he told the truht about both that is what Hitler was so nobody can get mad at that...as far as the killers he was right too obviously something in their life went wrong you dont just go off killing people unless something really went wrong in your life

Ok first of all, i don´t praise hitler at all but i do understand what mj says about it. I self are a gipsy and trust me i hate hitler more than anything but hitler was a damn genius who could let 100000000000 of ppl to kill jews , gipsys ect ect . Hitler had the world in he´s hand so yes i understand what mj says about that it doesn´t mean that he praise him in a good way. MJ was all about love...

Well to be honest he is right, Hitler was a great orator and got people interested in him and his views but whether he was truly evil or not is still yet to be known, but good he was not. It's the whole Nazi party that should be more hated.

This is gettin ridiculous. The press keeps trying to tarnish this man and twist his words. To me it did not sound like praise but like he felt bad for the man and felt he could if he could have had the chance he would have sat him down and tried to figure out what went wrong. MJ saw the good in everybody no matter what evil they did and he truly believed he could help people which there is nothing =wrong with that. We need more people in the world to see good instead of judging bu the bad they've done! peace an love always for MJ!

he wasn't praising any evil doer, but he was naive or vain or sth to think he could change them

I think MJ is right...to have a revolution, to have people believe you and follow you the way people did Hitler, you must be a charismatic personality. That doesn't make him any less evil. Satan is very charismatic, too.

1. IN ALL HONESTY, HE WAS RIGHT. HITLER WAS A GENIUS ORATOR AND PERFORMER BECAUSE HE TURNED HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE AGAINST EACH OTHER. HE WASN'T PRAISING HIM...JUST POINTING OUT A CHARISMATIC TRAIT.
2. I DON'T SEE ANYTHING WRONG WITH WANTING TO TALK TO PRISONERS, NO MATTER WHAT THEY DID. IF YOUR DAD OR CLOSE FRIEND WAS IN JAIL FOR MURDERING SOMEONE, WOULDN'T YOU STILL WANT TO TALK TO THEM...TELL THEM YOU LOVE THEM?
AND PUTTING A 10-11 YEAR OLD IN PRISON FOR LIFE ISN'T HELPING THEM, NOR IS THE DEATH PENALTY. THAT'S LIKE SAYING "HEY, YOU KILLED SOMEONE. TAKE THE COWARD WAY OUT. ROT IN JAIL OR DIE." PERSONALLY, THEY SHOULD HAVE PUT THOSE CHILDREN THROUGH SOME PSYCHOLOGICAL TESTING AND PINPOINT WHAT WENT WRONG. TEACH THEM RIGHT FROM WRONG...AND THEN MAKE THEM ADVOCATE SO SOMETHING LIKE WHAT THEY DID NEVER HAPPENS AGAIN.
TO ME...MICHAEL WAS JUST DOING WHAT HE FELT JESUS WOULD HAVE DONE AND I'M ALL FOR THAT.

so, we all know that Adolf was exactly that. So Michael said the sam ethings. Why are you trying to say something that is nnot there? "alleged to have praised Nazi tyrant Adolf Hitler in a shocking interview - branding the evil dictator a "genius" and a "showman." refers to his speeches and stage presence... Typical rubbish media report

He also called him the devil a few paragraphs before that. But The Sun won't print that bit will they. Here
''SB: So what arguments did you have for people when you were Pioneering when they told you that they were atheists?
MJ: I tried to bring out the miracles of life, the children, look into their eyes, our bodies, how it all works just right, this can’t happen on its own, come on, no way. Then there are the questions I have .... I don’t understand how all that injustice takes place. Why didn’t something in heaven stop the Holocaust or some of the great genocides that happen in the world, from the lynchings and slavery, to all the great problems, to Stalin, to....? I hate to say this but Napoleon too. He gets praised for all his genocide [I assume Michael means all the wars he caused], whereas Hitler gets called the Devil, which he was. But they both did the same thing. But one was doing it for his country and the other one was too! There are statues of Napoleon.

The Rabbi said mj despised hitler so stop tryin to twist his words. e was right wat he said. he didnt like hitler he despised him. as for wanting to help the boys who killed bulger, i cant agree with him sayin that, that was silly foehim to say. but people do forgive those who kill their own kids. mj just didnt think children could really be evil. n lockin them up doesnt help

He was alarmingly intelligent and compasionate. I love to listen to him speak about different things and give his perspective on it, cause he always shows me the simplicity in something or the beauty and the pain as well. He always spoke from his heart and I love that about him. Love you more Mike...
