Dennis Rodman Goes Nuts on CNN about N. Korea
I'm surprised there isn't any talk of this on ISH.
Here's the entire feature:
[url]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=saLuAF2WBt0[/url]
It gets heated at 14:41 and Rodman goes off when asked about Kenneth Bae (US citizen imprisoned for 15 years on bullshit claims by ridiculous N. Korea policies).
Does anyone fully understand what he's saying? A lot of it sounds [URL="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XXT6wfeo_V8"]like this[/URL].

Re: Dennis Rodman Goes Nuts on CNN about N. Korea
Rodman is emotionally sensitive, and a social outlier. Any alpha-personality reporter is going to be well aware of this, and they are a piece of shit if they try to prey upon Rodman and pick him apart. I blame the CNN reporter for deliberately pushing his buttons. The reporter wanted this to happen and lead the conversation to go that route, it wouldn't be news if Rodman just said something PC. **** CNN and **** that reporter.

Rodman must be pretty naive to think CNN wasn't going to touch the Kenneth Bae topic or go 'easy' on him about it.

Re: Dennis Rodman Goes Nuts on CNN about N. Korea
I think the interviewer went overboard first. I think it's important that we first build a friendly cultural tie (whether for political reasons or not) with DPRK. To bring up a political issue like Kenneth Bae's detainment in a cultural exchange is just disrespectful, and showing we are doing everything with an intention.

I'm sure he was informed in advance, and he and everyone around him knew from prior experiences they were going to push him, but it doesn't matter when you've got an easy tipping point. It's like telling someone with a short temper to control it, easier said than done when that's just how you are. When you're sensitive to begin with much less while being emotionally invested in what your doing (believe me, what Rodman is a part of is BIG he's involved in barrier breaking activities that no politician could sniff and he knows it) there's not many ways he's capable of reacting when getting preyed on by some quick witted alpha reporter who wants to take every advantage of him possible. Rodman isn't a quick thinker and he is an emotional softie. CNN is trying to make a mockery of him for both their political agenda and for news ratings. That shit is evil and uncalled for, **** them.

Well Rodman opens himself up to criticism when he pretty much prostitutes himself for a dictator. He should understand that its a hot button topic that will never stick to solely basketball. That being said I didn't realize Kenneth Bey's been in prison for 15 years. That's a bitch move to put that on Rodman considering I'm sure there are lots of Americans that have traveled to North Korea in the last 15 years why should it be on Rodman?

My thoughts exactly. I had flashbacks to Macho Man Randy Savage.
And the guys in the back totally had a "WTF did I get myself into?" look on their faces.
Rodman totally is not the guy to do what he is doing. Charles Smith was able to talk clearly and clearly communicate that they are not there for politics. Rodman on the otherhand appears to be avoiding questions that make him uncomfortable rather than simply saying "I do not plan to ask about the prisoner because I am a basketball player and that is not my role" or "I will discuss it if the situation calls for it" or any number of answers that actually address the question.

Exactly. They're interviewing a guy that wore a wedding dress to his own autobiography promotion. But they're not doing this so much for legitimate reasons so much as for RATINGS.

Re: Dennis Rodman Goes Nuts on CNN about N. Korea
That interviewer is terrible. Rodnans got known mental issues and he just baits him into snapping when we all already know rodman is like that. They also cut him mid sentence to acommercial break and talk over the top of them. I also think it's a stretch to claim RRodman accused bae of anything he seemed to be more asking if they guy had the facts about why he is imprisoned (which likely is for no reason but rodman an isn't the best speaker). Shiuld have at least asked more questions and gotten info on their experience there and tried to inform them more.
I don't think they should be there right now but still that interviewer was an idiot

If you guys knew jack about North Korea you'd know Rodman, as crazy as it sounds, more or less is the perfect key for the lock.
North Koreans (at least the ones the country tries to showcase as 'ideal' and of high political status) all appear to be emotionally invested and sincere in what they believe, and they are drawn to charisma. Thus, Rodman. They do not respond well to quick witted, sharp tongued American politicians and journalists, heck they do not really believe in free speech and the open right to question or criticize their powers that be. Their dear leader is like a god to them. (Again, I'm talking about the high status North Koreans in power... not the poverty striken majority being controlled, imprisoned, etc)
Rodman, being emotionally driven, is a guy who will respect their passion and sincerity. Rodmans heart can be, and is, in this without ulterior motives. Rodman can truly become 'friends' with people over there. The North Korean political party can pick up on this. Can any other ****tard politician or journalist say that? If that reporter who badgered Rodman tried to put himself in Rodman's shoes and act as a voice of the American people he'd be executed by firing squad at dawn. North Koreans don't tolerate that kind of (as they call it) 'Imperialist Aggressor' attitude.
Now, that's not to say the North Korean's are good guys here. The ones in power treat the ones NOT in power in that country like sh*t. We all know this. However, we'll never get anywhere without force (bad idea) or diplomacy. Rodman appears to be the best key we've ever had to entering their doors, Rodman at this moment, represents our key to diplomacy.

Well lets agree that there are two ways of looking at it, your way and then CavaliersFTW way. I agree with him a bit, I think it's way better than no contact with N. Korea, no presence of foreigners on their soil, no exposure of the world, etc.

Rodman is probably crazy enough to believe this. But I'm sure the pitch for the interview to Charles Smith was more on the lines of "We're just want to hear about the type of work you guys are doing in North Korea. Maybe some info on your global efforts etc..."
Then gets sideblinded by "Why are you supporting a tyrant!?!" to Dennis and pretty much ignored by the interviewer.

If he is lucky.
Chances are he will be sent to camp 22, where he wont be allowed to die.
Kim killed his uncle because his uncle was a threat, he had to finish him quick. No such risk with rodman
And anyone defending Rodman on this is crazy.
He has basically called the worst dictator alive a good person.
Either he is incredibly ignorant of who the kim family is, and how they have basically enslaved a nation, or he knows about it and chooses to be friends with arguably the worst person alive.

Rodman can bend over and take it up the ass from Jong-un as much as he likes, doesn't mean we all have to applaud him for being a little bitch. When idiot celebrities go trying to be buddy-buddy with dictators who prop up these morons for propaganda purposes, they deserve to get shit on.
