Perhaps the politician needs to address the needs of his constituents rather than talk about this subject.
That's been the sentiment on the local news here.

Where's the proof that this ever happened? Not urban legend but actual proof. I never said MJ was a great man. He was a great entertainer. The guy is even entertaining in death.

We could make that same charge against a majority of the Democrats in both the House and Senate. Why is it that it only becomes an issue when we're discussing a Republican discussing the idol worship of an alleged child molester and proven weirdo?

Where are all you voices of supposed reason when liberal wack jobs like Nancy Pelosi or Dick Durbin are ranting and raving with no basis in fact?

A 40 year old man sleeping with little boys is normal?

Outside of the case that went to court, the other families were paid off.

Al, Jeese and Peter King are all the same, political opportunists.

Jesse was solid during the civil rights movement, but he hasn't aged well mentally.

If your son was molested, would you allow yourself to be paid off and let the pedophile walk the streets?

The proof it happened is in the 20 million dollars he paid the last boy he molested to go away & contracted to NEVER speak of the molestation again. That's proof enough, what innocent man would do that?

A man falsely accused of molestation would fight the charge til the bitter end to prove he didn't do it.

So the NY congressman said what EVERYONE should be saying: WHY ARE WE CELEBRATING A GUY WHO WHO MOLESTED KIDS?? WHAT IS WRONG WITH OUR SOCIETY FOR OVERLOOKING SUCH SICKNESS?

What parent would take the money rather than FIGHTING TO THE BITTER end to ensure the person who molested their child was punished?

I'll pose the same question to you..As a parent, would you allow yourself to be paid off if your child was in fact molested allowing the perp to go free? What price would you put on that? MJ as did Kobe(who wasn't convicted) paid there accussers to avoid long drawn out civil proceedings that would have been a spectacle. Make no mistake, 20 million to MJ back then was weekend money. Funny thing is, people will acknowledge that a politician like Peter King can be an opportunist but believe that parents wont use there kids as an opportunity to make money. Extortion has been going on for a long while and it's worst crime to be accused of the being a child molester.
