While reporting live in Gaza, FOX News reporter David Lee Miller was fired upon during a live television report. In the video you hear the gun shot while Miller is talking to the camera and the reaction from the crew in the FOX studio.
The hateful left has some really tolerant comments about Miller’s close call over at The Huffington Post. Here is just a taste of their death wishes for David Lee:

Kudos to FOX and all the FOX staff for getting out there and getting the story

Those posters were as uninformed as they were unsympathetic. All they has to do was inform themshelvs by look up his bio. Guess they are not as smart as they think.
Here is a portion of Miller’s Bio:
Most recently, Miller covered the Iraqi elections while embedded with U.S. troops in Mosul. Other stories he has reported on include the ongoing Israeli/Palestinian conflict from Jerusalem, the election deadlock in Florida and Operation Enduring Freedom, where he was stationed in Manama, Bahrain. Miller also provided on-site coverage of Operation Iraqi Freedom from Centcom, Qatar and Baghdad.

Yeah, those nasty, hateful American soldiers! They should all be lined up and shot like the dogs they are.
That should get me some points with the left…

No, but it illustrates the caliber of it’s leftist readers.
If it officially posts an article where someone dreams Dick Cheney, the VPOTUS, was shot then why not some reporter.
No, it would have been better if this video showed American Soldiers being shot. Thats the left’s problem… No American Soldiers were killed!!

It’s quite interesting that two of the largest and most publicized liberal blogs, Huffington Post & Daily Koz attract the most heinous and hateful liberals to comment. Also what’s interesting is that such comments are in violation of their own comment policies yet they allow them anyway. sigh More liberal extremist hypocrisy in action, eh?

Hilarious comments from Huffington. Thanks Ian.

Why was the Fox news reporter giving away troop movements of the Israelis in a live broadcast though?
Wasn’t Geraldo kicked out of Iraq for doing essentially hte same thing?
There is no resaon to cheer and hope for any person to be shot, that is repugnant and childish.
But if this reporter was giving away troop positions of the Israelis, I would have a problem with that.
Never see them (any news reporter) giving away the positions of the terrorists….

Personally, I have no problem with most of their comments about a media that they dislike. Hey, we would have made some pretty crass comments if it were a NYT reporter (like that would ever happen, a NYT reporter off of the hotel balcony).
What I do have a problem with, are the left’s inevitable Israel hating and US military hating comments. Case in point: Huff poster blames Israeli soldier while Dallas indicates that it may have been an American.

First of all Jerry, don’t lump me in with you on that stupid statement. I don’t want anyone shot at! Even yes… Pelosi, Reid, Dean, Gore, Soros and Franken… well maybe you could shoot in the vicinity of Franken… but not at him! lol
Also, I refuse to let the argument ride that “we would have done it too” because two wrongs don’t make a right. We as conservatives stand on principles and we should not allow any of “us” to wallow in the mud with low life letists that would even entertain the notion that it is “alright” to shoot or hurt someone in anyway.
Sorry for being an a-hole, that is, if you’re even a conservative.

While I deplore the commentors from the Hufington Post, the guys is broadcasting from a war zone. What does he expect is going to happen? He needs to be more vigillent next time and not forget that just because he’s wearing a bullet-proof vest doesn’t mean he can’t be hurt. I hope that other reporters will learn his lesson. Reporters are insane for the positions they put themselves in.
STAY SAFE GUYS!! YOU ARE NOT INVINCIBLE JUST BECAUSE YOU ARE A REPORTER AND ARE TALKINGING INTO A MICROPHONE

Typical FOX reporting.
Did you even read Ian’s thread or watch the video? I watched this report live yesterday as it was unfolding.
The incident happened on the scene in GAZA, not Iraq.
The only “Americans” who could have shot at him would have been his crew at the scene or his colleagues at other news networks.
That probably wouldn’t have been good for business.
Secondly, Miller never said that he had just “heard gun shots.”
He and his crew are in the middle of a freaking war zone, of course he’s gonna hear gunshots! Imagine that.
If you actually bothered to listen to what he said, he was saying that someone was shooting at them because a shot hit very close to where he was reporting the live segment.
I’ll take his word for it since I wasn’t physically at the scene and I have no evidence to dispute his claims.
You may want to refrain from posting further comments if you don’t even bother to read the thread or watch the video because it just makes you look like a partisan hack that doesn’t care about anything but taking childish cheap shots at FNC and Republicans.

Dallas does make a good observation, there are those on this blog, as well, who post some very inappropriate statements when someone on the left comes under fire and vice versa.
It just shows that tolerance on the Left and Right is in small quantities. Personal attacks are nothing new to either party.

Dude.. chill out.. I didn’t mean to imply everyone. I should have said “some people” instead of “we”.
This is an open forum. If a CNN reporter was fired upon, there would have been crass remarks. To think otherwise is not realistic.
I don’t mind media potshots from either side. I do mind potshots at our country and our military.
Please don’t question my conservatism. I challenge you to find ANYTHING I have ever posted that could be construed as un-conservative.

PS… I have to say, I’ve had the misfortune of having several Daily KOS posters infiltrate my site. These disgusting liberals are, as the Bible (Luke in book of Acts) puts it, “lewd men of the baser sort.” Can they speak without using the “f” word? Do these people have jobs? And is this their reaction when CNN reporters are in the cross fire in Iraq, or do they proclaim them heroes?

Hey jackass…you can hear the shot hit the concrete and/or car next to them. As someone pointed out earlier, you obviously have not watched the clip, but if you do, listen and you can hear a few of the shots.
But I know, Fox News is out to destroy the world and they make up things like being shot at to help them come closer to accomplishing that goal…stupid me.

Well all of you who say that you’ve read as bad or worse over here, well, this is a site dedicated to outing the libs for the fools that they are. I’ve been to the puffington post and if you think people are mean to you here, you libs, try posting something conservative over there. You know the foul language is more rampant over there then it is here. I gues Anon, Billy Bob, Dallas, Uk Pot smoker, et. al. think that we on the right should be “above that” like those who think that GC should be given to terrorists. Well, I guess you get a bit perturbed when someone slings the mud your way. I have to agree with Amy, the idiots on the left can’t come up with any other adjectives than the f-word, or retard. Both are disgusting!
So, libs if you can’t take the heat stay out of the kitchen and just take your meals at puffington & kos, and quit crying in your beer when people on a conservative site disagree with you.

Better still are the end comments that aren’t included in this vid, when Fox and Friends commentator notes:
“Bad people don’t care if it’s the press, they just shoot at anything.”
“But… he said it was the Israelis shooting at him…”

Ian hates President Bush and wants to kill him.
Now, by your reasoning, it would be legitimate for a blog (say, the Huffington Post) to write “Expose the Left Leader ‘Wants to Kill’ President Bush”
But Ian didn’t say that. So it would only be inflammatory to say that his site said that. Got it?

Unfortunately this is how it works. Kids go to grade school and like the stupid trends some people can’t stay away from people talk bad about the President because some of their parents probably watch CNN and think it is reality. As they grow up they dwell in ignorance closing their ears. If they are lucky someday someone who they listen to explains to them how it really is and was idiots liberals are. They really haven’t the slightest clue. I’m mean if liberals take over this country it is finished, they will standing there with their thumbs up their asses trying to negotiate with terrorists as they blow their fucking heads off. The audacity and stupidity of these people is unreal. We are at war against terror wherever it is and we will have to kill as many assholes as we can ASAP. If we kill some innocent assholes who let terrorists live among them, and support them that is their problem. Liberals are becoming more and more stupid by the day with all the conspiracy bullshit. It’s one thing to be ignorant, and worse to be plain fucking stupid and far worse not even being able to slightly comprehend the truth. We are not free in this fucking country unless there is no one out there trying to extinguish all of us. Therefore our brave soldiers have to die to protect the freedom we do have. So all liberals, I am sick of your ignorant bullshit-leave this country you have no idea what freedom is all about.
