No one deserves to die simply because they are incredibly opinionated.  He may have been extreme but Alan Berg was an incredibly smart guy.

He was killed as an example to others who might be tempted to broadcast opinions not considered politically correct by the extreme right.

  UPDATE:

Apparently, the authorities didn't believe Berg's character defects diminished the importance of an assassination of an outspoken radio personality, 'cause they came down on the perpetrators like a ton of bricks.

Berg was murdered by neo Nazis...a group some morons confuse with "right wingers".

I think it hurt the cause of the perpetrators enough to make a high rating of this item unrealistic. UPDATE: Being realistic, Fit, the man was an annoying shock jock who annoyed some people that I didn't mind him annoying. He hardly deserved to be sprayed with a Mac-10 out of nowhere in his driveway, but I think you might be overstating the significance of this event based on the damage it did to the white supremacist movenment that the chicken hearted assassins belonged to, and you shouldn't imply some kind of blanket guilt to this "extreme right" that you described in your review.

Berg was an abrasive radio talk show host in Denver Colorado. He was fond of berating callers and was once suspended from the air for bullying the Colorado Secretary of State.

Berg was shot in the driveway of his home by members of a white supremacist group called The Order, who objected to what they regarded as his anti-white, pro-Zionist opinions.  His death was the result of actions by isolated fanatics, and despite some opinions to the contrary, his radio persona was based around increasing ratings and profits, rather than deeply held beliefs.
