Even when Saddam Hussein was hanged, they weren't spouting rage-filled articles about him. The guy who ordered hundreds if not thousands of people killed and oppressed Iraq for several years. Slightly worse than MJ, I think. |
That's because no one is defending Saddam because they liked some facet of his life. If someone started an "I love Saddam Hussein" thread, you bet I would be in there doing the same thing.
What bothers me about the whole MJ thing, is if he was the CEO of Walmart, and lived the exact same lifestyle, he would be universally hated. But because this guy did something people liked, a segment of society does not hold him accountable for his actions.
I think it's disgusting that just because you make a lot of good records, your allowed to get away with horrific acts in the eyes of some people.
Just something I feel strong about, and MJ is the biggest example of it that I can think of. Roman Polanski would be another example.
