We are actually sharing oxygen with them.

Their brain isn't getting it's fair share.

"The family firm of beheaded American Nick Berg, was named by a conservative website in a list of 'enemies' of the Iraq occupation. That could explain his arrest by Iraqi police --a detention which fatally delayed his planned return from Iraq and may have led directly to his death."

The flights of fancy that some on the Left take must be quite expensive, given the cost of jet fuel these days. Just this paragraph alone represents leaps and extrapolations that could land one in the next galaxy.

[alisasny]

Iz its just comical and I hope doug is laughing too.

Sadly it may come at the expense of poor Nick Berg however..... that is not our problem at this point. If his father is going to be an ass and blame Bush then all is fair in love and war.

[alisasny]

Neither makes sense since doug copied the list and had no idea who the members of the list were....

[alloysteel]

Sure they are. It's all Bush's fault.

Nobody said logic is involved. Might be some Froot Loops, though. Or bad angel dust.

[Billthedrill]

Some people on left-leaning blogs are floating the theory that Nick Berg was detained or singled out by U.S. authorities in Iraq because of the list you posted.

Uh, let me get this straight. They're positing that NICK Berg got detained because MICHAEL Berg's name was on a list? And just how did the Iraqi cops figure that one out? Magic? The CIA passed them the Master List Of All Americans Who Are Related To One Another? Tea leaves? Ouija board?

Son, take some advice. Other people's paranoia isn't your problem.

[MNJohnnie]

Ok, ANSWER actively opposes the US Governments position on every issue. I guess that kind of explains why we would think of them as enemies. ANSWER oppose the US Government for the SAKE of opposing the US Government, NOT from any vision of a better alternative solution. By doing that, Answer is a propaganda arm for the Terrorists. I do not know if Answer does this KNOWINGLY or just cannot figure out the logical conclusion of their actions.

Doug, I have only read one blog from a
crackpot wherein he cited FR as a site of
"right-wing haters" and he also provided a
link to your post naming the answer folks.

I pinged you to that thread.
I can find it if you wish.

Salon can take a flying you know what.
I didn't know they were still being
propped-up and in business.

If anything, your post got him offered a free trip home at the expense of the US taxpayer. He should have taken it.

[Greg_99]

ya know............if we have this much power................................maybe we should use it for (ahem) useful stuff.

[Vigilantcitizen]

First, does this sound like reality:

Iraqi police officer: I have suspect, named Joe Jones in custody.

Iraqi police supervisor: Standby Achmed while I surf FR for info on suspect. Hey...he's an anti-war communist protester, arrest him.

------------------

Don't think so.

Secondly, Nick Berg was pro-Bush and pro-Iraq war. His father is the Answer member.

Third, the state department offered Berg a flight home.

The left is really going overboard in their conspiracy theories over Berg's death. They are doing more damage to their own cause than we ever could.

[SauronOfMordor]

Another poster on another thread expressed the possibility that a telecom specialist, known to be associated with supporters of the anti-American Iraqi resistance, and with no sensible economic reason for being there, might have been drawn there with ideas of helping the anti-American side with their communications.

And then discovered too late that "dead men tell no tales".

Dear Salon,

I think they are all enemies of the free state. They advocate replacing a government of, for and by the people, to a centralized socialist form of government. Anyone subscribing to such thought is an enemy of the state.

Nick Berg's father is an enemy of the state.

Michael Moore and George Soros are enemies of the state. If I had my druthers, they all would be given the option of deportation, or internment.

We are at war against those who hate this country and its judeo-christian values and ethics [liberals], and we are war against Islamic-Muslim culture and countries. Islam is evil. 99.9% of all terror and war has Islam as a common denominator. THIS IS NOT A WAR AGAINST TERROR.

Its that simple for me.

[MizSterious]

Amazing logic, isn't it? I wonder what they're smokin' over there?

[Clara Lou]

Well, well. Mr. Talbot can sure pick the losers, can't he?

[Ron in Acreage]

ANSWER posted the list themselves. You apparently posted the list and added the headline. They are the enemies of America.

[Williams]

I'd also like to point out the terrorists would just have readily killed the father as the son, and I would have just as quickly been outraged and wanted to see the terrorists killed.

[Enterprise]

Well said. I trying to formulate something along those lines but you nailed it precisely.

[Poohbah]

Michael Moore and George Soros are enemies of the state. If I had my druthers, they all would be given the option of deportation, or internment.

Your option leaves them alive and able to cause mischief.

[narby]

Obviously the left is feeling the heat over their guilt in getting Berg beheaded because they pushed this prison hazing scandal in the media.

Attack seems to be their best method of defense, since otherwise they have none.
