He Hated Bush More...
Whatever I can do to humiliate, insult, obstruct or hurt terrorists, Al Qeada, their leadership, followers or
sympathisers, hey, I'm your man. I would do it in heart beat, so would 99% of the people that post here!
That's why I almost puked when Nick Berg's father Michael, now a Green Party candidate for Congress, said he was more upset at Bush than Al Zarkawi, the guy that beheaded his own son!!!! Mr. Berg added, he really didn't know if Al Zarkawi even did it (note to Mr. Berg: It was on video around the world and Zarkawi is holding the knife sawing your kid's head off for Al Jazeera news) and he really didn't know if Al Zarkawi, killer of women and children, was all that bad? The guy who goes around beheading, bombing and shooting people? He is unsure if he was really a bad guy... Berg explains, maybe Zarkawi was pushed into doing bad things by us evil Americans. See its our fault (you knew that was coming) or that we are equally guilty, yada yada, the tired old "moral equivalency" dodge liberals love to use...
May 14th, on The Glenn Beck Program, Beck called Michael Berg "despicable" and "a scumbag".
Beck said he didn't get any more complaints than usual about his comments, and he had no second thoughts about what he said. He added that, as time passes, 'I think public opinion will grow closer and closer to mine.'" Well, it sure has and Berg has been exposed for the fool that he is, let me be among the first to congratulate Glen Beck for what he said. Right on Glen!
Michael Berg has been an outspoken, anti-war opponent since his son's death and regulary makes vile anti-American statements that would even give Michael Moore a "cringe" moment.
In an interview today, Berg said:
MICHAEL BERG: Well, my reaction is I'm sorry whenever any human being dies. Zarqawi is a human being. He has a family who are reacting just as my family reacted when Nick was killed, and I feel bad for that.
O'BRIEN: I have to say, sir, I'm surprised. I know how devastated you and your family were, frankly, when Nick was killed in such a horrible, and brutal and public way.
BERG: Well, you shouldn't be surprised, because I have never indicated anything but forgiveness and peace in any interview on the air.
O'BRIEN: No, no. And we have spoken before, and I'm well aware of that. But at some point, one would think, is there a moment when you say, 'I'm glad he's dead, the man who killed my son'?
BERG: No. How can a human being be glad that another human being is dead?
O'BRIEN: There have been family members who have weighed in, victims, who've said that they don't think he's a martyr in heaven, that they think, frankly, he went straight to hell ...
You know, you talked about the fact that he's become a political figure. Are you concerned that he becomes a martyr and a hero and, in fact, invigorates the insurgency in Iraq?
BERG: Of course. When Nick was killed, I felt that I had nothing left to lose. I'm a pacifist, so I wasn't going out murdering people. But I am -- was not a risk-taking person, and yet now I've done things that have endangered me tremendously.
I've been shot at. I've been showed horrible pictures. I've been called all kinds of names and threatened by all kinds of people, and yet I feel that I have nothing left to lose, so I do those things.
Now, take someone who in 1991, who maybe had their family killed by an American bomb, their support system whisked away from them, someone who, instead of being 59, as I was when Nick died, was 5-years-old or 10-years-old. And then if I were that person, might I not learn how to fly a plane into a building or ....
STOP IT! I CAN"T TAKE IT ANYMORE, ENOUGH OF THIS IDIOT....
Berg is living in la la land. Once again, like is so typical of liberal wingnuts, he is assigning all sorts of moral justifications for terrorists, without once addressing the possibility they are doing it because of religion! The majority of Muslim zealots are driven to hate and kill over their religious beliefs and everything else is just a distant second! There is NO evidence to support that even one of the 9-11 terrorists did that vile act because their family was blown up by an American bomb in war or anywhere. Where does Berg get this garbage?
Fact is, most of the people who flew the hijacked planes on 9-11 were from rich Saudi families. They grew up in privilaged lives, far from war, but they had one thing in common, they were indoctrinated at an early age in a radical Wahabi Religious School that taught them to HATE and to KILL BECAUSE THEY ARE DOING ALLAH'S WILL! But, noooo, you don't hear that coming out of Mr. Pacifists mouth do you? This confused man is still wringing his hands trying to decide if the monster that sawed his son's head off, is really a bad guy? He doesn't have the slight clue what a lowlife Jordanian thug Al Zarawi was before he jumped on the terrorist bandwagon.
Unlike Mr. Berg, I still have some shred of common sense left and I realize we can't sit down and reason with Muslim fanatics while they are killing innocent people left and right. Those monsters are determined to murder you, me or Mr. Self-righteous, just like they slaughtered his innocent, non-military, pacifist son and there is no confusion about that on my part! I get it! But, the pathetic part is, this moron doesn't get it and he is running for office. Worse, there are literally tens of thousands, nay, hundreds of thousands of people just as screwed up and nutty as he is all over America. Berg is dispicable.

Berg also said that revenge killed his son and forgiveness was a better response. i'm all for forgiveness. It is a blessing when an individual can find it in his heart to forgive. But, forgiveness is not the responsibility, assignment, or duty of government and the armed forces. It is their sworn duty to defend the people of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic.
Mr. Berg also said a better response would be to negotiate with terrorists to discover what they are upset about. (I know, I know, we've all done giggling floor time over this one.) Is this denial?...or is this poor fool just responding fearfully to the horror that was his son's death? We'll never know what's in his heart, but we can use this to illustrate the ongoing pattern of the "hate America" crowd.
Morally equivalent explanations are offered as expressions of higher consciousness or a more compassionate space of being for these types. They come across as flat, self-serving screeds in my ears that are intellectually generic, abstract and lacking in practical use. The need to do this springs from the notion that there is no right and wrong, only "experience". which is a seminar response that can be useful for self examination but is useless when confronting a determined killer. In this case, Mr. Berg's emotions are made up of controlled anger and disgust tainted with huge splashes of superiority. This he directs toward the defenders of his freedom, his rights, and the tragedy of his son's death. So good for Mr. Berg, he has accomplished his goal of assuming the superior path. Somehow I sense he's just a shallow intellectual actor creating a world where he can play the observer, completely outside the action, detached and totally exonerated. In this fake world, designed without right and wrong, he can feel safe...it may be the only satisfaction available to him.

Tina, you're right, this guy is disturbed. It's kind of scarey when you stop to think about all that mental illness on the far left...the left is like a huge magnet for people with mental problems.
I would be interesting to know how psychiatrists would classified Berg, given his strange denial patterns and displaced anger.
