Cindy Sheehan and Michael Berg

Michael Berg is challenging Cindy Sheehan for the title of "Nuttiest Person on the Planet." She has endorsed him in his run for Congress as the Green party candidate and now he's stabbing her in the back. He hopes to represent Wilmington, Delaware. He moved there because of his deep roots in the community and undying love for the people. Actually, that's a total crock. I was making a joke. In truth, he moved there for the same reason that Hillary Clinton moved to New York...because he had attained a certain level of celebrity and thought he could get elected there. Cold, cynical calculation was the motivator. He wanted power so he could enforce his agenda on America.

Michael Berg has spent most of his life protesting whichever war America was fighting at the moment. He's a former high school teacher, which certainly qualifies him to be a Congressman (not).

Like Cindy, he was always a liberal. Like Cindy, his celebrity status was created when his son was killed in Iraq. Ironically, his son, Nick was beheaded by terrorist leader Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, exactly two years and one day before two American 500-pound bombs helped al-Zarqawi assume room-temperature.

Less than a month after his son's brutal murder, Berg told ABC's Good Morning America, "I would like these people to be stopped. I would like them to be arrested. I would like them to receive justice. I would not want to see any of them killed." source Hey, Stupid! The violence only stops when we KILL them! Get it? Crap, this guy IS as brain-dead as Crazy Cindy.

When asked to comment on al-Zarqawi's demise, Berg responded with an eerily Sheehan-style rant about how President Bush had killed hundreds of thousands of people in Iraq and al-Zarqawi hadn't. He went on to say, "George Bush is the one that destabilized it (Iraq) so that Zarqawi could get in, so that Zarqawi had a need toget in, to defend his region of the country from American invaders."

Like Crazy Cindy, Berg even blames President Bush for his son's death, "Yeah, like George Bush didn't OK the torture and death and rape of people in the Abu Ghraib prison for which my son was killed in retaliation?" source

Al Zarqawi's organization claimed responsibility for Nick Berg's murder in May, 2004. The video was released with the caption: "Abu Musab al-Zarqawi slaughtering an American" and the CIA said Al Zarqawi was probably the one wielding the knife, but Berg says he's not convinced. Like Cindy, he says "I have been lied to by my own government." His comment on hearing that al-Zarqawi's ticket had been punched... "I have no sense of relief, just sadness that another human being had to die."

Michael Berg is, in my considered opinion, either insane or a traitor. He says things that make no sense. On June 8, 2006, Berg was interviewed on CNN (some of us used to call it the Clinton News Network because of its obvious bias) by Soledad O'Brien. CNN did not repeat Berg's most bizarre comments in later re-broadcasts. These were softball questions asked in a safe, welcoming environment and Berg spoke his mind freely.

Berg:
"Democracy? Come on. You can't really believe that that's a democracy there when the people who are running the elections are holding guns. That's not democracy."

Wrong, Mr. Berg. In every Democracy on the planet, the sitting government runs the elections. In every Democracy on the planet, the government, the people running the elections, have guns. Normally, these governments don't have to put armed guards at polling places, but in Iraq, there are people who would use violence to stop the elections from taking place. Without those armed guards, posted there to protect the people exercizing their right to vote, there would be no election. What you have said doesn't make sense.

Berg:
"Well, you know, I'm not saying Saddam Hussein was a good man, but he's no worse than George Bush. Saddam Hussein didn't pull the trigger, didn't commit the rapes. Neither did George Bush, but both men are responsible for them under their reigns of terror. I don't buy that."

I'll go slowly here, Mr. Berg, so you'll have a chance to follow me. First: Saddam Hussien ordered the deaths of hundreds of thousands of Iraqis. When know that because we found the mass graves and we're pretty damn sure that they all didn't die in car accidents. Second: Sometimes Saddam Hussien watched while people were killed and on occasion he even pulled the trigger himself. We know this because we have heard it from eyewitnesses. He did, personally, rape young girls. We know this because we have heard it from the girls themselves and from their families. You twist history to fit your own sick view of the world and then describe your delusions to others as though you were speaking facts.

Berg:
"I don't get it. Why is it better to have George Bush be the king of Iraq rather than Saddam Hussein?"

You poor, pathetic, deluded twit. President Bush has never said he wanted to be "King" of Iraq. There is no evidence, anywhere, to suggest that this is something he wants. Even Saddam Hussien did not call himself King. I won't deign to answer your moronic question. Instead I'll refer you to the Iraqi people. Your son, Nick, had the guts to go to Iraq. Instead of running for Congress, why don't you grow a pair and go to Iraq yourself and ask the people there what THEY think.

Watch your back, Cindy. He wants your job!
