This just in: Hank Williams Jr. is a boob

[Ed W]

I'm a firm believer in First Amendment rights, even when someone opens his mouth and toads jump out.  Todd Akins, Ted Nugent, and Hank Williams Jr. have the right to speak their - admittedly small - minds out in public and everything.  And the rest of us have the right to call them for being the tools, fools, and boobs that they are.

Hank's latest intellectual product:

The country singer took a political swing at President Barack Obama while performing for a crowd of 8,500 at the Iowa State Fair Grandstand Friday night.

After finishing the song, "We Don't Apologize For America," the audience started chanting "USA, USA..." According to the Des Moines Register, Williams then told the crowd, "We've got a Muslim president who hates farming, hates the military, hates the U.S. and we hate him!"

"Next patient if you please,
Bring in another victim of industrial disease."....Dire Straits

Or...in this case...another victim of Obama Derangement Syndrome.

I agree. He's a loudmouth alcoholic.

I think that anyone who gets their political direction from an entertainer, is a boob!

I respect his right to express himself, but he's embarrassing.

When the Dixie Chicks made their stupid statement about a sitting President, radio stations refused to play their records and had mass burnings of the music.

Of course, the stations that organized this were all part of Clear Channel Communications who at the time was owned by Bain Capital.

I wonder what the chance there will be a radio station protest for Hank Jr.?

Zero.

Does anyone even play his music anymore?

The Bain Capital/Clear Channel quip was weak, BTW.

Weak?

Sounds like part of the pattern.

I like some of his old songs and I grew up with his father's music playing in the house.

He's an idiot.  A leader of the folks who support Akin's and Sally Kern's extreme dumbassism.

More likely the self-appointed mayor/governor/President/monarch.

Todd Akins, Ted Nugent, and Hank Williams Jr are a FOX SPEWS trifecta.

Don't forget Toby Keith.  Does that make it a quadrifecta?

I'll see your Toby Keith and raise you an Alec Baldwin.

I think when all this disrespect for POTUS Obama started in January of 2009, FOTD asked "why doesn't the GOP stop this before it gets out of hand?" Now, it's everywhere. And the GOP are Teapublicans today.

What goes around comes around....

Freedom of speech, it's a wonderful thing and a horrible thing.  No one person or group has the right to censor another. . .oh yeah, except the government.
