Abused By Illusions

The discussion board at FreeRepublic.com, a prominent right-wing online forum, contains numerous posts from members advocating violence against NBC News correspondent Kevin Sites, who recorded and reported the close-range shooting by a U.S. Marine of an unarmed and wounded Iraqi insurgent.

Comments about Sites on Free Republic include:

"Turn Sites over to the terrorist."
"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."
