>>Robert Berg, 49, of Dexter was arrested Sunday along with co-defendants Malcolm French, 50, of Enfield

An item on the bergsportswear.com site mentions him:
>>Daisy Cutter U. From Howie Carr, 2001. This is the very 1st shirt done for The Howie Carr Show. The shirt was done to squelch the persistence of a very close friend, Malcolm French, who insisted that Howie need something to go along with the topic of the popular ?Daisy Cutter? bomb that everybody wanted to drop on Iraq.

Howie was forced to mention the story yesterday when a caller pretending to be a stonner from Maine said he had been looking for Berg for a few days because he needed some supplies. He wanted to know if Howie knew where he was. Howie said Berg made bail yesterday. Howie called Berg "a friend" called the charges "just allegations" Howie added to the stories posted here yesterday by adding that the ring was allegedly keeping illegal aliens on the pot farm to harvest the plants.

I can only imagine what Howie the Hypocrite would have said if the guy made T-Shirts for Democrats.
 
When Berg's shop was shut down first a couple yrs back he said he wasn't sure why, then I think the allegations about illegal aliens came out and it was "Berg denies it's true" (at the same time there were busts of restaurants, etc, employing illegal aliens...such as one in Portland not far from the Motel 6 where I stayed one weekend). Now the pot farm was discovered in '09 and it's only now that the arrests are coming ("Township 37" is apparently way up there near Lubec and Machias). You got him doing shirts with unauthorized pro team logos, plus the pot growing, and also using illegal
aliens. And since some of the shirts poked fun at Uncle Omar & Auntie Zeituni and other illegal
(oops, they got permission to stay) aliens, it does seem a bit hypocritical! I only heard parts of
yesterday's show and didn't hear any reference.

As Berg's site says it all started when a friend (who also has been arrested) suggested something related to the daisy cutter bombs they were thinking of using in the Middle East--he printed up some shirts and gave them to Howie and later began selling items. (One shirt now discontinued
read "Scott Brown for President"/"I Like Scott". Berg sold caps saying "Brown 41" referring to the "41st vote against Obamacare"...and I have one. It was a gift from a co-worker.

And yes the fact that illegal aliens are involved (see above, T shirts) is embarrassing for Howie and charges of hypocrisy fly. Howie does indeed call him a friend as said above, and there is that pic. BlueMassGroup will probably have fun with this (remember the poster who calls himself ErnieBochIII?)
