MEDIA WHORE DRUDGE POSTED THE BERG PHOTOS AT HIS SITE
It was only a matter of time until this bottom feeder posted pictures to gain more traffic and attention for his "news" site. I have e-mailed Sludge on several occassions reminding him he isn't really a journalist but a hack who does nothing else but link to real journalist's stories. I wonder how he would feel if members of his family had been executed and photos were posted on a website to attract traffic and attention. He's finally revealed himself for the totally sensationalistic bastard that he is, and it sickens me that this creature is such a celebrity. More proof that no talent monsters are born of hype friends in the right places (I believe that vulture Lucianne Goldberg helped him gain the limelight with his "reporting" (read: LEAKING) of the international security threatening Clinton blowjobs).

Freedom of the press is one thing. Displaying grotesque photos without any sensitivity to this poor soul's family members is another. Drudge. Limbaugh. The rest of the Neo Con Cabal. WHEN WILL IT ALL END??????????

1. no one put a gun to your head to read his site
try rawstory.com or any of a million other sources. Drudge is an ass so its better if we don't pay him any attention.

8. Yeah
They scrape his site every 2 minutes 24/7. Gives you the ability to see what the little prick's up to, without rewarding him with hits/ad revenue.

3. at this point
don't you think we could not be the ones calling up media outlets asking them to keep things under wraps. That's a pretty damn Republican thing to do. Its always the sensitive RW'ers calling for censorship.

4. Not defending Drudge, but...
They are all over DU, and the discussions here have been much less than sensitive to the Berg family, not that any of them read DU, but one never knows.

What is the difference in Drudge putting them up on his website and DUers posting them and the link to the video here?

(I hate Matt Drudge and all that he stands for, BUT I don't see why it's any different for him to post them there and for us to post them here and even discuss such titilating details as to how much blood there was---as far as your argument that he should consider the Berg family.)

Putting on flame suit, but some of the gory details discussed here are disturbing.

9. The pictures
are out there. In order to see them, one must go rooting around to find them - they don't just pop up in your face.

And that's as it should be.

But I see no reason to blame Drudge for this.

10. You know I just watched the video
not for curiosity, but to bear witness

Two points about this

If you do not need or want to bear witness do not

The whirlwind that WE have unleashed is just starting... I am sorry to say this but this is just the begining and this kid will probably be among the first to die in such a way.

Here is a warm fuzzy for you... stay in the US, traveling abroad will be impossible now... not with an American passport, what you see there is the unrelenting hate...

And yes those who did this are no better than animals, and should, never happen, be prosecuted for their crimes... which incidentally go against Islam as well...

Oh and one final point

This is NOT more or less graphic than the worst photos of the camps in WW II, or for that matter Serbia. This is the darkest recess of the human condition... if you do not recoil in horror then you are not alive

But do not show this to young children though.

Even though I am a spic(wetback to many freepers), I know that I will 'kick it' in Cali for the summer.

May you all have a nice summer. :-)

12. I just wonder why...
The Iraqi abuse photos were covered up by the media for a month, but the photos of Berg get plastered everywhere immedeately. The double standard makes it obvious how conservative the media is right now.

14. If a photo of Americans beheading an Iraqi prisoner appeared on a website
It would get the same fucking treatment, and no mistake.

Don't make nonsenses.
