A lot of the Freepers are just plain sick. Sick bastards.

Apparently, according to the "patriots" at Freeperland, reporting the truth is "TREASON!" :argh:

Posts on conservative website advocate violence against journalist

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.

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1281423/posts

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" .

: "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."

1. thats just that...

...huge shift in moral values that is going on in this country that we are all missing out on whilst sipping our lattes and having gay sex in the streets.

we need to get with the program!

2. He is safer in Iraq than here.

In a larger sense I feel this war is absolutely immoral
but as far as the grunts go, yes, if they are caught committing crimes covered under the UCMJ, then by all means follow the proceedure. They are going to be haunted by PTSD issuses for the rest of their lives otherwise. No reason to villify them or the reporters who show us the ugly realities.

Rumsfeld, Wolfowitz, Perle, Feith, Cheney... all the Chimp's men need to be held accountable and treated the same way the convicted Nazis were after the Nuremburg Trials.

A generation ago that ought to have been done to Dean Rusk and Robt. MacNamarra.

3. Apparently Many Freeper had bad Childhoods

Either that or spoiled rotten and unsympathetic rich fucks.

I'd like to send him a note of encouragement, from an ex-newsie to a current one.

6. they're very sick and very pathetic. but i think most of them

are just big talkers. they like making up dungeons and dragons type names, then pretend they're hitching up their pants, shift their toothpick, and type/talk big.

real bunch of tough guys.

16. Exactly. How come they are in Iraq themselves?

[mpanno]

7. And they say they have moral values?

If this if "High morals"... ARRRRRRGGGGGGHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!

Nothing like a good primal scream!! :argh: :argh:

8. Idiot Imus was saying same thing this am n/t

9. Ethics and morality is treason to those freaks.

Anything, especially the communication of facts, that jepordizes the political power of Republicans is treason to those freaks. That is the only thing that they consider treasonable.

[proud patriot]

10. anything against their benevolent master leads the puppets to rage

these people think the only way to be a patriot
is to agree blindly or excuse blindly any blunders
and outright Criminal activity conducted by the
Master. The Constitution just gets in the way of
doing their masters bidding . The rule of law is
just another obstacle to total 100% allegiance goals.

I love America and I disagree with bush
I send care packages to our Soldiers Serving
I carry The Constitution with my family pictures
Everywhere I go .

5 generations of my family have Fought for my Freedom
I plan on Exercising it Everyday Of My Life to do
otherwise would dishonor those who fought for my
Freedom .

If that pisses off the regressive
right wing WACKO's ... SO BE IT .

11. Sometimes I look at exchanges on there and wonder...

are there people who REALLY think that way, or is that just a bunch of DUer disruptors trying to out-rightwing each other?

[Texasgal]

12. Hey! why don't we turn them in

to the Dept. Of Homeland security? /sarcasm

[DulceDecorum]

15. Because,

the very first thing that most federal agencies do
when someone files a complaint with them,
is to develop an intricate and highly detailed dossier on the person doing the complaining.

Anonymous
now has a two-inch thick file for reporting DU to Homeland Security.

13. yes, many of them seem to be mentally ill........nt
