Free Repuibic is now aaware of their role in ZNick Bergs death
I say that we give them a taste of their own medicine, I see disguisting accusations thrown around regarding Kerrt. I say we we krrp posting Finstun Dune's expose of FR as much as possible

The community has to be made aware of the possible threat that FReReBublic poses tp por constituiona;l rightrs. I am putting thisd for lurking freepers

To those Freepers---thenks for gettinh Nick ser, you weazels. Stop with the sanctimony about the death Doug From Upland--have you been able yo waash lately? C'mon and lurk. smell my nutsd

ON-Line Counteroffensive against Freerepub;ic/DU V FR
Greco-Roman debate
we hagve to set im highh



It began: 'Here you are, FReepers. Here is the enemy.'

"The list had been copied from publicly available endorsements of a call to action for an imminent anniversary antiwar protest on 20th March, 2004. The protest was being organized under the banner of the A.N.S.W.E.R Coalition (Act Now to Stop War & End Racism).

"Among those listed as having endorsed the call to action was this entry: 'Michael S. Berg, Teacher, Prometheus Methods Tower Service, Inc.'"

The nutcase proceeds to make his case that Freepers are very dedicated and some alerted military officials about military/security personnel listed. Nutcase proceeds:

"If that list could end up on an Internet forum, then it could just as readily end up with the FBI, and eventually in the hands of those in Iraq who are keen to track or harass antiwar activists entering the country."

Snip

"Yet, within two weeks of the list being posted, Nick Berg --back in Iraq on his final fatal trip-- was reportedly detained in Mosul at an Iraqi police checkpoint. The official explanation is that authorities thought his identification might have been forged and were checking his authenticity.

"But a more likely reason is that by then authorities in Iraq had discovered that a 'Berg' of Prometheus Methods Tower Service was in the country, and issued a detention instruction to Iraqi police because they misidentified Nick Berg as an antiwar activist entering Iraq to work for the 'enemy'.

"That could explain why he was held incommunicado for 13 days, without recourse to a lawyer; why US officialdom was singularly unheeding of his mother's pleas; why the FBI visited his family to question them; why it took a US court order secured by the family to pressure his release."

The nutcase then adopts Berg's father's line that the delay resulted in Berg's death.

Thus, Freepers, by posting Berg's father's communist affiliations and possibly contacting authorities led to Berg's death.

1. I don't understand
Where did the list originate? Who was first to post it? You're saying FR posted it BEFORE Berg's death and someone likely sent it to the FBI/CIA? But WHY would anyone do that before the news of his death?

15. You know, there is a spell-check function when you post...
It's very easy to use. As it is, your post looks like it was written by Sylvester the cat. Very distracting.

10. Start saving up. BUT, do you win if Cheney croaks?
Because I don't know how much longer his ticker can hold out. He's at the end of the life expectancy of that bypass.

But barring ill health, he is going to stick around. He has to! How else does he have any chance of staying out of jail? He has to stay in office in order to keep his crimes covered up!
