| Blogger Interviews Michael Berg |
| 2004-06-07 |
| Bill of INDC Journal has a brief and unsatisfactory interview with Michael Berg, Nick Bergâs father, at an ANSWER rally in DC. On Saturday I attended International ANSWERâs latest "EMERGENCY MOBILIZATION" to protest the Bush administrationâs "criminal wars, occupations, torture and assault." According the flyer, thousands of protestors would "Speak Truth to Power" in a march from the White House to Donald Rumsfeldâs front lawn. The highlight of the event was to be a celebrity speech by Michael Berg, the father of terror victim Nick Berg. Given Mr. Bergâs recent rhetoric espousing what he regards as the Bush administrationâs culpability in his sonâs death, I saw the rally as a good opportunity to ask him a few questions. Michael Berg: "... I donât think that my sonâs murder was solved, if you know what Iâm saying ..." Much much more. Photos too. |

| #5 Fuck the son-of-a-bitch. Someone needs to whip his little candy ass. Fuckin' punk! What a mealy-mouthed opportunistic parasite he is. Nick Berg IS ashamed of this idiot. |

| #4 I didn't know Berg was a member of the Socialist Workers Party. They are seriously whacky Lefties. Trotskyite I believe. Even the Communists think these people are out to lunch. The Berg story gets stranger and stranger. |

| #3 After that answer, Mr. Berg stopped taking questions, but another man insistently asked him, âIs it possible to get your contact information, to follow up?â Michael Berg: "Who are you?" Socialist Workers Party Reporter: "Iâm with the Socialist Workers newspaper." Michael Berg: "Socialist Workers newspaper? (Enthusiastically) Oh, yeah , oh yeah, oh yeah ⦠(gives info) my e-mail is the best way to contact, because my wife probably will slam down the phone on just about anyone who calls; sheâs still in a very emotional state. My son was a member of the Socialist Workers Party, yes he was, my son David, not my son Nick, my older son David. I supported his efforts working with the Socialist Workers Party, and I went with him to the headquarters in NY and I attended the rallies and I supported his trips to Cuba and ⦠I donât really want to say (gestures to me) because heâs (got a tape recorder)." He's pretty RED in my book, and what you can expect to hear from him is pretty obvious pro-commie bullshit. |

| #2 This article merely confirmed my suspicions that Leftism is primary a mental health issue, not a political issue. Michael Berg's problem is obvious. |

| #1 This guy (and I dont mean to insult guys out there) is, by his own admission, an active member of the Socialist Workers Party who is using his son's death to advance his socialist cause -- a cause his dead son disagreed with. Truely sick! |
