Peter King Defends Comments on "Factor"
Peter King on "The Factor" last night. His first TV comments on the Youtube business since Sunday, I believe.
You missed? You've come to the right place.
PK was on remote from DC, and Bill O'Reilly brought up the business that the comments were "racist," to which King said, "absolute nonsense" - he called for Cardinal Law's resignation when sordid business surfaced too, and the first Catholic pol to do so, he claimed.
"I don't see how pointing out a person's horrible record, when someone is...abusing children. How is that racial?"
Well, says Bill. Why not wait a week then? The day before the guy's funeral?
And, says, King: "I spent the whole weekend with...as you'd say, been with the folks [and] they wanted to know, why is this guy getting all this adoration, getting this coverage...?
"I had to cut through this ten-day cacophony" - by this I presume he was talking about Newsday's coverage - "this onslaught where he was being made out to be a saint. So I wanted to cut through the psychobabble. He was a child molester. He slept with boys."
Bill O brought up the point that many have said it had nothing to do with deviancy and that the guy was sort of a Peter Pan figure - "he says he slept with them only because he loved them, involved no sexuality..."
And, Bill pressed, is it fair to hit the guy after he was acquitted?
I don't recall PK actually responding to the latter question; of the former point, he said this:
"I would say that an adult male who sleeps with young boys is a child molester. How are they going to grow up normal after spending nights in bed with Michael Jackson?
"It was a deviant lifestyle...
Of the coverage, "it went on and on, round the clock and at the same time with Americans dying in Iraq and Afghanistan...and you talk about a culture war, I think the media and elite class failed, defining deviancy down and it can't be much more down than what Michael did with young boys."
Rev. Al Sharpton was up next and - if you missed that part - Bill O pressed him on the line about MJ not being "strange;" Rev Al danced quickly away from that, and went straight to a rebuke, and relatively mild one at that, against PK:
"It's totally irresponsible for a lawmaker to disregard the law; charges were made against [MJ] and a jury of twelve said he's not guilty of child molesting...it's reckless and irresponsible..."
[Below, a clip of last night, but first, maybe you'd like to know MY thoughts on all this. As I said in this space and in an interview with News 12 Lea Tyrrell the other night, I think PK is genuinely off-base on this one for the simple and inescapable reason that the media HAS covered the molestation charges since Jackson's death. In fact, media coverage on this point has been unremitting, and I recall seeing a tick-tock on E! of all places that lasted for many minutes. Each of the major networks, cable and broadcast, has gone over the same ground pretty exhaustively too. Yes - TV has cited endlessly and at times hyperbolically his artistic achievements but also cited endlessly (at times hyperbolically) the pedophile charges too.]

King must be running for something, just want to be in the spotlight. There is a related post at http://iamsoannoyed.com/?page_id=2078
I think king would have never said this if Michael was still alive. He is just a coward. The only King here was Michael Jackson.
PLEASE LEAVE MICHAEL ALONE AND LET HIM REST IN
PEACE.

Innocent until proven guilty Mr. King. A rather important part of your countries law.
How you can hope to represent and seemingly be unaware of this presents a conundrum.
I hope your constituency remembers that when you are up for any future vote, or are accused of anything yourself.
I agree with Mr. King. When anyone dies they try to make
the person out to be a saint. I loved MJ the artist but not the man.
Why would a grown man need alarms around his bedroom?
Its like that gang banger in california. The whole community was
out marching because of his death came from white cops. They
held up pictures and signs etc etc...this guy was a murderer, drug
dealer, someone who terrorised the same neighborhood. He died
and they all forgot that.

Oh wait, that was the other guy.
Three Cheers for Congressman Peter King from NY. Finally someone with balls enough to say something that is unacceptable to the political correct crowd. Michael Jackson was a freak and a pervert. There are members in congress who are also perverts, and everyone knows who they are. One ran a male prostitution ring from his home, and another one got away with murder, and the list just goes on and on.
I would not even give Peter King the title of Mr. at this time.He is just another biggot and people of Long Island actually voted for this man to be in Congress .The last time i checked statistics prove most pedophiles to be of his race.Remember the bible says judge not lest you be judged.But should we expect anything more from him....after all he is a republican and we have learnt never to expect anything brilliant or educational to come from their mouths.Mr. King why don't you focus on doing your job properly rather than make comments that make you appear to an idiot..
ATTN PETER KING AKA-BITTER MAN!! HERO=As the world continues to mourn the loss of a great artist, the Guiness World Record book remembers Michael Jackson instead as the king of charity.The Millenium issue listed the music legend under Most Charities Supported By A Pop Star, with a staggering 39 international organizations including the Make-A-Wish Foundation and the American Cancer Society. Those are only the known ones however, as Jackson was also prone to giving away impulsively and anonymously. Jackson had been known to hand over the proceeds from concerts to local charities and hospitals as he did with the History tour in Bombay, or donate personal items for auction to organisations like UNESCO. It’s been estimated he may have given up to $500 million to charity in his lifetime.THAT IS A HERO SIR-WISE-UP
Peter King is a racism white sonna-bitch, he said that he's not a racism person. But
just look at his ugly face, he looks like the KKK people that very prejudice and racism again
other people that better the him. Peter King was a world bigger racism sonna-bitch that
ever walk on the planet of earth now. If he so jealous about MJ, he should just kill himself and see if he would
be famous too. Anyway, nobody won't care about the fucker racism asshole...........
My name is Elizabeth and I risked my life to come to America for the freedom of speech 32 years ago! I am a single parent and I support UNICEF. I love and honor America with all my heart, but what Peter King sad about Michal Jackson is a dishonor, low, illogical and outrageous. Its people like him and the brain washing media that killed Michael! Every opinion should be based on facts. The only facts he has is from the gossiping media. Michael donated more money to charities then any one else. He wasn’t just the artist of Millennium - he was a voice for children around the world through his music. I personally have seen the eyes of molesters, perverts and pedophiles they had no love in their eyes. Michael was pure love!!! I believe its nothing wrong to let children to come to your bed and have slumber partys, especially for Michael, he slept on the floor! - he didn’t a have normal childhood. Its too bad that people have to twist the facts and assume the worst... Here are some facts for you- In both cases it was not the children who tried to accuse Michael - it was money greedy parents who brainwash their kids. In his first case Michal was advised to pay them off and not to trust the judicial system. In the second case he went to court and was proved not guilty in the face of the law. If you want more facts check on the funeral testimonials / Wikipedia and SHUT UP !!! Let his spirit be in peace!!!
some people are always comparing OJ to Michael, how could these people have size of a body too HUGE to carry a pea-size brain. goodness, OJ's case is different from MJ. please read further & don't rely on your narrow shit filled mind. Some has taken "sleep with" too far from it's basic meaning than what MJ meant, does "I slept with my dog" or "I sleep with my teddy bear" means "I had SEX with my dog or I fuck my teddy bear'???? c'mon... without a tail PETER, u still look like a CROCODILE hungry for whatever meatyness in this world.
MOST POLITICIALS PETER ARE TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE! FUCK YOU!
Man in the Mirror
Michael Jackson was the man in the mirror
With many faces - of different cultures
He saw you, me and himself in a hopeful world
Filled with love and peace for everyone
But sadly he could only see it behind
A gated world of fantasy - which was real to him
Many misunderstood him - with blind eyes, closed ears
And a heart of stone because they refused to believe
That a matured man like Michael Jackson –
With his level of talent and wealth
Was only trying to capture the childhood he never had
When watching my grandchildren at play
I often reminisce about my childhood and
Occasionally tell them fun stories
Michael Jackson had little if any to tell his children
I can’t imagine life without a childhood - can you?
No childhood friends to play with and share secrets
He had a void in his life that needed to be complete -
So he began searching for his childhood
Through the hearts of the young
There is a song that Michael Jackson wrote -
“Have you Seen My Childhood”, please play and listen to the lyrics
with an open mind and heart
Maybe for those who misunderstood him - will now understand him
Michael Jackson was extraordinary but not strange
God gave him a gift to share with everyone and “he did”.
The world will forever remember the legendary, unforgettable -
Michael Jackson
A fan forever,
Mary Stern
