Here's a weird little piece of late-breaking news about the nation's healthcare reform debate:
A 65-year-old man at a Wednesday night California rally supporting President Obama's embattled reform ideas had a finger bitten off during a scuffle with Anti-reform protesters. (It first appears that the Pro-Obama protester had his finger bitten off by the Anti-Obama protester - read on)
Ventura County sheriff's deputies were called to Lynn Road and Hillcrest Drive in Thousand Oaks near Los Angeles, according to TV station KTLA.
There, an estimated 100 supporters of Pro-healthcare reform affiliated with MoveOn.org had gathered as part of a nationwide array of pre-Labor Day rallies to attract attention in support of Obama's reform plans currently before Congress.
Instead, the rally attracted the attention of a group of Anti-healthcare-reform protesters across the street. (Is that a bad thing ?)
Initial police reports say that one Obama Pro-protester moved into the group of Anti-protesters. ("Moved", hardly, he actually had to run across a major eight lane Boulevard to reach those anti-health-care protesters across the street to pick a fight)
Some angry words were exchanged. One protester punched another, a witness told KTLA. (The Anti-Obama supporter threw the punch according to witnesses on live on-the-air radio telecasts because of the overt swearing and threatening action of the Pro-Obama supporter)
A scuffle ensued. And the Obama Pro-protester had a finger bitten off by the Obama Anti-protester. (Not the Truth)
L.A. Times Retraction:
OOPS! Conflicting later reports indicate the biter was actually the Obama Pro-Healthcare proponent and the now nine-fingered man an Obama Anti-Healthcare opponent.
Oh well, there goes truth-in- reporting down the drain again and into the gutter again with bias in the Los Angeles Times. Do you think everyone read the news retraction after it was released with the actual story> Hmnn........
