Yet... here he is...
The thing is... no matter what one feels about Michael Jackson... the
time of his death is the wrong time to bad-mouth him.
Republicans... some of the most stupid Americans walking the planet
today.

It is just not politically correct to mention that he was a homosexual
pedophile.
The question is not whether or not it is politically correct. The
question is what Rep. King was trying to accomplish - and what he did
accomplish - in making that statement at this particular time, just
after Jackson's death and just beofre his memorial service.
Why not say it while Jackson's still alive? (Fear of libel laws, maybe
- Jackson was acquitted, after all.) Why not say it in a month, after
his family has had some chance to grieve? (This is just kicking them
when they're down.)
If he had said something that attached some political or public import
to this, something that might get people to think - you know, like "I
am concerned that people are so swayed by the power of celebrity that
they let it overwhelm their commonsense judgment" - then at least
there would be a reason. But without that context he just sounds like
some angry guy ranting about a recently dead man who, for whatever
reasons, a lot of people really loved.
P.S. I am not suggesting for a moment that I think Jackson was
necessarily innocent of the charges. But if he was guilty, then he'll
never hurt another child. And he doesn't seem to have inspired a band
of imitative child molestors among his followers who need to be
dissuaded or dealt with. (That may be an issue when, say, a dictator
dies - you need to be worried about people following in their
footsteps, so it might be a time to make your opinion clear. But I
don't think that's an issue here.)
There's a time and a place for everything.
Luckily for you guys, King isn't representative of mainstream
Republicans (I would hope). I've seen him on talk TV (which I rarely
watch) and he is one *major* whack job, I wonder about the water supply
in his district.
That's beside the point. MJ may have been a pedophile but we don't
know that for sure. He was never successfully prosecuted. A
congressman should have respect for the due process of the law. For
this asshole to presume guilt is freaking stupid.
Bullshit. Feeling sorry for a dope addicted child molester is like
feeling sorry for Charles Manson if he dies.

Well, Missouri state senator Cynthia Davis thinks a program that
provides subsidized lunches to underprivileged schoolchildren shoulod
be ended because "hunger is a positive motivator." (She's pro-life,
but apprently just from conception to birth. After that you're on your
own.)
Gov. Sanford keeps giving national press conferences in which he
states his desire to reconcile with his wife, a goal he then pursues
by saying his Argentinian mistress is his "soulmate." He previously
stated that elected officials who commit adultery and lie about it
should step down but, when he is reminded of this, he refuses to
resign compares himself to Kng David of the Bible.
Gov. Palin suddenly resigns from her post 18 months early, because (a)
she wants to protect her family from invasive press scrutiny and (b)
she has a "higher calling" to lead the nation in conservative issues.
(How in the wolrd can she do both? If she wants to protect her family
from the press, going national is hardly the way.)
And so on....
So who exactly IS the "representative Republican"?

No one will feel sorry when you die. You'll lay alone and dead on the floor
of your rundown trailer until the neighbors or mailman notice the smell. The
county will pick you up where you'll lay on the slab unclaimed until you are
placed in a plain box and buried in a paupers grave. Forgotten and shunned
by normal society..
You don't get it. Michael Jackson has brothers and sisters and other
LIVING close relatives; I don't - other than one faraway aunt who's in
an assisted-living home. I don't have kids - unlike Michael Jackson.
My neighbors are elderly. And I'm not a celebrity - and thus don't
have a zillion adoring fans. There's thus just no comparison.
Michael Jackson's image was IMPROVED immensely by death. When he was
alive, Americans thought of him as the guy who'd been prosecuted for
child molestation and dangled a kid off a balcony, the plastic-surgery
junkie, etc.

Ah, for the days of Reagan. I always like the bit on the First Family
Rides Again comedy album about Reagan and abortion:
"In your opinion, Sir, at what point should a fetus be considered a
human being?"
"When it votes Republican."

Apparently, you have as much respect for the law and our legal system
as Rep. King.

Then explain why his 50 concert tour, for which he was rehearsing,
sold out in about an hour to the tune of nearly half-a-billion
dollars.

He would have sold out an American tour as fast or faster than his
European tour.

There is no "you". You are an anonymouse, lacking the backbone
necessary to have a legitimate identity. Odds are you're the real
pedophile.
And with you, there is no "we." :(
OK... if that's true... cite.
Should be easy to do.

Another reason Republicans always are stomped is because they are
duped by socialists.
Should the Republican Party be renamed the "Society of Christian
Socialists"? http://rexcurry.net/Bellamy.html
Most Republicans favor the Pledge of Allegiance, which was written by
Francis Bellamy, a member of the Society of Christian Socialists. See
the video documentary at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BssWWZ3XEe4
Bellamy wrote the pledge to promote socialism in the most socialistic
institution -government schools. http://rexcurry.net/pledge-allegiance-pledge-allegiance.jpg
When Republicans criticize the 9th Circuit Court of appeals,
Republicans don't call for ending government schools, instead
Republicans simply criticize the ruling against the phrase "under
God."
When the First Amendment establishment clause was written, the
government wasn't operating schools, and wasn't making students say
pledges with, or without, God. But that isn't part of any Republican
arguments.
Republicans don't call for ending government schools. Republicans want
students to say the pledge in the government schools, and they want
the phrase "under God" included.
Perhaps the name "Society of Christian Socialists" would fit
Republicans even better than Bellamy, since Republicans favor the more
religious version of Bellamy's pledge with the phrase "under God"
inserted in 1954. When the pledge was originally written, the
socialist Bellamy didn't want God used to endorse socialism and
government schools. Republicans are more socialistic than that today.
It's a good bet that if the present Republican Party policies were
compared with those of the Society of Christian Socialists in 1862, it
would be seen that the Republicans have adopted and surpassed the
socialism of the Society of Christian Socialists of 1862.
Should the Republican Party be renamed the "Society of Christian
Socialists"?
The Pledge of Allegiance http://rexcurry.net/pledge-allegiance-pledge-allegiance.jpg
shows how republicans are useful idiots and fools who have been duped
by socialists for over a century. http://rexcurry.net/Republicans.html
Socialists in the United States have a long history of duping
republicans. Pledge of Allegiance photographs show how socialists used
government schools (socialist schools) to impose segregation by law,
to teach racism as official policy, to indoctrinate students against
capitalism, and to stamp out individuality and freedom.
Socialism has a history of seducing and duping republicans.
http://rexcurry.net/commentary/Bellamy.html
The Pledge of Allegiance was written by the American socialist Francis
Bellamy, cousing and cohort to another infamous American socialist,
Edward Bellamy (author of the book Looking Backward). They wanted to
impose a heavy-handed method of brain-washing migrants and all
Americans into accepting their socialist dogma that they called
"Nationalism."
The government, through its schools, taught racism, segregation and
socialism for decades and it served as a bad example long before the
formation of the National Socialist German Workers' Party (NSGWP).
Government in the U.S. even continued the bad behavior (segregation
and racism) for decades after the NSGWP ended, and even into the
1960's. Thereafter, the legacy caused more police-state racism of
forced busing that destroyed communities and neighborhoods and
deepened hostilities. Government schools have never stopped teaching
socialism.
Francis Bellamy's Pledge of Allegiance (1892) was the origin of the
stiff-arm salute of the National Socialist German Workers' Party, as
shown in the work of the noted historian Dr. Rex Curry (author of
"Pledge of Allegiance Secrets"). People were persecuted for refusing
to give the straight arm salute to the national flag. That was the
national flag of the USA and of Germany. It happened at the same time
in the USA (to the stars and stripes) and in Germany (to the swastika
flag). http://rexcurry.net/book1a1contents-pledge.html
Edward Bellamy helped spread modern swastika symbolism as overlapping
S-letters for "socialism" adopted by the National Socialist German
Workers' Party.
http://rexcurry.net/swastika3clear.jpg
In 1888, Edward Bellamy's National Socialism movement teamed up with
Madame Blavatsky's Theosophical Society to mutually promote their
socialist dogma. The Theosophical Society had used the swastika as S-
letters for "socialism" as early as 1875.
http://rexcurry.net/theosophy-madame-blavatsky-theosophical-society.html
All of the above shows how close the USA came (and is still coming) to
the socialist Wholecaust (of which the Holocaust was a part): the
Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (65 million dead); the Peoples'
Republic of China (49 million dead); the National Socialist German
Workers' Party (21 million dead).
Even today, some people still love the socialist's Pledge Of
Allegiance and claim that it should not be recited in Spanish. They
are correct that the Pledge should not be recited in Spanish, because
the Pledge should be recited only in German, Russian, or Chinese.
I'm trying to be charitable here. Cut me some slack.

Jeez... you have left the planet Earth...
1) Who has MJ had killed?
2) What was MJ convicted of?
3) Cite the autopsy that confirms him being a "dope addict".
Don't get it twisted... I'm not saying that MJ was NOT a pedophile or
drug addict. I'm just saying that the former was NEVER proven and the
latter has yet to come out.
Try not to be one of the "leftist nutjobs who believes that GWBush had
something to do with 9/11 - a 9/11 truther moron"... in reverse.
OBTW... the time of MJ's death is NOT THE TIME to bad-mouth him.
Esp... from a white Republican.
