"Those young kids grew up from being teenage comfortable fans of Michael to being 40 years old and being comfortable to vote for a person of color to be the president of the United States of America.”

Al forgets that MJ tried to bleach his skin white, married white women, had white children on purpose...I don’t think he was a big fan of his race.

To be honest, I wouldn’t mind if all Al Sharpton talked about for the rest of his life was Michael Jackson.

This a.m., Mike Evans, the Hollywood correspondent for WNIS AM 790 in Norfolk VA, mentioned Jesse Jackson was wandering amid the media trailers at the Staples Center yesterday morning around 5 a.m. trying to get himself interviewed.

What a publicity-drunk putz!

"Michael Jackson has been accused of various despicable acts but to hold him responsible for getting Obama elected is reaching;"

The opening line of the article is very similar to the first thought I had after reading the title that MJ helped O get elected.

I supposed by that logic, you could say Bush and the GOP helped O get elected.

Sadly, there's more truth to that than Sharpton's statement.

The boy who would be white is turning over in his casket.

Milk it for all it’s worth, idiots.

There never was a “money maker” the leftist didn’t like.

The Jackson family and Sharpton recognize what an immense cash cow Michael Jackson is in death and they intend to milk it.

And the “many” plastic surgeries he had... so he could “look” less negro. Also, the “straight hair” wigs he wore....not a “negro” look either.

Trash gives rise to more trash. I guess that is the article’s point.

I love Sharpton. A famous, formerly-black entertainer dies, and he and his ilk are championing him as an MLK of sorts. Does anyone remember MJ ever saying he was proud to be an african-american? I’m not sure why they’re so desperate to claim him. They can have him for all I care. There are plenty of white pedaphiles out there - we don’t need another.

Al is off his rocker again. Poor slob never has time to rest because thee is a lot of black injustice in the world. What a donkey he is.

What a slam to MLK’s memory! I’m sure MLK’s family is disgusted by Sharpton’s remarks.

Didn’t he just recently come back to America?

Hey Al Sharpton....this is the real MJ. June 2006
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-389987/Who-real-father-Jackos-children.html

SNIPPET: “He also famously paid another young fan Jordy Chandler £10million in 1993 to drop molestation charges against him.

But then as Jackson is only too aware, his wealth and international celebrity have granted him special status. In Bahrain he has been engaging in increasingly regal behaviour.

Sources close to him say he plans to make his children’s nanny, 38-year-old Grace Rwarmba, wife number three. The formidable Miss Rwarmba is known in his camp as ‘The Enforcer’ because of the zeal with which she has taken on the role of organising Jackson’s life.

She is responsible for taking a fine-tooth comb to planning his itinerary. For one of those regular visits to the cinema in his new home she will routinely lay down the rules in advance to any member of staff who should find themselves face-to-face with the demanding star.

They are informed that they must under no circumstances touch him and may come no closer than one metre. They are permitted to smile, but instructed not to try and engage him in conversation. If they take pictures, they are told in no uncertain terms, their cameras will be smashed by his bodyguards.

The star, his children and their entourage then duly arrive in a fleet of blacked-out SUVs and are ushered through a fire exit to their own cordoned off section.

Jacko insists on being allocated a toilet for his sole use which, bizarrely, he visits every half hour during the film.

It was while in another large shopping mall that he is said to have been found, dressed as a woman and applying make-up in the ladies’ toilet (his PR’s explain that it was a simple mistake because he was unable to read the sign saying, ‘Ladies’ in Arabic).”

Let's see.

1.A few days after Michael Jackson's death, we see Jackson's children's birth certificates on the web, the ones with the names of the birth doctors and birth hospitals name on it.

2. On the other hand, we can't see President Obama's long form Hawaii birth certificate anywhere, the one that has the name of the birth hospital and birth doctor on it.

3. Again: When it comes to Michael Jackson, we see his children's long form birth certificates on the web just a few days after Jackson's death.

4. However when it comes to President Obama, the elected President of the United States of America, we cannot find a copy of his Hawaii long form birth certificate---the one with the doctor and hospital names on it---even though many, many months have passed since the Senator Obama announced his run for President back, I believe, in Feb. 2007, which, coincidentally, is the same year that is stamped on the back of the Hawaii short form birth certificate we see on the web.

5. I find the whole Obama birth issue bizarre, and it becomes even more bizarre when you realize that Michael Jackson's children's long form birth certificates are on the web and President Obama's is not.
