King: MJ Coverage an 'Orgy of Glorification'

The Congressman who railed Michael Jackson by calling him a "pedophile" and "child molester" this weekend isn't done yet -- Rep. Peter King has ammo for days.

"Yes, he did violate young boys. He did put them in terribly inappropriate positions. And that's a terrible signal to be sending out to society," the NY Congressman told CBS 2 today, among other gems.

King swears he won't speak out against MJ tomorrow -- out of respect for his memorial.

16. David Carradine was a pervert. Elvis Presley dated a 14 year old girl and then married her - so he was a pedophile. I would not allow my teenage son to intern as a PageBoy for any Congressman. What's his point? He is a stupid, ignorant man who is looking to further his career by bashing a defenseless dead man.

17. King is a wind bag and hate monger. No one should be suprised he's trying to exploit MJ's coverage to garner some attention for himself too. The man is a low life.

18. Whether or not MJ fiddled with boys or not, it is truly an orgy of glorification, just as truly as Pete King's bad breath...ew.

19. King is just BEGGING for a slander and defamation lawsuit.

20. Amen to this guy! He speaks the truth. We have soldiers, teachers, law enforcement that should be our heroes. They gave their lives for their cause.

This dude was a drug-addicted perv. He brought all this on himself. I don't dislike him - but I'm sick of the constant fawning over a man that left a trail littered with broken young souls.

Now - let's honor the people that died in the line of service to our country.

21. Even though i don't agree with him, but we do live in a country that has freedom of speech....

22. I'm not an American citizen and don't live in the US either, but as far as I know, Michael Jackson was cleared off all charges by a justice system Mr.King represents and should respect. This doesn't speak well of a congressman, does it? Or is your justice system so weak?

23. Please shine that self-righteous spotlight on your own party. You are a typical politician...trying to get some attention diverted your way. Go somewhere and shut the hell up!

25. This is the reason a "jury of your peers" is so flawed.

Would you want this guy on a jury when you were accused of anything you didn't actually do?

26. He is a white trash loser, who is looking for press, I hope he gets killed by one of Michaels fans!

27. Respect the dead. You lost your seat...No one knew who you were until you open your stank mouth.

28. It is amazing that this man is passing judgement on Michael Jackson when a jury has acquitted him. What if we put a movie screen in front of you, God only knows what will come out. How about you do your job in New York and let those of us who respect what this man has given to the world mourn his death. I see why so many American live in other countries. There is absolutely no respect for Americans by Americans. Get it together USA!!!!!

29. Apparently speaking out in the media for shock value and awe for exposure and political gain is acceptable to this guy as long as we are on the legislative portion and we ignore the justice process in place in this society where someone was proven not guilty in our court of law but hey not too suprised now-a-days with politics.
