People on the Left, including Obama, elected officials, and other assorted Leftists, have been talking about the crazed protesters opposed to ObamaCare and their terrible behavior.
There are protesters in support of Obama's government-run single-payer health care scheme that are truly crazed.
At a MoveOn.org protest, 65-year-old William Rice was injured by an ObamaCare supporter.
What sort of person would bite off a person's finger?
From The Weekly Standard:
Obama Critic Gives MoveOn the Finger -- Doesn't Get It Back
Well, William Rice didn't actually give MoveOn the finger -- his pinky was forcibly removed by an Obamacare supporter's teeth.
Rice, a 65-year-old real-estate appraiser from Newbury Park, Calif., expected some heated arguments when he went to a health care protest in Thousand Oaks. He did not expect to leave without his finger.
Rice was part of a small group of counter-protesters who showed up to a MoveOn-sponsored "We Can't Afford to Wait" vigil. The two groups were on opposite sides of the street. At one point, a man from the MoveOn side of the street crossed over to confront Obama critics. Rice got in an altercation with the man, who bit off his pinky finger in the scuffle, down to the second knuckle, Rice said. The man, pictured leaving the scene in this group of photos, is still at large.
The alleged crime is a serious one:"It's considered a mayhem which is the removal of an appendage from a human," said Norris of the Ventura County Sheriff's Department. "The crime is punishable by imprisonment for 2, 4, or 8 years."
Rice drove himself to nearby Los Robles Hospital after the incident for treatment. One report said his finger was reattached, but Rice told THE WEEKLY STANDARD in a phone interview that's not the case.
"They weren’t able to attach it because a human bite has so much bacteria," said Rice, who also said Wednesday's rally had a different feeling than other local health care events he'd been to recently.
"It had a Code Pink element that I’d never seen before and it had a MoveOn element I'd never seen before," he said, calling some of the Obamacare supporters "borderline emotionally out of control."
On Air America's site, Megan Carpentier posts on the incident. This tasteless photo is included:
Gross.
There is no way that Leftists would joke about this sort of injury if an ObamaCare protester bit off the pinky finger of a MoveOn member.
They would be condemning the savagery. Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid would be releasing statements expressing their outrage at the horror of it all.
Neil Cavuto interviewed Bill Rice, the victim of the attack.
Video, Breitbart.
I think Obama should invite Bill Rice to Washington to be a guest when he delivers his speech to a joint session of Congress. Obama should point to Rice as a victim of the inexcusable behavior exhibited by his fellow Leftists and like-minded community organizers.

Sure would have been nice if you had mentioned that Rice threw the first punch. He admits it. Because the shortnguy in glasses called him an "idiot". Or mention that Rice was the first to walk over to the demonstrators and start the name calling. Rice, by his own admission, threw a second punch and hit the man in the mouth when the man HE ASSAULTED chomped down on an offending finger. You resort to physical violence don't act surprised if you lose a finger. Good thing Rice had MEDICARE.
If some guy punched me in the face 2 times, I would bite, chew, swallow, and then regurgitate it on his shoes.
Or, possibly (presuming I had the clarity of mind), mount said finger on a pike as a warning to all others.
That, and you have to appreciate -at least a little- the irony of being injured while protesting Health Care reform.
