There was a nice refutation of this in the WSJ Op-ed section last week.
Basically, the director of the NYPhil equated the brutal dictatorial regimes of NK and Mao’s China with the United States.
She looks like death riding a skateboard.
I am surprise that Helen would say anything that might be interpreted as praise for the Bush Administration.
She’s slipping.

Then again address it to hthomas@barkingmoonbats.com and it will go right through
So was Roger Clinton's performance in NK.
“But then President Bush is no Eisenhower. “
No more than you, Helen, are a reporter.......
All the symphonic, ballet and chamber music exchanges did not change the Cold War one whit. It did, however, make the New York liberals feel better and convinced them that detente (Kissinger-Nixon’s failed policy, adopted by Teddy Kennedy and his ratpack) was working.
She’s senile.
Music is a breakthrough which is followed by nothing except the feeling that maybe something good came of it is some sort of theoretical sense.
Helen, the brain-fog is thickening. Save yourself more public shame and GO AWAY. Hitler loved music too.
Bzzzzt... Wrong answer, Helen-of-get-a-clue... Among our enemies, state-initiated mass murder is the universal language. They count on useful idiots like you to support them in their efforts...
The money quote from the Queen of the Left. The Democrats won't be happy until all corrupt regimes have nuclear weapons. After all, it's only fair!
Helen, do you think they piped the music into the gulags for the political prisoners & their families could enjoy it?
Oh My eyes!
It’s nice to know that in the uber-liberal world of change ahead of us, President Obama will not use the “formidable power” of the US to decide which dictators can have “unconventional” (nuclear, BIOLOGICAL and chemical) weapons.
We’ll leave that “formidable diplomatic power” up to the UN.
Who’s the UN Human Rights Committee Chair next year? Robert Mubage? Raoul Castro? Hugo Chavez?
For surely if the KN’s and Iranians and Syrians play around with, say, smallpox or aerosolized anthrax, they will never use it against US if President Obama just talks to them for a change. And if they use it against Israel- well- maybe they have the right because didn’t Israel kill Rachel Corrie and other innocent Palestinian children playing on bomb dumps in cold blood?
Barrrrffffff
Hmmm, a strategy that seemed to work pretty well for Ronald Reagan, don't you think, Helen?
Honestly, it amazes me that anyone is actually willing to pay this old crow for her brainless drivel.
Gee, Helen, why don’t we send them a couple of nuclear plants and boatload of food and oil? That’ll be a breakthrough.
Oh yeah, your buddy Bildo did that already—worked real well, didn’t it?
Helen, do me a favor—write to Chia Head for me—tell him I want the USS Pueblo back.
From Wikipedia:
North Korean pop music is light and optimistic, usually performed by a young female singer in front of a large band. All music is in praise of Kim Jong Il, or otherwise the ideals of Communism, and songs have titles like “Our Life Is Precisely a Song”, “We Shall Hold Bayonets More Firmly” and “The Joy of Bumper Harvest Overflows Amidst the Song of Mechanisation”.
Maybe Madeleine Allbright will attend the concert. I understand she’s particularly partial to North Korean cuisine and likes the quality of champagne and cognac they serve. Helen might like to go with her; I’m sure they’ll have a big time.
