Michael Berg, Leftist Father of Terror Victim Nick Berg, Running for Congress

The News Journal of Delaware reported today that Michael Berg, father of terror victim Nick Berg, is running for Congress from his new home in Delaware.

Nick Berg was a civilian who went to Iraq several times seeking to help the Iraqi people by rebuilding radio towers. He was kidnapped by terrorists and beheaded, reportedly by Al Qaeda in Iraq leader Al Zarqawi.

Berg briefly became a darling of the Bush-hating media when television news showed him collapsing in his front yard in West Chester, Pennsylvania when he was told by members of the press that a videotape of his son's beheading had been released by the terrorists.

Berg fell out of favor with the media when he was exposed as an activist with the communist front group International ANSWER--a group that supports terrorists.

The Berg family moved to Wilmington, Delaware this year.

Berg says he will run for the seat held by Republican Michael Castle, a former governor of the state. He will be running as a member of the leftist Green Party and will campaign by riding his bicycle throughout the state.

The News Journal also reports that Berg is seeing a therapist weekly--and that Berg says the FBI has agreed to pay a substantial part of his bills through their victim's assistance program.

Berg protests against the war every week on a street corner in Wilmington with a small group of leftists. He was recently arrested at a shopping mall while participating in a "Buy Nothing Day" protest.

"She better hope she gets more voters than she had fans."

Big difference. With her book she was saying, "Here's a book, give me your money." Running for Congress, she can say, "I'm a candidate who will give you money."

In the SF Bay Area where Sheehan hails from, that's 90% of a winning candidacy.

Oh you are soooo right - both coasts are filled with those kind of "voters". Fortunately the flyover country is a little less LIBERAL and tend to take responsibility for their own actions and outcomes.

I will be very interested to follow this "race" although I wonder if between sessions if he has inquired about residency requirements to run for Congress in Del.

What a complete loon. The only reason I can think of for him doing this is that he's jealous of Cindy Sheehan.

It seems clear now why their children ran to Iraq. I would have, too.

Just another Lee Harvey Oswald waiting for the right moment and opportunity.

"If she really did run for Congress, there are millions of idjits out there that would welcome her with open arms."

Like most at the "signing" I doubt many would actually show up to vote for her. Voter turnout among moonbats is low.

Oh man, we need to go after this sorry sack fast and hard; without mercy. He is an embarassment to the country. How could a father be more loathsome than to adovate for the men who beheaded his son! But then, some parents really do hate their own kids.

I pray for Bush everyday because I know they are out there and their hate gets stronger as time marches on and he is still in office, much to their dismay after all the "tricks" have not worked.

He's got an hour of radio time being interviewed on Michael Medved right now (station links inside this thread):

I read about this guy in USA Today. The nutjob said that he had no comfort knowing that al-Zarqawi, who is believed to be one of the guys in the video beheading his son, was dead.

In fact, he said that George W. Bush was more of a terrorist than the fundamentalist towelhead who cut off his son's head.

This guy has a mental disorder. There is no other way to explain him.

Hopoe the RATS pour all their money into this turd.
