Dr. Conrad Murray -- No Hard Feelings
Dr. Conrad Murray -- No Hard Feelings
8/24/2010 5:45 AM PDT by TMZ Staff
Dr. Conrad Murray must have some pretty thick skin -- because sources close to the doc tell TMZ he's "not at all upset" with the people who were calling him a "murderer" on the way out of court yesterday.
We're told Doc Murray believes that everyone has a right to express their feelings ... even if he doesn't agree.
As we previously reported, several Michael Jackson supporters hurled insults at the doc as he left an L.A. courtroom yesterday ... right after Murray's legal team was granted access to MJ's fluid samples to aid in his defense in the involuntary manslaughter trial.
A rep for Murray's defense team tells us, "We're just happy there wasn't a blimp this time."

Of course Murray isn't offended. This is what he SIGNED UP for! <!-- s;) -->;)<!-- s;) -->
He must have some pretty thick skin, hmmm. Maybe because he's an actor playing his part in the hoax and he's wearing a disguise?? And of course he's not at all upset, he knows Michael is alive and well and "da troot will prevail"!...eventually.
Exactly. Not to mention, the "thick skin" thing reminds me of MJ saying he has "rhinocerous skin"...
BTW, that picture cracks me up. He looks like a kid that doesn't get what he want.
"For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places."lol and Murray's thumbsup pic... hehe reminds me of someone.
There seems to be conflicting opinions about Murray's case v MJ's case. Some say they're identical; a black man accused, tried and found guilty in the court of public opinion before a trial has even begun. History repeating itself.
But I get a different vibe. The two cases feel very different to me.
The media in MJ's case, had him guilty and locked away from day one. Never any positive reports.
In Murray's case most of what I've heard from the media are glowing reports from patients and random people he's helped on planes etc! They seem to want him to be innocent.
The media therefore are treating the accused men very differently and in both case they undoubtedly had/have great influence over the general public's views.
In MJ's case I was aware of his fans outside the court shouting his innocence and supporting him. There may have been others calling him paedo etc, but that isn't what I picked up from reports at the time.
In Murray's case they are calling him a murderer, not supporting him. I don't see any' Murray is innocent' placards etc.
Therefore certain MJ 'fans' are not viewing the two accused men in the same way at all and the general feeling outside court is very different.
I don't see this as history repeating itself at all. It seems to me the only ones who are involved in accusing, trying and finding a black man guilty in the court of public opinion before the actual trial takes place, are these 'crazy MJ fans', to use a well worn phrase!
Interesting to consider that they may just be playing their part too!
Everyone else just thinks Murray gave MJ drugs he needed to sleep and he had a bad reaction to them (as in he died!). Everyone, that is, except those who don't think he died at all!
I love Murray, I think he holds the key to such a lot in this whole saga. And I just love a good courtroom drama! So, 'no hard feelings' from me if it doesn't happen till 2011 or beyond!
What does that mean? When was there a blimp? Have I missed something? <!-- s:? -->:?<!-- s:? -->
Sorry if it's a silly question..
Isn't a blimp a hot air balloon? Maybe they mean the story about balloon boy at the time? When was that again? That was a big hoax.
"For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.""Blimp" can also mean "reactionary"
Thank you for explaining.
Also Murray's thumb could also be a backward 7, that everythings A-okay even perfect 7. This whole hoax has been about us investigating together as a team, expressing ourselves in freedom without fear of others belittling. The trees behind Murray have thick-skinned bark, just as MJ's rhinocerous skin, and we have to take a little deception and beating up here on the web too, in this ARG. <!-- s:) -->:)<!-- s:) -->
Colonel Blimp is a British cartoon character.
The cartoonist David Low first drew Colonel Blimp for Lord Beaverbrook's London Evening Standard in the 1930s: pompous, irascible, jingoistic and stereotypically British. Low developed the character after overhearing two military men in a Turkish bath declare that cavalry officers should be entitled to wear their spurs inside tanks.[1]
Blimp would issue proclamations from the Turkish bath, wrapped in his towel and brandishing some mundane weapon to emphasize his passion on some issue of current affairs. Unfortunately, his pronouncements were often confused and childlike.[2] His phrasing often includes direct contradiction, as though the first part of a sentence of his did not know what it was leading to, with the conclusion being part of an emotional catchphrase.[clarification needed]
Blimp was a satire on the reactionary opinions of the British establishment of the 1930s and 1940s, epitomized by Winston Churchill. Colonel Blimp has been called the representative of "all that [Low] disliked in British politics" - such as a perceived lack of enthusiasm for democracy.[1] Although Low described him as "a symbol of stupidity", he added that "stupid people are quite nice".
George Orwell and Tom Wintringham made especially extensive use of the term "blimps", Orwell in his articles[3] and Wintringham in his books How to Reform the Army and People's War, with exactly the above meaning in mind.
In his 1941 essay "The Lion and the Unicorn", Orwell referred to two important sub-sections of the middle class, one of which was the military and imperialistic middle class, nicknamed the Blimps, and characterised by the "half-pay colonel with his bull neck and diminutive brain". He added that they had been losing their vitality over the past thirty years, "writhing impotently under the changes that were happening."[4]
A more likeable version of Blimp appeared in the classic British film The Life and Death of Colonel Blimp starring Roger Livesey and Deborah Kerr. It was made in 1943, when the war was at its height, by Powell and Pressburger. The "Blimp" character was named Clive Candy and is not actually called "Blimp" other than in the title. Prime Minister Winston Churchill sought to ban the film due to its sympathetic presentation of a German officer (played by Anton Walbrook), albeit an anti-Nazi one, who is more down-to-earth and realistic than the central British character.
The character has survived in the form of a cliché phrase — highly reactionary opinions are characterised as "Colonel Blimp" statements.
In a recent book, historian Christopher Clark used the term "blimpish" to characterise the Prussian Field Marshall Mollendorf who distinugushed himself as an officer in the Seven Years' War but whose conservatism and opposition to military reform was considered to have contributed to Prussia's defeat in the Battle of Jena [5]
I was just going to post this as there was no Blimp at any of the hearings, it was a banner pulled by a plane.
