Hank Williams Jr. Likens Obama To Hitler In Uncomfortable Fox and Friends Interview
MEDIAite ^ | Oct. 3, 2011 | James Crugnale

Country music singer Hank Williams Jr. compared President Obama to Adolph Hitler in an awkward interview Monday morning on Fox and Friends. Williams called the golf summit the president had with Speaker of the House John Boehner “one of the biggest political mistakes ever.” “It would be like Hitler playing golf with Netanyahu, OK?”

Williams appeared on the program to share his thoughts on politics, but the segment got weird early on as the country music star curiously sulked with his arms crossed.

Anchor Gretchen Carlson asked Williams who he liked in the GOP race, which he replied “Nobody.” A shocked Steve Doocy exclaimed, “Nobody!?”

This triggered Williams to bash Obama and Boehner’s golf game and compare the president to Hitler. All three Fox and Friends anchors sat nonplussed in utter bewilderment.

”Yeah, I don’t understand that analogy, actually,” responded a perplexed Brian Kilmeade.

“Well, I’m glad you don’t, brother, because a lot of people do,” Williams snapped. “You know, they’re the enemy. They’re the enemy.” Kilmeade was thrown for a loop. “Who’s the enemy?”

“Obama!” Williams thundered.

Following the bizarre interview, Carlson disavowed the comparison of the president to the Nazi leader. “I just want to say that we disavow any of those comments or analogies that he’s made, at least I’m going to say that, disavow the analogy between Hitler and the president.”

One thing for sure that he said was a fact. That “they’re the enemy”, meaning Obama, his administration, and his cohorts the libs. If you don’t think so, you haven’t been paying close enough attention.

Ol’ Hank’s heart is in the right place, but he should stick to the music.

He puts on a HELL of a show by the way.

It’ll be interesting to see how much “media” play this gets, vs. celebrity after celebrity equating Bush with Hitler, calling him a baby killer, openly calling for his assassination, producing a fantasy movie of his killing, etc.

I’m guessing Hank Jr is not long for his MNF gig... He’ll be fired by week’s end.

—How many people would know who Mussolini was?—

There’s the rub. If I were Ann Couolter I might, in a live interview, compare him to Hitler in the same way williams did. That is, with a non-political analogy (like golf). Then when they call me on it I’d say, “HAHAHAHA, Did I say Hitler?! Laugh, snicker, snort!! I mean’t Mussolini!”

And then explain the tangible similarities. And they are legion.

"Obama is nothing like Hitler.

He’s like Mussolini."

To get even more directly to the point, we can also say that his economics are "fascist economics".

That requires a knowledge of history... something Americans tend not to have.

Fox News is becoming a microcosm of modern U.S. society, all isolated up there in NYC. The people working there are inundated with liberal orthodoxy from grade school through college. They drink at the same bars with the other unwashed liberal fools after work. It was a matter of time before Fox was transformed into a mirror of its surroundings.

Save Fox News by moving its operations to Lincoln, NE. Somewhere in the middle of the country, so to speak.

Precisely. I realized, in late 2009, that Obama was starting to look like Mussolini not only in the way he spoke, but in his policies. And there is no “Godwins law” for Mussolini.

If more americans educated them selves on Mussolini, this theme would get legs. But, if more people bought WIN buttons during the Ford administration, maybe Carter wouldn’t have been elected. Heck, I’d like to buy the world a Coke, and teach it harmony...

"How many people would know who Mussolini was?

Obviously not many, otherwise they'd understand that the economic goals and policies of Obama and the economic policies followed by Mussolini are very much the same. The US economy has morphed toward fascism and the last wall against it, Liberty, is being predictably eroded by the administrative organs of the regime (see: EPA, Dept. of Energy, Boeing, Gibson Guitars, Comcast(NBC purchase). This coming election is "IT". It will be Liberty or Fascism.

Yeah, most of the idiots in this country probably think Mussolini is the guy down the road that has the pizza parlor. Now, even they know who Hitler was. I think it was great how Hank tweaked the Fox and Friends crew. They were all looking for off-stage clues as to what to do. Kilmeade looked like he was about to soil his drawers. it was a little over the top, but then that’s Hank Wlliams Jr. They had to know that going in.
