My heart breaks when I see this. Hammerin' Hank was a childhood hero to me.

I watched his record breaking home run with joy...to see him say something so dumb is frustrating. I thought he was smarter than that. How does Hank explain Ben Carson?.. Or Allen West? Or Mia Love? Or Star Parker? Or Clarence Thomas? Or Lloyd Marcus? Or Tim Scott?

Maybe to alleviate the pain I will chalk it up to him being old and crotchety....

Ask me if I give a sh... what Hank Aaron thinks.

His quota boy is a stupid jerk with no education, no morals, no drive, and no real birth certificate.

Shove it Aaron, up your Obamahole.

Before his remarks, Hank may have gotten hammered.

“My heart breaks when I see this. Hammerin’ Hank was a childhood hero to me. “

because the problem in this country is they have made everything about race, religion and ethnicity....
exactly what they claim should never be a factor.

I don’t even blame hank, its what we’ve all been taught..the white Christian male is the bad guy.

Is Hank Aaron a snitch?

If I still had my Hank Aaron baseball card, I would throw it away. What a jerk.

Hank Aaron: Once a beloved baseball hero, now a demented, senile old man so filled with hatred that he can no longer think straight.

Such a shame.

He’s not the first historic figure to say severely regrettable things late in life. Age and a sense of self-importance can loosen a man’s tongue; many significant men have gone verbally incontinent.

Hank and the left hate speech they accuse everyone else of.

Hank Aaron is probably a low-information citizen, a citizen who was never taught the federal government’s constitutionally limited powers as the Founding States had intended for those powers to be understood. So his opinion about conservatives is likely not an informed opinion.

Might be a worth while endeavor to pen an open letter to Hank in his local newspaper?!?!?

Apparently Hank ain’t making enough dough these days to be affected by the Dems war on the rich...or he’s a crony capitalist.

I’m sure Hank knew this at one point, but brainwashing and the rewriting of history by the cabal in power continues: It was the Democrats who were most instrumental in filibustering and doing their best to delay the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Republicans were 80% in favor.

Here in the Kingdom of Lies, anything goes.

Well,”Sheets” Byrd would just call me a “white nigger” and Saint Trayvon would call me a “creepy a$$ cracker” so my opinion on the subject couldn't possibly mean a thing.

Babe Ruth did it in the “Dead Ball” era; didn’t have a corked or SuperBall in the center.

But yeah, when he hit that record breaker, I cheered for him too. I was a kid back then. Same with Roger Maris, Micky Mantle, Mark McQuire, Sammy Sosa, and Barry Bonds. Everybody loves to see someone “going for it” and trying to beat a record.

This was a stupid thing for him to to say, but it’s more than that; he REALLY believes it - it does not appear to be something that he just blurted out in a moment of anger.

He’s a racist old man, and he can fade away. He’s done to me.

Evidently, skin color means more than just being an American and a hero to a lot of kids.
