Berg's Father Demands Answers From Bush (Free Republic mentioned)

FYI.

BTW, it was a year ago this month that ANSWER posted its statement giving unconditional support to those who ended up killing Michael Berg's son. I wonder if he knows; I wonder if he cares?

[68skylark]

Berg said he did not blame the terrorists for his son's violent death.

That's a bizarre sentence. There has to be a typo or some similar mistake.

[Born in a Rage]

Berg said he did not blame the terrorists for his son's violent death. "Nicholas Berg died for the sins of George Bush and Donald Rumsfeld," he said, shortly after posting a "War is not the Answer" sign on his front lawn. "The al-Qaeda people are probably just as bad as they are, but this administration did this."

So do you think he is speaking figuratively or that he really believes the conspiracy theory that the masked men weren't AQ?

[Lucky2]

I feel for this family and poor Nick Berg, but to blame President Bush is a disgrace. Bush didn't take a knife and chop off Berg's head, it was our enemy an Muslim terriorist. I'm sick and tired of President Bush being made the scape-goat every time something tragic happens. Wake up Michael Berg, your son was killed by our enemy, the muslim terrorists, just like 3000 of your fellow US citizens were on 9/11/2001.

Hmmm. McGee's theory seems more possible the more you hear from the father on this. Maybe Dad should not have warned his son not to trust the state department?

Mr Berg is a disgrace.
His politics take precedence over his son's horrid murder.
How dare Mr. Berg state that his son died for "the sins
of POTUS and Rummy."

[Senator Goldwater]

"The administration did this"

No, Mr Berg. Al-Qaeda did this, and this is why the administration has brought war to Iraq and other countries that support these animals.

[The South Texan]

I don't think this guy, Micheal Berg, is playing with a full deck.

[Rummyfan]

Berg said he did not blame the terrorists for his son's violent death.

This man is wacked! He doesn't blame his son's murderers and only three days after news of his son's murder he politicizes it. Just makes this whole situation even fishier. Did Berg the elder dispatch Nicholas to Iraq on some dirty mission to link up with AQ?

[MamaLucci]

"The al-Qaeda people are probably just as bad as they are, but this administration did this."

This guys nuts.

[endthematrix]

Are we coming to the realization that some allegiances are for keeps?

[68skylark]

"The Right seized upon his terrible death to try to reverse the momentum of horror over prisoners being abused," he said. "They immediately seized upon that to say, `You see. These are the people we're dealing with.'"

Those zany right-wingers -- they're always trying to bring a little perspective and sanity to all the anti-Americanism in the press!

[Born in a Rage]

Maybe Nick Berg left the country and went all around the world to get away from his father!

[Doctor Raoul]

The list appeared on www.freerepublic.com, a neo-conservative, pro-war Web site...

NICOLE WEISENSEE EGAN needs to understand one thing:

Neo-cons

"WEISENSEE EGAN" is the Latin phrase for "I need a man."

[TSgt]

You are correct!

"Liberalism is a mental illness" - Michael Savage

[Jeff Gordon]

An Iranian TV station stated that the CIA had Berg killed to take the prison abuse heat off of the administration.

Given Berg's father's politics, statements and association with ANSWER is it possible that Berg Senior had Berg Junior killed to put the heat on the administration? </ sarcasim (maybe)

[lone star annie]

I am sorry but Michael Berg has managed to blame everybody except the people who slaughtered his son. This man is a classic example of a person whose religion is liberalism.

[Wormwood]

"Nicholas Berg died for the sins of George Bush and Donald Rumsfeld," he said,

I'd like to extend my sympathy for your loss.

Jerk.

"Berg said he did not blame the terrorists for his son's violent death."

I understand this mans grief but WTF????
