Are you ready for some football? Hank Williams Jr. isn't anymore.

The country singer and ESPN each took credit for the decision Thursday morning to ax his classic intro to "Monday Night Football."

No, just the libtards having fits. It was okay for them to outright call Bush Hitler and a nazi, but the minute any conservative mentions the word they go off the cliff.

And so am I! ESPN can kiss my A$$!

Oh please, the left has called & compared Pres. Bush to Hitler for years, and this is what sickens me, the DOUBLE STANDARD we have in this country.

The left & the media can trash any conservative (note how they trashed Palin and not a word was said), but let one conservative say anything about the left & it's front page news! BARF!

He isn’t the sharpest knife in the drawer, especially with his “Three Stooges” comment after naming two people, but the point is, he did not in any way compare Obama to Hitler.

He was set up by the next question.

Are you comparing 0bama to Hitler?

I believe he said "yes" to that question.

[mardi59]

Lucky you!! ;)

God bless him for doing the right thing and sticking with it. I also like a man who stands-up for his beliefs.

ABC is about to learn a lesson regarding who their MNF audience is.

Yup, you never go wrong if you just shut up and sing.

Never liked that obnoxious song much myself anyway.

Conservatives should boycott Monday night football, I know I will, F them.

Truthfully, I wish there WAS that gulf of disparity between Obama and Boehner.

Good point.

Are You Ready For Some HITLER!...

ABC is about to learn a lesson regarding who their MNF audience is.

I don't think they're worried. In fact, I wouldn't point to ratings as their next 2 games involve the Chicago and NY markets and will be higher than last weeks' crapfest with two small markets.

In an effort to declare that Obama is not a fascist, ESPN fired his accuser.

[sodpoodle]

****He compared to the disparity to Obama and Boehner to the disparity between Hitler and Netanyahu.****

The irony is that no-one thought he was comparing Boehner to Hitler!!!!!!!!!!!

That is HUGE! Subliminals not subtleties;)

Meanwhile, this is who the NFL wants for their Super Bowl Halftime Show

Madonna attacks John McCain with images of Adolf Hitler, Robert Mugabe

Monday night football is not available to me anymore since the government shut down reception with their HDTV. I used to get stations several states away. Now I can only get one station with the set top box and they don't carry my team. College games are now on inaccessible channels.

LOL! It's even worse than you know!

You can't get MNF at all on any channel of "free TV" anymore. It's only on ESPN - cable.

Agree or disagree w/HW Jr, I just can’t understand how entertainers allow their mouths to wander off into areas where there is literally nothing to gain. I’m talking from the purely selfish standpoint, preserving and maintaining one’s career. The Dixie Chicks had nothing to gain from dissing GWBush. Matt Damon has nothing to gain from dissing Sarah Palin. This guy gains nothing by ragging on Obama. It’s just dumb.

[rlmorel]

Heck, he probably tripped up on that and it came out wrong, because even someone who has partied hard enough and fallen hard enough to damage his body inside and out (as he has) still has that part of their brain (that we all have) that sends out alarm bells wondering why that reporter is asking that question.

He is the target du jour.

[Pharmboy]

He did NOT compare BHO to Hitler; he was making an analogy. Bill O’Reilly was the only talking head I saw make this point.

Apologize? When did Hank apologize?
I didn’t see or read about it and I do not belive he did any such thing.
