Media twisted, out-of-context LIE: "Michael Jackson said Hitler is a genius!"

[Triana]

THE TRUTH: Michael Jackson described Hitler as a >>>> "genius orator" <<<<.

He reportedly told Rabbi Shmuley Boteach (who is an opportunistic schmuck but I digress): "Hitler was a genius orator. To make that many people turn and change and hate, he had to be a showman and he was." Jackson also claimed that he could have reformed Hitler if he had spent time with him. "I know I could," he said, adding that no-one is evil: "You have to help them, give them therapy, teach them that somewhere, something in their life went wrong."

NOW. I don't think I agree about giving Hitler therapy. I think he was as evil as they come. BUT - this shows how the MEDIA twists things out of context for sensationalism - and they do so with celebrities JUST LIKE they do so with political issues - which we've seen here time and time again - taking things out of context, twisting them around, to manipulate public opinion for or against an issue - or person. WHY does anyone believe anything they say? About MJ - or anything ELSE? Duh.

Wanna be ignorant? Listen to the media. Dateline, ET, Insider (tabloid trash shows) and ANY lame$tream media - which all of the aforementioned are part of. They have blood-sucking bottom-feeders like Diane DEMON, Rabbi Schmuck, and Martin Batshit on to talk about MJ. And all of these dirtbags - AND the media, seeking to ca$h in on the guy's death now that he can't defend himself against their rediculous claims. Oi...and ignorant sheeple watch and believe them with abject idiot glee.

Wow.

Just. Wow.

1. Just another example of the Idiocracy & Dumbth infesting the USA

Fact: Hitler was a smart man. But after being refracted through the media's lens of vilifying anything academic or any talent which exists outside the TV studio or football field, a fact cannot simply exist on its own without some hidden meaning. In this case, observing that Hitler was a good speaker obviously means the person making that observation must himself be a Nazi.

The CorpMedia has beaten empiricism over the head and it is near death.

As an aside that is exactly why I didn't like the Bush=Hitler comparisons. Hitler was a brilliant orator and military strategist; Bush was a buffoon.

2. and he could paint, speak in whole PARAGRAPHS, was NEVER "misunderstood" or "mispoken"

and we could go on...all bush* and Hitler had in common was their EVIL.

4. And * couldn't even do evil well.

In fact I can't think of anything he was actually good at. He was a lousy pilot, lousy speaker, lousy reader, lousy writer, no real sense of humor, didn't build things or use tools, AFAIK didn't play a musical instrument or do any kind of art. He couldn't even ride a bike without hurting himself or someone else. I guess he was a pretty decent fisherman, but since most of fishing involves sitting quietly and waiting, I can see how he would be.

5. LOL!

A decent fisherman. :)

3. People confuse the word 'genius' with 'good'.

A lot of evil is caused by people who can speak well and/or are very intelligent.
