| Michael Jackson a perverted pedophile who could sing and dance: U.S. congressman
VANCOUVER - Cut the crap about Michael Jackson, a U.S. Congressman urges. He was a pervert and a pedophile and American cable news stations are making asses of themselves by making the pop superstar a warmed-over saint.
Save your wet hankies for soldiers fighting in Iraq and Afghanistan, Rep. Peter King fumes in a YouTube video.
"Let's knock out the psychobabble. This guy was a pervert, he was a child molester, he was a pedophile. And to be giving this much coverage to him, day in and day out, what does it say about us as a country?" said King, a congressman from New York, who doubtless would insist he's no relation to the King of Pop.
The hard-nosed politico has no truck with the weepy adulation flowing into Los Angeles from Jacko's global fan base. "There's nothing good about the guy," insists King, who claims the performer could dance okay, but diddled kids in his spare time.
"He may have been a good singer, he did some dancing. But bottom line is, would you let your child or grandchild be in the same room with Michael Jackson? What are we glorifying him for?"
Jackson was acquitted in 2005 of child molestation charges.
King, a Republican from Long Island, was talking to a group of American Legion vets when the video was made.
"He died, he had some talent, fine. There are people dying every day — there's men and women dying today in Afghanistan, let's give them the credit they deserve," he said.
The media's hagiographic coverage of Jackson is what really rankles King: "I really think the media has disgraced itself, I think that too many people in public life have made fools of themselves by talking about Michael Jackson as it he was some kind of hero."
The cult of celebrity around Jackson sucks big time with King. Better the media honour teachers in urban ghettos, AIDS activists, cops and firefighters, he railed.
It is highly unlikely King will attend Tuesday's memorial service for Jackson, whose remains will reportedly be buried in an L.A. cemetery later. http://www.vancouversun.com/news/Mic...205/story.html

What's with the China uprising title and the thread being about MJ? lol
Honestly, I hate people who take things for granted, that being said I never listened to any of his songs. Anyways, none of you guys talked about Jackson until he died, that alone says something. None of the radio stations I listen to played his songs or they rarely did. Once he dies, Virgin Radio plays his songs throughout the whole day? He WAS something special once upon a time, now let's move on. That's just my 2 cents.

Wasn't he in debt hundreds of millions of dollars, yet they had a gold-plated casket for him? I don't give a fuck that he died. I remember him as a singer who was accused of molesting children.  MJ, fucking pedophiles

And what's wrong with bashing MJ? He is a fucking pedophiles and a freak. Few years ago all the media and public were bashing at him during his trial. Now that he died, suddenly his sins are gone and he becomes all innocence?
And it is probably good for him that he died before he embarrasses himself on his money grabbing concert.

He was never convicted, which makes him innocent.
In fact, there was scant evidence even after they searched his home.
Just because someone is different doesn't give people the right to label them as something they're not based on no evidence whatsoever.

Was he convicted of any crime? No. His case was heard in one of the most Conservative County in California but yet people still go on about this nonsense. If any jury were to convict him, it would have been the jury at his trial.

Media was bashing him cause that's what they do. You rarely see them praise someone. And the public follows whatever the media does.
Oh and he wasn't convicted of anything, and one of the kids is coming out and admitting he lied.

Actually his former personal assistant, who was in the hotel room at the time, said MJ was not on drugs when he dangled his child, he said MJ was extremely excited to show his fans and world his newborn and got carried away.
I also find it funny when someome people who claimed MJ's bedroom at his Neverland Ranch was a crazy dungeon with secret rooms but when they showed his room on Larry King live the room looked like any other room. It's very easy make up shit about him but the deeper you dig into his life, you'll know he was surrounded by people who didn't give a shit about him, took advantage of him and only looked out for his money.

this is the footage he dangled his baby over a balcony...if you watch the rest of the video, it simply shows that he's just excited seeing his fans

^yeah, that!
people are just money hungry and they'll say anything to get money and dont give a shit about fucking up someones life. mj went through a ton of shit through his life. IMO he was abused so much as a child that all he wanted to do was be there for children.
hes one of the only celebrities that flew to afghanistan to thank the soldiers that were undergoing treatment at hospitals. half the time the paparazzi didnt knoew where he was. they later found out that he was flying to countries to fight against starvation/ hivs/ child abuse and give to hundreds of charities.
he wanted to leave a mark in our world and people branded him as a pedofile! hes just a guy who cared deeply about kids. i'm sure if anyone saw a kid in the mall crying with no parent around, someone would stop to see if everything was ok. if he was truely a pedofile, he would have been charged for it.. and he wasn't
I'm glad he can finally rest in piece and not have to listen to people call him a pedofile.
/end vent
