RUMBLE AT RUMSFELD'S ROUND III - D.C. CHAPTER Vs. ANSWER & MICHAEL BERG, JUNE 5

D.C. Chapter ^ | Friday, May 28, 2004 | Kristinn

[kristinn]

The D.C. Chapter of Free Republic invites all FReepers and lurkers in good standing to join us in Washington, D.C. on Saturday, June 5, 2004 as we stand up for America against the communist front group International A.N.S.W.E.R. and their new poster boy, Michael Berg.

A.N.S.W.E.R. will be holding a so-called antiwar rally and march on June 5. The rally begins at noon at Lafayette Park in front of the White House. The march is scheduled to begin at 2 p.m. The commies will proceed north up 14th Street then turn west on U Street and Florida Avenue then turn north on Connecticut Avenue, ending at Kalorama Road, N.W., where they will kow-tow to the ChiCom embassy before heading a few blocks west on Kalorama to meet the D.C. Chapter at Secretary of Defense Rumsfeld's home.

We are asking people who support our troops and their mission in Iraq and elsewhere fighting the war on terrorists to join us in a peaceful demonstration in support of them and Secretary of Defense Rumsfeld.

The D.C. Chapter has made two successful stands there recently against small groups of the anti-American left, establishing our bona fides with the law enforcement regulars on the scene as peaceful and law-abiding.

This time, however, the left will be bringing thousands of fellow travelers to the scene. While we know we won't match them in numbers, with your help we can beat them with the truth.

Michael Berg, the father of Nick Berg will be there front and center as A.N.S.W.E.R.'s prized propaganda tool. Nick Berg was the young American who was kidnapped and gruesomely beheaded by terrorists in Iraq.

Some on FR have said we should avoid criticizing Michael Berg that day. I strongly disagree. Mr. Berg has capitalized on his son's murder to further his anti-American agenda and has given aid and comfort to the enemy by placing the killers of his son in higher regard than President Bush, whom he blames for his son's death.

Further, Mr. Berg has chosen to stand with those who support the killers of his son. Since May, 2003, A.N.S.W.E.R. has had the following statement on their website, "The anti-war movement here and around the world must give its unconditional support to the Iraqi anti-colonial resistance."

Mr. Berg has been a proud supporter of A.N.S.W.E.R., signing his name to their petitions against America's liberation of Iraq and in support of Fidel Castro. He recently released a statement that has been published around the world condemning President Bush while singing the praises of his son's murderers.

Mr. Berg has stepped into the political arena and is viciously swinging his rhetorical machete at the heads of President Bush, Secretary Rumsfeld and our troops in the field. Mr. Berg will be standing with the enemy on June 5. We will stand against him and those he marches with.

When: Saturday, June 5, 2004 from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m.

Where: 2200 block of Kalorama Road, NW, near the French ambassador's residence.

Bring: American flags and signs bearing messages of support for President Bush, Secretary Rumsfeld, America and our troops.

Please note, if you drive there park on the side streets west of Connecticut Avenue and south of the Taft Bridge. The closest Metro station is Woodley Park on the Red Line.

There are no nearby public restrooms, as this is in a neighborhood. The closest restaurant is on Connecticut just below Kalorama.

We have obtained a demonstration permit from the Metropolitan Police Department for this. If you do not feel that you can control yourself in the face of America-hating leftists, please stay home because we need this demonstration to be peaceful.

As always, the D.C. Chapter's rules for protesting will be in effect. Briefly, they are: No violence, no racism, no profanity, no provocations, obey the law and treat all law enforcement officers with respect.

We'll not be using those graphics at our freep. We've got a serious point to make that would be seriously undermined by using joke posters about Nick Berg's execution.

We'll make our point, and we'll do it strongly, but we have to do it right.

[Chieftain]

Ok, so how are you gonna deal with the Michael Berg issue?

Make a handmade sign and call him an idiot??

I wanna follow the point you made, but you are vague.

C'mon back... and gimmie some ideas

[kristinn]

I'm being vague for a reason. We don't announce all our plans in public (or in private for that matter.)

[Homer_J_Simpson]

Mr. Berg may have contributed to his son's death by instilling in him the liberal belief that his good intentions would shield him from harm, IMHO.

The Nick Berg story sort of resembles the Rachel Corrie story. Anti-American leftists raise child steeped in their own hateful philosophy who are thus inspired to get in over his/her head (oops - sorry) in far-off land, with disasterous results. A variation is the Marin Johnny Jihad story.

"A.N.S.W.E.R. has had the following statement on their website, "The anti-war movement here and around the world must give its unconditional support to the Iraqi anti-colonial resistance.""

I sure wish I could join you. I've recently been tracing my family tree. Many of my ancestors fought in the Civil war and the Revolution. I can tell you if statements like the above had been made, the suspected perp would have been shot on sight, they didn't waste time with lawyers. "anti-colonial resistance", my white Irish Butt. This is aid and comfort of the enemy. Makes me sick.

[AuntB]

If you make the rally, please be careful. Don't do anything that I'd like to do!

[Doctor Raoul]

My ex-wife was a Leo....

I never expected gay marriage to last...

[F-117A]

Bump!

[WVNan]

Sure could use these guys on June 5.

So go ask them to hang around. I'm sure some of them would be happy to.

[Mudboy Slim]

"Don't do anything that I'd like to do!"

No can do...why else would I drive four hours round trip?!

I wanna whup some Lib'ral ARSE...and I shall!!

Heh heh heh...MUD

[weegee]

BUMP

[GVnana]

Excellent Freep. Ah...It's starting to feel like a real election year!

[stillnoprotestsagainstmuslims]

That`s what I heard too, that Nick was actually for liberation, so what this tells me is that his father is really betraying his son not once but twice. First by supporting his killers by not blaming them, and second by betraying his sons political beliefs. Daaamn, it just goes to show how sinister the mental disease of liberalism is. Betraying your own child after he`s murdered! I could not even fathom it.

[AGreatPer]

Michael Berg is obviously a very sick person.

I still recommend we stay off of him.

CANSWER is our problem, not one little jerk with a sick mind.

[Constantine XIII]

May you smite them mercilessly with the rigeous hammer of obvious truth!

Go get em!

[Constantine XIII]

er, righteous hammer! :)

[Jimmy Valentine's brother]

TRUTH, cANSWER CAN'T HANDLE THE TRUTH! (especially when it's obvious.)

[Angelwood]

I'm taking this opportunity to say HI! to you with this bump. Take care.

[visualops]

Not at all. Comparing Nick Berg to Rachel *spit* Corrie and Johnny Jihad is an insult to his memory. Nick Berg formed his own stance regarding the war despite whatever nonsense his father may have tried to instill in him.

Berg's sister confused over Moore's taped interview

BY WILLIAM BUNCH

Knight Ridder Newspapers

 

PHILADELPHIA - (KRT) - The sister of Nick Berg, the contractor from the Philadelphia suburbs who was beheaded earlier this month in Iraq, says she's dumbfounded by reports that liberal icon Michael Moore had filmed an interview with her late brother for his new anti-war film.

"I'm very skeptical of this," said Sara Berg, a Virginia attorney whose brother's beheading sparked a global uproar.

But she said there was no way to confirm that Moore had sent a tape of the reported 20-minute interview to their parents' home in West Chester, as the filmmaker suggested in a statement Thursday, because the couple has been away.

-snip-

Stranger than that: Why would Moore or his crew interview Berg for "Fahrenheit 9/11" for 20 minutes, when Berg's family insists the slain contractor was pro-Bush and supported the American military action in Iraq?

-snip-

Friends of Berg, the Henderson High School grad, say he was an adventurous, inventive and perhaps naive young man who simply wanted to help in the rebuilding of Iraq but disregarded safety warnings, traveling solo and in private taxis.
