Politician Calls Jackson a 'Pedophile'

According to the celebrity-fawning coverage of MJ in the Washington Post, everyone is devastated because everyone was so affected by the marvelous Michael Jackson. The Post practically turned into a Michael Jackson fan magazine after his death!

Do you have a link?

I am listening to O'Reilly discus the, "probable over dose death of Michael Jackson". You see, now he is guilty of dying of an overdose and Megyn Kelly has his doctor Conrad Murray guilty of the crime. She said he is in "serious trouble".

Why is it defamation to say Sarah Palin might be under investigation but okay to say Michael died of a probable overdose before the autopsy results come back? I really don't understand all these double standards?

If the GOP is worried that King's comments will cost them votes, then the GOP is in more trouble than we thought. Anyone who would hold King's comments against him is reaching for something and probably didn't agree with him on anything to start with. I suspect Peter King would lose more votes if the Yankees didn't go to the World Series.

King went on to say that we should be honoring our fallen servicemen and women the way we're honoring Jackson. Anyone care to disagree with that?

Palin is under investigation. And most clinical definitions of "overdose" would fit Jackson (have you seen his purported cocktail of medications, esp relative to his BMI)? People hear "overdose" and they think of a suicide or an intentional act. Not the case. No one is alleging (to my knowledge) that Jackson intended to take his own life. However, if the purported cocktail of drugs is even half accurate, there's enough there that would violate prescribing/dosage norms that would make questions reasonable.

At the end of the day, so what? So Peter King called Jackson a pervert and pedophile. Why should I care what Peter King thinks? If you care, why?

None of this makes him a pedophile, just a guy who makes bad decisions. It also makes him a guy not concerned with what others think. Last I know, neither of those were illegal.

Is this an example of the level of discernment that you use in counseling members of your church?

If it was brought to your attention that one of the members of your church is a 40 year old man that likes to invite little boys to sleep with him in his bed and then pays their parents off after the fact to keep them quite - you would offer the same opinion as above?

I don't remember anyone speaking in tribute to Michael who didn't acknowledge he made bad decisions, I can attest to that. My point is should we stop at that. I mean if we tell the bad shouldn't we also be obligated to tell the good? Out of fairness and in the name of Christian Love, shouldn't we equally tell both?

Perhaps you could model this for us here on the board - why don't you start with living up to this standard when talking about Sarah Palin?

I didn't say most people, I said millions. Millions are mourning his death to include one town who wants to change their name to Jacksonville. It is no different from Fox covering the tea parties. We can say millions are not happy but does that equal most? Was it covered?

So now we're comparing Michael Jackson followers to Tea Party attenders.

What a monumentally stupid comparison.
