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.”

Good job Hank!

Of course, I am sure the small percentage of FR Rhinos will attack Hank in 3, 2, 1 ......

However, most on FR will not mind a bit. Count me in as one of those.

Agreed. Fox is not conservative news they are just less liberal
Sun news network is the ONLY conservative news outlet in north America which started just a few months ago. unfortunately they are only in Canada

This triggered Williams compared the president to Hitler.

“You know, they’re the enemy. They’re the enemy.

Yeah, I was thinking the same thing. Limbaugh got canned for crossing the pc line also.

Anyhow, I get his analogy. He was saying that he found the idea that people who would have been mortal enemies, “Hitler and Netanyahu”, would act chummy together to be unseemly and repugnant. He sees them as two faces of same coin, playing some sort of game with the public. He probably should have used better words to express his disgust. But, Hank Williams has never been one to mince words.

All things considered, this was a terrible interview for Hank Williams. It started off very stand-offish and continued in that manner for the rest of the interview. This is a morning show with light weight hosts, not really intended for serious or combative politics. So, his demeanor on this occasion was out of place. If his intent was to promote his career or his father’s music, he probably did neither a great service.

Regardless, I like Hank Williams and I think his honesty is refreshing. Even though I may agree with his general critique of our current political leaders, he probably should have chosen a different venue to make these remarks. It will be interesting to see if this causes him a problem with his NFL gig.

Liberals say Bush was like Hitler and now they say Obama is like Bush therefore Obama is like Hitler.

"If more americans educated them selves on Mussolini"

Please help educate them! Pass on the links, educate yourself and others on fascist economics. Once someone even begins to explore fascist economics the matches and parallels with Obamanomics jump off the page. The moves toward Fascism that the Progressives have made (even back to FDR) become apparent and how today's policies take us further toward fascism (by design or not) will, I warn you, fear for the survival of Liberty.

Here is an example of Sun news and what they face in Canada. You have to understand Canada is forcing news stations to not use “Islam” in reporting the news

—I warn you, fear for the survival of Liberty.—

I fear for the survival of liberty like I fear for the survival of the Dodo bird.

If you get my drift.

Um, NO! The title is extremely misleading. Hank Jr. used an analogy. He DID NOT intimate that Obozo is Hitler-esq.
