CBS Affiliate: Does South Korean Rapper PSY Hate America?

Thank goodness this isn't a ginned up RW outrage intended to smear Obama or anything...

Facts are facts. In 2004 some guy in South Korea sang a verse of the song "Dear America" by the South Korean rock band NEXT, a song he did not write, as part of a group of artists covering that song at a rally. And Obama was planning to see this guy perform... well, you don't have to be a Right Wing nut to see that this is a VERY BIG DEAL... but it would sure help.


Does South Korean Rapper PSY Hate America?

PSY has been taking over America with his surprise smash hit “Gangnam Style” but there’s new information on the South Korean pop star that will soon change his popularity among U.S. fans.

It turns out PSY has been involved in several anti-American protest performances. According to Mediaite.com he smashed a model U.S. tank while onstage in 2002 to oppose 37,000 U.S. troops that descended on the Korean Peninsula...

...PSY is slated to perform for President Obama for a Christmas In Washington special to air on TNT Friday, December 21. As a result, a petition to rescind his invitation has been created by outraged Americans for his anti-American song lyrics.

Looks like PSY’s 15-minutes of fame are just about over.

Its really fucked up that people are more outraged over some lyrics than the fact that we tortured and killed innocent people to begin with.

or just boiled it? And what was the seasoning used? I mean the conures might like some.

Bird eating cat, instead of cat eating bird.

He's not important enough to worry about. Just another guy who dances funny and has money.
