Now, as you can see the highlighted words above, who say, exactly? I've seen alot of people (ATSers and the public in general) taking rumours and
using them as facts, what was our motto again...ah yes, deny ignorance.
Since when did I say anything of my post above was fact? I was merely giving an opinion. "They", was the media. Do you live in the U.S.? This
was speculation from the start! I never said, "It's a FACT that his fans were paid!"
courttv.com...
Excert:
Hundreds of fans from around the world will be on hand for Michael Jackson's arraignment Friday to support the pop icon facing child molestation
charges, his brother, Jermaine, and other supporters said Monday in Encino, Calif.
"We feel the district attorney has a personal vendetta against Michael, and we want to make sure he knows we will not accept that," said Najee Ali,
one of the coordinators of the "Caravan of Love," which will transport fans from southern California and Las Vegas to the courthouse in Santa
Maria.

Well, they (fans, btw) sure didn't PAY to be transported! Fans transported from southern California and Las Vegas? I sure would see this as being
PAID! They did get a free trip, didn't they (again, "THEY = FANS")
So, Ladycool, do you ever give opinions on this site? Or do you simply 'cut and paste'?
You're right, "Deny Ignorance", LadyCool!
(BTW, when I state anything as FACT on this board, it will be followed up with links and appropriate quotes! Notice the "IMHO" at the end of the
above paragraph. That means "In My Humble Opinion")
