Michael Berg Is Insane
Judson Cox, May 17, 2004
Few people take Michael Savage seriously when he claims "liberalism is a mental disease." But, how else would you describe a man who, after watching al Qaida cut off his son’s head, blames President Bush and describes his son’s murderers as "sick people" who have "some good in them"? How do liberals like Mr. Berg blame President Bush for al Qaida killing three thousand people on 9-11? Do the terrorists bear none of the blame -- are they also sick people with some good in them? How can liberals equate the deaths of over half a million Iraqis, tortured and killed by Saddam Hussein, to the deviant actions of 12 American prison guards? How can they continue to deny Saddam’s links to al Qaida?
U.S. District Court judge Harold Baer, has made a legal finding that Iraq was behind the 9-11 attacks. His ruling was upheld by the 2nd Circuit Court of Appeals.
According to Czech intelligence, Mohammed Atta met with Iraqi intelligence agents in Prague just prior to the 9-11 attacks.
Papers found in Iraqi intelligence headquarters document Saddam's efforts to establish a relationship with al-Qaida. Osama bin Laden’s top aid visited Iraq in 1998 at Saddam’s request.
How can they say that military courts are insufficient to punish 12 prison guards, but too harsh for terrorists and enemy combatants? How is it that they always find excuses for the actions of our enemies, but always manage to condemn our soldiers? Why do they insist that every picture of every act of abuse committed by 12 American prison guards be made public to make America look as bad as possible, but do everything in their power to prevent everything from the 9-11 footage to the execution of Nick Berg from being shown? Why will they not admit that we are at war with an enemy that seeks to destroy us? How can they contend that the war in Iraq is a racist, imperialist "war for oil," when our dead lay piled in the streets, killed by terrorists loyal to, and funded by, Saddam Hussein?
Liberals insist that America is complicit in a "cycle of violence." They see America as the aggressor, much as do the al Qaida terrorists who beheaded Nick Berg, supposedly in retaliation for the Abu Grhaib prison abuses. What was the beheading of Daniel Pearl in retaliation for? How about the four American contractors who were burned, mutilated and dragged through the streets of Fallujah? What was the motivation for retaliation behind 9-11, the USS Cole bombing, the Marines killed in Yemen in 1992, the first World Trade Center attack, Khobar Towers, the embassy bombings in Kenya and Tanzania or any other example from a list of Islamic terrorist bloodshed too long to enumerate? Liberals, like Madeline Albright, agree with the terrorists that all of these attacks against innocent Americans are in retaliation for the Crusades at their root!
Let’s look at the Crusades:
Muslims invaded Europe , and imposed their religion upon Westerners by force. Christian armies drove them back. The Crusades lasted about 200 years, but freed Europe from Islamic rule for nearly 1,000 years. Islamic fascism has always been the aggressor.
It is gut check time for America . I urge each of you to watch the video of Nick Berg’s execution, and Daniel Pearl’s and 9-11. See the true face of our enemy. They have vowed to destroy us, and they are doing so one person and 3,000 at a time. They don’t care if you are Republican or Democrat, capitalist or socialist, Christian or an enlightened liberal atheist college professor. They will kill you even if you are a movie star or a politician. If liberalism means that you cannot recognize, condemn or fight your enemy (or support your own country), then liberalism is a mental disease -- it is suicidal not only for the individual, but it will kill us all if we allow it to undermine our will to fight and win. There is something very wrong with a man who would denounce the Patriot Act and condemn President Bush after watching terrorists behead his son. Michael Berg is either insane or he is a traitor!

For dedicated lefties, politics is more important than anything, anything at all. All other values, behaviors, people, and life events are adjusted to validate and advance the politics. Lying, for instance, is a positive good if it is done in the service of leftism. I can trace this back to at least the 1930s within the American left. The "party line" changes occasionally, and "truth" changes right along with it. Never be surprised at what a convinced leftist will say or do.

Oh, now, don't post that. You'll get the liberals all confused.
They still aren't even convinced that a plane missiled into the Pentagon.
"We haven't heard the entire Berg story yet..."
Speaking of which, has anyone heard of a good explanation for why, if he was not in custody, Berg was still wearing his orange prison jump suit?
I don't care what anyone says about Michael Berg's "grief," he is nothing but a dispicable opportunist, who is using his son's death to promote his own hate-filled agenda. He is the lowest form of scum.
First--he was not blonde. He had reddish tinted hair.
Secondly, some of the more daring reporters adopted the Shi'a beard(or women donned the veil) to fit in and become less conspicuous. Also, this may surprise you, but the mustacheless beard(or Lincoln) is not unfashionable among the youth(white OR black)
His hair and beard were not black, the film is of such poor quality that you cannot see red tints. My father had blondeish hair, but had enough dark in it that a video of such poor quality(and even the color was off, look at the film) he might even show up as a "brunette."
See post #17.
I would speculate that someone working as/for the Iraqi police force was also working with the terrorist thugs, and they helped the thugs get access to and take Berg.
On video at the airport in Prague. In August of 2000 if I recall correctly. Iraq had it's hand in the 93 bombing of the WTC, and it has it's hand in 911. Four words to you liberals/socialist/democRATs reading this: "Ramsey Usef" and "Salmon Pak." For starters. Dickheads.

The jumpsuit wasn't prison issue. It has a shiny sheen to it and isn't cut from the same pattern. I'm sure it was used to suggest it was one of ours but look at it closely and you'll see it's not the same. They also used one of those cheap plastic white chairs and in a room that's painted that mustardy color the prison is. It's just Hollyweirding to make their point.
Speak for yourself, Judson. I agree with Dr. Savage...it is a disease.
Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!
I am sure that the others looked into my son's eyes and got at least a glimmer of what the rest of the world sees. And I am sure that these murderers, for just a brief moment, did not like what they were doing. ...
They got over it,after all it wasn't like he was really a human being, a believer.
In the end, Mr. Berg died because of the imbecility of Mr.Berg Sr.
I know that he is grieving over the horrendous death of his son but millions of people have grieved without being totally insane. This guy is either a real nutcase or is such a liberal activist that he would exploit the death of his son to try and end the presidency of George W. Bush.
O.K. Mr. Berg. We are sorry about the death of your son. Now, shut your ignorant mouth.
I took a quick peek...........
That sure doesn't look like the same guy to me. That dark haired guy was even a lot thinner. What do you think?
