Not Backing Down

" Now the top story tonight a growing racial controversy over Michael Jackson while the millions of Americans have watched the coverage of Jackson's death. Millions of Americans are also Fed -- with a glorification of the man. Leading that charges congressman Peter king of New York."

" This guy was sick -- hurt the child molester. Had a -- And he's been giving his first -- him day in and day out. What -- the United -- soon to which reportedly -- I would want to stand up and say we don't need Michael Jackson. "

" I'm joining us now from Washington is the controversial. Congressman king are -- I can say that congressman Bobby Rush. From Illinois in hazel dukes and NAACP officials implied your rates. What -- you."

" That is absolute nonsense I stand by everything I say there's actually nothing racist or racial and any of you words are used. You know bill I was on your -- over seven years ago I was the first. Catholic politician the United States to call the resignation of cardinal law has -- been -- abortion because he would have failed to. I go after the child molested in the clergy enforcement. This past weekend Bob -- the New York Times. An African American columnist said that behind the facade of Michael Jackson is the horror of child abuse I don't see how. Pointing out as persons -- racket when it comes to. Misusing and abusing children have happy homes racial anyway and also has to say this as ironic point. On Sunday the New York Times editorial was very solemn -- from good to say about me. They praised me and John McCain because for five years we've had a bill in congress which were charged him go through this year the rate on a presidential pardon. To Jack Johnson the first African American heavyweight champion and we're doing that because his prosecution was racially biased against them -- was racism. And John McCain and I -- spoken out against that I certainly get no votes in my district that. So why I think -- Margaret it is clear I just think that people raising this -- actually -- And it's really it's wrong."

" New -- I RAI value for a long time here you're not a racist in mr. Russian -- Are cheap for playing that race card against you. But the timing of what you said you what you said was harsh and whose party. And you know man whose died he has people love him. In hindsight might you have waited a week."

" No bill because it's already gone on for nine to ten days I guess we'll put me over the edge towards. I spent the whole fourth of July with veterans and cops firefighters -- from parades in -- on mystical hawk. As you would -- be with the folks. And there was such a resentment building up people why is this guy getting all the -- Occasion good singers good -- why why is getting always homered twice as the nation stopped. Michael Jackson. So I was there I want to American legion hall on Sunday. But with somebody in my staff we had a video camera -- is that an ominous and what's on my mind. We posted it and the reason I was caution when -- all that is I didn't come through this ten day cacophony of glorification this. This this onslaught. When he was being that made out to be the saint or hero whenever I wanted to get right to appoint a license to decide the psychobabble. This man was a child molest and the warm -- own admission. He slept with young boys -- mean you know you walked when they've what you say to someone. If a grown man sleeps with -- young boys in his bed. If you pervert and I do not have on the people."

" We're so I don't inflatable jacket -- critical but it whether let me play -- up here as I wanna be fair and and I think that you know that we are fear here. Jackson was acquitted of what child molestation charge he did settle a civil suit -- settling -- doesn't mean you're admitting anything it just -- you wanna get out. -- right get rid of the people who know Jackson wells say he is the product of -- Arrested Development. That he is a child or was a child in his own -- I think that speaks to the way he conducted his wife. He was not an adult and an emotional way. He himself says that. He slept with children he admits it. -- only because he loved them and wanted to be close to them that if there was no. Sexuality involve us with Jackson is on record as saying so is it fair to us today. If he's not convicted of -- law is it fair to say he was a child molest."

" Bill I would say an adult male -- recruit young boys is a child -- if nothing else he's he's molesting and abusing this -- How those special -- possibly -- normal after spending nights in bed with Michael Jackson so. I would say also is not a daycare center in the United States will be allowed to hire him. I would anyone any sort of Mike clinics where they allow their child their grandchild. Two be in the same room with Michael Jackson along with Michael Jackson -- here we have to strip away a lot of it. There's a difference between eight -- for a conviction. And they admitted conduct I -- back and read or those columns by those articles right. -- north detailing the way have homes along engines. Bedroom in his mansion. -- those alarms on when he was with these young boys -- deviant lifestyle and to listen to the Michael Jackson died the coverage of basic coverage. I would have been fine but the way it went on and on this is wall to wall around the clock coverage. And the same time we've Americans dying in Iraq and Afghanistan we've the president in Russia trying to negotiate arms control nuclear arms control of it was a real reflection. On the culture of our country and I really are you -- a culture war bill. This to me I think the media and the political class and elite class fail they have real our culture. Pat Moynihan's book about defining deviancy down. They can't be you much more down than what Michael Jackson they would young boys and yet we -- of that over the last ten days a week it was wrong. Why you think the media played him as a hero. Perhaps it was political correctness. They get caught up in this Hollywood. Swirl I ended just it's sort of Fed on itself because no one wanted to just acknowledge the fact. What is -- was all about and I just think it was a really it's terrible failure by the media arguably. And I was saying what millions of Americans really felt."

" Thanks for being a stand -- guy coming congressman we appreciate it that's not right."
