I'm sorry, so sorry, that I was such a fool...
Singer apologizes for his past anti-US performances
Sun, Dec 09, 2012 - South Korean megastar singer Psy, famed for his runaway hit Gangnam Style, apologized yesterday for anti-US performances a decade ago, ahead of a planned show before US President Barack Obama.
In 2002 the singer smashed a model US tank at a protest over the US military presence in South Korea and the death of two South Korean teenagers who were struck by a US military vehicle. Two years later he joined a performance of a song where he used controversial expletive-laden lyrics calling for the killing of Yankees who have been torturing Iraqi captives. Kill their daughters, mothers, daughters-in-law and fathers. Kill them all slowly and painfully, he rapped.
Psy performed the lyrics at a concert after a South Korean evangelist was beheaded by Islamist militants in Iraq during the US-led conflict, after Seoul rejected their demand to halt a troop deployment to the country. I will forever be sorry for any pain I have caused by those words, the 34-year-old singer said in a statement.
He said the performance and lyrics were part of a deeply emotional reaction to the war in Iraq and the death of the two schoolgirls that was part of the overall anti-war sentiment shared by others around the world. While Im grateful for the freedom to express ones self, Ive learned there are limits to what language is appropriate and Im deeply sorry for how these lyrics could be interpreted, he said. I have been honored to perform in front of American soldiers in recent months including an appearance on the Jay Leno show specifically for them and I hope they and all Americans can accept my apology, he added.
News reports of the performances surfaced in the US days before the pop sensations planned performance at an annual Christmas in Washington concert today, which the Obama family is scheduled to attend. Psys Gangnam Style has become the most-watched video of all time on YouTube in just five months, garnering almost 906 million views. The video has inspired thousands of online imitations of Psys famous horse-ride dance, and flash mobs of tens of thousands in Paris, Rome and Milan.

Psy's anti Americanism is the reason he's performing at the white house.
K-pop star PSY once advocated slowly and painfully killing US soldiers
K-pop star PSY once advocated slowly and painfully killing US soldiers | TwitchyHe has the most-watched YouTube video ever (more than 900 million views), and is set to perform at the White House later this month.
Eight years ago, however, the Gangnam Style K-pop singer advocated the murder and torture of US military personnel and their family members.
HAPS, an English-language Korean magazine, says news of PSYs anti-American views have long been known in Korea, but only recently surfaced in the US.
The lyrics of the anti-US song performed live by PSY and several other popular Korean singers in 2004 (shortly after the US invaded Iraq) were first translated into English two months ago on CNNs iReport:
싸이 rap :
이라크 포로를 고문해 댄 씨발양년놈들과
고문 하라고 시킨 개 씨발 양년놈들에
딸래미 애미 며느리 애비 코쟁이 모두 죽여
아주 천천히 죽여 고통스럽게 죽여
PSY Rap:
Kill those fucking Yankees who have been torturing Iraqi captives
Kill those fucking Yankees who ordered them to torture
Kill their daughters, mothers, daughters-in-law and fathers
Kill them all slowly and painfully
PSYs anti-American views werent discussed when the K-Pop star appeared on Ellen.
Exit question: Will anyone in the mainstream media ask PSY if he still supports killing US soldiers and their family members?
Hat tip: Jon.
So?
Ice T portrays a cop on Law and Order SVU.
True.
But this is a deeper thing.
Americans killed several million Koreans during the Korean war.
To expect that the Koreans aren't a bit peeved about this..is magical thinking.

How about we not invite him into Americas house.
I guess he forgets that it is our American soldiers that keeps his country free. Great way to thank them..
To suggest a libtard would thank anyone for anything other than giving them some sexual service is very presumptive.
negged & put on ignore contard

Yet the right says nothing about Beck, a doll and a glass of fake urine.

Yes, because calling for the torture and murder of the families of American service members IS EXACTLY THE SAME as putting an Obama bobblehead in a jar of beer.
That would be Moonglow. He's more upset about Beck's mockery of the left than he is about PSY's comments.Yet the right says nothing about Beck, a doll and a glass of fake urine.

No they aren't. But you seem to think they are.
This is way more important than the fiscal dilemma we're facing.

It just another symptom of the failed leadership and arrogance of freaking Maobama. He wants to live like a rock star on our dime, while providing no value. I would bet he invited this ass hole because of his screwed up song, not in spite of it. Like he said in his book, he seeks out the radicals.

It's ridiculous to assert that Obama is anti-American, but I do agree inviting somebody to perform who has called for the death of U.S. soldiers is in bad taste. In all fairness though I'm sure the right wouldn't mind if Ted Nugent had been invited to perform by a Republican president. I could personally care less who performs at the White House... as long as it's not that Justin Bieber kid. I'm pretty sure he is the Antichrist.
So?

Tissue, my friend? Perhaps an entire box?
So what? Is he not entitled to his opinions?
Of course he is entitled to his opinions but someone who advocates the slow death of Americans shouldn't be feted at the White House.
Do you have the tiniest drop of common sense? I'm still waiting to see a speck of it manifest in your posting.
