Video Gate!
The net is buzzing with information about the Nick Berg video being a fraud. However, it is being ignored not only by the mainstream corporate media, but the so-called alternative media. Why? The only thing keeping this scandal alive is Nick Bergs father. I wonder if he has seen the evidence of the fakery of the video? I’m hoping the media will catch on. Or will they just dismiss this as paranoiac illusions from the left wing fringe. If you haven’t heard about the overwhelming evidence from well-respected researchers that everything on that video clip was just staged. The individuals behind this conspiracy are depending on America’s collective attention deficit disorder. It will be forgotten in a week. Fortunately, the video was supposed to instigate pro-war fever. It failed. Most Americans couldn’t care less what happens to a Jew, even if he is an American. Also this video was supposed to offset the Abu Ghraib prison scandal. It didn’t help one bit. Everybody is getting sick of this phony war on terrorism. I’ll bet the right wing misses the war against communism. That was more convincing. How many of you’re household products are made in Red China? The Neo-Cons have been excessively performing one conspiracy after another. What’s it going to take? Another 30000 dead?

Red China is trollspeak. So is PC.

6. Are "most Americans" even aware he was Jewish?
Do they care whether he was or not?

"Most Americans couldn’t care less what happens to a Jew, even if he is an American."

You might try to hide some of your hate a little better than this.

8. eh?
>However, it is being ignored not only by the mainstream corporate
>media, but the so-called alternative media. Why?

Because it's a bunch of unsubstantiated nonsense.

>The only thing keeping this scandal alive is Nick Bergs father.

Yes, and that's being reported on extensively in the mainstream and alternative press.

>I wonder if he has seen the evidence of the fakery of the video?

Are you guys still claiming that he wouldn't recognize his own son?

>I’m hoping the media will catch on. Or will they just dismiss this
>as paranoiac illusions from the left wing fringe.

I'm tired of these people associating themselves with left-leaning politics in general. This has about as much to do with liberalism as conservatism has to do with those pricks who think Clinton murdered Vince Foster.

>The individuals behind this conspiracy are depending on America’s
>collective attention deficit disorder.

Perhaps Americans have evaluated what you're saying and decided that it's nonsense.

>The individuals behind this conspiracy are depending on America’s
>collective attention deficit disorder. It will be forgotten in a
>week.

You're contradicting yourself. I thought this was supposed to stand for all time as a testament to the reason we went to war on terrah.

>Most Americans couldn’t care less what happens to a Jew, even if he
>is an American.

Huh?!?

>I’ll bet the right wing misses the war against communism.

Actually, the damned idiots still think it's going on.

>How many of you’re household products are made in Red China?

You seem to be wandering...

11. A blip
The Berg beheading was a blip on the ADD screen. Bushco and a few
Right Wingers used it but it didn't make the torture in US prisons abroad disappear. It goes down the memory hole.

Next?

12. Right.
And citing voz de aztlan as a source would be considered open-minded, right?

13. 'Because it's a bunch of unsubstantiated nonsense.'
Sort of like the utterly fantastic idea that the masked Zarqawi bogeyman did it.

Right?
