I am about as liberal as they come, but I don't understand your "liberals love this stuff" comment at all. I would say "Typical conservative BS" but that gets old.
I don't think liking or hating Michael Jackson has a political leaning to it. Many like his music and despise the man (and of course, many like both and many despise both). Personally I thought he was a good musician 15 or so years ago and then got very creepy and weird.
I certainly hope the Acting Mayor of LA is right and that none of the expenses will be paid by the city.

mm..a double whammy.
or double my points.
Calif. is in deep debt yet over 2,000 extra policemen are being deployed?
A more CONSERVATIVE VIEW would say..let the family have a private funeral..send donations to a charity..?
MJ ...himself was in deep debt ..estimates range from 34-140 million $$ s
Yet liberals continue to HONOR THE MAN..
Not the musician.
A more conservative view would to consider his whole body of work ...drugs...lifestyle...and payoffs to make molestation charges go away...along with his music.
Either way a conservative would not HONOR him as some elderly statesmen who did not embellish anything conservative in his life.
He was a private citizen..not an elected official..statesman ..war hero..Pope...
He should be buried in private as he WANTED TO LIVE HIS LIFE.
Not to be used as commercial fodder for selling more records...promoting more tourism..and allowing TV networks to make huge money on his death.
A conservative thought..and I bet more of you agree with me on this.

Really odd that you would take a shot at one of your own Bill.   |

No, Reagan was white. His entire life, I think.

No, Reagan was white. His entire life, I think. I don't know. He sort of looked black in one of the movies with the chimp. |

Cities pay for all sorts of stuff. Los Angeles actually covered half the cost of the Lakers' NBA championship parade, with the team covering the other half. There haven't been any reports of the Jackson family offering to defray part of all of the security costs.
I don't know what else you can do. The family paid for the use of the arena and spent quite a bit on the cost of distributing the free tickets.

How the heck does this turn into a liberal issue? Bill, you're spewing rubbish and following the herd...you're not a sheep...you're a lemming running off the cliff on this one.

yes..shutting down an entire FREEWAY IN L.A. at RUSH hour for the benefit of the few...sounds VERY LIBERAL TO ME.
Jesse Jackson and AL SHARPTON MAKING HIM A CIVIL RIGHTS HERO....PRETTY LIBERAL THINKING.
Giving this guy a States funeral..when he PROBABLY DIDN'T WANT IT and the family is already trying to make money off of it..
all liberal ideas.
Make the rest of society pay for your LOSS..
VERY LIBERAL and so BLACK... DEMOCRAT.
I wonder how much money Calif. business lost because of this?
Time missed at work..deliveries missed...production slowed.
And Paul of The Beatles is more FAMOUS.

yes.. 1)shutting down an entire FREEWAY IN L.A. at RUSH hour for the benefit of the few...sounds VERY LIBERAL TO ME. 2)Jesse Jackson and AL SHARPTON MAKING HIM A CIVIL RIGHTS HERO....PRETTY LIBERAL THINKING. 3)Giving this guy a States funeral..when he PROBABLY DIDN'T WANT IT and the family is already trying to make money off of it.. all liberal ideas. Make the rest of society pay for your LOSS.. VERY LIBERAL and so BLACK... DEMOCRAT. 4)I wonder how much money Calif. business lost because of this? Time missed at work..deliveries missed...production slowed.  Hahah... them Liberals are hiding behind every corner! It's like The Church Lady. This is without doubt your funniest persona on VolleyTalk, but I don't see how you've been able to keep it going for so long. I would eventually crack under the pressure of maintaining that facade of contorted logic for more than a few months. So anyway, let's see: 1)Shutting down city services to celebrate someone's life? Check. 2) Posthumously appropriating someone's life and forcing it to fit a political agenda? Check. 3) Creating a huge amount of pomp and circumstance when the intended honoree might have disapproved? Check. 4) Halting production, shuttering businesses, missing deliveries? Check. Who knew the last 2000 years of christian church history was the souce of such massively "liberal" behavior? Considering the fact that preachers and churches have been cashing in on the death of Christ for twenty centuries, Michael Jackson kinda pales in comparison, eh? |

Wasting money in this economic crisis is liberal...hmm..then the Governor of SC should be switching parties soon after attempting to put his trip to see a lady love off on the voters?

is SC bankrupt?
Is Calif. Bankrupt?
Did The governor of SC cost his state millions in protection and production loss?
Did he money off of his affair?
and thanks for all those checks..yes I was right again...
3,320 + and counting
