If only it were 2007, it would have been perfectly acceptable, even applauded to call the President a Nazi, bad timing Hank.....

1) Curb Records is not a major media network.

2) I don't have that kind of authority on USMB, are you sure it wasn't Del ? ... :eusa_whistle:

3) The fake outrage of this reach is duly noted.....

Williams never called obama anything. He compared two enemies meeting in friendly circumstances. Since he made no distinction whatsoever, he could have been saying that Boehner was Hitler and obama was Netanyahu.

Democrats can't get any mileage out of that one, so they prefer to do what they always do, lie.
 
UPDATE: According to TMZ, Hank Williams released a statement claiming he was misunderstood: “Some of us have strong opinions and are often misunderstood. My analogy was extreme – but it was to make a point. I was simply trying to explain how stupid it seemed to me – how ludicrous that pairing was. They’re polar opposites and it made no sense. They don’t see eye-to-eye and never will. I have always respected the office of the President. Every time the media brings up the tea party it’s painted as racist and extremists – but there’s never a backlash – no outrage to those comparisons… Working class people are hurting – and it doesn’t seem like anybody cares. When both sides are high-fiving it on the ninth hole when everybody else is without a job – it makes a whole lot of us angry. Something has to change. The policies have to change.”

Oh well, continue the faux outrage. Carry on.

He went on to call the President of the United States, the enemy. And he called President Obama and Vice President Biden the "three" stooges.

So much respect, eh?

If he has "strong opinions" and is "often misunderstood", then he should either keep his mouth shut or strap on a pair.
So, anyone who disagrees with you better not talk.

Got it. :thup:
 
You are crazy. Hitler was evil before 1933. people died because of him before 1933, and you are crazy, bigrebnc.

Wililams was wrong. You are wrong to defend him. End of story.

Hitler did not show his true colors until after 1933

What world do you live in? You made the charge. Evidence it, then.
He can't.

btw, in 1919:

A typewritten letter that shows Hitler’s hatred of Jews – and his belief that they should be removed from Germany by a “ruthless government” – will be displayed to the public for the first time Wednesday at the Museum of Tolerance in Los Angeles.

Hard Right whining here for defending the indefensible.

Any business has the right to fire its employees for poor behavior. That is what happened here.

Yes, it was poor behavior toward the President, so, guys, get over it, huh?
 

What he meant to say was obama is the pre 1933 hitler, the hitler that came before the killing hitler,

When did hitler start killing jews? after all the laws he created wasn't it?

1) Espn is pretty major but okay then. Glenn Beck. FOX is pretty major.

2) Sure you do.

3) I'm not outraged. I think it's funny.

The Nazis were killing jews well before 1933. Even out of power during riots.
 
He also said Obama was the enemy.

So Hank thinks Hitler is the good guy?

Good times..good times. :thup:
Just as you would think Boehner is the "good guy".

At least we agree that Netanyahu is.

;)

In my world, Hitler is unspeakably evil and vile. He was a monstrous person.

Boehner and his allies are nothing like Hitler, si modo, you joke of a human being. Just grow up and stop making such stupid statements. Freaking moronic, for sure.
 
You may be ready for football, but ESPN is not ready to let Hank Williams Jr. open tonight’s game after his incendiary comment about President Obama on Fox News.
The country singer criticized the president’s recent “golf summit” with Republican House Speaker John Boehner. The singer told Fox & Friends that the meeting “would be like Hitler playing golf with [Israeli leader] Benjamin Netanyahu.”

Where'd his freedom of speech go?

Hank Williams Jr. pulled from ESPN after comparing Obama to Hitler | Inside TV | EW.com

Apparently the same place the Dixie Chicks' did.

He is as free as anyone, event he Dixie Chicks, to speak. But the public is just as free not to patronize his wares.
He was pulled not by the public but by partisans at ESPN who deliberately or ignorantly misconstrued his statement.

Yes, ESPN is a private entity with a right to hire/fire whomever they want to in their employ by the rules. That said, ESPN goes on to prove what a bunch of liberal hacks they are once more.

They are hacks because ESPN bosses believe that Hank transgressed decency?

Then, yes, by Fitz's thinking, they are hacks.
 
This thread is still going? Geeze.

No one infringed Hank's 1st ammendment right
No one infringed ESPN's right to fire someone for being stupid on the air.

What is the fucking big deal here?
