Country music singer Hank Williams Jr. compared President Obama to Adolph Hitler in an awkward interview Monday morning on Fox and Friends. Williams called the golf summit the president had with Speaker of the House John Boehner “one of the biggest political mistakes ever.” “It would be like Hitler playing golf with Netanyahu, OK?”
Williams appeared on the program to share his thoughts on politics, but the segment got weird early on as the country music star curiously sulked with his arms crossed.
Anchor Gretchen Carlson asked Williams who he liked in the GOP race, which he replied “Nobody.” A shocked Steve Doocy exclaimed, “Nobody!?”
This triggered Williams to bash Obama and Boehner’s golf game and compare the president to Hitler. All three Fox and Friends anchors sat nonplussed in utter bewilderment.
”Yeah, I don’t understand that analogy, actually,” responded a perplexed Brian Kilmeade.
“Well, I’m glad you don’t, brother, because a lot of people do,” Williams snapped. “You know, they’re the enemy. They’re the enemy.” Kilmeade was thrown for a loop. “Who’s the enemy?”
“Obama!” Williams thundered.
Following the bizarre interview, Carlson disavowed the comparison of the president to the Nazi leader. “I just want to say that we disavow any of those comments or analogies that he’s made, at least I’m going to say that, disavow the analogy between Hitler and the president.”
Watch Williams’ interview with Fox and Friends below:
Obama is nothing like Hitler.
He’s like Mussolini.
Country music: 3 chords and the truth. :-)
Maybe even Conservative entertainers should keep their mouths shut. This helps nobody, nothing.
Their squirming at his comments are very telling. I’ll say it again: Fox is not conservative. They are just less liberal than CNN.
At least he didn’t say Zero should be beheaded.
The man doesn’t mince his words. I respect that.

Hank Williams Jr - Red, White and Pink-Slip Blues
—This helps nobody, nothing.—
I’m not so sure, either way. Reminds me of a certain wall street comentator’s floor rant that gave us the TEA party.
Sometimes you need someone to say out loud that the emperor is wearing no clothes.
But I WOULD be a lot more comfortable with him comparing Obama with Mussolini. He’s really not very much like hitler (though his followers, in their attitudes, are very similar to hitler’s followers).
“I just want to say that we disavow any of those comments or analogies that he’s made,”
...I wonder how many time this little a-hole “disavowed” comments made about Bush. And they were waaaay worse than Hitler comparisons.
I heard him drop the ‘H’ bomb this morning.
Ah yes, reminds me of a nursery rhyme.
Whistle why you work,
Hitler is a jerk,
Mussolini bit his wienie,
Now it doesn’t work.
How many people would know who Mussolini was?
“Maybe even Conservative entertainers should keep their mouths shut. This helps nobody, nothing.”
yeah but some conservatives will push him to run for office and after the election they’ll blame Karl Rove for his loss.
Are you ready for some FUBO?
How many times was Bush compared to Hitler on TV??
Hundreds? No controversies about those.
“But I WOULD be a lot more comfortable with him comparing Obama with Mussolini. He’s really not very much like hitler (though his followers, in their attitudes, are very similar to hitler’s followers).”
Communists hate the nazis. They’ll say over and over how much they hate the nazis.
So just call them communists.
In the new “sensitive” and politically correct Amerika, a better analogy would have been a cute little, fluffy bunny playing hide and seek with Wile E. Coyote. Always keep it within the realm of rainbow farting unicorns.
Yeah, brush it off like they do. Hank Jr. is close enough for all this SOB is doing.
one corporatist is like another...
