Finger bitten off? Sorry, you need to stand in line...
Finger biting?
How creepy is this? An angry ObamaCare supporter bit off the finger of an elderly man who was opposing ObamaCare at a California protest. It takes considerable jaw strength and a lot of rage to fully sever a human finger. MoveOn.org’s going to need to rename the organization to I’llBiteYouSoMoveOn.org. It’s getting REAL ugly out there.

From KTLA, Man’s Finger Bitten Off in Scuffle at Health Care Rally:
A 65-year-old man had his finger bitten off Wednesday evening at a health care rally in Thousand Oaks, according to the Ventura County Sheriff’s Department…
About 100 protesters sponsored by MoveOn.org were having a rally supporting health care reform. A group of anti-health care reform protesters formed across the street.
The finger-biting incident occurred after a member of the group protesting health care reform, William Rice, 65, of Newbury Park, became involved in a heated discussion with a member of Code Pink, sheriff’s Capt. Ross Bonfiglio said.
After the argument, Rice returned to where his own group was standing.
A man from MoveOn.org’s area then walked over to the opponents and verbally confronted Rice, allegedly calling him names and acting aggressively, Bonfiglio said.
Rice later told investigators he felt threatened by the man and punched him in the nose, Bonfiglio said.
The punch set off a fist fight between the two men, during which the tip of Rice’s left pinky finger was bitten off, Bonfiglio said.
Rice drove himself to Los Robles Hospital and Medical Center in Thousand Oaks. Another man found the bitten-off portion of the finger and brought it to Rice at the hospital, Bonfiglio said.
The suspect fled the scene, authorities said… Sheriff’s officials are investigating the incident.
“Sheriff’s officials are investigating the incident.” Yes, I would hope so.
From The Examiner:
…The details of this incident depend on whether to believe what MoveOn reports or what eyewitnesses who were standing right there and who came to the immediate aid of the injured party say.
Regardless of who to believe, does this incident herald an escalation of tactics in the war over ObamaCare by either side? Could it be that Aetna or some other health insurer or maybe Fox News organized hoards of senior citizens trained to seduce ObamaCare supporters into their midst at health reform rallies or town hall meetings and then punch them hard and wave pinky fingers defiantly in their faces? If so, this represents a serious escalation worthy of an episode on South Park.
Or, perhaps Pelosi, Reed, Frank and others have secretly amassed the civilian army that Obama spoke of during the campaign? Composed of disaffected ACORN members or maybe even ex-Black Liberation Army special forces, its mission is to infiltrate the anti ObamaCare side at rallies and town hall meetings, target senior citizens who they determine pose the greatest threats, provoke them by getting into their faces and shouting, “Why are you against the government option – are you a racist or something?” and, as soon as one of them raises a pinky to strike back, bite it off…

Technically, nursery-rhyme legend Little Jack Horner used a thumb, not a finger, to withdraw a plum while sitting in the corner eating his pie… but I believe that a thumb’s considered one of the hand’s phalanges, so it counts.
Little Jack Horner didn't use a finger, but a thumb, which is still a phalange, to extract the plum from his pie.

About the author
My pinkie, my pinkie, my kingdom for a pinkie but I guess he has that terrible Medicare a “Single-payer health care insurance” what a hypocrite. Did the little pinkie cry “Wee-wee-wee!” all the way home (or I should say “Fake News”)? It real should have been his right pinky finger that would have been a better story. He takes two punches and (as usual) tries to shove something down someone’s throat and gets his pinkie bitten off, now he plays victim. They are haters not debaters.
