No one seemed to mind when famous people made terrible comments about George W. Bush. Our divider-in-chief should tell ESPN that people have the freedom to express their feelings in this country. Obama's job creation count is MINUS one more.

JR. should reciprocate by pulling their license to his song "Are You Ready For Some Football"

Must have the same brand of butt lickers at ESPN as in the White House. Never a word out of these righteous folk when it comes from a socialist. Too bad they can't stick to sports and STAY THE HELL OUT OF POLITICS.

“No one seemed to mind when famous people made terrible comments about George W. Bush.”

I agree, and I like HW Jr, but publicly calling 0bama — or any other occupant of the WH “Hitler” is going to draw repercussions. Williams should’ve thought a couple steps ahead before making that comment. ESPN exercised a business decision in dropping him.

Remember, the Dixie Chicks’ careers were (rightly) never the same after they caused that flap with their comments about Bush while in London.

Normally the “shut up and sing” does apply.

However, Fox had him as a guest on their show “Fox and Friends” not to sing, but to talk.

They have a right to pull the song, but first, they are lying - he didn’t say Obama was like Hitler. Second, if someone you invite onto your talk show says something you don’t like, it’s petty to lie about it and then because of the lie of yours, slam them by messing up their business relationship.

They have a right to do it, and I have a right to say I think they are petty stupid liars.
