Reply #9: Who's a Rethug???

I'm a proud Democratic Socialist. I also think the odds are Jackson is guilty of something, be it out-and-out molestation or child endangerment. We WILL find out in the courts. But, until then, it is horrible judgement on his part to host a party for children while he's up on child molestation charges. It seems very much a f*ck you to everyone, and I guarantee he ignored legal advice NOT to have the party. Remember, after the first accusations a decade ago, Johnnie Cochrane told Jackson to watch the propriety of the things he did. You know, like average joes like us have to.

If I had a neighbor who was up for trial on these charges, and he had the arrogance to have a big Christmas party for kids in his backyard, I'd be like, uh-oh... Actually, that wouldn't happen, because my neighbor would be a poor guy making about $20,000 a year and would have been tried and thrown into prison two months after his arrest.

Remember, Jackson HAS been treated differently by the government because he is a celebrity. He's been treated better.
