Anti-Jackson Video A Hit, Says Rep. Peter King

Days after he posted a video calling Michael Jackson a pervert, Rep. Pete King says his office has been flooded with calls and the majority have been positive.

King told the NY Post that his office phones have been ringing off the hook with "hundreds and hundreds" of calls, with many callers thanking him for saying what had gone unsaid about Michael Jackson.

"I think I hit a raw nerve," King said.

Many other calls, however, were threatening and negative.

Meanwhile, Jackson fans are rallying to raise money to defeat King and get him out of office.

The video, if you missed it yesterday, is below.

Peter King thought that the Iraq War was a good idea.

If he's delusional enough to believe that, it's not surprising that he thinks MJ is a criminal merely by declaring him to be one.


BTW- Mr King......in the Iraq War.....4,323 dead US troops....and counting.

I'm waiting for the new youtube video where we see pete king rant and rave against convicted priests from the Catholic Church who raped young boys.

[lwilkerson50]

Yes FOX - please pick up on that ....hmmm.

[SILVANUS]

I'm waiting for the one that shows King.... well, you know. It always follows...

[dazeddawg]

is this circus (funeral) over with i'm missing my soaps

[lwilkerson50]

They rescheduled some of the programs. Be flexible.

I agree with King. Michael Jackson was a VERY twisted person. A few years ago Mancow (a radio personality) won a contest that Michael ran for reporters all over the world. The winner was able to spend a day with Michael Jackson. Well, Mancow a father of 3 yr old twin girls said that he was such a pervert he would not let his children within 12 ft. of the guy. Haven't you seen the story on MSN? It even showed how twisted he was. Some of the things Michael said were fictitious. How many hospitals actually let you run off with a baby with the placenta still on the baby?!!!?? He was so FULL OF ****!
Anyone who has experienced childbirth wether giving birth or simply being there knows that the hospital has to take the vitals and do the APGAR test etc. so they can record all of the necessary info for the birth certificate/record.

[kannita]

Mancow? ok. Good source HA!

[samilli3]

EEmilli...you are not free of sin..so do not sit here and judge

[skunky93]

Do you hear yourself?

You are spreading third party gossip. Where is the verification? How are you going to spout this crabola when you are neither a journalist or a fact checker?

Just a gossip is what u r.

[oscartucker]

The only time Mancow seemed humble was when he was on Keith Olbermann's show after he had been waterboarded. Until then, he seemed so "hard core".

[firelord5000]

Its a rule that whatever a rethug say, the opposite is true. The only pe d 0 is King.

[Lurker50]

Nice, a pic of the King of Poop and the King of Pop

Wouldn't be surprise if that "hundreds and hundreds" of calls was exaggerated, I know that there are people who do not like MJ but I can't imagine them taking the time to call you

[aaronr2000]

No, hundreds and hundreds sounds about right, when you add up the totality of his local rabid right wing base he threw red meat to.

[filmex]

No matter what the topic, King is a guy who goes around jabbing his thumb into people's eyes. What a toxic, corrosive personality..

[ipv4]

He was insensitive to say this now during the morning period but what he said was not inaccurate. Mike has the classical profile of a pedophile.

[Golfer59]

Explain the "Classical profile of a pedophile"?

[ipv4]

Grabbing young boys genitals for sexual gratification. Sleeping with young children that were not his own. Have secrete compartments in bedrooms to impress his young audiences. Please the list goes on and on....

[TruEngineHearing]

King is one of the worst pieces of it the GOP has ever found. He stinks from blocks away, yet will always have tons of supportive calls whenever he does one of his public dumps because he's a moral thug and his soul mates are legion. I just look at the pest and wonder how he escaped from the cage.

[ccmd]

and rest assured the ANTI PETE KING movement will be a hit

[BLACKMANVISION]

Like Peter King Said, even when a jury of your peers find you not guilty, as long as you're black, you are guilty.

Even when a constitutional trial is held, and you are found innocent during that trail, if you are black, you are still guilty. Peter King spoke the white truth. he is not the only white American who believe that black people are guilty even when they are found innocent, he is just willing to come out and say it.

[neesy08]

And what about when white people are guilty and get off? What about Emmit Till? What abot the cops that are found not guilty whe video shows different?
If you kept up with then ews, you would kow that the boy has admitted he lied about the abuse. His father put him up to it.

So, what about these white people? They got away with ruinig a black man's reputation. Again.

[GreenDayJohn]

Then why did he pay those families off...$20 million, if he wasn't guilty?

[GreenDayJohn]

Only a NYer would have the balls to call it like it is. Thanks Rep. King...

[sexyrexy]

balls??? MJ HAD MORE OF IT IN HIS PINKIE!

[MikeElPaso]

Would you care to rephrase that?

[GreenDayJohn]

I think he was a Eunich..Eddie Murphy proved that on Delirious.... :)

[Mychaeltodd Robinson]

In honor of Michael Jackson, the lawyers first piece of business should be to sue Congressman King!
I'm willing to donate money for the lawsuit of slander.

[houstonbayow]

Peter King, I don't know who you represent NY. Friends and family lets get this man out of the office ASAP. Please get this man out of office.

[MissingAmerica]

I can understand that, but "hit" may not be quite appropriate. I viewed it to see if I was offended by his comment and I was, so I went to the accompanying website to donate $25 toward the fund to elect someone to replace him next election -- and I'm not even anywhere near his district! I imagine he will find this will be far more of a hit as time goes on!
