Alec Baldwin: Hank Williams Jr. Is 'A Broken-Down, Senile, Racist Coot'

Alec Baldwin took to Twitter Tuesday to bash Hank Williams Jr., the country singer who has repeatedly made incendiary comments about President Obama.

At a concert on Sunday, Williams Jr. again ranted against Obama, who he described as a Muslim "who hates cowboys, hates cowgirls, hates fishing, hates farming, loves gays." He also repeated an earlier rallying cry: "We hate him!" His comments were reportedly met with loud cheers.

Williams Jr. wasn't the only target of Baldwin's scorn. The actor also dismissed Dinesh D'Souza, the director of "2016: Obama's America." The anti-Obama documentary became a run-away hit at the box office. Here's Baldwin's take:

I would say that Dinesh D'Souza is a black belt idiot. But it's worse than that. He's a liar.

I'd say William's fans that like/tolerate that stuff are just as bad, perhaps worse. Hoyt Sep 2012 #2

to dismiss the opinion of "mere" performers, simply because they're in the entertainment field.

But Baldwin hit the nail on the head just the same.

He's got star power and he uses it for good.

I know he's gotta cringe everytime his poor brother Stephen gets up there and makes a complete idiot of himself.
