Michael Berg Is Insane!
By Judson Cox (05/20/04)
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!

Berg politicized his son's death, the same day that he learned of the beheading. What does that tell you about the man? There is nothing more that should be said.
Here's some old stuff on Berg

I guess I'm one of the few who agree with Savage. Liberals can't accept the truth or reality, logic and reason elude them, they're hateful, spiteful, childish, and rude. A liberal mind is a terrible thing.
A liberal mind is a terrible thing ... Waste it.
Count me among them.
Thanks for the link !
Stay safe & Thanks for yer service to our country !!
Berg is following a sick liberal pattern of hating whoever is most accessible.
The hooded badguys who cut his son's head off are just a bit to scary for him to go after so screaming and campaigning against serious death or genicidal threats is just beyond this guy.
But playing politics and blaming Dubya is a safe call and allows him to vent without fear of retribution.
Welcome! It is a real pleasure to meet you and welcome your family to America as citizens, and also to this board, Free Republic. Have fun!
I am a big savage fan but this remark is slightly off base. Savage doesn't say "liberalism is a mental disease."
What he says is "extreme liberalism is a mental disorder." There is a difference - he suggests that only the most fringy, knee jerk, and extreme libs are ill. I tend to agree with him.
Michael Berg was at least culplablly negligent in his son's beheading. Michael Berg, the father, raised his son without the defense mechanisms that normal people have. He was raised to beleive in "we are the world" and "can't we all just get along". Lovely if your going to stay in Scarsdale.
As a naive Jew, he went to Iraq just after the overthrow of a violently anti-Semetic regime, and expected to be immediately accepted. He frequented a body building gym in a strongly Bathhist neighborhood.
He paid for his fathers lack of "world smarts" with his life.
If he had had the chance to read "Terrorist Hunter" by Rita Katz, an Iraqi Jew that escaped Iraq with her mother and siblings after her father was killed by Saddam's thugs, he might have saved his own life.
And, the rest are simply disoriented, unconnected with the facts of life, unrealistic, pipedreamers and unserious participants in the essential fabric of society - in a word, useless to themselves and others.....?
If you put it that way....I guess we agree.

Anti-war Americans apologise for Iraq

Among those sending pictures is Michael Berg, whose son Nicholas was executed after being seized in Iraq.
Apologies
"I am sorry and ashamed for the tremendous loss my government has caused the Iraqi people," Michael tells the Iraqis, betraying no grudge for his personal loss.
"I truly feel what the United States government has done to the once-sovereign nation of Iraq is atrocious and shameful," he said.
