Dennis Rodman asks Kim Jong Un to let U.S. citizen go
By Holly Yan and Jethro Mullen, CNN

(CNN) -- If any American has the power of persuasion over North Korea's defiant young ruler, it might be eccentric ex-basketball star Dennis Rodman.

So when Rodman digitally called for Kim Jong Un to release U.S. citizen Kenneth Bae, he may have a shot at a response.

"I'm calling on the Supreme Leader of North Korea or as I call him "Kim", to do me a solid and cut Kenneth Bae loose," Rodman tweeted.

Bae was sentenced to 15 years of hard labor last month after he was convicted of unspecified "hostile acts" against North Korea.

how do you know jong Un didnt make Rodman swear to only use street talk with him? ya know he was the one fascinated with rodman jordan and the bulls. so he probably wants them to stay "in character" as he imagines them, at all times. Hes a strange guy from a strange family ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE

Something tells me that Rodman has a better idea how to appeal to Kim Jong Un than you do.

[Somtamnication]

It will be a huge embarrassment to the US if Kimmy actually releases the idiot evangelist.

So, yes, he will be released. I just hope he does not come to Thailand to preach about Jesus.

"I'm calling on the Supreme Leader of North Korea or as I call him "Kim", to do me a solid and cut Kenneth Bae loose," Rodman tweeted.

Reuteur's update. L'il Kim Jon Un just tweeted this reply.

" Cummin atcha from the Pyongyang Rollin's 60s Crips it's me Big Dawg Kimmy Kim and ready to bust a nuclear cap in the ass of any punk beeatch who comes a creepin....Northside aaight! P.S. A horrifying and painful death to the pestilent capitalist running dogs sons and daughters of sewer rats who fester and inhabit the South. Peace and I'm out"

Never underestimate the Worm. I think he's done a lot of good in befriending Mr. KJU. All that kid ever hears from are crazy generals who want to re-start the horror show on the Peninsula.

If Dennis pulls this off, I swear I'm voting for him for President. either that or move in to a cave on a mountain somewhere and contemplate my navel..

The focus here is on North Korea. And Kenneth Bae is a South Korean citizen too.

If Kim continues to hold Bae in a prison camp at hard labor, Kim impresses no one. If Kim takes Rodman seriously and releases Bae, Kim impresses no one. Either way, Kim looks like the nutcase he in fact is. Whichever way, Kim throws an air ball. (Sound of horn.) Edited May 8, 2013 by Publicus

You call risking your life to bring food, safety, and salvation to the suffering "idiotic"?

The ONLY people helping North Koreans escape to safety are South Korean missionaries (there have been a few documentaries on this), if you aren't lucky enough for one of them to find you in North Korea and help you to safety (REGARDLESS of whether you convert they help unbelievers escape at the risk of their own life because they care for other human beings).

Meanwhile you sit in comfort, without risking your life, criticizing the best amongst the human race, because your hatred of Jesus is so strong you'd insult these upstanding people who risked everything to help others.

Kim would have to practice his dunking and shooting skills on the 4 foot extended to 5 foot plastic Hasboro goal. Then again, his arms are so short I don't think he could hold the ball above his head to dunk.

Rodman may be soft in the head but he can go to a place such as N Korea to meet with the chief lunatic there because of what Harvard Prof Joseph S Nye in 1991 identified as American "soft power.' Soft power is the attraction of American culture to peoples around the globe. Kim loves basketball, as do the Chinese and many others.

American soft power includes music, movies, television, clothing styles and the like (jeans). In another reference to soft power, again from sports - this time baseball - your post is a swing of the bat at the pitch and a miss. Strike three, u're out! So go grab some bench.

I've seen this. Where the police or army surround a house in a hostage/siege situation and bombard them with Bon Jovi and Stevie Wonder records. Though that was soft rock.

Bon Jovi and Stevie Wonder do pansy music, enjoyable as it may be.

Noreiga holed up in the Vatican embassy in Panama City got AC/DC, Iron Maiden, Scorpion et al. That's 'cause the guy was hard core. The Vatican ambassador tried to surrender first, But we sent him back inside 'cause he wasn't the guy we were there after.

Noreiga came out before too much longer. We did attract quite an international expat crowd of all ages who thought there was a festival going on, swinging their T-shirts in the air, singing along and hopping about .

Rodman's latest tweet:

Ah'm asking y'all, Kim Jong Un with muh beeotch. Yo please release da prisoner what the xxx sup now? Yo make yo'self peep bad ta da world when you arrest foreigners an don't make me pull mah gat! Yo How 'boutit buddy? Make me peep like uh hero you know das right!

Arai wa? Hatred of who? Religious conversion is an attack on one's own culture, if it has never had that religion in the first place.

Case in point, Kao Lak, January 2005. Nice young evangelists handing out envelopes with cash to grieving victims if they proclaim Jesus as their saviour. Humm. Yes, nice people.

But we are straying from the main point: Evangelism as the saviour of North Korea, the world, galaxies and beyond...................

[Scott]

At this point, I think it is best if we focus on the topic of his release, rather than his religion. We do not have any reliable information of what he was/wasn't doing with regard to religion.

I believe you missed his point. No one else is getting actively involved. I am not particularly fond of holy rollers or evangelicals, but sometimes they are the only people that are willing to reach out and help someone. Have a look at big cities' most ravaged areas. Sometimes the only social outreach is from evangelicals. They are not just doing it to win converts but they are taking the teachings of their personal saviour to heart. Is that really such a bad thing?

I am not going to ridicule Rodman here because he is trying to help, knowing full well he will be publicly ridiculed for it. This isn't about Kao Lak, but about a South Korean being held as a political pawn.

Reading the Thai Visa crew trying to sound like Rodman reminds me of Leave it to Beaver's mom talking jive ... it's sort of creepy.
