Comments on: NY Rep Blasts Jackson As "Pervert"

Congressman Peter King Says Society Is "Glorifying" a "Low-Life"

[sean58z]

Peter King should be hospitalized and treated with psychiatric drugs. He does not need to insult Michael Jackson. Michael was loved by many people. Peter's head should be scanned for possible brain damage. Schizophrenia can be controlled with drugs and therapy. Peter suffers from the obvious symptom of tourette's syndrome.

Thats the price of stardom-The court of public opinion is what ya get.

"why would any parent allow their child to go to the Neverland Ranch if they thought he was a pedophile/child molester unless they wanted money to begin with?"

Did it occur to you that some were hoping for it to happen? Or just too stupid to think it couldn't happen? Jacko aint the only sick POS in this world.

Go back to sleep!

[hankvreeland]

I guess you are speaking of MJ.

[hankvreeland]

About time to throw some dirt on the carcass and get back to more important things such as "Is it going to rain tomorrow?"

Michael is no low life or pervert. He was found not guilty. Any parent that allows their child to stay in someone's house they don't trust or thinks they have molested a child has a problem. Each of the parents that allows their children to stay at Michael's house only wanted the money. Don't just blame Michael Jackson for this crime, the parents have to take some responsible as well. If they thought or knew he was guilty why did they take the money versus having him locked up. Think about that Mr. King before you call someone a low life. He who is without sin, let him cast the first stone. Think about that King. Leave Michael Jackson alone, he is dead. Think about all the money he has given to all the different charies and all the children who were allowed on his ranch for free. Think about that. King be quiet, talk what you know for a fact.

LOL- Uhh I'm white-If if was innocent till proven guilty I wouldn't have had to post bail EVERY time I got arrested. Its the other way around-guilty till proven guilty-even if you get found innocent-yer still guilty.Black,white,chinese-it don't matter.I agree with what Mr. King says-Got no facts to back it up-just my own opinion.

I agree, even Elvis was a drug addict. For some insane reason when it is a famous person who is abusing drugs, it is all A-OK, but if it is a regular person, it is jail time. If it is wrong for 1 it is wrong for all. You will get no arguement from me about Elvis, Anna Nichole, MJ or any other person who uses their fame to get away with something we would do jail time for.

I think most people are down the middle on the MJ issue. He was very talented, loved to watch him dance, loved his songs, but his behavior makes it impossible to completely exonerate him on at least the possiblility of child molestation. As Sharon Osborne said on her short-lived talk show, "If my old man started inviting 12 year old boys to sleep with him, he'd be thrown in jail so fast your head would spin." Ain't it the truth?

[culturechang]

Does he think saying this will help his political career? It wont. Appearently, he does not understand the concept of innocent until proven guilty. In two days, he will appologize.

I wonder how long will it be before Rep King is busted soliciting a prostitute or soliciting gay sex in a airport restroom? These high flying moralist always go down hard...no pun intended.

I don't think Jackson was so hot, or even could claim to be the 'King of Pop'. However, he didn't get convicted on the child molestation charges so I don't think he should be accused of it by us. God knows what Jackson did and didn't do, he doesn't need our help.

[udontnoitall]

Fred Astaire sent a message to MJ telling him what a great dancer he was after seeing him on stage once. I remember it being in the news. That's a pretty good stamp of approval I'd say.

[engymass2]

Elvis was a racist. He also made it a habit to perform in front of segregated crowds. MJ said, "it doesn't matter if your black or white" and broke it through for whites and blacks to listen to each others music. MJ did more for social reform than this Elvis AND this idiot combined. Elvis also was dating and having sex with a 14 yr old girl (Priscilla Presley)...(google it if you doubt). But he was never brought in front of a court of law.... I see a double standard. MJ had NEVER admitted to or was convicted of anything !!! .... My point... if people still celebrate Elvis after what he did and stood for... they CERTAINLY will continue to celebrate MJ !!! .... period....

[just1american]

No, this politician is not God. Mr. Obama has already claimed that title.

[just1american]

So is this why MJ tried so hard to be white?

[udontnoitall]

I see no bridge building either way.

What about Sanford!

He & Bill Clinton are organizing a nationwide tour of every state in a Winnebago. (Bill calls it the Wanna-bango) They are going to nail at least one chick in every state & Nevada too!! They're calling it "Bill & Mark's Excellent Adventure". They were going to go with "Bill & Mark's Cross Country Bootie Tour" (Spelled without the o in country) But the graphics were too costly.

[makemyday2day]

debinok1 - If you accuse MJ as a drug addict - what do you have to say about Elvis? (Also a drug addict, according to your statement). How quickly all you morons seem to forget!

How would he know, was he there and if so, why did he not come forth doing the trails.

When I go back to college and get a degree in psychology, I will propose a new mental disorder that I will call the 'John Lennon Syndrome.' Lennon had a distorted sexuality, would bring strange women home to sleep with in his bed - while his wife was in it too, had an Oedipal complex, and if you read his song lyrics you will find a thinly disguised hatred of women. His public behavior was bizarre to say the least. He really needed psychological help and should have and needed to be institutionalized.

People with the John Lennon Syndrome are all around us. Because of their intelligence, their accomplishments, or their success, their bizarre behaviors are dismissed as eccentric, interesting and harmless. Emotional problems are not recognized or acknowledged because someone that successful can't have some screws loose. Worse yet, if they are in the public eye, their behavior can actually lead to other not so secure individuals idolizing them or worse, copying their behavior - remember all the little pre-teen girls in the 1980's wearing one glove on their left hand because 'Michael Does It.'

The John Lennon Syndrome is not a particular mental illness - it just refers to any emotional or psychological problem that is not dealt with because of the success or position of the individual. Bill Clinton, with his sexual additions, also has it. The saddest part is that people with this syndrome end up not getting the help they need. Face it - if Michael jackson was not a rock star but was the guy next door, the whole neighborhood would know he was a wacko. And if his family was also not wacked out then somebody would have signed the papers for a forced commitment so that Michael could have been evaluated. Look at the cute kid that Michael was at age 12 and look at the downward progression in both his behavior and appearance over the years. Is there any doubt that medical intervention was needed that was denied and the end result was a tragic life and a tragic death?

This is the ultimate curse of the John Lennon Syndrome - the problem keeps getting worse, people don't recognize it or acknowledge it or worse, actually condone it and act like there's nothing wrong - further encouraging the downhill spiral. And even now in death, there are so many people pretending that Michael Jackson was something other than a severely emotionally disturbed man. This congressman had it right - he stated it in a crude manner that showed no compassion but if you listen to him he is really saying that Michael was sick, needed help, and that people were wrong for either ignoring or condoning his illness and going so far as to idolize and emulate him.

Michael needed help and didn't get it. Perhaps we all have the John Lennon Syndrome in some way, since there never was a universal outcry on the part of society to give this man the help he needed. To quote the title of a George Harrison song - 'Isn't It A Pity.'
