dark side of the force and join the unhating good side of the force.
I’m confused. They take out medicare from your paycheck for your entire working life. Then at 65 they force you onto medicare, by the way, that you have already paid for. Then a socialist nut job gets in the White House and plans to cover illegal aliens on government health insurance by cutting $500 billion dollars from the plan you paid into for all your working life. And then you are an “idiot” because you use your “government run health care” that you paid for and continue to pay for. Hey, Dave, who is the idiot? Wait until you get there – hope it’s soon, social security goes into deficit in about 2 to 3 years, medicare shortly after. That’s because the people you support refused any type of reform or controls – all the while they paid for “the great society” with the social security and medicare reciepts. Ha ha. There’s a ton of IOUs from HUD, DoE, etc. How does HUD pay back billions in IOUs to Social Security? Ha ha ha. But don’t protest because you are on food stamps. Ha ha.
Get rid of the death panels and the abortion funding too!
It is very difficult to imagine the country making those decisions just through the normal political channels. And that’s part of why you have to have some independent group that can give you guidance.
—President Barack Obama in a New York Times interview on how costly medical decisions should be made.
“Medicare–it’ll bite the hand that feeds you”!!!
I should have not had my head where it did not belong.
Up Obama’s behind.
Well this just confirms what I knew since the election… Moveon.org is full of PSYCHO’s. Thanks Barry Hussein!
Nothing to see here people, move along. Dear Leader expects more from you next time.
IceCream Rover – living off government health care? Do you even have a basic understanding of how Medicare is funded? Have you ever even worked and got a pay stub? Notice the deduction for Medicare?
But I guess they don’t deduct medicare from a welfare check. Go back to your crackpipe, loser.
It’s on!!!!
Come on you cry- baby libs!!!!!!!!!!!! Your messiah can’t save you!
Class war – race war that is what Obama wants!
We are ready and waiting for you!
Bring it on! We can defend ourselves!
Let’s go!
Don’t go pointing fingers. Wait till you hear the finger biter’s side of the story.
Proves that democrats really did evolve. Just not much further than chimps. Mean chimps.
John Hartman: if that is in fact your name you have more guts than most Code Pink Supporters. neverteless, you ave it a bit backwards the Code Pink criminal approeched him no the other way around. My experience with this dicusting little group wa in 2007 when I was at the Nnaval Hospital at Balboa and these creeps used to play drumsat night to keep the wounded up. If our troops did this the our detainees we would be called “war Criminal” but if some lety group does it they are “progressive”.
It’s come to this. The raging liberal moonbats have become such lazy bums that not only will they even try to get a job, get an education and take personal responsibility for their own lives, they are now too lazy to take the free bus ride down to the food stamp office to pick up their weekly entitlements. Instead of “gubment” cheese, spam and koolaid, they now settle for cannibalism.
The laziest, non-productive, self-entitled, whining, crying generation our country has ever witnessed. Maybe abortion isn’t such a bad thing after all.
To those bloggers who feel that the victim who got his finger bitten-off HAS NOT RIGHTS BECAUSE HE’S ON MEDICARE: Those of us 60-years and older HAVE PAID FOR MANY, MANY, MANY, MANY YEARS into the Medicare system WHICH ENTITLES US SENIORS TO “MEDICARE”—that’s the way the system was created! Also, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled quite some time ago that if someone “gets in your personal space, looks you directly in the eye and calls you a name, then YOU have the RIGHT to ‘defend yourself’, either VERBALLY or PHYSICALLY”. It is the Supreme Courts decision on “FIGHTING WORDS”.
Let Me tell you something Joel, besides me believing that you are some ignorant uneducated provincial lout Palinite from bucktook, Alabama or Hayseed, Kansas or Ding Dong, Tennessee, YOU need to realize that 40% of America is on GOVERNMENT INSURANCE!!!. THATS RIGHT when you factor all the worthless government/state workers, then the the trigger pulling monkeys in the military, THEY ALL GET GOVERNMENT RUN HEALTH CARE. You say they paid into it? OK lets look at this, say one of your blessed seniors from Ding Dong Tennessee paid into social security for 30 years, how much really is that? if he gets ONE HEART ATTACK, Medicare,i.e. the government i.e. the tax payer is out over 500K! YOUR GD SENIOR NEVER PAID THAT MUCH INTO THE SYSTEM HIS WHOLE republican voting worthless life. This country is going to do right by the PEOPLE OF AMERICA, we no longer will service the restroom needs of big-business. I don’t care how many rednecks,right wing-nut, Cheney worshiping kooks come out of Palin’s/Joe the Plumbers closet. Now let me get back to reading the obits to see how many worthless Republican seniors bit the dust POWER THE PEOPLE!!!
This cop strikes back with a tune that slaps the Left on health care–’Barractologist.’ Where? @
They left out the part that the Moveon.org commie thug deliberately CROSSED THE STREET to attack Bill. Bill was simply defending himself from a crazy loon leftist thug. Bill was very wise when he said this is more than about health care. It’s the final straw for many people as they see their once proud, free, strong nation kowtowed and turned into a weak, controlled, welfare state.
Dave — Did you listen to the interview? No where was the phrase “protesting government run care” used that I could see. The phrase used throughout was “health care reform.” Medicare is government(tax payer)funded (no, not “government run” — private physicians get reimbursed [eventually] with our tax dollars. So…..who is the idiot?
“A Nation which can prefer disgrace to danger, is prepared for a master, and deserves one.”
- Alexander Hamilton
The man who lost his finger isn’t prepared for a master, kudos to him for not being intimidated by Obama’s thugs.
Funny, all the libs, makin excuses for this guy. What a pusscake, but we all know that libs can’t fight.OOOOOH A 65 year old man is throwing punches at me. I can’t duck or hit back, i’ll just bite his finger off !
Bad idea to have thrown a punch at all, if he was not physically threatened. This sounds like it escalated out of control on both sides, although biting off a finger is just plain weird.
Just because this guy is on Medicare does not mean he backs government healthcare. That is such a stupid argument.They said the same thing about socialism and Social Security. NO, many of us do not like those programs, but we have paid into them our entire lives and deserve to get some of that back, at least until the system can be improved.
The libs and Dems called the anti-Obama plan protestors at these town hall meetings ‘un-American’, Nazi’s, and all sorts of other names (their blogging backers as usual were even worse). And yet…who is it that’s physically assaulting others (older people, at that)? Which part is it that’s faking attacks on their own headquarters (the transgendered freak in Colorado)? When it comes to actual, physical acts, it’s OBAMA’s bunch that are doing it, NOT the dissenters (many of whom, like myself, have nothing to do with the weak and stupid GOP). If you Dems don’t want to suffer the same fate as the GOP with us independents, you’d best tone down YOUR rhetoric, cut the fakery, and acknowledge there are serious, SERIOUS issues with your side, as well. Obama is NOT like many people thought he’d be. He’s a bitter, bitter disappoinment, except to his most die-hard, core, partisan supporters. You really need to be less rigid, and ACKNOWLEDGE your own side’s shortcomings. You’ve turned a blind eye to this (and in fact have actively made a HABIT of demonizing independents like me), and it’s costing you quite dearly, in case you hadn’t noticed. Obama’s approval is now at 45% with Rassmussen, and 42% with Zogby. He’s dropping like a rock. You guys had better wake up, and FAST. Any name-calling, taunting or baiting of me in response to this post will only make it that much worse, for you guys — because lots more people are reading, seeing, and remembering your words and attitude. And none of this ‘well, if you were REALLY an independent, you’d agree with Obama!’ I’ve heard that dribble before, and it’s ALSO counter-productive to say. As a true independent, I agree/disagree with politicians on BOTH sides. SHAPE UP, Obama people. You’re losing us. You’re LOSING us.
You can bet your ass that the left wing animal with an appetite for fingers did something to cause that gentleman to punch him. That’s the avarage I.Q.of your left wing communist asshol-! Someone yelled,”get your finger-food here”! They should have ripped his nuts off and fed them to him as a chaser! That’s a little Joe Biden humor folks. RIGHT! DON’T FORGET TO VOTE THESE COMMUNIST ASSHOL-S OUT OF OFFICE!
But, officer? He said “Bite me!”
Hey Dave – a man on medicare doesn’t get a vote? He has kids and they have kids. They don’t get a say? Just shut them up huh! Is that what you want? Maybe you didn’t read the bill but, they want to take from the old people on medicare and give it to the lazy blubbering fools.The old people paid their dues. They built this country. They deserve better. We deserve freedom from government. The constitution is the law of the land! You don’t deserve free medical care Dave! Nothing is free. All you crazy a$$ Lib’s are in for a big surprise! This country wasn’t built or defended by the Liberal crazies. They were out sitting in the bushes whining. The people that built and protect this country are ready and waiting. We will do whatever it takes to protect this nation including sacrificing our fingers!
Good luck! You are going to need it when the sh!% hits the fan!
Senior citizens who are denied life-saving treatments, depending upon THEIR AGE—actually, the Government Panel (Commission) who would be making those decisions are—-in fact, DEATH PANELS. They will be deciding WHAT KIND OF TREATMENT SENIORS CAN HAVE, BASED UPON A GOVERNMENT FORMULA–OR WHETHER THOSE SENIORS WILL BE GIVEN TREATMENT AT ALL! SO MANY “seniors” have already DIED in Great Britain BECAUSE THEY WERE DENIED LIFE-SAVING TREATMENT, USUALLY BECAUSE THE GOVERNMENT’S “HEALTH PANEL” CONSIDERED LIFE-SAVING TREATMENT “TOO EXPENSIVE”. Such panels ARE, in fact, DEATH PANELS! (You don’t have to be a rocket scientist to figure this one out!!!)
What the heck is going on with this page? There were 79 comments when I posted mine and now it’s down to 62, with my original comment gone? I didn’t think Brietbart censored conservatives.
“atomic811 September 3rd, 2009 – 6:29 pm
I thought because he was 65 and retired that is why he was on Medicare”
It is. The moonbats haven’t quite thought it through yet, though. As usual, they don’t “get it.”
Obama’s plan would require CUTTING Medicare benefits, deeply, in order to pay for the free entitlements of the lazy bum youth generation. In other words, Obama’s plan would have robbed this guy of what little he has now. And as we all saw, from the bill, it wasn’t very generous to the elderly. In fact, so “unfriendly,” they actually removed the “death squads” clause.
Tort reform is the ONLY way to get health care costs down, but as Howard Dean recently said, his party doesn’t have to backbone to go after tort reform because his party is OWNED by the sleaze bag ambulance chasing lawyers that file frivolous lawsuits that drive up the cost of malpractice insurance and health care in the first place.
It always seems to be the case with the nutjob democrats. They never try to fix the obvious.
As to who was the agressor at best this will be mutual combat.
if some one commits something called “closure” it is considered an agressive act. a good example is an incident with Buzz Aldrin were a nut case just like the Cope Pink creep here backed him up and Buzz poped him one. the creep who attacked Aldrin cen be heard saying you get it on film? the fact is when the Police saw the video they found correctly that the nut case was the agressor. If this had been backwards the lefty creeps would be pointing out the the Code Pink Thug should not have crossed the road. Lastly the victim here was honest about the rwo punches something on Code Pink lying Nazi thug would ever do. Proof being the coward ran away just like all his supporters on this page would do.
you know, i don’t mind that people get agitated over health policy.
but the comparisons of obama to hitler, the federal government to dictatorship, and american political parties to nazis… those comparisons are extremely ignorant.
obama’s healthcare reform isn’t the nazi’s 25-point program, for chrissakes, it’s not even close to FDR’s new deal.
the people who make these comparisons should take a look at the civil rights of other countries and realize we have it better here than almost everywhere else… the fact that americans can talk openly so much trash on their government officials is strong proof of that.
if you think america is anything resembling dictatorship you should actually read up on what dictatorship actually does to a society… what you’re protesting is chickenfeed.
40% of the country is on government health ins. The Military, the seniors ect. Those seniors will take out FAR MORE than they ever put in when you combine Medicare and SS. I say IF THEY COMPLAIN give them all a refund for what they put in plus interest and TAKE THEM OFF THE PROGRAM. I bet you wont have many takers!!!. These right wing repukes make me ill. They are really uninformed out there in red state uneducated America.
Try that out west and your dead.
Everybody is “packin”.
Pick on the “old” man and when he throws a punch bite him! HA!
Send that guy out west. He won’t last a minute!
California the land of fruits and nuts! Bet you people wish you could defend yourselves in Cali like us!
This was the worst interview I’ve seen in awhile. He should have started with the facts. I’m still not sure who started the fight or why. According to the victim, he threw two punches before the guy bit his finger off. Why did he punch the guy twice? Did the biter intiate the altercation? Why did the biter pick this guy? What words were exchanged? It didn’t help that the guy was a smart ass with his curt, non-descriptive answers, but Neil could have done better getting specifics.
Note in the comment how the Obamites use the old Communist tactic of stifling debate by saying this guy had no right to protest because he is on Medicare.
Then… by that logic The Iraq Veterans Against the War and the whole Winter Soldier/Anti-war groups can’t protest because they were in the Military and fought in a war?
Pathetic… the 1st Amendment applies equally to everyone this guy could be on Medicare, Welfare, Food Stamps and he can have any opinion he wants. You can’t enslave someone because they receive money from the Government.
CNN lied again: Jessica Yellin said:”The man didn’t want to have his pinky reattached”!!!!!
There are alot of people protesting government run health care that are on medicare. and i think they know that medicare is government run. Medicare is for people over 65 or people that are disabled “aka people who cannot work” the reason people are protesting is that obama and the libs or progressives “communists” would like to expand this type of program to everybody. medicare is broke and can be restrictive and government run healthcare would make it hard for insurance companies to compete. there is alot of questions but no answers over a thousand pages of confusing rhetoric that people are having a hard time understanding. What is the motive how is it going to be paid for will there be rationing how is this all justified an answer to reference medicare as an example which is broken. unemployment is on the rise and the majority of citizens get health care thru their employer why not kill 2 birds with one stone this should be the number one issue. remember bill clinton its the economy stupid!!!
The biter crossed the road to confront a peaceful demonstrator. He acted aggressive and this man fought back and lost a finger.
Do you have any idea how hard it would be to bite off a finger?
Yes he did it on purpose..crunch crunch, rip, tear off. gross
Try that out here, well RIP
Maybe we can get this guy to run for office. A 65 yr old, who cold-cocks a whiney protester gets my vote all day long!!!!!
>>The corporate-controlled status quo of healthcare offers us almost no choice while robbing us >>blind with poor quality treatment.
Do Leftards really understand how stupid they sound? The problem is choice? Really ? The problem is poor care, Really? And you answer to that is to lock americans into a government run program managed by the same people that cant get anything right?
Typical Obama Rhetoric …
—

Tommy J did you just crawl over to your computer and peck out a message. Are you able to read? Can you understand english enough to read the health care bill? In between stuffing your face with twinkies maybe you should try! The seniors have paid into the system for longer than you! They have lived trough stuff that would make you cripple in fear. You are a lazy sloth that wants something for nothing! You aren’t going to get it. Because your messiah can’t give it to you. Only about 5% of america can’t “really” afford healthcare. So you go back to dealing “crack” and crying about your problems to all your loser lib friends. Let the rest of us take care of ourselves! The RED STATES defend and built this country. Your people tear it down. We are ready and waiting.
We’ve allowed crazies to cross our borders illegally, to live within our society and release criminals from jail due to budget cuts while continuing the funding services for illegals. We are witnessing the results of our stupidity. Get used to it, unless you have the conviction to stop it.

Sure the hero hit the asshol- first. That guy came at him in a threatening manner. It’s called “beating your opponant to the punch”! GET READY FOLKS,HUSSEIN IS SENDING OUT HIS GOON SQUADS!
The Doctor shed a tear, put the pinky in a matchbox, saluted, and draped a little flag postage stamp over it.
All of you “control the arguement with mis-information” people, you are leaving out the real beginning. It appears these two groups were separated by a street, as counter protesters should be, until the “aggressive finger biter” crossed the street in a threatening manner, and then got in the face of this older counter protester. Once somebody you don’t know has come aggressively at you to get in your face (within your “personal space” as Obama himself suggested that his supporters do during the campaign), a person can feel threatened, and a punch or two, or more, is self-defense to an aggressor. The incident seems to have begun when the finder-biting Obamanite already had the attack under way.
“IceCream Rover September 3rd, 2009 – 6:31 pm
Dave I notice that also. That is what he gets for waving a finger full of hate and mis knowlegde at a person who is
trying to protect themselves. That hating waving finger deserved to be biting by someone who was standing up
for themselves in defence. Mr One less finger should finger out he is living off goverment helath care anyways.
He should apologise for being stupid about where his health care money comes from – haha its the goverment the
very thing he is all protesty about. Mr Finger in a bun should research why he is protesting against the Obama
health care bill he just might leave the dark side of the force and join the unhating good side of the force.”
This clip perfectly captures the mental state of the above poster:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RWpU8sX10_4
The same poster is desperately trying to buy a t-shirt with the new Democrat Slogan “YES WE CANNIBALS”
To those of you criticizing the fact that the guy was on Medicare: It’s not that difficult to understand. He doesn’t want to diminish his current Medicare benefits by adopting ObamaCare. Nobody seems to be able to explain how we’re going to add another 40M people who don’t pay into the system without rationing care or diminishing benefits. No wonder the guy was protesting. I wouldn’t want to lose those benefits, either.
The guy comes across the street asking for a fight and then when he gets the fight, bites off a pinky.
Cannibal.
freak.
Good answer, “Health care is nothing but a front for them to take what is left of our freedoms away” So many agree. Wish people were not so afraid of educating themselves. If it is not “Fast Food” They would like no part of it. History has much to teach us all!
Tomas: Bravo for telling it like it is. I love it when the FAR LEFT WING nut jobs (aka: Marxist-Socialist) claim freedom of speech but only for themselves and not for others. I’m 67 and on Medicare and if that ObamaCare Moron approached me he would have received multiple punches to his face, groin and stomach. It was the OBAMA PROTESTOR who crossed the street and got into Mr Rice’s face. I only hope and pray that the police catch that sicko and put him behind bars.
The BITE heard around the world! People are turning into ravenous Obamazombies! Whats next? Protestors biting into peoples skulls to eat their brains? New upcoming movie: “Night of the Living Deadocrats”
Note to self: Wear Kevlar Gloves To Next Tea Party!
Why does the ridiculous actions of a liberal surprise anyone. One they run out of their “Daily KOS” talking points this is all they can revert to, idiocy.
I love the children defending the idiot that did the biting. I am sure as a liberal he picked the littlest guy did his deed and ran like a liberal. They stand for nothing other than helping murders, cheating on taxes, molesting children and smoking dope.

The hypocrisy of these certified Left Wing Lunatics! This liberal was supposedly supporting HEALTH CARE — GET THAT… H E A L T H C A R E. So what does he do? He yells down a 65 year old man who disagreed with him. Insulting, provoking and making personal attacks. When fists start flying, this complete idiot chomps off his finger! OMG What a rabid animal this liberal jerk is. Sure, he’s all for compassionate health care. THEY TALK A GREAT GAME. BUT DON’T BUY IT. THEIR ACTIONS BETRAY THEIR WORDS.

Tired of Division: Compromise? Why should freedom-loving people “Compromise” with any of this so-called health “reform?” Mr. Rice, who lost his finger, is right. This isn’t about health care, but rather the means by which the Government will control are lives for purposes of “social justice” (code word for Totalitarian gov’t designted to take from the Seniors who were productive (i.e., taxpayers) in their early live and give it to UNproductive offspring of Hippies from the 60’s).
How about this compromise? I will agree with the Bill as it stands if Abortion is Kept Legal–and the Federal Governtment MANDATES that EACH AND EVERY LIBERAL/DEMOCRAT baby is aborted!

Now, is that what happened during the last American Revolution? OR are you describing what really happened to Germany when people worshiped Hitler like a superstar, they agreed with everything he said, they let him indoctrinate their children, hire people who only answered to him, accused anyone who did not look like him an outcasts, and last but not least used media to shove his agenda to the point people were passive and accepted anything he did??? Which was it-ANY History buffs out there???? Do educate-
Anyone?
If Mr. Biter was just “protecting himself” how come he hasn’t come forward? Why is he hiding? If this is self defense, why did he run off like the Mr. Chick N. Sh** ? I can’t wait for someone to recognize him & call the cops.
He had chicken fingers in his mouth and he wanted just a bite.

Dear RonFrom Hollywood
IT’S ACTUALLY ABOUT 8TH or 9TH BLOOD.
This just proves Obama supporters fight like little girls. The guy had no business crossing to the other group. I am sure he did it with hopes of being attacked. The funny thing is when this brain child crossed the street, started the altercation he meant to, and bit off the guys finger then after the master plan was in motion he ran away, What a hero lol
He is not a hero.
He attacked another person and came out worse for ware… And the kicker is the fact this 65 year old protesting government insurance was able to go to the hospital receive treatment with his government insurance.
This is your hero of the right? The only ideology of the right remaining is blissful ignorance.

Well, good thing that he doesn’t want to sue because he really doesn’t have a case. Doesn’t mean I’d decide for the biter, as he’s still criminally liable. If you throw a punch and you get your finger bitten off in the process, you don’t really have clean hands in the eyes of the law and must accept the consequences of your actions.
Lets hope they get this O’Bumer digit chewing moron. His punishment should be in keeping with Shria Law

RESTORE IT!!
I am so happy to see the Obama supporters supporting this man not having privacy when it comes to his health care. I am against this load of crap Obama is pushing on us, and guess what I have VA care any time I want it That is why those of you that blindly fallow this without the experience of government run health care should really listen to all us who have VA benefits, Medicare or Medicaid.
WTF,
this guys assaults another man, by punching him in the mouth! wtf did this guy think was going to happen, i am a teacher and i know i teach my students that if someone calls you names, or diagrees with them the first thing to do is NOT to punch the other person!
Anyone who thinks this guy is a hero like cavuto says is INSANE!!! So same person would react with violence! ALL this guy did was call him an idiot!
I thought we as a nation were above this…it appears sadly we are not!
this man is the true diversion!
I wonder if the govnt picked his doctor, since he is on medicare! Probably not! and isnt it convenient that neil didnt even pose any question about his healthcare how was it, since is being taken care on the taxpayers dime
I was on active duty with the Air Force, and the only way my dependents could get dental care was to get a space available slot in the dental chair in the month of my birth. You had to wait until the 1st of the birth month to call and make an appointment for them. Every year when I called at 8am on the 1st, I found out the dentists were booked solid for the month. SO, my dependents got no dental care unless I paid for it on the economy out of my pocket. This is the type of care you get with a nationalized health care system. Now that I am retired, I am on a outsourced private insurance company that the government covers because I am a retired veteran. Comments like the guy who says “this guy is already on a government health care system, so why is he demonstrating against this one?” are really incredibly ignorant. Everyone on medicare knows that a nationalized system will be diluted to a system much worse then they currently are covered under. Just look at California. The economy is down and teachers are being furloughed. What makes you think you will get adequate healthcare under that sort of system?
First, the guy said he threw a punch when the other came at him, so I would guess he felt threatened. And, since the guy was crazy enough to bite off his finger, I am sure he legitimately felt threatened.
But, as in all things, if you favor Obama, then you love that he bit his finger off. Of course, if the person whose finger was bitten off was the Pro-health care protester, Oh, then Katy bar the door, the outrage and hue and cry would be all over the air waves and Move ON would be mobilizing people, etc.
Aside from that, the hospital person said he was on Medicare, but she also said the finger was attached. as we know, that was not true and maybe the Medicare thing was not true.
BUT, NEVERTHELESS, THERE IS A BIG DIFFERENCE BETWEEN GIVING PEOPLE WHO ARE APPROACHING THE END OF LIFE AND ARE NO LONGER WORKING, FREE, GOVERNMENT BASED HEALTH CARE AND GIVING ABLE BODIED PEOPLE WHO ARE WORKING A HAND OUT.
That’s a lot more serious than any of my “3 wounds” from when I served in Vietnam.
Oh well, protesting the leftist thugs in Amerika, can be dangerous to your health. http://www.liveshot.cc/billions_and_billions.htm
I am totally against Obamacare, but I will say in the interest of fairness that this guy, as nice as he seems, threw the first (and second) punch. He’s not a hero.
Sue the sick, out-of-control bastard for everything he has. These sick, Socialist retards should have no problem with a real victim taking from THEM for a change.
The fallen valiant pinky will be laid to rest in Arlinton VA cemetary in a mahogany matchbox coffin from FingerHut. Kazoos will play Sting’s haunting ballad, “Wrapped Around Your Finger.”
First of all, he paid into Medicare, so either the government should cover him or pay him the money back plus interest. Second, nobody said he opposes reform. He opposes ObamaCare. I have no problem with reform. I have a problem with Obamacare. He’s not a doctor, but he pretends to be one on TV.
And he walked into the ER and got the same immediate care he would have no matter who he was and thats why we have the best safety net on the planet
I have the answer to all of this. We can solve this crisis with two pieces of legislation.
1) Make all medical/dental/vision insurance companies illegal in the United States and Possessions. The president says they are evil, so Barack, put up or shut up. Work with Congress and make them illegal.
2) Prove to the world you are not owned by the American Bar Association. Cap all medical malpractice damages to twice the cost of the operation/procedure. Also set lawyers fees at 10% of all net proceeds resulting from the suit.
This would do away with two ‘evils’ and force Americans to grow up and handle their own health care. I’ll bet the cost of health care would go down immediately. Don’t you?
After all, we’re all adults here. Why shouldn’t we all be responsible for our own health care? Why would we look for a handout, begging like illegal immigrants or other human debris?
Why wouldn’t we act like adults and take care of ourselves and our own families? Why do any of us need a mommy or a daddy (the U.S. govt.) to take care of us?
Unless of course, you dropped out of school, had a child (or two or more) out of wedlock, have no skills, leach off of other people, have scared off all your friends and family, smoke, drink or do drugs, or are just a worthless hunk of consuming protoplasm, then I guess you would need a mommy or a daddy. So why not call them and ask for help and stop stealing the hard earned dollars of the American workers?

3. Guy # 1 then does what? Asks Guy # 2 to stick out his pinky?
4. Guy # 2 obliges and Guy # 1 proceeds to bite it off?

I’m a conservative and against socialized healthcare, but this guy was clearly involved in a fist fight in which he initiated. The other guy who bit his finger off was merely defending himself. Anything goes in a street fight brawl. I don’t have any sympathy for this guy.
This is absolutely abominable! This guy was using foul language to this man, and he bit off his finger! This is crazy! What kind of world are we living in? This is disgusting, this is wrong, and this is despicable. These crazy liberals have to be stopped. They will stop at nothing to keep the sane people who are fighting for our freedom from exercising our God-given right of free speech.
This man needs to be caught and prosecuted and thrown in jail for assault and battery.
God help us.
Seven minutes of surrealism, courtesy Cavuto … the biter was acting in self-defense — this tool who punched someone twice in the face for expressing an opinion he didn’t agree with ought to be sued
I watched the interview and read quite a few comments. There is no mention of Medicare and you don’t have to sign up for it. Is this an assumption that the guy is on Medicare. Also I read his finger was re-attached. He said it wasn’t. I guess it’s alright to lie about the guy without hearing what he had to say. MOVE ON THIS YOU MOON BAT, George Sorous Idiots!
He was “PROTESTING GOVERNMENT RUN CARE” and HE WAS ON MEDICARE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! What an idiot. It’s too bad about his finger, but if he knew he was already on government run care maybe he wouldn’t have gone to this rally in the first place.
Another person that doesn’t understand the difference between government programs and GOVERNMENT RUN systems.
I have been nurse for forty-two years; worked with insurance for six years. The public option that is now proposed and the present Medicare are different. At the present, MEDICARE have very little medical restraints for what the treatments/care it allows. According the the house bill, the public option will offer more limited care (if you one gets the meaning of the bill; not the just the wording. If the house bill is passed, there will be 300 billion dollars in cuts. With Medicare not covering the care that private carriers do, the cuts will detrimental to the elderly. Just cover those who DO NOT HAVE insurance with Medicare/Medicaid coverage and leave the rest alone.
I wonder if those who support the bill, have taken the time to read the main sections and pages? This is my opinion as an African American and registered Democrat.
What a bunch of mental midgets here – statements like “oh the irony now he needs medical coverage”. He’s not protesting health coverage, stupid, he’s protesting government intervention where it doesn’t belong. Medicare is losing money and Obamacare will be cutting $100’s of millions from it anyways. National health care doesn’t work anywhere, that’s why people come to this country when they can’t get it in their country. But you obamatons think well it’s free and it’s Obama’s plan so it must be good. Wake up and look around, what does goverment do well, seriously. It needs to provide for national defense, but even there we have $20,000 wrenches and 50 more jet fighters we don’t need because it benefits some congressmans constituents. You want uncaring, unaccountable, unmotivated government workers making decisions about your care? No you don’t and deep inside you know it but you knee jerk libs who don’t even have the intellectual honesty to call yourself that (your Progressives now right?) just fall back on the “evil corporations and fat cats stealing from the hard working common man”. Drop that old rag, it smells and no one but your liberal friends beleive it anymore. This issue has awoken the silent majority and now the libs are shocked at the protests from people they’ve never encountered before. Think we’re mad now, it’s called 2010. Remember 1994, you better because here comes Part 2, Harry Reids done, Spectors done and the list goes on and on, can you say 45% approval rating 6 months in, that’s unprecedented and Obama hasn’t even tried Cap and Trade or what to do about Afghanistan yet.

Thanks Dave. I guess we all should shut up and not show up at any rallies, just do as Obama wishes and hand over more power to someone who doesn’t know what to do with the power he already has. I mean why bot give more power to someone who has so brilliantly handled the economy? Or let’s give more power to the government that has so fantastically handled the public school system. Yes. We could use another 500k/month unemployed on top of what we’re getting now.
I love these wienies who keep saying “He has Medicare.”, Medicare is broke. From the people who’ve brought us Medicare and the USPS Obama complained about, we are having Obamacare stuffed down our throats. Dingell says he needs 2 days and 2 attorneys to make any sense of the bill, Obama says he hasn’t read it. No one has read the bill, the gov’t is watching Medicare crumble under it’s own weight,while Obama needs to take millions from broken Medicare to help fund it, Dingell, one of the bill’s staunchest defenders doesn’t understand it and we, the people are supposed to happily hand over more money for another government boondogle? I’ve read part of bill 3200, one of the scariest things are the panels. Obama will appoint all of the members, the medical panel does not neccesarily need to be medical doctors, just experts. Who decides the qualifications for an expert? The man who thinks pediatricians surgically remove a patient’s tonsils to get rich? I’ve never known a pediatrician who performs his own surgeries, but the man appointing the experts thinks a surgeon is paid $50,000 to remove a limb. The president thinks there are 57 states in the union, can’t speak without a teleprompter, has never run anything but thugs in training community organizing and now in addition to running the country & Gov’t Motors he’s going to fix health care? Not a word about tort reform or allowing insurance companies to compete across state lines. Oh, and the healthcare isn’t good enough for the President, our Senators, our Congressional reps or union members, what’s up with that? Anyone who has fooled themselves into believing this is anything but a grab for power needs to take off the Mickey Mouse PJs, learn addition and subtraction and enter the world of reality.
What all those who claim that “the biter acted in self-defense”, seem to have missed is that the pro-reform and anti-reform groups were separated on different sides of the street. The pro-reform biter deliberately came across the street to start trouble with the anti-reform group, which was a much smaller and older group. The biter was yelling in people’s faces and pushing them. So Rice punched the guy, twice and the biter took Rice’s finger off.
Based on the photos, Rice is at least 20 years older than the biter. In my opinion, the biter was a bully just looking to push around and intimidate a bunch of old people and is therefore a useless piece of crap, independent of his political views.
He should have known that when you punch a Blue-Dog Democrat in the mouth, you’re going to get bitten.
He didn’t assault the jerk from move-on. The move-on jerk assaulted him by violently confronting him. He had every right to nail the jerk. If it had been me, the move-on jerk would have a couple of broken knees.
Don’t bother expaining facts to the Obamatons, they traffic in sound bites, cliches and good intentions. Their defense of anyone biting off part of a human body is in itself indefensible. Check yourself people.
Some on here have it in your head this simpleton notion that if someone smiles at you, is nice to you,that looks good, makes pretty promises, is popular etc…that they are wonderful and have your best interest at heart.-fantasy land.
If this administration was the least bit in the middle, vs far left, they would have never hired any of those particular Czars, giving them that specific set of powers. This administration does not agree with, nor does it care about our Constitution and least of all, those of us who are conservative Christians. This government is NO LONGER OURS. We have NO representation!
I don’t have a problem with his religion, I have a problem with him bashing mine, on my dime, in public.
I don’t have a problem with his liberal views, I have a problem with him forcing them on me resulting in squashing my constitution.
I don’t have a probem with his desire to help those he feels have been oppressed, I have a problem with him stealing from those who have earned their keep to get this done.
I don’t have a problem with the color of his skin, I have a problem with the color of his soul.
I don’t have a problem with his desire to keep his family life private, I have a problem with him keeping HIS life a secret.
I don’t have a problem with him reaching out to other countries, I have a problem with him apologizing for ours.
I don’t have a problem with him using tax dollars to give people jobs, I have a problem with him giving positions and power to those whom have a violent radical agenda.
I don’t have a problem with him encouraging leadership and service, I have a problem with him instructing our babies to listen to him, first and foremost.
All of these are UNCONSTITUTIONAL! My tax dollars going to people who want to destroy my country, my liberty, and my future, I HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THAT!!
It really blows that some of our congressmen/congresswomen do not get it-once all the Czars and “organizers” are in place, congress will cease to be relevant. Maybe they are just figureheads. Aftall, they don’t read legislation, they don’t show up, they don’t pay attention during meetings, they don’t seem to be concerned for their jobs….makes ya wonder if they know something we don’t? They will ultimately either join in the plan, if not already, or will eventually be irrelevant-do they not see it?
Are all Obama supporters cannibals? They abort their young do they eat them too?
Don’t show up at places where trouble is brewing out of curiosity.
Honestly, if someone tossed a punch at me, in the heat of battle I’d prob bite too

As much as people like to joke, Obamacare is one of the most serious threats from the government we the people have ever faced. It will most certainly lead to a program of killing and discarding the elderly as they are doing in England under their government care. It will be another tool for reducing Al Gore’s carbon footprint through euthanasia and for taking away our basic freedoms. It is frightening to see people believe that a government which has failed public education, social security, the economy, national defense, that it will somehow improve the health care system if they take it over. It fascinates me to see that a country whose greatness has come about as a result of individual freedoms and free markets suddenly is flirting with the failed ideas of Marxism–backward ideas that impoverished nations and destroyed millions of lives during the last century. As much talk as there has been about rallies against socialized medicine, I don’t believe there have been nearly enough of them. People are sleeping while the government plots to take away their liberties and take over every aspect of their lives. Today you get hurt, you walk straight into an emergency room and you’re treated without any questions about your ability to pay. Tomorrow, you’ll wait in line for an unqualified doctor who has no reason to give a damn about you and you will have no one to complain to because the doctor is a government employee protected by powerful unions. Shame on those Americans who support socialized medicine and government takeover of our lives. They have never read the constitution and are clueless about the sacrifices made by generations to preserve our individual rights and keep our government from becoming a tyranny. But again, they are the product of our government-ran education system where many graduate without the ability to read or write. Keep government out of your medicine cabinet. Let doctors decide what’s best for you, not politicians. Don’t destroy our great health care system, it is the best system in the world. People come here for treatment, not the other way around. How many Americans are going for treatment to Cuba? or Canada? or England? Their citizens come here because we offer the best quality in the world. Now a few radical leftists want to ruin it and think that they can do so because one of them happens to be in the white house.
Look at the facts. The guy who Fox News is using to push their agenda (that Obamacare supporters are crazy) threw the first punch. It wasn’t until the second punch that the other man bit his finger off in self defense. It’s ridiculous, and no one should resort to physical violence about this issue. But, to put all the blame on the guy who was defending himself, albeit a bit(e) excessively is misinformed. The other man assaulted the guy and could just as easily be considered the “crazy.”
`This biting action is VERY typical of Obamabots and Moveon.org-bot… Some quite sick and twisted units, all of them!
And for some of us, WE WANT OUR COUNTRY BACK!!!
And then the challenge: BITE THIS OBAMABOTS!!!
I’m not able to think rationally or use reason. That’s why I say things like, “I want my country back.” It really frustrates me when I have to think, so I watch Fox News. It’s much easier for me to spout off uneducated and contrived rhetoric than to develop my own thoughts on issues.

He was “PROTESTING GOVERNMENT RUN CARE” and HE WAS ON MEDICARE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! What an idiot. It’s too bad about his finger, but if he knew he was already on government run care maybe he wouldn’t have gone to this rally in the first place.”
DAVE, HE KNOWS THAT WHEN THE WHOLE COUNTRY IS ON THE SAME SYSTEM THAT THEY WILL LOOK AT WHO IS PRODUCING AND WHO IS NOT. SINCE HE IS 65 HE IS NO LONGER USEFUL TO THE SYSTEM AND WILL GET A PAIN PILL INSTEAD OF AN OPERATION, WHICH, IF YOU LISTEN TO HIM IS JUST WHAT HAPPENED ANYWAY, THEY DID NOT REATTACH HIS FINGER BUT GAVE HIM A PAIN PILL! DAVE WHY DO YOU LOVE THE GOVERNMENT TAKING CARE OF YOUR HEALTH CARE ANYWAY??? IT’S BEYOND ME WHY ANYONE WITH A BRAIN WOULD WANT THE GOVERNMENT TO HANDLE YOUR HEALTH CARE NEEDS, THEY WILL DO WHAT THEY DO IN JAPAN AND THE UK, TELL YOU TO CHANGE YOUR LIFESTYLE OR NO OPERATION!!!! THAT’S LOSING YOUR RIGHTS, YOU FREAKING IDIOT OBAMA LOVER!!!! WHETHER YOU ARE OLD, YOUNG OR IN BETWEEN, HAVING THE GOVERNMENT INVOLVED IN HEALTH CARE IS GOING TO END UP IN THE GOVERNMENT TELLING YOU MORE AND MORE WHAT THEY WANT YOU TO DO WITH YOUR BODY!!!!! WHATS SO HARD TO UNDERSTAND ABOUT THIS??????
China’s national flag to go up in White House on Sept 20

The national flag of the People’s Republic of China (PRC) will be hoisted at the South Lawn of the White House in Washington on September 20, media reported Sunday.
Chinese associations in the United States had applied to hold a ceremony in front of the US President’s residence to celebrate the 60th anniversary of the founding of PRC.
Chen Ronghua, chairman of Fujian Association of the United States, told reporters that their application was approved not only because of the sound Sino-US relations but also because China is a responsible country.
“Many Americans admire China due to the success of last year’s Beijing Olympics,” said Chen.
More than 1,000 people will attend the ceremony and the performances held after it, according to Zhao Luqun, who will direct the performances.
Zhao said the performances will demonstrate the friendship, magnanimous spirit and kindness of modern Chinese people.

Obama said to get in their faces and the moveon.org guy did what he was told. Not to mention that he crossed over to the corner where the Anti-Obamacare people were standing. So he obviously was threatening them for their beliefs and berating them. This was done on purpose obviously to get a rise out of the other side.
I have seen it myself here in rallies in Upstate, NY. But I know better to respond to any one of them physically.
What happened next probably should not have happened… this guy punched the Obama guy for calling him names and getting into his face. How close were they during the argument? Was the moveon guy really in his face so much that he felt that he had to punch him to protect himself?
No one knows if the moveon.org guy ever fought back with his own fists? This guy didn’t mention it. Perhaps he surprised the moveon.org guy. So this guy punched moveon.org guy the second time and the rest is history.
There is no need for this kind of violence on EITHER side of this issue. I am afraid that common decency and civility has gone out of fashion in this country. I have a feeling that this will not be the end of this kind of behavior. The polarity in this country now is palpable.
Another “bat crap crazy” right wing nutjob Beck follower gets what he deserves! And then promptly goes to the hospital where my tax $ pays for his single payer medical medicare coverage. MORON!
Good thing the anti reformist was covered by a government medical plan, other wise he’d probably be up the creek trying to pay the hospital!
Leave it up to a bed wetting, female body part liberal to target a senior citizen. Bite me!
The only thing that would have made this perfect for the right was if the old guy didn’t have that ‘nationalized healthcare’ to pay for the costs of trying to reattach his finger. Time to start biting the screamers.
Must see: What happened when Obama finds out the people don’t like his health plan: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8NWtBhSp74I
Spread it around…
He punched Hannibal Lecter
The guy who got his finger bit off was at least 1 or 2 feet taller than the idiot who ended up biting him. They both looked kind of old, but I agree the taller guy who punched the shorter guy twice, looked older. I ask you, if you have someone’s fist in your mouth, wouldn’t you be instinctually inclined to bite it? The taller guy felt really comfortable bullying the shorter guy, and he got his pinky bit off. He played the game and lost.
The Repubs are a HOOT!!!!
Here is another member of your Hate party attacking someone first…..
http://rawstory.com/blog/2009/09/healthcare-opponent-punches-65-year-old-supporter/
“Healthcare opponent punches 65-year-old supporter
A 65-year-old man cheering healthcare reform in Miami was punched in the face and knocked to the ground by an opponent of a public health plan, according to a reporter at the scene. The rally took place outside a Great Miami Chamber of Commerce event where Florida Sen. Bill Nelson (D-FL – below right) was speaking.”
For all you DISINFOMATION spreading people…… The government is not going to be telling you what to do. LIES!!!! What in gods name do you think the insurance companies do??? They tell you who you can see, what you can get, and when you can get it. So much for your, “between the doctor and patient” CRAP! Your to STUPID to even realize that someone already tells you what to do! The only difference is that you want to pay 3 – 5 times what it should cost just so you can say that it’s not by the government. What an IDIOT….. Oh, I already said that, but it can’t be said enough with most of you morons.
What do you not understand about the word OPTION???? Here, let me help you out with that……
Definitions of option on the Web:
“choice: the act of choosing or selecting”
I always knew that the Right was beyond ignorant, but this really puts a new meaning to it.
Almost EVERY ONE of your Republican talking points are BS!!!! You people have not been correct about one thing in over 8 years…… What makes you think that your correct now????
- Bush was legally elected. It has been shown that the electronic machines could be hacked without any issue. Given that people complained about their votes flipping right in front of them, and the exit polls not even coming close to the prediction is evidence. (First time in American history that the exit polls were so far off)
- Iraq has WMD. Not any WMD’s found….. Nothing, zip, ziltch, nada!
- Bush is not illegally wiretapping anyone….. Behold….. HE WAS!!!!
- Bush is not torturing anyone…… Behold…… HE WAS!!!!!
- Bush did not cause the recession…… Behold……. He did by removing the safe guards for the finacial industry, because….. “The market will take care of it’s self”…… That is like saying that your kids will not steal from you because they are your kids.
- We would be treated as liberators in Iraq! Never happened.
- “The war will not take 6 days, 6 weeks, I doubt 6 months”….. How many years later is this?????
- “No one could have imagined air planes being used as weapons”…… Despite at least 10 countries warning the Bush Admin with SPECIFIC information that planes would be used. And not to mention that the military was performing war games that day for that very thing…… Noooo….. No one could have imagined, except the intelligent people!
This should be more then enough to make your head explode! So point to JUST ONE THING that was correct about anything you have made statements about!!! I’ll be waiting, but not holding my breath.
Medicare is a gov’t program where citizens pay into social security and medicare fund for years, while they work. Then when they retire, these taxpayers receive some of the small medicare benefits due them. It’s not like Obama’s health care socialism programs, where the lazy a$$es in America receive health benefits for free. I wish people would know the facts before spouting off. Excuse me, these “non-facters” are probably Dear Leader Obama supporters.

PSSSSTTTT….. He DJ…. I hate to prove how much of a MORON you are……. But…….
Anyone, just about, can collect SS and get Medicare/Medicade. I know many people who are collecting SS, because they have a disability!!!!! They did not work very long in their lives, but are now collecting SS!!!! Also, given the correct circumstances the same thing can happen with Medicare……
Try to do some research BEFORE you make more of an A$$ out of yourself……. You can be a widower or widow and receive SS, even though you did not work a day in your life…….
It just amazes me at how ignorant the right is!!!!! Your so imbred with lies that you can’t even think for yourselfs anymore!
wtf wrote: “WTF,
this guys assaults another man, by punching him in the mouth! wtf did this guy think was going to happen, i am a teacher and i know i teach my students that if someone calls you names, or diagrees with them the first thing to do is NOT to punch the other person!
Anyone who thinks this guy is a hero like cavuto says is INSANE!!! So same person would react with violence! ALL this guy did was call him an idiot!
I thought we as a nation were above this…it appears sadly we are not!
this man is the true diversion!
I wonder if the govnt picked his doctor, since he is on medicare! Probably not! and isnt it convenient that neil didnt even pose any question about his healthcare how was it, since is being taken care on the taxpayers dime”
******************************************************
You’re a TEACHER, and you use the web name ‘WTF’? Do your students know about this? Do their parents? You write the kind of stuff above, and you’re a TEACHER OF CHILDREN? It’s a good thing you’re anonymous, otherwise parents would probably be pulling their kids OUT of your classroom, and you might at the very least receive a warning, from your superiors. Actually, why am I not surprised that a ‘teacher’ would write like this? The schools want to have our kids watch Obama’s speech so they can laud him, and of course they’ve been left-leaning indoctrination centers for decades, now (fortunately, people tend to grow more conservative as they get older, and meanwhile, home schooling continues to grow — and to outperform their public school counterparts in virtually every category).
wait a second, why does the picture show a cast covering TWO fingers?? To make it seem worse than it is??? It seems to me that the guy is trying to exaggerate the scenario!
I’ll be sure to bring raw red meat when I go to DC on the 12th! That and a union button ought to keep me safe!
Note if you are gonna throw punches keep thowing til the liberal, hand out wanting, tree hugging,servent of Obama,socialist,cuba health care loving gay marrige wanting,coward in in the ground!!!!!!
A comment on our education system seems warranted since reading WTF’s rant. When I think of you teaching my children I get a headache! Your spelling and punctuation are atrocious. You are TEACHING our future generations! OMG! WHAT A ROLE MODEL! WE WONDER WHY THEY ARE DROPPING OUT OF SCHOOL.
To all the liberal press lies about this. I have read acticles that have changed the whole story about this saying this man just drove by and stop to ask if this was a anti-war protest. The liberals cannot take truth. They want us to believe lies and Thank God (Jehovah) the truth of whats happening is coming out. Really evil is coward and chicken because people when they commit it they lie and hide. I believe in Jesus and truth and the evil unrepentent people will have their place in the lake of fire. We walk in forgiveness and love and evil will be defeated at his Second Coming.
Get right with Jesus or be left behind. He is soon coming :)
No, I’m sorry. I’m a Republican, I did not vote for Obama, and I have great reservations about the the health care plan. This guy DESERVED to have his finger bitten off. He ASSAULTED the man first. The man did not assualt him. He punched him in the face, TWICE, and, as he said himself, “My hand landed in the guy’s mouth.” So he bit his finger off. And he has the nerve to accuse the OTHER guy of being violent? Too bad, so sad, I say. Don’t go around punching people in the face. And he’s not that old. He looks like he works out to me; he looks very in shape. I have lost a lot of respect for Neil Cavuto, coddling this violent man who assaulted a stranger and then paid the price. I would bet you money he has been arrested for assault before.
“Merry Christmas everybody entitlements for all!” Medicare is $39.7 trillion in the hole – why not throw in Obama care and more! To paraphrase Labor Secretary Robert Riech, people are incapable of making rational economic decisions. I agree, I want the government to think for me, after all, many of the bureaucrats are from the ivy league and economic decisions based on political ambition is far more nobler.
As a self loathing liberal, I was born to serve at the pleasure of the state. Figure 3 days a week are spent working for the state, fed, local government via taxation, it’s not enough. I want forced national service. Government issue health care, government issue schooling, and government issue life – what more could you want? Despite being $58.9 trillion in the hole for social security, medicare/medicaid, and prescription drugs – the future is looking bright and it’s spelled “SOCIALISM”… No scratch that – “FASCISM”…. Hmm, what’s the word, yeah – “STATISM” And the Pied Piper Obama is going to take us there!

I cannot believe that anyone would support the man who BIT OFF another’s finger!?! Or, for that matter, mock the victim. Does anyone remember the uproar when Mike Tyson bit the ear off another boxer? Where’s the outrage? The perp is an animal.
BTW, this gentleman paid into the Medicare system for many years. To try to compare Medicare with “free for everyone including illegal immigrants” Obamacare is asinine.
LOL Hey dumb dumb if you punch some one twice! expect something bad to happen.
Silly libs,
Us conservative know that we pay into medicare all our working lives.
We can see that in our pay stubs. You should ask a hard working conservative
to show you a pay stub sometime. You get them when you have a job.
So, we pay into Medicare all of our working lives. Then, when we retire, we
see about 70% of what we put into it. The government has spent the rest of
it. Soon it will be gone. Handouts to liberals like you I suppose.
Yes he was on Medicare because he paid into it. It’s his money idiots!
And it’s government run, so it is going bankrupt.

OK Hello people!!!! This crazy man assaulted the man TWICE!!! All the other man did was call him an Idiot!!! From what I have heard he IS an IDIOT!!! If someone threw two punches at me that is not the only thing I would BITE!!!! To me….This man (who bit the finger) is a hero!!!! If someone comes at you and assaults you….SELF DEFENSE BABY!!!! I would do the same thing! I support the soldiers and I support this guy who bit this IDIOT’S finger off!!!! Way to go dude!!!
And this is where your pathetic level of ignorance, hypocrisy and greed really shines through.
“Just because this guy is on Medicare does not mean he backs government healthcare. That is such a stupid argument.They said the same thing about socialism and Social Security. NO, many of us do not like those programs, but we have paid into them our entire lives and deserve to get some of that back, at least until the system can be improved.”
You thieving Boomers will stop at nothing to bankrupt those of that are younger than you, in order “to get yours.”
Let’s all give Obamacare our pinky.
So, let me get this straight. Bill punches the guys twice, then he gives him the finger. Sounds like a right wing wacko to me :)
You libtards always twist things around to suit your pathetic pea brains. The story says that the finger eating libtard came across the street and started an altercation with the victim. Getting in someones face and cursing them is an assault. The victim had every right to punch the libtards lights out. What kind of crazy freak eats off a finger in a fair fight? Yeah maybe a Obamazombie would. You libbers also don’t get that maybe us Americans don’t like any form of government control of healthcare- whether it’s Medicare, Medicaid or Obamacare. Hell Social Security is nothing but a Ponzi Scheme. Get rid of that too! Everything the government touches turns to sh*t. We want less government control, not more, get it? All you libs want is the Federal teet poised within reach at all times.

Idiots understand that throwing the “first punch” is not illegal. If someone is be berated, belittled, and being treated with aggression and the aggressor is closing proximity, and you feel threatened you have every right to throw the first punch and stop the attack. I know this is how liberals protest but seriously come on. Because he is on Medicare he doesn’t have a right to say anything. Liberals are such hypocrites. Last thing for the anti-Christians there is nothing in the bible that says you can’t defend yourself you are allowed to stand up for yourself, you just can’t run around berating people and biting their finger off.
What kind of insane spin is this?…the guy gets confronted and reacts violently, punching the non-violent individual twice…the second time, his finger ends up in his victim’s mouth, and the victim bites down hard…he loses a finger while assaulting someone.
He then trundles off to the hospital I can’t afford to go to, with his public option medicare insurance of the type he’s fighting hard to deny me, and uses my tax money to get medical treatment…what a hypocrite.
He wanted a fight, and he got what he wanted…now he’s whining.
I have no doubt that the man that lost his finger felt imminently threatened by this carnivorous man. If someone like that got into my personal space I would probably do more than just punch him twice in the face.
Maybe it’s because he’s on medicare, that he knows how much this will suck.
I am against health care reform, but Rice was the one who assaulted the biter. Rice’s finger was bitten off in self-defense. Oh well!! I feel sorry for the guy, but I do not blame the biter, he was defending himself in the course of an assault.
I wish Cavuto would have pressed that point.
To those that believe the guy deserved to have his finger bitten off.
Are all liberals little bitches that run away and hide when they can’t own up to their actions? The finger biting dude is nothing but a punk!
Own up to your actions losers! At least the first guy admitted he threw the first punch and he didn’t run away like a little girl!
“JohnHartman September 3rd, 2009 – 6:04 pm
So.. the old guy assaulted the other guy twice, and in response the other guy bit his finger off…
Craziness ;p”
No, the old guy confronted a foaming at the mouth liberal that aggressively charged him and invaded his personal space. Your problem is you realize those methods are the only ones that will work trying to force socialized power grabs on un-willing people. In other words, the ends justify the means for you…even if they are aggressive and violent.
I don’t get it. The guy threw two punches, and in retaliation the other guy bit his finger off. Is this not self-defense? How does Foxnews give credit to this “attacker” and show him as a victim, when he first initiated the physical aggression? Would it have been ok if the other guy would have been sporting a handgun? Both these Joes are crazies, end of story.
Why is Moveon.org protecting this guy. They know who did it, yet they don’t want to own up to it.
The law does not require you to be on medicare…you can run out and purchase all the private health insurance you want after 65, if they don’t laugh you out of the insurance office…I’m sure the rates will be quite reasonable, a few thousand a month or so.
This is the crux of the problem…private for-profit insurance is not interested in insuring any of you that they will have to pay out money for due to your age or physical status…they only wish to take in money & increase profits. This is the reason government-run medicare was necessary to begin with.
Public option insurance is clearly the only answer, and is inevitable…private insurance will unquestionably die on the vine, for it is not practical.
It was surely wrong for the old man to throw the first punch. To honest though, all of these protestors need to realize that there are intense emotions running and ANYONE jumping in another one’s face (ie about 1-2 feet ) will likely get punched. I only say that because, well, I would throw that punch. Yell from a distance of at least six feet away, it’s less intrusive and you aren’t begging for a fight. Also, who in the world throws only one punch?? If you resign yourself to throwing that first punch, you are in a FIGHT. That second punch better be coming.
What kind of cowardly, sissy boy bites a 65 year old man’s pinky off? Regardless of the disagreement, the dude’s 65. Let the old man punch you it’s not likely to cause much damage anyways and seeing as how on the second punch, the pinkey somehow got in the pansy’s mouth tells me that the punch was probably open hand or loose.
It’s all so sad that somebody would do something like this to an elderly person. If I was the old guy, I’d “curb” that cannibal so he couldnt bite anyone else. End rant.
Dave the Democrat, are you to stupid to read, this bill will cut Medicare by 22%, that is one of many reasons why the elderly are scared and with good reason. Doctors in the last two years (Democratic rule)have already had major cuts to what they are paid out by Medicare. When will you people wake up, when Doctors go to school for as long as they do and have the student loans that they have to pay back, what is the reward to go into medicine. Not every one wants to live like hippies, I thought this country was a capitalist nation, you get out of it if you do not like it!!!!
Got what was comin’ to him. Let that be a lesson to anyone who wants me to die from not having health care, or go broke for getting sick.
If the moveon.org idiot stays on his side of the street and protests peacefully this doesn’t happen. No, the moveon idiot has to go across the street to irritate the protesters of Obama care and get in his face and calls them names, and gets popped by a 65-year old man, what a loser! Then the cowardly lib bites the man’s finger and we have people hear that thinks when a person gets in your personal space that you can not defend yourself, wrong!
I love this guy! Really the Pro health care guy should have been more respectful. How crase do you have to be to start a fight with a senior, was there no one younger there?. Go pick on some your own age. I hope the old guy knocked some teeth out of this guy. What a punk.
Let me get this straight.
You pro Obama folks didn’t know or care what “Change we can believe in” or “Change” or “hope” meant when the Obama campaign was sprouting off those slogans. The rhetoric was void of any content of what he planned to do as President and frankly you didn’t care! You blindly voted for him anyway because you knew deep down in your very souls that he was “the One”. Your representatives in congress vote for huge spending bills that none of them even read or understand, and yet you support them and what they are doing one hundred percent! You don’t understand why the rest of us are at our wits end in frustration! And worse, you don’t understand why supporting those actions are reprehensible! I can’t speak for anyone else but I think you Obama supporters are dangerous to our nation! you probably shouldn’t be allowed anywhere near a voting booth and if there was a Constitutional way to figure out who all of you people were, I would be for removing your rights to vote. Notice how I said Constitutional. That is probably a foreign term for most of you.
Dave, go away.
Medicade is broke, Medicare is broke, Social Security is broke, so lets add another corrupted government plan to our debt. Lets all spend as much money as possible to take care of lazy bums and run up the debt to 100 Trillion. Our grandkids can pay the tab for us, since they will have robots going to work for them.
This is so funny. Now the old guy probably was way off for throwing a punch (though he is an old chap so I doubt he hit hard), but maybe he felt threatened by this guy coming at him and screaming at him. But biting someones finger off? Wow, that is nutty.
Cavuto was wrong to say the man was “protesting health care reform.” No one is against reforming health care, but plenty are against H.R. 3200. It must be read to appreciate fully what these S.O.B.’s in Congress tried to sneak past us. If you rely on summaries, you are being spun.
God Bless Bill Rice reminiscent of Crispus Attucks
This is clearly a right wing plant and the guy that bit his finger isn’t a dem, its the same as that McCain supporter that punched herself in the face. Its a plant, stupids!
This medicare recipient was protesting health care for all? And then he used his medicare to work on his hand after his attack? What brainwashing he must have gone through to decide to protest something so good for so many people.
This gentlemen may be on Medicare – but maybe just maybe he is concerned about Medicare being $2T in debt – and realizes that the way to solve it is not 57 additional federal government agencies running a centralized health plan.
Yes Medicare is government run health care – and it is going broke. Why should we believe that an even more expansive system would be any different?
The issue of health care is cost containment which requires efficiency – name one thing the federal government does that is efficient……
I also went to a counter-protest in Boca. We were on one side of the street and the Moveon.org crowd was on the other side. Five min. after I got there, two police cars pulled up. The police stated that they got a call stating that someone on our side had a gun. (Gee Whiz, who do you think called?) Not long after that, the moveon.org crowd, not content with being on their side of the street, came over to our side. There was no violence but a lot of heated ‘debate’. Why do liberals have to scream????
Self Defense takes on a whole new definition! The guy who lost his finger should not have punched the guy in the first place.
The FACT that this man got his finger bitten off by some complete foaming at the mouth lunatic is the story. Anyone, anyone saying that this 65 year old man did not have the right to defend himself is a complete idiot.
Hey, crazies: that he has Medicare does not let your side off the hook for being utterly around the bend nuts. You are.
These MoveOn people are absolutely the real Nazis here. Showing up in coordinated efforts (unlike EVERY other group on the right) on buses with signs provided to quash free speech.
You on the left: killing free speech; attacking people; villifying the elderly.
Sleep well, loons.
If some person were to hit / assault me in the face,
provoked or not, he’d get MORE than his finger bitten off !!
Someone getting into your SPACE doesn’t give you the right
to assault that person, unless he touches you or has a weapon…imho…
Getting his finger bitten off was pretty light weight retaliation…
That neither one of them are DOA is amazing!
“The FACT that this man got his finger bitten off by some complete foaming at the mouth lunatic is the story. Anyone, anyone saying that this 65 year old man did not have the right to defend himself is a complete idiot.”
Well the 65 year old threw the first punch. How is that “defending himself?” When you start a fight you better be prepared to finish it. And let’s not pretend that this guy was somehow old and elderly. From an eyewitness account of the entire episode: “Don’t be fooled by reports ginning up sympathy for that 65-year old guy or worse yet, reports characterizing him as a senior citizen. He was aggressive and ready to mix it up.”
“And he walked into the ER and got the same immediate care he would have no matter who he was and thats why we have the best safety net on the planet.”
Yeah right. Any idea what it would have cost had this guy not been on medicare? If you just walked into an ER without insurance this would have been at least a $15,000 bill. Get real.
Obamacare will take money from Medicare, so the elderly care will be even more rationed than it is now. That’s why they are up in arms. We all heard the media crying about how bad the care was at the military hospitals during the Bush years. That is what we will have under NHS. No part of this bill should be passed.
I think it would help people understand our health insurance mess if they would research the history of the HMO’s in our country. Most of this health insurance mess is due to our government bailing out the HMO companies in the late 70’s. Check it out.
“The hospital spokeswoman said that the man had Medicare…”
What? Is the hospital spokeswoman not bound by so-called confidentiality laws?
Starboardhelm gets 10 points. Yes we cannibal? Classic.
The rest of you yahoos are crazy for giving the old Republican dude a pass. He hauls off and floors this guy and then still keeps at him, in public? Personally i wouldn’t know where this guy’s fingers have been, but even besides, its all totally ridiculous, and if you want to make stumpy here an American hero, you go right on ahead.
and yes, I like Obama, so attack me as you like.
I say we let proud Republicans and proud Democrats pound eachother senseless with red, white and blue gigantic mallets. The winners get t-shirts that say, “TRUE PATRIOT” on it. Europeans can watch the spectacle live, via satellite.
Dan Cannel: According to your logic, a “truly religious person” doesn’t seem to be capable of doing anything wrong. Your standards of expectations for “religious people” seem to exceed those of religious people. Think about that.

IT IS SO EASY TO INSULT A CONSERVATIVE.
SOOOOOOOOOOOO EASY.

He was “PROTESTING GOVERNMENT RUN CARE” and HE WAS ON MEDICARE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! What an idiot.
Hey Dave, your the idiot. EVERY American over the age of 65 is on Medicare. They don’t have a choice.
It is a known fact that you people are 1st on the attack.Look at all your left wing orgs.
SEIU,Acorn,PETA,MoveOn,Environments,GlobalWarmers,Greeners..the list goes on and on.You are loud,
disruptive,confrontational,destructive and violent. Then you try to justify yourselves by saying “The
world will be a better place”,what a load of crap.If someone says something contrary to your thinking,
you call them names,like hatefull little children(boris,so what,you all know who you are).
I don’t understand why you hate America so much,that you want the “change” so bad.I grew up here.
NOT a bad place 40 years ago. Too bad you’ll never know the freedom we had then,that you’ll never have
now,because of progressive/liberals before you.America is not perfect,not supposed to be.
Has every Blog / message board become a feeding trough for basement-dwellers? It appears so.
An amalgam of sebaceous matter and viscous verbosity? Perhaps it is Generation D’uh run amok.
I thought school was back in session.
If you try real hard, maybe some facts and common sense –and a chuckle- can be gleaned from the rubbish.
It’s called assault,and YOU ADMITTED IT ON NATIONAL TELEVISION and you will lose in court! Dumb-ass…
But the real issue is the coverage from FoXXX!
Who accosted who? You spin and spin but the truth shines through. This man is far from hero, a better word would be stupid,vicious,public threat.
Neal is a bigger idiot than the man he’s trying to spin as the victim.

He was “PROTESTING GOVERNMENT RUN CARE” and HE WAS ON MEDICARE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! What an idiot. It’s too bad about his finger, but if he knew he was already on government run care maybe he wouldn’t have gone to this rally in the first place.
