CJ....think!!!!He is a Republican....the history of others they have elected etc etc etc..Bush,Cheney,Palin etc etc etc.

See,it's easier to understand how he got elected isn't it?

I do agree with some of the things he said,but nobody elected me and FAUX doesn't chase me for comments,therefore I can afford to be classless and nobody cares.

MJ did more for charity than any of us will ever do in our lives. Who is Peter King and what has he done?

Has it occurred to anyone who doesn't like the coverage, to just turn it off? What's the big deal? To hammer away at MJ at this time, regardless of who he was and what he did in life, is like pissing on the man's grave. I just don't understand how this kind of cruelty turns someone on.

I'd like to see more people having the grace to just let it go.

So maybe you think it's tacky to speak of someone truthfully once they're dead but I don't. If you didn't deserve my respect when alive, then you certainly don't deserve it once you die.

Exactly!

Now, it IS tacky to be rude and say crap at your neighbor's funeral if it is petty annoying stuff like "that SOB was a jerk, he always left his grass clippings on my sidewalk, and let his dog pee in my flowers; thank G-d he's dead."

Now THAT is tacky.

But to tell the truth about someone after they are dead, not tacky.

I did NOT sugarcoat my ex bf (in HS) when he died. I understand there were quite a few people that loved him, but I would NOT sit there (10yr HS reunion) and listen to them telling me to say at least one nice thing about the bast**d that broke my nose, my wrist, 3 cracked ribs, and date raped me on our 3rd date, all because I refused to have sex. There is NOTHING nice to say about him, and I still to this day will not do it.

That, is NOT tacky.

Would he have spoken so harshly about Elvis Presley and his known drug use that cost him his life? Farrah was no angel. I believe the guy is a sick racist!!!!
Let us take note of these people's death and seek to prepare to meet the Lord Jesus. We are all going to DIE just as they did. WILL YOU BE READY to meet the lord ? Will it be in peace(saved) or in Terror(a sinner)? Hebrews 9:27. God bless ALL of you and I will remember all in prayer.
Wrong room for the Jesus speak, pumpkin.

Religion is down the hall to the left.

Going on video to state such things publicly, then going on TV to say the same, is in fact, what you are stating as tacky. Publicly demeaning a dead person.

How is he a RACIST? Is he against white people? Michael Jackson was not a black man, well he was at one time, but he denounced his blackness years ago, obviously.
