LA HABRA, Calif. (AP) - A couple whose home was wrongly identified on national television as belonging to an Islamic radical has faced harassment, and police are providing special protection.

After the report ran on Fox News on Aug. 7, people have shouted profanities at Randy and Ronnell Vorick and spray-painted "terrorist" (spelling it "terrist") on their property.

"I'm scared to go to work and leave my kids home. I call them every 30 minutes to make sure they're OK," Randy Vorick said.

John Loftus, a former federal prosecutor who appears on the Fox News segment "Inside Scoop with John Loftus," gave out the house address during the broadcast.

1. That is so fucked up.

However, they should get millions from suing the shit out of Fox.

2. What a Christian thing to do, FAUX

I am so glad these people are great Christians. FAUX goes off half-cocked in hopes that someone hate crimes a minority family, and gets the wrong people in the process. Then more good christians come along and spit hate and vitriol at them and vandalize their property. How much sicker will this twisted America get before it gets cured or dies?
