This sucks. I hope Hank Williams now really lets us know what he thinks. Maybe a song about Obama/Hitler would be nice, with a dig at ESPN?

[DManA]

I’ll bet Williams feels like an idiot for apologizing now.

[dalebert]

Bless him for speaking up

[gunnyg]

I like Hank, and I like what he said while on TV with the faux three stooges….

What I do not understand is…why do so many of these people make admirable and bold statements and then apologize?????

Is there a trend here?

Are they being systematically threatened somehow? Do they all lack the courage of their convictions? If so, are they too disappointed and surprised (at themselves).

Smell something “fishy” in all of this, folks?????

In any case, Hank Williams Jr... another American folk hero!

Hank didn’t really compare Obama to Hitler, it was simply portrayed that way by the media. He was talking about Obama and Boehner getting together to play golf and said (I’m paraphrasing), “That’s like Hitler and Netanyahu getting together to play golf. They’re enemies, they have nothing in common”. He was simply stating the silliness of the situation.

With that said, if what he said has to be explained or clarified, he’s already lost the argument.

No sympathy for Hank Williams. He was a public front for a large organization, with lots of customers who are Democrats. While I realize ESPN is run by liberals, in this case, they did what should have been done, if you look at it objectively.

If I had a company that sold a product to a wide group of people, and a company front man did something to irritate 1/2 of my customer base, that front man would be gone, period.

Not to mention that it’s wrong to compare the President to Hitler, even if it is Obama.

[rokkitapps]

They should get a gay guy in a dress to do a show tune for the intro - you know, something with values that won’t offend anyone.

All the most reason to boycott the NFL and its enablers. Mine began after the hypocrisy of the Rush Snub, and quite frankly, I havent missed it at all. And that includes the “Super Bowls” Let liberals support the prima donnas and overpriced tickets and merchandise and palatial stadiums. My Sundays are alot more enjoyable now doing other things than watching over-commercialized thug football.

And I certainly don’t waste my Monday evenings now either. Whatever liberals touch, rest assured they will screw it up.

[Freddd]

Gotta get rid of the white guys so the ‘minorities’ can have a job, remember...

[MichaelP]

It was a BS move by ESPN. Taken in context, Jr's analogy was spot on. ESPN is all about kissing up to political correctness though, evidence NASCAR...

[mmichaels1970]

Williams, the 62-year-old son of the legendary country singer Hank Williams and a widely popular entertainer himself, compared President Barack Obama to Adolf Hitler

No he didn't. That's a flat out lie.

[Joe 6-pack]

No doubt Kanye West and Lady Ga Ga are hard at work on the new intro music....

[Iron Munro]

ESPN’s loss.

After many years of being a Monday Night Football fan I am done with it.

Hank’s remarks weren’t misunderstood; they have been intentionally misrepresented. It is clear he was making a comparison - not referring to anyone as a Nazi.

This is just more political correctness run amok.
Leftists jumped on the opportunity to turn a cumbersome analogy into a racial attack.

(even if you have to manufacture one)

[WilliamofCarmichael]

He did not "[compare] President Barack Obama to Adolf Hitler." He said that Obama and Republicans playing golf together is like Hitler and Netanyahu playing golf together. I heard audio not the original interview.

If "the most busted news organization" is lying again, folks, we gotta convince Journalism to put on a clean pair of underwear and get rid of the pair with all those skid marks masquerading as journalists.

It's what liberals do.

I recall how the liberals screamed that conservative criticism of JFK caused Oswald to assassinate the President.

Some media rushed to rid themselves of conservatives. The most notable victim was Joe Pyne who had s few hundred stations nationwide.

Though I knew of Pyne only by his short-lived TV show at a later date.

The "fairness doctrine" dark age followed immediately.

Nazi Party

The National Socialist German Workers' Party (German: Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei, abbreviated NSDAP), commonly known in English as the Nazi Party (from the German Nazi, abbreviated from the pronunciation of Nationalsozialist[5]), was a political party in Germany between 1919 and 1945. It was known as the German Workers' Party (DAP) prior to a change of name in 1920.

National Health Care: Medicine in Germany 1918-1945 [Nazi health care]
Does the Modern Bureaucratization of Medicine Risk a Return to the Horrors of National Socialist Medicine?

by Marc S. Micozzi M.D.

Today we are concerned about issues such as doctor-assisted suicide, abortion, the use of fetal tissue, genetic screening, birth control and sterilization, health-care rationing and the ethics of medical research on animals and humans. These subjects are major challenges in both ethics and economics at the end of the twentieth century. But at the beginning of the twentieth century the desire to create a more scientific medical practice and research had already raised the issues of euthanasia, eugenics, and medical experimentation on human subjects. In addition, the increasing involvement of the German government in medical care and funding medical research established the government-medical complex that the National Socialists later used to execute their extermination policies. ..."

so....what we have learned from watching ESPN over the years is.....

If you work for them, AND you compare Donovan McNabb to Adolf Hitler, they are likely to put you up against the wall and shoot you.

Undercover agent Larry Grathwohl discusses the Weather Underground's post-revolution governing plans for the United States:

Larry Grathwohl:

"I asked, 'well what is going to happen to those people we can't reeducate, that are diehard capitalists?' and the reply was that they'd have to be eliminated. And when I pursued this further, they estimated they would have to eliminate 25 million people in these reeducation centers. And when I say 'eliminate,' I mean 'kill.' Twenty-five million people. I want you to imagine sitting in a room with 25 people, most of which have graduate degrees, from Columbia and other well-known educational centers, and hear them figuring out the logistics for the elimination of 25 million people. And they were dead serious."

"It was at the Chicago home of [Bill] Ayers and [Bernardine] Dohrn that Obama, then an up-and-coming 'community organizer,' had his political coming out party in 1995. Not content with this rite of passage in Lefty World — where unrepentant terrorists are regarded as progressive luminaries, still working 'only to educate' — both Obamas tended to the relationship with the Ayers."
