(AP)  A New York congressman says in a YouTube video that Michael Jackson was a "pervert."

Rep. Peter King said society is "glorifying" a "low-life" while ignoring the efforts of teachers, police officers, firefighters, veterans and volunteers.

Jackson was acquitted of molesting a boy.

In the video, the congressman says the "day in and day out" coverage of Jackson's death is "too politically correct."

He conceded that Jackson "may have been a good singer" and "did some dancing."

King is among the possible Republican contenders for the seat held by Democratic Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand.

King has said in the past that he represents the interests of "blue-collar conservatives."

When Rep. Peter King dies, I hope God does not judge him as harshly as he has judged Michael Jackson.

It's not that the fans don't care what Michael Jackson allegedly did to the children. It's that we are informed enough to know better and don't believe he did it. I wouldn't be a fan if I actually believed he was a child molester. I've just always known different. Some non-fans don't understand that he wouldn't be thought of or glorified in this manner if he was actually thought of as a pedophile. He wasn't!

You must be related to Mr. King. YOU sound just as ignorant as he did! As a mother, there wouldnt be enough money to make me go away if someone had molested my child.The fact that they could be paid off speaks volume in my book!!!!

Everyone just needs to live and let live. Mr. King should never have said those terrible things about Michael Jackson.We are all human beings with feelings.Whatever his opinion is, he should have kept it to himself.Did he not consider the fact that Michael has a mother and how she must have felt? She was already heartbroken at the loss of her child.Where was his compassion? This is a perfect example of what is wrong with the world today.Mr Jackson was a far bigger and better man than you Mr. King! I dont think he ever said anything mean about anyone in public. Quite the opposite, in fact, he wanted the world to love one another and help eachother. by the way, I didnt hear you complain about him when he donated 10,000,000 for 911 relief fund.Guess he wasnt a pervert when the state cashed his check!!!Michael Jackson left a wonderful legacy, and will be remembered as a giving kind humanitarian who loved everyone.All youll be remembered for is how you trashed someone great who died and hurt a mother and three innocent children.May God have mercey on whats left of your soul. Ill pray for you i feel sorry for your family!!!!

This comment is for Rep.King, I knew you were ugly on the outside,now i know it comes from way deep down inside. You were not raised right , so i guess its your moms fault for not teaching you that the only one who can judge others is GOD. You know who GOD is dont you?He is our creator.Although im not sure you are one of his creations,I think you were spawn from the devil.Show some respect for the Jackson family, especially his children. I pray that they never hear what you said about their dad. you piece of ****!!!!!!!!

I am terribly distressed that the Michael Jackson story has replaced all news coverage for the whole week by all electronic media. Obama is in Russia, Italy, and on his way to Africa, and all we hear and see is Michael Jackson! It is obscene. Meantime, SEVEN soldiers have died in Afghanistan, and it looks like our country has gone insane over a rock star! Shame!

He was a great singer and dancer and inspired many great musicians but this is ridiculous.... he's being idolized as some god. He was no god, he was a drug and alcohol addict. I'm tired of people trying to deny that and blame that the "news is just trying to bash him because he was black", so did the news just bash heath ledger for being white as well? Or were they just stating a fact for a cause of death?

Honest yeah right. How about respect? Of course the cover is over the top, but to say lowlife and pervert? Not guilty is not guilty. Those comments were a desprate and cheap attempt for attention! I would have respected his comments more with the childish name calling. Next please tell Peter King to do his research before he speaks again know the facts. Michael Jackson contributed so much to the world.
Here is something to think about one website said about how all celebrities are not equal I see! Since we don't talk about Marilyn Monroe's drug and sex issues? Or Kennedy's and Frank Sinatra reportedly had ties to mobsters?
Or the fact that our founding fathers perpetrated the sin of slavery or that America?s beloved explorer Christopher Columbus is responsible for American Indian genocide?

This is a post I made on a wall of a Facebook group. I wish to share it here:

This disgraceful excuse of a man Peter King had the nerve to speak out inappropriately,and maliciously timed,on Youtube against Michael Jackson and in so doing against the law of the land in which he represents a small part. He spoke against a man cleared on all horrible counts, by a court of law in the United States of America. Therefore Mr King you speak against America. Did you do this in order to achieve a moment of global fame, that you are so undeserving of?
I decided to call Peter King on this! Youtube was not open to further comments. In disgust and frustration I wrote an email to his website asking that Peter King answer to his crude remarks by email, on Youtube, wherever, however? I received in return from this coward, what I expected that I would get, an automated reply. Why? I presume that this pompous, arrogant, pessimistic white supremacist is not capable of answering to such horrible, nasty, derogatory and unfounded remarks against Michael Jackson, the USA and the globe. Thank God you are the minority! Small minded, nasty beings like this man are why America now has a highly intelligent, diplomatic,open minded black president.
Something needed to be done, for America to regain the respect, love and appreciation of the world.
I write this with kindness and respect to the majority of Americans,Micheal Jackson and his friends and family.

Michael Jackson was taken advantage of in so many ways. It's unfortunate that there are people in this world that will take advantage of ones kindness and unselfishness. The only perverts in Michaels lives were the parents of the children that accused him of doing unspeakable things all for money. I only wish that Michael would have gone to court with the first accusers because it would have never gone to the second. The only reason this ever came up is because the second family (trailor trash) got wind of the settlement that Michael was willing to pay to get the first bunch of leeches out of his life and they wanted to be paid off too, but it backed fired on them. There will never be another Michael Jackson and anyone who has anything bad to say about him was just envious and jealous of his charm, his great looks, his personality, I mean the list is endless and I didn't even mention his talent. The world could definetly use more Michael Jacksons

Mr. King, pure and simple...you are disgusting. You have no respect for those grieving. As I stated in a thread, every time a political hack opens his mouth, we find out he is involved in a scandal. What scandal will you be involved in? Will we discover that you are merely a hypocrite?

Politicians are a dime a dozen...at every level. It clearly takes a ***** and a narcissist to be a politician.

I think I've heard and had enough of this crap circulating about Michael Jackson and his so-called perversion! There are alot of people who stood to make a lot of money off of the bs that was put out by this entire circus, including those like Diane Dimond and others. This poor man went through a living hell while he was alive for no reason, which practically financially broke him and broke him physically, emotionally and spiritually. He didn't deserve one second of this kind of torture and yet people kept on and on and on, treating him this way. He was a true humanitarian and did more to help others than the rest of us ever hope or dream of doing for others. He deserves to rest in peace and be left alone by those hateful idiots out there! He will be remembered for bringing joy and happiness to us through his music and not as someone who didn't deserve to be treated like the rest of us. May all of his naysayers rot in hell.

Shame on this guy! Talking bad about the dead! Let us remember Michael for all the good he did while here on this earth. Yes, he was bizarre in his behavior but no more bizarre than some politicians that abuse their power and want our forgiveness.
The coverage is over the top.....but that is what happens in "Tinsel Town". The money could be better spent on more important things right now with our economy in bad shape. RIP Michael.

What's worse is Madonna's proclamation that Jackson was one of the greatest artists of all time. What a joke...off the top of my head I can name a hundred real artists, whose mere presense on the earth should have made Michael embarrassed to call himself a musician.

Two of them, Paul McCartney and Stevie Wonder, actually worked with Jackson. Just compare Thriller to Sargeant Pepper's, Born in the USA, Radiohead's OK Computer, Rumours, and even Fear of a Black Planet--or any of a thousand other albums which actually had soul, and something to say, in a way that pushes the boundries of music as art.

Just because millions of people who wouldn't know art if it slapped them upside the head worship this guy's shallow, overproduced, pop c*r*a*p, doesn't make him a "great artist," any more than Madonna is...
