WASHINGTON -- Chinese-born pianist Lang Lang gave a musical shout out to America-hating patriots in his homeland when he played at the White House state dinner last week.

During his performance, Lang tinkled the ivories with the famous anti-American propaganda tune "My Motherland" -- the theme song from the Chinese-made Korean War movie "Battle on Shangangling Mountain."

He played this tune upon Zero’s special request.

I do not understand the kerfuffle on this one. With who occupies the WH no surprise for me.

The 1956 film "Battle on Shangangling Mountain" depicts Chinese troops pinned down under enemy fire on the mountain. Then reinforcements arrive and the troops attack the US soldiers, whom the Chinese refer to as "jackals."

The song Lang played in front of Hu and President Obama includes the verse: "When friends are here, there is fine wine/But if the jackal comes/What greets it is the hunting rifle."

It was probably a special request from his hosts.

Disgusting that we have a performer doing a song supporting Communism and a Communist nation....that disrespects the USA....while on the USA shores

Thank the supporters of Free Trade with Communist China...and the Free Trade Commies....this stuff would have never have happened on our American soil if it was not for the treasonous Free Trade Commies and their policies of supporting Communist China.

Eugene Debs would be proud of the accomplishments of the Free Trade Commies.

They all sang it 'round the campfire at socialist summer camp when they were kids. Brings back some fond memories.

Did he get a “standing O” from the assembled Progressives?

And no doubt they would have played ghetto rap if given the chance as well.
