Hank Williams Jr. Likens President Obama to Hitler, Renders Even Fox News Panel Speechless
by Free Britney at .Are you ready for some insanity?
When Hank Williams Jr. stopped by Fox & Friends this morning to discuss politics (absurd in itself), few could have imagined the views that the country music singer and longtime voice of Monday Night Football espouses.
Williams described this year’s “Golf Summit” between President Barack Obama and Speaker of the House John Boehner as “One of the biggest political mistakes ever.” Sadly, that was Hank's high water mark for intelligence:
When the co-hosts asked Williams to explain, he offered this scintillating insight: “Come on! Come on! It would be like Hitler playing golf with Netanyahu!”
To the Fox News panel's credit, they were clearly dumbstruck, turned off and unsure of how to respond to such an outrageous comment in a live interview.
Still, you have to question the wisdom of having this guy on your show in the first place. You can't find an intelligent conservative voice to talk politics?
Your take: Is Obama a socialist?
UPDATE: ESPN has yanked Williams, saying in a statement: "We are extremely disappointed with his comments, and we have decided to pull the open from tonight’s telecast."
UPDATE #2: ESPN has fired Hank for good. He dubiously claims he quit, citing a violation of the First Amendment, which is just a ridiculous statement. Either way, he's out.

You liberal idiots don't know what you're talking about all he said was that Barack Obama playing golf with Bohner was like hitler playing golf with neytanyahu because Obama is way left wing and bohner is right wing who are people who usually hate each other like hitler and a Jewish person playing golf (Netanyahu) get the fucking point Hank jr. Isn't a moron you people are the morons for not understanding what he meant
@danny cool story bro.. its funny how u wrote a whole thing but dont know crap about what u were talkin about. Hank wrote a whole song bashing george bush and horrible he was. But i guess only racist rednecks would know that right?
i think that espn is stupid for letting him go... i think that hank had every right to say what he wants.... i personally dont look down on hank but i do look down on espn now... i think that this world is in the dumps i think that there wasnt enough resarch done when the president was chosen to be in office and i think that this world has come down to everyone lieing so what is different if the president is doing it... i feel bad for the military familys and i feel bad for this world.. but i dont think that a country singer like hank should be let go for stating his opionion... so what he is famous... who cares he has a heart and he breaths the same air... he is no better than anyone else he is human if anyone else would have said this they wouldnt think nothing about it... you all are overreacting and it is crazy all i got to say is GO HANK!!!!!!
@ Danny: You call him a "redneck" and a "loser," but look at your post. You have no capitalization and your sentences run together, which tells me you are a loser pencil-neck, who's stupid to boot. Go fuck yourself and your ugly mother.
