The economy must be even worse than we thought. We have a record number of Americans on food stamps and now the Democrats are resorting to cannibalism.
An ObamaCare supporter bit off the finger of an anti-ObamaCare protester Wednesday at a healthcare rally in Thousand Oaks, California. All the way down to the second knuckle.
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. He was described as a short man with a medium build, wearing a blue cap, black shirt and black shorts.
Are we the only ones who find it odd that the perpetrator was a member of noted anti-violence group Code Pink?

On the bright side, he didn’t have to wait 10 weeks to see a doctor and get it treated.
