I was never a Michael Jackson fan. That should come as no surprise to those who know me. Am I surprised by the cult-like media frenzy over his death? No. Even Fox News has been sloppy sick over his death.
It's too bad that his life took the strange perverted twists that it did. Has everyone forgotten him holding his baby out over a balcony of a hotel with one hand? Has everyone forgotten he paid off a family to not pursue charges of child molestation to the tune of $25 million dollars? I could go on but you get the point.
While I'm at it, I want to give a Big Double Barreled Salute to Republican New York Congressman Peter King who tells it like it is when he questions why Jackson is getting so much media coverage - King says the man was a pervert, a lowlife, and a pedophile. I'll throw in drug addict and just plain nuts. It's unfortunate that a lot of child stars end up with really screwed up adult lives.
Jermaine Jackson's attorney called Peter King's comments "highly inflammatory" and defamatory. No, King's comments are the truth and a much needed, sharply focused beam of light in a pitch dark sea of twisted, pervert worship.
What about Representative Sheila Jackson-Lee, a Democrat from Texas, who has introduced a bill in Congress to recognize Jackson as a "global humanitarian and a noted leader in the fight against worldwide hunger and medical crises" and "an accomplished contributor to the worlds of arts and entertainment, scientific advances in the treatment of HIV/AIDS, and global food security." EXCUSE ME WHILE I THROW UP.
If you feel like I do, don't waste any time in emailing or calling your elected officials in Congress and the Senate and letting them know how you feel. You can use this web site to contact your elected officials: USA.gov.
I'd rather eat dog vomit that have to watch the varnished and shellacked coverage of his death and memorial. Now you might say well, just turn it off. To which I would reply: I did!
It makes me sick that while our brave military men and women are fighting and dying around the globe, every news organization is chanting Michael Jackson in unison. This is such a prime example of the pitiful state of this country and especially the news organizations that program the minds of the masses. Yes, he sold a lot of records, and yes, he had a lot of fans, but he's being elevated the level of a deity and guess what folks... he ain't.
So what about a conspiracy theory? Obama's administration admits that they misread just how bad the economy was. The war in Iraq is going pretty good - but Obama can't claim any credit for that because he was against the whole thing anyway. So did someone in the shadowy parts of the government decide that offing Jackson would be a great diversion from the country's economic problems, especially as some of the news media other than Fox News was starting to complain about scripted news conferences from Obama? No, that's just too far fetched... That's just my mind playing tricks on me. Ok, that probably didn't happen, but I'm sure the Obama administration welcomes the media distraction.
Again, if you feel like I do, don't waste any time in emailing or calling your elected officials in Congress and the Senate and letting them know that you do not support any bill or legislation honoring or glorifying Michael Jackson. You can use this web site to contact your elected officials: USA.gov.
Don't wait, do it now!
