Those sensitive Freepers

Just look at what the proud, all-American, compassionate citizens of the Free Republic had to say about NBC News correspondent Kevin Sites, who had the misfortune of pointing his camera in the wrong place and capturing an American Marine shooting an unarmed Iraqi insurgent:

* "Turn Sites over to the terrorists."
* "Fragamundo."
* "No need for anything overt. Unfortunate things happen in combat zones, and if the reporter fails to hear someone yell 'Sniper!!', well, c'est la guerre" [French for "that is war"].
* [In response to a post suggesting Sites's "life is in danger being around the Marines"]: "I would certainly hope so."
* "I hope the Marines advance and leave Sites behind...alone in Fallujah with his terrorist buddies."
* "I don't want the punk killed, I'd just like to see his hair mussed. Jaws wired shut for a few months, food through a straw, that kind of thing."
* "It's Kevin Sites who deserves to be held in contempt and who deserves the losing end of a bar fight."
* "I don't give a flying you-know-what about his safety."

Nice bunch of guys. Just the kind of "values-based" folks you'd love to have a beer with in your house. No wonder us librul Democrats lost; we're not in touch with red-hate America!
