First a health care reform supporter was slugged at a town hall, and now the supporters have gone opponents one better. Not that it's a good thing, mind you. The finger of a health care opponent was bitten off at a demonstration, not town hall, in Thousand Oaks, CA.

The GOP loves scare tactics, as they readily admit. More on that later, but this fundraising mailer, sent to GOP voters, which implies that voter registration will be used to ration health care, sinks to a new low.
