Just about everyone in the country knows who Michael Jackson is, I’m sure. I wonder how many can name who the Speaker of the House is.

this trick is how do you make them care when 50% of the people want nothing to do with politics. what made barrys run work is that the media and his crew pimped him as paris hilton and it worked. not even hillary could keep up with that. Lord knows Libbymac was out of his league from the start when it came to show.

An election being held on our country today. I think it will just like what you said..

And now Sarah Palin will be joining the ranks of celebrity and book touring. I’ll be waiting for the articles comparing her celebrity status to Obama. I’m glad to see that you consider her a phony as well.

That’s why Michael is a super star and he will remain a legend for 100-200 more years from now on!

Five years tops. I already forgot most of his music while he was alive. The Jackson train has run out of gravey.

Which is why we elected to the White House a celebrity with a flashy campaign and a knack for delivering his lines well instead of an actual leader.

Dude, it was almost 30 years ago, give it a rest!

This is actually a fine example of the mental disorder people like Rob suffer from.

Michael Jackson was an incredible talent and performer. But Rob dismisses his incredible and real talent, just as he does Obama.

So, in Rob’s simple and deluded mind, he mistakenly makes a comparison to support his delusion, never realizing the reality is completely the opposite.

Keiy,

Don’t try to reason with the unreasonable. This site is the rare site where the Trolls actually manage the blogs and the people like us, are the ones with reasoned responses to the issues.

We’re a culture fascinated with celebrity. Which is why we elected to the White House a celebrity with a flashy campaign and a knack for delivering his lines well instead of an actual leader. This is also why all politicians are so phony.

In this example Rob’s syllogism is completely false. First, Obama is a rarity, not the norm, but Rob argues that the reason why politicians are so phony is because they are so successful being like Obama.

It’s a false premise and circular logic. Rob doesn’t intend to make sense, but rather talking points that his sheeple parrot.

This site is a collective group of thoughtless Americans.

Under the law Citizen, that has not been proven….

I know he was a weirdo, and weirdo’s do strange things. I don’t know if he is or not, but I tend to agree with the principles of the founding fathers, why don’t you?

And I’m sure you don’t believe that OJ killed two people.

OJ got off because he was black, and had a moron for a judge. He essentially admitted he did it with his book.

Jackson on the other hand was blackmailed once, and was falsely charged a second time.

They raid his ranch and ask the little boy “Did he rape you?” Little boy says no. They force the boy into state sponsored therapy, and, a year later, he magically remembers getting molested! The family’s story also dramatically changes. Testimony is introduced from people who weren’t there to influence the jury. And, at one point, the prosecutor perjured himself to say that Jackson molested Mccully Culkin, even though Culkin had already denied this. He would later take the stand to defend Jackson.

The case was the biggest, clearest case of police/prosecutorial misconduct EVER, and it dwarfed even the Duke Rape case in it’s blatant violations of the law. Had Jackson pursued it, the DA would’ve landed behind bars. As would the sheriff.

It’s rare that you can actually prove someone innocent, but here is a case where you can.

That is the issue, two people getting away with crimes against other people.
Now, go polish your belt buckle Gidget.

I read the post, and saw nothing about MJ or Obama committing crimes. You are changing the subject and losing your argument in the process.

You should do your best to keep focused and less intent on personal attacks on peoples clothing. You just end up looking petty, and unable to stick to a debate.

Following your lead, it seems we both deviated from the subject matter.

The only thing that might be considered off topic was reminding you that your partisan desire to libel MJ is at odds with our nations laws and principles.

It was designed to keep you on track, that MJ was a talent and Rob is dismissing MJs contributions….and somehow trying to correlate that to Obama’s success.

Again, I think what is also lost on people like Rob, is the fact that our pop culture is Americas #1 export.

America made a lot of money of MJ, and this is the American way, Baseball, apple pie and Rock and Roll.

For what ever reason, bitter citizens like Rob believe it is more important to be miserable and to complain and attack falsely than enjoy your life and appreciate art.

The father DID go to the police. If you remember in one of Jackson’s interviews he stated how embarrassed and humiliated he was that he had to strip down so the cops could take photo’s.
Jackson paid off so there would be no law suit.

The police investigation didn’t start until AFTER the lawsuit was filed. The penis photographig was the turning point that broke Jackson. The lawsuit was already filed, and the police snapped to attention. The chronology is indisputable. Lawsuit, then investigation, talking to the boy, then jackson settling.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1993_child_sexual_abuse_accusations_against_Michael_Jackson

In 1993, Michael Jackson was accused of abuse by Evan Chandler, on behalf of his then-13-year-old child, Jordan Chandler. Jackson and Jordan had become friends in May 1992, to the father’s disapproval and concern. The friendship became well known, as the tabloid media reported that Jackson became a member of the Chandler family unit. Under the influence of a controversial sedative administered by Evan Chandler, his son said that Jackson had touched his penis.[1] Evan Chandler was tape-recorded threatening to damage the singer’s music career,[2] and engaged Jackson in unsuccessful negotiations to resolve the issue with a financial settlement.[3] Jordan Chandler then told a psychiatrist and later police that he and Jackson had engaged in acts of kissing, masturbation, and oral sex, as well as giving a description of what he alleges were the singer’s genitals.[4][3]

Notice that the cops were not involved until later. First dad, the demands for money, then a psych, THEN the cops.

And the description of the penis?

On his return to the US, Jackson agreed to a 25-minute strip search, which was required to see if the description of his genitals provided by Jordan Chandler was accurate. Doctors concluded that there were some strong similarities but it was not a definitive match. Jackson proclaimed his innocence, and criticized the media coverage. Jackson’s friends and legal advisers took over his defense and finances, persuading him to settle the allegations out of court.

So the boy was put on drugs to make him malleable. His description of Jackson’s penis wasn’t fully accurate. Close but no cigar. And the police were the last people involved.

How was this not blackmail again Citizen?

That is the issue, two people getting away with crimes against other people.

And also a pedophile…

Blackmailed…I feel that’s a bit of stretch considering that the little boy was able to accurately describe Jackson’s genitals to the police. The kid and his family were bought off.

The father DID go to the police. If you remember in one of Jackson’s interviews he stated how embarrassed and humiliated he was that he had to strip down so the cops could take photo’s.

And sleeping with little boys is….normal???
