Did Rep. King comments cross the line? While I agree with some of the media aspects of King's comments we must all remember that in the end Jackson was acquitted of those charges. We may not agree with jury's verdict, but that was the verdict.

Speaking for myself, I have no problem celebrating Michael Jackson and what he brought us as a entertainer.
May he RIP-

Agreed. If I had to vet every entertainer for their private lives before I could celebrate their artistic merits, I would have a small music collection. In America we are innocent until proven guilty. Whatever allegations were made against Michael, he has never been convicted of anything. I do believe Michael was profoundly disturbed in some way. Fame and stardom often carry a price and his behavior, to put it mildly, was eccentric. However, I feel that this guy King is just trying to exploit this situation for a cheap political shot. Its sleazy.

If he had said that he did not believe we should honor Michael, that is one thing, but saying we should honor the troops instead. That is just plain strange. If I follow his reasoning, he is saying that anytime someone dies who is not worthy of our esteem, we should take this opportunity to remember the troops. Why not remember the troops every day? Why not honor the troops by bringing them home? Why not honor the troops by not using them in a frivolous or usurious way? Why not honor the troops by not exploiting their service for political gain?-

No matter what some might, euphemistically term 'human frailties' on the part of MJ, this is not the forum to politicize the untimely passing of a great performer to advance ones own agenda.
Shame on this man.

here is the video of Rep. King's comments where he refers to Michael Jackson as a PERVERT, CHILD MOLESTER and a PEDOPHILE.

OJ was acquitted as well even though the evidence against him was overwhelming. Our jury system is no where near perfect and mistakes can be made. Only Jackson himself knows 100% if he did it or not, but this cloud will hang over his name forever. He was a great artist musically, but his actions with young boys would have gotten any other person arrested along time ago. Should we ignore that just because he was a star?

Hmmm..
Aren't you forgetting the young boys with whom he did or didn't do certain things?
When all is said and done - regardless of the flawed US justice system - the evidence of, at the very least, "inappropriate" behaviour was overwhelming.
