Then, referring to his son's executioners, he said: "They did not know what they were doing. They killed their best friend."

Nothing like politicizing your son's death.

His son was there on his own accord. Bush had nothing to do with it.

Savage is right, liberalism is a mental illness.

[cyncooper]

Let me get this straight...he practically praises those who butchered his son and taped it and aired it for the world and turns around and blames Bush and Rumsfeld.

Can this father not see any good at all in Bush and Rumsfeld? None? Apparently he prides himself on his "tolerance" of his son's murderers but can't grant the same to his own country. He knows what was done to his son and he sees evil in the President of the United States and the Secretary of Defense.

[cyncooper]

With the media egging him on.

"I am sure that he only saw the good in his captors until the last second of his life," Berg said.

Please tell me, what was the "good" that he saw.

Then, referring to his son's executioners, he said: "They did not know what they were doing. They killed their best friend."

The father is a piece of dogs$%^, no way would I EVER make an excuse for savages that SAWED MY SON'S HEAD OFF on camera.

[rep-always]

I refer you all back to the Bible. The sins of the father etc. It is amazing how this man can speak this way about President Bush and Secretary Rumsfeld and in the same breath excuse his son's murderers. Grieve or not I cannot excuse this type of talk.

"They did not know what they were doing. They killed their best friend."

My word. If my family ever did this to me, I would get a 24 hour pass from St Peter and make thwem regret it.

"I am sure that he only saw the good in his captors until the last second of his life," Berg said.

Some people are a little slow...

My son died for the sins of George Bush and Donald Rumsfeld. This administration did this,

This girlyman is beginning to piss me off. He insisted his son be unprotected by US forces, lawsuit filed 4/5/04 in PA Federal Court.

[Alberta's Child]

This is precisely the kind of rational thought that I would expect from brain-damaged morons like this. Just consider the father's comments in the context of this unbelievable sequence of events:

1. Nick Berg is allegedly detained by U.S. military and/or FBI personnel in Iraq.

2. Family files a lawsuit in U.S. Federal court, claiming that he is being detained against his will.

3. Nick Berg is released. U.S. military and/or FBI personnel warn him that Iraq is a dangerous place, and offer to fly him home. He refuses.

4. After his execution, his father blames the Bush administration and the U.S. military -- for their failure to detain Nick Berg against his will and send him home.

It just doesn't get any more rational than that, now does it?

[RightWhale]

We're not going to continue to give Dad the benefit of the shock and grief factor much longer. If he is well enough to talk to the press, he is well enough to be treated like any other demagogue.

[Delbert]

The father is dishonoring the son and the rest of the sons family.

[Militiaman7]

Anybody getting tired of cutting Michael Berg any slack?

He's coming very close to loosing any pity I have for him.

[Petronski]

Mr. Berg:

The mohammadans whom you've been providing aid and comfort didn't use a guillotine to slay your son.

They used a machete, probably rusty. And you, pere Berg, and your comrades at CANSWER have been empowering the bastards. You provide your rhetorical aid and comfort to them and they repay you by slaughtering your son.

Bush and Rumsfeld didn't do this, filthy mohammadan savages killed you son. They killed him because he was an American and a Jew.

Did you think they would try to make peace with you, as their benefactor? LOL

Feel the burn?

[dave k]

Berg described the Patriot Act as a "coup d'etat." He added: "It's not the same America I grew up in."


You're right, Mr. Berg...this is certainly not a case of "Father Knows Best", either (pun intended). More like "Father Knows Nothing About The Price of Freedom". I understand his grief, but rebuke his condemnation of our Commander In Chief.

It amazes me that people continue to blame Bush for the montrosities of barbarians.

[an amused spectator]

Savage is right, liberalism is a mental illness.

Michael Berg appears to have had the liberal operation: lobotomy shortly after birth, with the cranial contents being replaced with a steaming hot bucket of Clinton.

I've never been sure how the optic nerves of a liberal translate brown into "rainbows" or "rose". ;-)

[Libertina]

What a dishonor to his son's memory and beliefs. His son supported his president and the War on Terror. Shame on his weak-kneed father.

[bmwcyle]

It more like sins of the father.

Then, referring to his son's executioners, he said: "They did not know what they were doing. They killed their best friend."
====================================

I have called for not criticizing him and allowing him to grieve for the loss of his son. Apparently, however, he does not want to grieve. He wants to blame the president instead of the murdering sub-humans who took his son's life. I am still calling for compassion, but I don't know how long it will last.

Mr. Berg, your son was not their best friend. He was trying to do his part to help build a free society. The animals who killed your son don't give a damn about that. They want their Islamofascist society. They will kill you and the rest of your family if you give them a chance. You are the one who does not know what he is doing.

[mtbopfuyn]

He added: "It's not the same America I grew up in."

That's right. The America he grew up in, the people supported the POTUS, we had reporters rather than journalists out to put a scandalous spin on everything, and the people were loyal to the US and it's military. Back in his day, he'd be called a Communist.

The kid was out of his mind to go to Iraq.
