Lets leave a grieving father out of it. Period. People say and do things they don't mean during a time like this. Even if he means it, lets leave it alone, all things considered.

Shenews : Sheila Lennon Shenews is apparently one of these conspiracy theory generating leftwing blogs, it was the only one that came up in Google under a search for "Michael S. Berg" Prometheus ... Here is a pic of the lovely blogger.

How about this about a "michael berg":

http://www.charleston.net/stories/091403/loc_14protest.shtml

"This is what democracy looks like. This is what democracy feels like," was one of the more popular chants shouted by about 60 people as they walked several blocks in downtown Charleston on Saturday afternoon.

Maria Clarken, 8, of Charleston slips on a President Bush mask Saturday during a march at Marion Square. The demonstration was sponsored by Thinking People and Charleston Peace.

The march was part of a three-hour peace rally based in a corner of Marion Square, where speaker after speaker expressed the general notion that the American government and military should stop violating other countries and stop oppressing people, including those within its own borders. Specifically, the speakers attacked the Bush administration for America's invasion of Iraq.

"Bush used the terrorist attack on our country to invade other countries for no reason," Michael Berg shouted into a microphone on a small tent-covered stage, his fist punching the air above him. "He has distracted us from the worst economy we've had in years."

Assuming this is the same Michael Berg, or that Nick had a brother named Michael, this guy and/or this family is very active and very involved in ANSWER.

IMHO, there's a lot more to this whole thing than we are seeing.

Why not remind him of the lefts roll in Berg's death? Also Berg was offered safe passage home and did not take it. I don't buy the detained business. Sounds like they are trying to use this to get something going that has nothing to do with the truth.

How could the Iraqis read FR ? I doubt they have P4's with 2 gig of ram and broadband service.

Same way I do...AMD K-6 350MH 256MB 56K dial up, and a blown chip on the (unused) Ethernet controller: SLOWLY!

Hillary started this, and her usefull idiots are responding.

It just doesn't seem to work anymore...They've lost control of the media, by the advent of the new media.

That's she she wants to shut down FR.

Her usefull idiots are responding.

" They haven't had a good turn at the "right wing nuts" since Oklahoma City, and if a semi-legit outlet like Salon reports this, it WILL get picked up. We'd best be ready for the onslaught."

That you, Rip? Van Winkle?

What is amazing to me is that apparently Michael was raised around this junk against the government and his father's political views, yet, he was wise enough to see through it and decide to be an American, support the Iraq war and even want to help.

The reason they may have had questions about him, is the fact of his father's activities which were public knowledge. That is sure not the fault of an online conservative group - that is the fault of his father's actions.

It appears that Michael had a mind of his own and made many of his own choices - some which did not turn out so well for him.

[ClancyJ]

Whoops - meant Nick - not Michael.

They left an "O" out of Saloon-no one can dream up the stuff they do, sober.

[MinuteGal]

I wouldn't give Saloon the time of day. Anything you say will be used against you.....even "good morning".

Yes (with the name correction) it is remarkable.

[yooper]

I think I recall participating in that thread. I recall posting some comical remarks about various names on the list, but I don't recall Berg.

I hope you're not losing any sleep over this. The five Islamanazi cowards are to blame.

My advice would be to direct this reporterette to the thread and let her draw her own conclusions, and say no more.

[cyncooper]

ack!

I always like putting a face with a name. Thanks...I think.

LOL

"ANSWER's member list includes known communists and anarchists I indeed consider them the enemies of this government. Salon should too, shouldn't they?"

Enemy's of THIS government, yes. Enemy's of democratic administrations, NO! Enemy's of the country? All the way, every day.

[Ron in Acreage]

This may be stupid to ask but here I go. Why do all photos of Berg in the US show him clean shaven and all Iraq photos with a beard? What significance, if any, does the beard have? Religion influenced? Just curious.

[Boot Hill]

So the theory is that by placing Berg's name on the "Enemies List", that is what got Berg killed. What do you say we test that theory and add author Fintan Dunne's name to the "Enemies List" and see what happens.

Who knows, maybe we could get lucky.
