""The guy that threw the punch deserved to have his finger bitten off and called an idiot because he said he did not support a public health insurer option.""

No idiot, the guy that threw the first punch deserved what he got because he threw the first punch.

He was the aggressor, and if anyone was a terrorist it was him.

If somebody is shouting at you, that doesn't confer upon you the right to punch his lights out. If you choose to do so you are committing a criminal act of assault, and he is entitled to defend himself from your attack.

So, once again, who is the terrorist (your word), and who the victim here.
