Congressman Pete King (R-NY) feels we should be honoring the men and women of the Armed Forces -- and not a "pedophile" and "child molester" like Michael Jackson.
Standing in front of the American Legion in Wantagh, King ripped into America's celebration of the life of Michael Jackson -- instead of the people who serve in the military.
It's safe to say King wasn't one of the 1.6 million people who signed up for memorial tickets.
61. Doesn't show much respect for the legal system he is supposed to be representing. Jackson was acquitted of all charges. Whether King likes it or not, Jackson was not ever legally a pedophile. He is essentially saying that our jury system is bogus if he thinks differently. Not a very American sentiment on Independence weekend.

62. Politicians lie, that's why this guy obviously relates to the Chandlers instead of Michael. For all of you who forgot what day June 13th, 2005 was...it was the day a jury found MJ INNOCENT! This guy needs to run back to the "mistress" he was doing before he decided to make this statement.
RIP to Michael Jackson AND to all fallen soldiers.

64. Sue the guy!!! He was never charged with anything! Making assumptions "ass out of U n me." Take that back to the barracks, while you're at it get some training from Joe Jackson's boot camp, see if you survive.

67. Michael is in his grave today because of people like this. It appears that this congressman belongs to a group that still hate blacks and since he cannot aim his hatred at the "people" he wants to aim it at, he is attacking Michael. Jackson.
Michael Jackson never molested a child in his life. So he can stop that now, also Michael j is a better person than this guy, has more money in his death, than this guy, has donated to more chairities than this guy and it appears that THIS CONGRESSMAN IS JEALOUS, ENVIOUS, AND WISH HE WAS MJ.
IT APPEARS THAT MICHAEL JACKSON HAD MORE CLASS IN HIS BIG TOE THAN THIS CONGRESSMAN HAS IN HIS WHOLE BODY!!!!!!

71. NO HE WASN`T!!! And people who can't or don't want to confess that should just shut their mouths because the rest of the world doesn't want to listen,watch or deal with them.
The world mourns true icons,human beings not like anyone else,so thank you for the suggestion I should honor people who serve in the military.
Aren't you pissed off yet? Cause I really am...
God Bless Michael's soul,may he rest in peace and know Heaven

72. The last I checked, MJ was acquitted! Congressman King is a man filled with hatred. We are going to honor MJ. If you don't like it, don't participate. Otherwise, shut the @#% up!
Don't hate on Jamie Foxx because he spoke up for what he believe in! He and many others has had to listen to years of praise for people we did not believe were deserving. It is a free country!

75. FYI he was aquitted on all of the charges thrown at him and it's a fact that sadly wasn't put out by the media that the accusers have a long history of lying. You can look up at some old TMZ reports here about the family of those accuser and what they are up to in the past and recent. If this politician still insist that Jackson is guilty it also proves that you don't trust the our justice system.
