Sheila Jackson-Lee hits rock bottom; Update: Video added

By Michelle Malkin  •  July 7, 2009 03:10 PM

Oh, no, she didn’t.

Oh, yes, she did.

Democrat Rep. Sheila Jackson-Lee just pimped the stupidest House resolution ever on stage at the Jacko memorial at Staples Center. She held up a big, framed copy of it as the crowd cheered. That was after she extolled “The King,” painted him as the world’s greatest humanitarian, and demagogued the child molestation cases by proclaiming that members of Congress “understand the Constitution” and “we understand laws” and we know that “people are INNOCENT UNTIL PROVEN OTHERWISE!”

Yes, she did. Right there in front of Jacko’s three children.

I thought Al Sharpton’s memorial rant (“There was nothing strange about your daddy!”) was the low point for American culture.

Rep. Sheila Jackson-Lee, you win.

Question: Who paid for Jackson-Lee’s flight to L.A.?

    I can say this from reading this story: Democrats have no honor or sense of respect for the dead anyone. They now treat EVERY funeral EVERYTHING as a political pulpit.

    Jeez. I try to get away from the Jackson media circus and watch a movie, Spiderman, and all I hear him talking about is MJ this and MJ that. I give up.

    While the too short life of MJ is over, it is a comfort to know that he lives on within us. His struggles, pain, suffering and ultimate triumph is a lesson and inspiration to us all. He has touched every one of us and enriched our lives in so many ways. Through his musical genius, humanitarian generosity and love of all mankind he left a legacy that is unequaled by any human past and present.

    From this day forward, when faced with difficult life choices each and every one of us should ask:

    WWJD

    What would Jackson do?

    I’m so over the Michael Jackson coverage. There is more important things to talk about. The children are not biologically that’s for sure, look at them. I just hope Sir Paul gets his songs back now.

    I’m afraid that it’s no shock at all to the Jackson children that their father is a pervert in many ways… including being a pedophile.

    Every adult who ever had anything to do with Michael Jackson was and is a jackal and a parasite. If anyone had actually cared about him and where his life was headed, they would have done some sort of intervention on his behalf. They would have gambled their friendly relations with him in order to try to turn his life around.

    Instead, every one of them either looked the other way, or gave tacit approval in one way or another with what he was doing with himself and those he was affecting around him (far too often, little children). And, who was MJ? He had the emotional maturity of a six year-old himself. He was never in any position to know what was or wasn’t right for him to do or not to do.

    So now he’s destroyed himself, and all of these jackals and blood-suckers have come out of their holes and nests to “pay tribute” to this guy–which in reality they’re simply there to make sure that it can be said that they attended the event of the decade, and to try to out-do each other in their “tributes” to this sad creature.

    Everything about this is utterly disgusting to me. All of the hoopla and fanfare about it, with the ticket-selling and money-making that was done, it turned something that should have been a solemn affair into a circus. Had they any shame and humanity whatsoever, they would have made it as private as possible, and would have tried to make it a memory as something for his progeny and for those who will personally miss him.

    Instead, just as in life, in Jackson’s death the hyenas and buzzards are getting as much out of this sad creature’s existence as they can. Every last one of them have left the final measure of their humanity at the garbage heap, and have become the very ghouls and zombies who danced in “Thriller.”

    They keep comparing MJ to Elvis. One thing for sure – Elvis never turned himself into an ugly white woman. You’re right, Rev Al, Michael is surely not strange – weird perhaps, but not strange.

    Has anyone mentioned the Paul Wellstone memorial service? I remember it well. A political campaign event from beginning to end. It was so disgusting that even Gov. Jesse Ventura got up in the middle of it and stormed out. It was the single event that lost the democrats the election. People were appalled. (Oh, another reason they lost was that the candidate they picked was Walter Mondale.)

    “people are INNOCENT UNTIL PROVEN OTHERWISE!”

    No matter how you feel about Jackson or Jackson-Lee, the latter is exactly correct in this statement. That’s how our criminal court system works. If you have evidence to the contrary, you should have presented it to the authorities. You still could, if you like; perhaps there are some victims out there who could collect damages from Jackson’s estate as a result of your cooperation.

    It’s disturbing to have to remind anyone, especially those who frequent an allegedly Conservative blog, of this simple, fundamental fact. Tossing aside the presumption of innocence in order to persecute others is a tactic I expect from the Democratic Underground or Daily Kos denizens. Apparently, at least some on the Right are joining that race to the bottom.

    I am surprised she didn’t add:

    “unless you are Sarah Palin, George Bush or Dick Cheney. And if you are Charlie Rangel, William Jefferson, or any other Democrat you are still innocent even once “proven otherwise.”

    …unless, that is…they’ve had to pay $22,000,000 to shyut up the parents of a child….nw I ask you…..just why would someone who was INNOCENT need to do that?

    I know I will be crucified for this but MJ did give a lot of his money and time to over 25 charities – one thing I respect him for.

    I know that I will be crucified for this as well but I am not convinced MJ was a pedophile. Some of what he did with the boys at Neverland was very inappropriate but the proof of true sexual abuse just isn’t there. Not only did he give to charities and create a free playland for poor and sick children, he would visit hospitals weekly. He would take groups of kids to bookstores and pay for as many books as they wanted.
    He appealed to peoples of all countries who felt underprivileged and forgotten.
    Overall, I’d say he was a much finer person, in spirit, than Obama could ever hope to be.
