I'll find some more.

So you're just spouting off some random statistics now? Why? What does this have to do with what were discussing?
Also a source would be nice.

ugh, another thing I hate about liberals... this stupid michael jackson thing.
99% of these people havent even met the guy, yet apparently 750000 people are going to his funeral. its headline news on almost every network, and has been for almost a week now. North Korea is on the brink of nuclear war with us, the california govt is collapsing and the liberal media finds that Michael Jackson is the most important piece of news... unbefreakinleavable...

^wow, so now MJ is a "liberal thing". Yes I'm sure no one that is a fan of MJ is conservative and all of them vote only democrat.  You generalize way too much about people and it's ridiculous. It's hard to take someone seriously when they say something like this.

If im wrong, you find me a conservative out there who would do this... Go to MJ's funeral, or even give a crap about all of the media coverage he is getting
Or you can try polling people. I GUARANTEE you 99.9% of MJ fanboys, to the extent of visiting his funeral, would be democrats. Im just saying...
Do I generalize? Maybe a bit... but I can guarantee you if you were to actually do some research, my generalizations would be correct.

well gee if you don't know any then I guess they can't possibly exists since you seem to think you know it all and can guarantee it.  Unbelievable people are that full of themselves.
Not everyone is either a democrat or republican either, including myself. So there is a good chance you'd be wrong based on that fact alone.
Either way WHO CARES what political party his fans belong too? This has nothing to do with anything with regards to CA's current situation.
Also there is a Politics section where people like you can spend the day spouting off about liberals or whatever groups you like to generalize. You seem like the type of person that would enjoy that sub forum.

Well, I know quite a few 'conservatives' that care quite a bit about MJs passing. A few are even evangelical Christians and highly religious... I played music with them.
I am saddened by his passing and was looking forward to seeing if he had what it takes to make a comeback. Of course, as a musician I may view him a little differently than you do.
Your generalities are absolutely unfounded and ridiculous.

I could care less who it is! Rush limbaugh, Sean hannity, I don't care. I haven't met them, why should it matter? You guys are missing my entire point... this MJ crap is placed above everything else in the news right now. Above national security, world news, and the economy. Its complete BS. They even had a larry king special last night detailing MJ's friends and family complaining about how his will was to be divided up.
Its unbelievable how irresponsible people in this country have become.
