Calls mount for Psy's concert for Obama to be nixed after anti-American lyrics surface
NY Daily News ^ | 12/7/12 | RHEANA MURRAY

Fiercely anti-American lyrics from Korean rapper Psy have been unearthed just two weeks before the star is scheduled to perform for President Obama.

The “Gangnam Style” singer calls for U.S. soldiers to be killed in one song, prompting a short-lived petition to ax Psy from the bill at the Christmas in Washington celebration.

The petition had fewer than 500 signatures when it was pulled offline for violating terms, according to whitehouse.gov.

In 2004, Psy rapped on a South Korean metal band’s song, “Dear American,” at a protest concert, The Washington Post reported.

“Kill those f---ing Yankees who have been torturing Iraqi captives,” he said.

“Kill those f---ing Yankees who ordered them to torture.”

“Kill their daughters, mothers, daughters-in-law and fathers.”

“And I hope you will accept my apology”.
Apology not accepted.

I am in Korea every 12-14 months, sometimes more frequently. And, I have a fair number of Korean friends and associates in NY and LA.

My friends and associates range in age from mid-twenties to seventies. There are generational differences in attitude, of course, but they are almost all very thankful and pro-US. I like the country and the people although some aspects of the culture are pretty effed up from my perspective (especially business practice).

... just introducing the democrats new anti-American Anthem, all consistent with their leader.

This starts to addresses his Islam side of his marxo-mulim attitude, and his marxist trajectory is best explained in:
http://vimeo.com/52009124 , Agenda: Grinding America Down.

Then you can connect all the dots, cross the t’s and dot the i’s of his marxism. Every American needs to see this!

Maybe he’d be welcome at the White House if he’d just add a verse like, “Kill the effin’ Yankees serving at the US Consulate in Benghazi!”

I called the WH today and said I didn’t want this PSY Rapper to perform. I am a Mother of a Marine and National Guardsman who both served in Iraqi freedom and this deeply offends me. The gal on the phone said Oh my, I haven’t heard anything about this but I will definitely pass this on....

Hell - instead of carping about it, why not compile a “video” that comprises shots of them asking to kill our military and shots of Obama grinning and tapping his feet and clapping his hands to them.
