Screw Hank Williams Jr.
Edited on Thu Oct-06-11 11:28 AM by Cyrano
In his introduction song to Monday night football, Hank Williams Jr. compared President Obama to Hitler.

Espn did not run the song and Williams is now gone from ESPN. They claim they fired him and he claims he quit. Either way, good riddance.

The idiot claimed that ESPN "... stepped on the toes of the first amendment freedom of speech ..." He evidently doesn't know that that first amendment right applies to the government preventing anyone's right to free speech. ESPN is not the government. And if you want to try using his argument, try telling your boss to go screw himself/herself and see what happens.

Buh-bye Jr.

2. It was actually on Fox News that he compared Obama to Hitler, not in his intro song
ESPN pulled his song this last Monday as a result of his comments on (I think it was) Fox and Friends.

5. So the Constitution doesn't give one the right to sing redneck sports songs on ESPN?
Wow, I bet the founding rednecks are rolling over in their rebel flag draped coffins.

7. No thanks...I have standards.
Not just in who to screw, but in who to listen to. HWJr is a talentless hack living off his father's name.
