Wingnut Web – Not a Finger! Edition

So the healthcare debate has caused emotions to run hot and heavy on both sides. From the Republicans recruiting angry mobs to storm townhall meetings and screech and hollar, to the fact that many of said Republican mobs are on Medicare/Medicade/VA benefits/other government services, the whole health care debate is a giant mess. This is punctuated by Barack Obama’s idiotic giveaway to the pharmaceutical industry and his wishy-washy lack of support of a public option, without with any meaningful healthcare reform is impossible. But as progressives slowly force Obama to not be a centrist dirtbag, the conservatives mobs are getting more restless. From gun-toting attention seekers outside presidential speeches to guys ripping up posters of Rosa Parks, things were coming to a head. And one event turned to violence of a media frenzy kind, as an altercation left one man missing a finger!

William J. Rice not only threw the first punch at the rally in Thousand Oaks, CA, but went to the hospital after getting his pinky bitten off thanks to Medicare. Then he showed up on FoxNews for Neil Cavuto and a very bizarre interview. Sadly, there is no video of the actual fight, which would answer a lot of questions (and quell some of the Right’s arguments that it was unprovoked finger biting despite Rice admitting he punched first) The biter remains at large.

Let’s look at some reactions around the internet. First up is FoxNews.com:

holy pig is an expert on cannibalism

wixxx knows that unions are responsible for horrible things, like 40 hour work weeks, weekends, vacation pay, sick leave…

Obama is making me hate America!

FoxNation.com takes a bite!

Those THUGS have to resort to name calling!

Fingers, huh? How ironic!

Who, indeed?

Kenyans bite fingers!

FreeRepublic weighs in…

It surely does, somehow…

Because he went to the hospital, healthcare is a-ok! (the government run healthcare the guy had!)

meloncholy is speaking in such deep cover code that even he has no idea what he is saying.

Yeah, only black people would bite fingers! (NOTE: the biter is white)

Obama bites off people’s fingers after sitting in church, got it!

Wah! I can’t troll some other blog anymore! Waaah!

Imagine these posts with about 9 million more where macho keyboard warriors declare they wouldn’t get their fingers bitten off, but would beat up the liberal without breaking a sweat, and that’s what it looks like from the right. Wingnut Web will be back, soon, as Obama will be brainwashing America’s children on September 8th, and only a few brave Wingnuts will stand up and yank their kids out of school so they don’t have to see a scary black man talk.
