If you are really so sure he was guilty of molesting young boys, you really owe it to yourself to read the story published in 1994 at:

Perhaps it will open your eyes to what was really going on.

A farce ? I thought the memorial service at the Stables center was a class act and beautifully done. It honored both MJ's amazing career and his talents, as well as his humanitarian work and dedication to his family, both the family he came from and the family he created with his 3 children. Well done and very moving.

These Pro-Jackson comments represent another sad example of the kind of enabling and excuse-making that led to Mr. Jackson?s unfortunate and early demise. In record time it seems Mr. Jackson?s death takes on a bitter racial tone, and with the likes of Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson bizarrely in the mix, you can rest assured the mainstream media will not escape their race-baiting rebuke.

As is customary today, we do not blame the performer himself but instead blame his doctors, his handlers, his record producers, his record company, scores of others, and failing that, a ?racist American media? bent on destroying Mr. Jackson and teaching him a lesson. Shall we blame his errant fascination with sleeping with young boys on his autoimmune disease? Was it because of his vitiligo that he so dramatically altered his face to the likeness of Elizabeth Taylor and appeared almost ghost ?white??

Michael Jackson?s problems were because of Michael Jackson. No longer were there any constraints to and limits on his darkest passions, and he was free to explore them with utter abandon. With that kind of fame, power and wealth he could do whatever he wanted, forever cocooned from responsibility with his clever team of attorneys who helped drain him of his billion-dollar fortune. He was drug-addicted and was warned by family and friends to seek help. In the end, though, Mr. Jackson refused to believe he had a problem, just as he refused to believe there was anything wrong with his proudly-professed interest in young boys. These facts, and many others like them, were not created and widely circulated by a malicious media but were created by a man who was taught from an early age to buy his way out of scandals and embarrassments, all in hopes of protecting his precious legacy as a legendary performer, which by all accounts (including my own) he was.
Michael Jackson will forever be remembered as a gifted artist and performer. But, in the same breath, there will be the many whispers of doubt in a man whose mighty musical career was beset by scand al and shame, and all of it by Michael Jackson?s own famously sequined hand.

Whoa! You spent alot of time on that comment and I'm sure it was what was in your heart. But it would be a whole lot easier to read if you wouldn't have put it in all capital letters and if you'd use correct punctuation. Too hard to read the way it is.

Don't you folks understand? MJ was the one who was racist...he didn't want to be black, so he did something about it. He became white. He was a freak!!! Great musician...but a freak, nonetheless. For once Nancy Pelosi did something right in refusing a resolution regarding MJ.

1. Normally, the cops go after the drug pusher to get the drugs off the streets. It should be done in this case also - even if it means getting "clean" medical people off the rich streets.
2. NO ONE considers Michael a hero. MANY consider him a great talent, great humanitarian and many other wonderful titles.
3. If you can prove he is a child molester, please bring the victims forward.

"Doctor: Michael Jackson Was an Addict"

No surprise here. Most people are addicted to something. Drugs and entertainers are inevitable.

Diane diamond is a blood suckin vulture who sat on michael jackson's shoulder and devoured him for her own selfishness. I will continually hound her and tell her what I think she is just like how she did to MJ and see how she likes it. I will presume, listen to gossip, make up lies and say I believe, she is a old has been with nothing good to say but bile.

Are all white people insane? You give birth to a baby and shove it in a huge cold cot in a room all by itself and you got a nerve to talk ill about michael jackson. Where is the concern, caring, love that parents ought to provide just like who MJ was. He is a good man and sits on the right hand of God! Bullies like to pick and the quiet, meet and soft people because they wont fight back but take as much as they can before they hurt themselves. Shame on all you evil people who talk ill about him may you suffer as had.

Bless you. I agree with you completely. And I'm white. My beautiful son very recently died of a drug overdose. The bullies will not be seeing my son or Michael Jackson in the afterlife .. unless, that is, they choose now to learn exactly what their contribution to the suffering of this world is .. and learn to be kind. RIP Ben and Michael.

I just don't think that we can judge Michael too harshly. I was and I am a fan and I understand he had problems. But like most people, he had demons he could not fight alone. Unfortunately, he surrounded himself with all the wrong people. And yes the doctors should be blamed. they make the choice to give prescriptions in what is more than likely an illegal manner. They are responsible for giving the drugs to him, they didn't and shouldn't have done so. Michael paid the price for the overuse and abuse of these drugs, but the doctors supplied what was needed to kill him. They broke their oath as doctors and the destroyed their personal ethics and morals as well. They are criminals and thus should face criminal charges. Micahel is dead for his part, leave him alone. He was a friend of mine, he wasn't a role model, he was an entertainer and I loved him for making me dance, sing and be happy. I do think he deserves the title of King of Pop. He is responsible for so many innovations. If you judge him for his personal battles, you better judge sports heroes like OJ for murder, Kobe for rape and adultery, Magic for adultery and so many other sports heroes and entertainers for drug abuse, spousal abuse, rape, murder, dog abuse, etc...etc...etc.

Michael Jackson was a genius in his music and people love it. The reality is and was he got consumed by his inability to handle life beyond his great musical talent. He was no leader and certainly proved to be a person no one of us should emulate. The News Media as usual blowup the situation out of proportion and the publisticity ****** Sharpton and Jackson did not help and actual took away sanctity of Michael Jackson's death and let us remember He died due to a possibly
induced death over use of a potent presciption drug that could have stopped his heart and other harm done to his body like disfiguring his face. From what was shown his family members appear stoic and his father's comments showed no sadness
and he was a big reason for Michael Jackson's demise emotionally.
A great entertainer but a pitful emotional mess and his family failed
him and as did his friends , The Staple center thing was a farce instead of way to say Good by to a son a brother a friend and an admirer of his great talent.

Who are you addressing?
CBS for posting an article about how drug addicted MJ was?
Or people posting their opinions about the drug addicted MJ.
Without the story there would be no posts.
