Good Gawd man you can’t say such a thing about the Messiaah.

Have you lost your mind.

Who do you think you are David Allan Coe?

Gonna buy more Hank Jr. stuff now!

My daughter got me a tee-shirt at a Hank Jr concert that says:

I'LL KEEP MY FREEDOM MY GUNS MY MONEY MY RELIGION AND YOU CAN KEEP THE "CHANGE". signed: Hank Williams, Jr.

I wear it often.

I’m glad that I’m not the only one who noticed this. It seems like the fact of what he actually said was somehow “missed” (sarcasm).

This is another example (like Rush) of the feminized pansies falling victim to political correctness.

Williams did NOT compare Obama to Hitler. He used an analogy of Hitler and Netanyaho to illustrate how politically polarized he thinks Boehner and Obama are.

It was Gretchen or someone who made something out of that question. I knew the minute she emphasized it that he was out.

You're right, it was Gretchen who caused the whole thing. Hank was there to talk about the CD and it was she who caused it all. And what really disappointed me was Brian with his deer in the headlights! You know his earpiece was going nuts. Fox and Friends has really let me down today.

Stupid Gretchen Carlson and Stupid Stupid ESPN.

An analogy, I believe is what this is called. He was comparing relative relationships. Not a person to a person.

Liberals are so ignorant. No wonder one can never explain anything to them. A liberal understanding logic would be like an caveman understanding calculus. Oops, did I say that liberals were cavemen?

ESPN fired Hank, Not the NFL. ESPN, it should be noted, formerly employed the human excrement that is Keith Olbermann. Food for thought.

hmm...I can’t tell from that line if the Hitler reference was supposed to reflect more on Boehner or Obama. Did the media just assume it was Obama?

Stupid Gretchen Carlson

I have always thought she is stupid. She might have book learning smarts, but no common sense. Actually I think she is dim-witted and slow to catch on. The Fox and Friends morning show has been less interesting ever since she came on. And at times I find her words to her co-hosts actually cruel and often very snippy. I think, behind the scenes, she probably acts like a diva and must have known someone to get the job. Something about her is just plain phony.

Mind if I borrow that T-shrt that reads: “ I’LL KEEP MY FREEDOM MY GUNS MY MONEY MY RELIGION AND YOU CAN KEEP THE “CHANGE”. signed: Hank Williams, Jr. “ from time to time?

Maybe Hank Jr. and Ray Stevens could team up for a few video/songs? Wearing those T-shirts, of course.

Williams did NOT compare Obama to Hitler.

He most certainly did, albeit indirectly. Invoking "Hitler" to make a moral statement is so passe as to be meaningless were it not for the fact it can get one fired in a heartbeat. The mere fact the two names appeared in the same context is enough to drive PC wussies into cognitive contusions. Perhaps that was Williams' aim.
