He was just trying to show how expansive his knowledge base is towards all things political, especially the part where he didn't like ANY of the Repub candidates, but liked Cain the best out of the lot. LOL

I hope there's a whole lot more Repubs like good 'ol Hank out there. We need every one of them, bless their hearts. whooo-weee!

See you in November liberal, see you there.

Care to make a wager liberal?

Hank looks to be about half in the bag, on a mission his contract with his agent demanded, one he doesn't like. So he plays surly redneck to the hilt. Not that he could actually play anything else, apparently, other than the guitar.

Just another mindless culture war hero who luvved the Sarah! & apparently hates golf. Better drop your membership at the country club, Spidey, get with the program, take an interest in something meaningful, like Nascar...

Faux News won't even mention this again.

Remember all the genuflecting and breaking news headlines over the Dixie Chicks? All they said was they was ashamed to be from Texas.

Guess we need to start the Hank Williams boycott. Oh I forgot that assumes you still have a career.

The bet was not offered to you. I only want broke ass liberal money.

So sorry, spidey, you have to look elsewhere, I'm an independent. Show me a Repub that truly cares for the middle class and the poor (as if) and I'd vote for that person without hesitation or regret.:)

Might as well say you'd vote for bigfoot if he'd come out of the woods.

LOL, Good one.:thumbsup:

I've voted for Repubs mostly in state and municipal elections. They tend to be more connected to the people than at the federal level.

I concur with this completely. While I don't even like the Dems much @ all, the GOP is a circus act. Who falls for that shit?

I'm sure Hank Jr. will become a new sensation for the Teabaggers and will probably lead off in the GOP convention, with Ted on guitar & Huck on bass.

I, for one, support Hank Williams Jr. making these comments. Not because I agree with them, but because the "Are you ready for some football?" song has gone well past the point of "meh" and right into "Jesus God this song is fucking annoying." Whatever it takes to get that nonsense removed from MNF is a good thing.

Dang it, Hank. Stop trying to fool all of us into thinking Obama is the modern day Hitler.



We already know he is in fact the Anti-Christ.

Obama = Hitler?

I thought he was a socialist? Or an illegal? Wait - now he is a facist who is out to take over the world, is responsible for murdering 6 million Jews AND wants the Aryan "race" to dominate? Make up your minds guys.

When one of the hosts of the morning show, Brian Kilmeade, said he didn’t understand the analogy, Williams responded, “Well, I’m glad you don’t, brother, because a lot of people do. They’re the enemy.”


Does this guy understand how analogies work? Shouldn't this inbred pile of vomit compare Obama to Stalin instead? Shitheads like this are always screaming communism. Stalin would be more appropriate. Or, did this barn yard buffoon just think he was "striking" a cord or some sorts, by pulling in Israel - which Obama is out to destroy I guess??

Looks like I really don't get it - but, that makes him glad. And as long as this chaw dripping idiot is happy, thats fine with me; may he live forever.

The only thing dumber than HW Jr.'s comments is the over-reaction of the response. Who expects intelligent commentary from some country music hillbilly anyway? And who the heck even watches Fox & Friends? The controversy is giving his comments far greater exposure than they ever would've received on their own.

Huh.
He didn't say Obama was Hitler, he was using Hitler to illustrate two people that have irreconcilable differences.

Benjamin was born in 1949 - Hilter was long dead by then. Wait,... Benjamin Netanyahu came across a Zombie Hitler, is that what you are telling me?!?! Holy crap,.. and Hank saw them,... playing golf together!! Or rather, Ben was defending himself against an attacking Zombie Hitler!!!shift+1!!!!!

I don't know what is worse; downplaying how a retarded hick isn't important in his comments or pretending this is a much smaller deal than it really is.

This asshole seems to be the spokesperson to every inbred moron that is worried about "that thar black fellar" in the white house.

Get over it guys, he was voted in. Don't vote for him in 2012, push for someone better to take over the presidency, from the Republican / Tea Party.

I am sure they will do a bang up job; by letting all the rich run wild/free, deport all your illegal manual laborers, export every single American job and invade every country/nation on this planet.

If you ask a drunk Country & Western, good ole boy, a question about politics, expect him to tell you! If you dont want to hear it, dont ask! This is real America where we dont apolagized for being an American. If people cant handle the truth, they should crawl back into their communist hell hole.

When you compare someone to Hitler or even use it as an example, it doesn't matter what you intended to compare. It’s always going to be taken for the world domineering killer of Jews. It’s a shit comparison for anyone. To say anything less is not being genuine.
