New York congressman Pete King is all worked up about Michael Jackson, even though the singer - and his death - has absolutely nothing to do with the district he represents on Long Island. In a YouTube video posted over the weekend, King railed against our country’s current obsession with the death of a man he calls a ” pervert, a child molester,” and “a pedophile.”
His general point - that America is freaking out over a tragic and shady musician instead of praising the hard men and women fighting our wars, working in our hospitals and protecting our country - is sound, but doesn’t chiming in only make him part of the problem? Check out his rant above and weigh in below - do you agree with King’s anti-Jackson stance?

This country has NEVER given credit to the right people. The whole MJ thing is insane on the news, but really… do people want to hear about MJ or hear about the poor 18 year olds dying in a war we should have never started?

This congressman and whoever else feels this way at THIS TIME, is an +#%#&@~%!_~_+(~ HOLE and when he passes away, we’ll see if he even get nearly half the recognition that Michael Jackson is getting. R.I.P Michael, because +#%#&@~%!_~_+(~ HOLES like him are a part of the reason you didn’t have peace here on earth!!! We love you Michael…

You know, it’s scum like Pete King that give people a bad rep. Even in death, filthy mouth, disrespectful individuals have the nerve to talk trash about things that they have no proof of. How are you going to call Michael Jackson a Pervert? How do we know what “YOU” do and don’t do in “YOUR” home Congressman King. Learn to have respect, and don’t talk about +&*_`)#*@~#!$%“ that you have no proof of. And you call yourself a man that speaks for the public, and for your community, I’m glad you don’t speak for me, there are enough biased _(_`&@%+&!$$*$_ holes in the senate that have too much say in what happens to who, there should be someone to jugde them, and teach them to have some respect and character!!

Unfortunately Pete King like other misguided people in the world didn’t understand the real Michael Jackson. Anyone who listened to Michael’s words would know that he would never, ever, hurt a child in anyway. My belief is that Michael was sent to the world by God with a gift of music. He had a message to give mankind and we need to listen now more then ever. Be kind to one another, love each other, and cherish your children for they are our future. If we all just took one of Michael’s lessons to heart, it could be a world of peace and happiness.
As for the Peter Kings of the world I pray that you will someday see the truth about “The man in the Mirror”
