and just to add onto that...anyone who says Peter King's comments about michael jackson are racist is utterly laughable.

I completely agree with O'reilly. The media have glorified him and have chosen to gloss over the facts about his life. A man who sleeps in bed with children (boys in particular) who are not his own has something wrong with him. Even if he did not 'do' anything with them; the guy still has some serious issues. Not as much as the parents who sent their children to him but that's a different story.
To claim him as a black icon is ignorant; for that guy to say that African-Americans still thought of him as one of their own and were loyal; well he wasn't loyal to them. He changed his whole appearance trying to become a white man with white features. Like O'reilly says; all people bought his music, if michael jackson hadn't sung i'm pretty sure blacks and whites would still get along and barak obama would still have become president.
Another great point was that michael jackson wasted millions of his money on himself. He has every right to do that but to sing and talk about how we need to

Inglorious basterds ruining our world ...left up to these negative, mean spirited, ill-willed, self-promulgating, narrow minded poor thinkers we will all be doomed ....I prefer Michael Jackson any day; no matter what he was accused of and let us remember he was cleared of all charges except the wicked that executed this could not give back "the restoration of his good name they thrashed" reveling in his demise ....engineered perhaps for all his consciousness raising music like another icon John Lennon??? Someone discuss please. Michael's estate should consider asking/warning/taking legal action against these folks who will not stop unfairly thrashing him again in death....fancy a Congressman saying such vile things, who voted for him??? ...it is enough...there is no good coming out of this for America or the world!....please just stop...we can disagree but there is no need to call Michael false names. Wish the Congressman would work on improving the world and children's issues...more

It's amazing how people put so much blind faith in our justice system. How many times do we see obviously guilty people get off for various reasons. And for the idiot applauding Johnny Cochran for getting a murderer off, you are pathetic. To see guilty people escape punishment is sad , no matter what race you are. I pray that you are never a victim of our flawed justice system. Although I can't judge MJ because I don't know if allegations were true he is meeting the ultimate judge now. If he was innocent or guilty there is no hiding the truth from God. I love MJ's music but cannot speak about his character because I did not know him personally though it seems everyone else talks about him with such confidence you would think they had him on speed dial.

Speaking as a Christian systematic theologian, the description of MJ by the politician was soft, and the characterization of MJ as a follower of Christ Jesus in the memorial service was mindlessly ludicrous. Far from being an object of Christian or pagan reverence, MJ was in fact profoundly evil, even demon controlled, as everything about him clearly reveals even to the casual observer—too obvious to miss, really.
He gave millions to charities for children in a futile attempt to quieten his conscience because of what he, himself, was doing to them by means of his lewd, penus fondling, coitus imitating, and thoroughly demonic dance routines. But his conscience would not be bought off by any amount of bogus charity, and it must eventually have caused his virtual suicide by doctors and drugs.
His spiritual mentor, Satan, sees him as an extremely useful idiot in his service who must now endure pain and suffering much too enormous to describe, an awful existence onl

Just wanted to clarify my point a little more: Peter King was way out of line to say what he said on You Tube and Bill O'Reilly should not be backing him up. I am referring to the name calling specifically! This behavior is not acceptable by anyone - let alone a public official who is supposed to be upholding the constitutional values of the country and earns his living with tax payers' money (even Michael Jackson's and the Jackson family's taxes). Were Peter King's comments rooted in racism? Who knows - maybe. Al Sharpton is not making it a racist issue but said he knew Michael and will not allow this level of disrespect to his family and the legacy of his community's most famous individual by a "public" official. He simply checked Peter King on his behavior like anyone else would and should have done. IMO: It's O'Reilly who played the race card by saying that Michael Jackson's behavior would not be tolerated if he was white. WTF?? BULL! If Michael Jackson was proven guilty, then he w

It's innocent until proven guilty - period! You are not giving the system enough credit. When is the bullying going to stop???? He's different, so what? He's dead now so mission accomplished. How can we teach our kids not to bully when we as a society are not leading by example? Did Bill or Peter really know him? I doubt it. Did the media portray the truth? Let me put is this way: I put more confidence in the legal system than a ratings hungry, competitive, salivating media thank you very much! History will judge society accordingly.

As for Peter King, I just have one thing to say: Congressman or Lynchman - I think it's obvious...
O'Reilly obviously doesn't understand the American Justice system or the Constitution very well. Innocent until "proven" guilty is guaranteed to every person under the law. I mean, why bother having trials then - right??? Ignorance breeds ignorance and it scares me that he has already sat or might actually sit on a jury some day or can possibly inflence others who will. Karma is a biatch and I hope and pray that Bill and Peter both find themselves in a position one day to have to defend themselves against bogus claims (oh wait, Bill has - he must be guilty then right?), being aquitted, and then still be persecuted. Anyone can accuse anyone of anything and that is why the legal system exists Bill! Your negativity (among others just like you) already drove Michael to an early grave and now what??? You want to dance on it too? Enough already!!!!

I hate O'Reilly to the core, but he's right in this case. The media has elevated him to hero status. Jackson was a uniquely talented entertainer, conceivably without equal. But he's no hero. He's no role model. He's no standard of any kind of behavior that anyone should idealize.

I destest Bill O'Reilly, HOWEVER I think he is 100% right on this one. To imply that someone who thinks that MJ was guilty of child molestation is a racist is the most asinine thing I've ever heard. Many of us who loved him in his earlier days and still love his music were completely put off by 1) the freakish plastic surgery (that he had the audacity to DENY), 2) the skin bleaching (sorry guys - vitiglio gives you blotchiness but does NOT turn your entire face and body white - check any credible source on that), 3) the bizarre behavior during his trial, and 4) most of all - the sleeping with young boys (never girls). As Barack Obama likes to say, you can accept that people have differences of opinion without vilifying them or questioning their motives. There are some pretty legitimate reasons that people share O'Reilly's opinions on this one, and its not because of race. That's like saying that the majority of us who think Sarah Palin is a complete moron are sexist or anti-white.

Again Mr. O'Reilly did not get his facts straight before making ingnorant comments. Michael Jackson is in the Book of World Records for creating the most charitable organizations anyone has ever created. He was not selfish. He was generous, charitable, and loving. Unlike Mr. O'Reilly, he did not spend his time sreading hatred and ignorance, he spent it spreading love.
Also, medical experts have aknowledged that African Americans can not turn themselves white by bleaching their skin and Michael Jackson most likely had a skin condition, just as he said he did.
Peter King and Bill O'Reilly are again proving their ingnorance by making comments that they can not back up with any fact or evidence. Until they can do so they should keep their ignorance to themselves. If they want to excersise their rights to speak their opinions, then they should admit they are their opinions and not state them as facts, which they are not.
Michael Jackson was a loving, caring, generous person who sho

bleaching skin? how rude. why do they feel the need to tear michael down if they are so upset with all the coverage? wouldn't the smart thing to do, is to stop covering all together? they are just giving the topic more fuel and probably are interested in the attention they will get from saying such awful things about race. Bill probably knows no one will give two shits when he passes, and def wont get a memorial service of that size by any means. I think bills the racist one anyway, ever hear the things he says about snoop dogg?

He needs to check his facts. We weren't cheering for O.J. We didn't think he was a hero. We were applauding Johnnie Cochran for beating the legal system at it's own game. For years, laws have been twisted and manipulated to get caucasians off of things they were dead guilty for, so we were applauding his "smarts." I, personally, felt no sympathy for O.J. and he certainly wasn't my hero.
