Hank Williams Jr. Likens Obama To Hitler (http://www.realclearpolitics.com/video/2011/10/03/hank_williams_jr_likens_obama_to_hitler.html)

Quote
ESPN has dropped Hank Williams Jr. from opening Monday Night Football tonight after Williams' controversial comments Monday about President Obama. >>>

Countrysinger Hank Williams Jr. likened President Obama and John Boehner's playing golf a few weeks ago to Hitler and [Israeli PM Benjamin] Netanyahu. >>>

Although ESPN has a policy about its on-air personalities getting involved in politics, Williams has said he's interested in running as a Republican in 2012 for a U.S. Senate seat in Tennessee.

Isn't it interesting that while Williams simply mentioned Hitler and Netanyahu as an example of political polar opposites, it is the media who have automatically concluded that Obama must be the "Hitler" (and not the "Netanyahu"). Libs always squeal the loudest when the shoe fits.

...and the DUmmie choir starts to sing.

Don't say nothing bad about my baby (Oh, no)
Don't say nothing bad about my baby (I love him so)
Don't say nothing bad about my baby (Oh, don't you know)
Don't say nothing bad about my baby
He's good (He's good)
He's good to me (Good to me)
And that''s all I care about.

What does everyone think of Hank Williams Jr's new song about Fox and the media?

Whining or badass?

as a bocephus fan... it sucks
its not about the whining either. whine all you want if your a songwriter.
every year that goes by, hank's talent (performing/writing) diminishs.
i just saw him in august. he spent a lot of time bragging about his all his years doing the MNF thing. everywhere he did that song over the years. he made it seem that that song defined his career. well to me, for the last 20 years it was his career cause its all he did that was worth a shit. give me a 1985 concert over anything he wants to do nowadays.

for the record, john anderson opened for him. mr "everything i do sounds the same and im too old to be physically entertaining" performed better than bocephus.

Yeh, I love him but this morning I heard his tell off song and thought it was rather bitchyfied.  He is not doing himself any favors.

I heard it on Beck this morning.  The part I didn't much care for was calling out Fox & Friends.  Somehow, it doesn't belong in a song.  It takes away the effect he was going for, and ends up whiney.

Why did Fox dump him?  I would have thought they would have kept him on.  Anyone know?

They just mis-interpreted what he said.  Brian took the analogy (Hitler golfing w/ Netenyahu) literally.  Beck told Brian "you're smarter than that."

Hank's fried too many brain cells.

But compared to the lies that Obama tells and the sheer damage Obama has done to this country, the Hitler comment was just marginally out of line.  Obama just hasn't killed any Jooooos yet.  He wants to, though, and his foreign policy will lead to dead Jooooos.

Are you ready for some kick-ass???

Hank Williams ain't going down meekly, he's on bigtime offense.

He even penned and sang a song on Friday; today, it's the number one download in the USA called "Keep the Change."

The one thing that I've been trying to figure out is how Fox and Friends twisted his opinion all around.
